They should be saved when exiting the game/RetroArch also. Check in \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch\records maybe ?

I think I figured it out. I saved these settings as core settings and I think all is well again for Megadrive/NeoGeo etc.

@BGallagherLA Im not a retropie dev so I dont have any insider knowledge to share unfortunately. The most recent WIP build works pretty well but there are still some missing emulators/packages. So the only thing I can say with certainty is that it isnt ready yet.

Note that this setting might slowdown the emulation for some systems. If this works to fix the core loading issues, then you should add this setting only in the respective systems' retroarch.cfg, i.e. /opt/retropie/configs/msx/retroarch.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/x68000/retroarch.cfg while keeping the video_threaded="true" in the main configuration file to be applied to other systems. Another thing you can try is to use the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file instead and see if replacing the (long) retroarch.cfg with it would still make the bluemsx and px68k cores to crash.

@GeekOB said in lr-atari800 not starting after updating from 4.5.1: (can I now safely revert back to the normal RetroPie repo then?) Sure, reverting will not delete your already installed version.

@dankcushions said in Boot to Retroarch?: the false meme that MISTer/FPGA emulation is somehow inherently more accurate/less latency than software could ever be persists :( I looked into Mister after reading that when it went up on his blog, and I have to say that Mister seems overly complicated and expensive. It immediately looks like something that would take huge investment of time and money to even evaluate. And then you are already in for it. The pi is cheap and relatively effective. What's even better is that it can be augmented with higher quality hardware. Need a decent sound card? Buy one and plug it in. Need better graphics? Use a fancy processor. All the Pi has to do is handle the software, and that means having a dedicated community like this one. The solution with the biggest community is always the winner, and the low price point of the pi makes it a natural. Retroarch has a new(ish) CRT Auto Switcher that should make CRT stuff easier and automatic. it does super resolutions and all that. however i'm not aware of anyone attempting it via retropie. it should be the best approach. Thanks. I've looked into the switchres settings. I think I'll try it eventually. Looks like it will take time to define the graphics modes. For now, I guess I'll stick with the tink for Lakka, because I can use a super resolution for that and Raspbian thru the Extron for any emulation I can run natively. (like Dosbox)

@BuZz my bad, sorry. I didnt know where to go. It was working earlier and just stopped after i tried updating and wanted to find out if i could fix it but ill look on other websites for an answer

@mitu Ah gotcha, no worries at all. I see now that when you guys choose to go beyond 1.7.9, in theory it should be resolved. Will test again when RA is eventually bumped up to 1.8.2 or whatever. Thanks a lot.

SOLVED!- it was in the coding- I had buttons double-coded so to speak and had a bunch assigned to R_X/Y plus&minus (input_player1_r_x_plus_btn = "5" for example) as well as what they should've been assigned. HUGE weight off my back- I've been poking around like a blind squirrel.

Damn, that tilted screen is fantastic!

I have installed the latest version of retroarch, and it ignores the configuration of ../retroarch/autoconfig/*.cfg. Has something changed? My fault, I gave him update joypad and it blocked my configuration. I deleted it and everything worked perfect.

@danick8989 I've updated normally today and voilá, BEAUTIFUL.

@mitu Ah - thanks for this. Doesnt look like it is going to implemented any time soon

@mitu Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to know! I have it working now. No idea how it got deleted, but glad this was the fix. Thank you very much.

I have an 8Bit Duo, and I did figure it out. Just assign the hot key and exit key to same home button. So that works with single press now. Then set up separate hot key/menu load for my keyboard, and can still access menus. So all good!

@Chuck_B Yes, it should.

Looks like an error starting it, can you post the /dev/shm/runcomand.log file contents ? Also, please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@dankcushions Thanks for the response. Dumb of me. I already have many of the game specific RetroArch configs on MAME for overlays. In my personal experience, the per game core saves haven't worked for a while. This goes for my 3B+ and my 4B. Would you mind checking to see that it works? In my experience it defaults to whatever options I used in the core last, regardless of whether there is a game save. Remaps work for me, but core options haven't for some time. May be because my roms are all on a USB? Not sure. I just tried one and when I booted up the rom, it saved over my core settings with the last settings I used. mupen64plus-next-pak4 = "memory" --> mupen64plus-next-pak4 = "none" I've tried using PS1 (lr-pcsx-rearmed) roms as well depending on whether the speed hack and increased res options are viable/necessary or controller needs set to analog. Is this by chance something you (or someone else) would be willing to test quickly?
