@hawkes_84 To not get too much into it, you will have to put in the full file path from the root folder to the pcx file as this tells the computer where to look. Just saying psx will not be enough. It should look something like this: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx Then if you add your file name to the mix it will look like so: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/file.bin.ecm Note that this path will be dependant on your system set up. A short way of getting the path, however, is by simply right-clicking on your .ecm file and selecting "Copy file path(s)" if you are doing this in Raspberry OS.

@norbit911 Why do it backwards ? You can start the Desktop from EmulationStation, so leave EmulationStation running by default. If you wish to run the desktop also when exiting EmulationStation, modify the autostart.sh file and run the desktop startup command after the emulationstation line.

Thanks that fixed it.

You didn't mention how installed RetroPie.

@ClassicGMR I have the same issue. I suspect it's user error! Also, thanks :-)

i had something similar happen with my roku / TV .... LG pushed out some sortof update that didnt work well with roku.. i had to connect to another TV memorize the key strokes to set the resolution to a lower resolution. It worked fine after that ... dont know if i ever increased the resolution again. Possibly adjust resolution lower and see if that resolves the problem.

@americanman28 said in Enter every boot help please: @mitu so no idea on how to fix? You offered no information about your system (as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first) and what could cause this, so yes, I don't have an idea what can be done to fix it.

Do you have an error log where this error shows up ? From the log you posted, I see that the core packages have installed fine. Not sure what else can be done if your internet connection bugs out.

@stattmone If you're using the standalone emulator, then the configuration you've done have no effect. Look in the /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg file and re-arrange the controllers there (look for [Input-SDL-Control1], [Input-SDL-Control2], etc.). The same file is available at \\retropie\configs\n64, if you're using file shares to access your Pi.

@mitu @mitu said in First-time user issues: When using the Libretro (RetroArch) input configuration, then yes, you can't have different auto-configs for each player. You can, however, using either a core input remap to change the mapping or use the MAME input configuration, which can be accessed by pressing Tab (you'll need a keyboard for this). Thanks! I'll have a look.

@VictimRLSH I figured there wasn’t much of a gain between the two. I only went with the 8g since I was jumping from a raspberry pi 3b and figured I may as well spend a little extra and have more ram. I plan to use a few different cards to experiment a bit. This wasn’t meant to replace my custom Ryzen desktop build, this is more for fun. Already setup a desktop environment last night. I’m interested in overclocking this to see how it handles different applications. I already know the overclock will definitely help in emulating Dreamcast and 64.

What version of RetroPie do you have currently installed ? If you used an image version older than 4.6, then you'll need to install from a new 4.6 image on the new system. To transfer your existing files, backup your ROM/BIOS/Config files from the 3A+ installation, then restore them on the new installation.
