Can you please add more details about your setup and issue, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
Use English please, this is an English speaking forum.

@xionyus as I’ve told countless others that are new here with prebuilt systems, retropie is not a product you buy, but a hobbyist project that lets people build their own retro console. There is no firmware, there is no single programmer. It’s a mishmash of many different programs and projects by many different people. The retropie developers just brought them all together into a nice tidy little package. But it far from a full retail package.
The reason why we can’t help you is a lot of us know how retropie is supposed to work out of the box, with the base image. And is pretty simple. If something goes wrong, it requires your knowledge of what you did to figure out what’s going on. We have no idea what a 3rd party did, therefore can’t help.
Try starting over and enjoy the journey of how all the pieces work together, like how many of us started.

@oli said in Updated : New to retropie - no audio on Retropie using new Rasberry Pi 400:

The background music is only playing in the main menu.

RetroPie doesn't include any background music - are you using a RetroPie standard install image ? Please open a new topic and add your info, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@dreamcastkid got it. thanks again. Think I am all set here. Appreciate it.

@gogoretro yes. In general:

For an snes labeled controller, alter labels for x-box

Keyboard keys = controller buttons

Arrows = direction buttons
Z = B
X = A
A = Y
S = W
Q = L1
W = R1
Etc

@mitu holy cow, it actually worked. Them guys are really quick, seeing how I installed the emu only last week.

Thanks :)

@siwobrody Me neither. As a last check you can try setting the savestate_directory key in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to something else, for example savestate_directory = "/home/pi".

By the way, Linux doesn't have any drive letters, but only one big directory tree where you "mount" any additional drives to any of its branches.

If you're interested, see here for more about that. 🤓

[INFO] [GL]: Detecting screen resolution 1360x768.
[ERROR] [KMS/EGL]: Did not find suitable video mode for 1360 x 768.

Seems to be an issue with the screen resolution, when I downgrade it the ROMs launch again ....

Will keep you updated on any fix, thanks .

@mitu Yes i have the default file present.

@johnnytwolegs It entirely depends on your network setup.

If you NAS is connected to the internet, then I guess it's a matter of configuring the firewall to allow access to the CIFS ports and making sure that file sharing is enabled for the internet interface. If you have a router in-between, you might need to forward the CIFS ports from the network interface to your NAS box.

Again, a configuration I strongly suggest against, since it exposes your NAS to the internet.

@kennyp55 We don't support pre-loaded systems or 3rd party images. Start with the image from retropie.org.uk/download and follow the instructions to install it - it's all in the Docs.

The installer looks pretty simple - did it create the retrogame.cfg file in /boot ? Are you running the installer as root (via sudo), as indicated in the instructions ?

@studysession double check your GPIO connection. Also try switching to unsafe shutdown (switch in the case PCB) if you have that and see if you have it to power on.

@VictimRLSH Street Fighter Alpha 2 will always be my overall number one SF.

@Sircoynie said in Razer Atrox Arcade Stick Help:

I have seen a thread about this on here gut it gives no explanation on how it was solved and is very old.

I think the solution was to mod the stick with an IPAC usb encoder.

So i bought some electronic switches and a custom usb keyboard encoder (ipac2), installed it in my atrox and ended up with a fully working xbox one and raspberry pi machine.

Can you try to test the controller with jstest, from the command line and see if the inputs are registered ? Exit EmulationStation and run from the terminal

jstest /dev/input/js0

You can exit the test by pressing Ctrl+C.

I will give that a try and get back to you thanks.

@Bluebotlabs thanks so much for the help 👍🏻

@YFZdude said in Save States:

The SELECT button is it's own button. The HOTKEY can be a different button. You may not have any games that use SELECT. What matters is that you have a mapped HOTKEY button. To save states it should be HOTKEY + R1.

Yeah, the hotkey +R1 is working fine now. Silly me. I understand now. Thanks for your explanation though. Now for some retro gaming fun!
