OMG, that was the problem. I had:

amixer Simple mixer control 'HDMI',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback -10239 - 400 Mono: Playback 120 [97%] [1.20dB] [off]

set to off

So, after doing amixer sset HDMI unmute :

Simple mixer control 'HDMI',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback -10239 - 400 Mono: Playback 120 [97%] [1.20dB] [on]

Thank you very much!

@UndeadSoul I managed to rectify the problem. I used WinSCP for file transfer, and copied the video screensaver into the /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/mame-libretro directory, mapped a game's metadata to this exact directory and this worked perfectly.

@Skum1988 said in Various issues on a new Retropie:

I can see ''segmentation fault" what can I do?

The way to debug this further is using a debugger (gdb), but that's not easy.

Is there a way to reinstall everything without losing my roms and configs?

Save the roms and /opt/retropie/configs folders and re-install the system, then restore the folders' contents. You can also get the 2 folder file shares, from a PC on your network, using Windows Explorer and browsing for \\retropie\roms , \\retropie\configs - you probably want to back-up the BIOS folder also (\\retropie\BIOS).

@mitu thank you problem solved:
Deleted 1st partition (unused 16mb)
And now /dev/sda1 is correctly mounted ...on my hdd2...465gb
Retropie boots quickly and without warnings.
Thanks

This means the system is not powerfull enough to emulate the game/system at full speed. Given it's a Pi3, it's not unusual since N64 emulation is not fullspeed on it.

@RealDave98 I have a raspberry pi 500. I have no sound and all of my emulators are sped up. I have installed dev version of emulationstation. I have read that the sped up emulator is a side effect of no sound.

I'm at a loss
I have edited es_config.txt and added my soundcard name and chose HDMI. Any help is appreciated.

@Rooo7223 said in Retropie games aren't showing...:

there was absolutely no games preloaded.

Yes, that's correct and this is how the image works. There are no games included with the image and you need to add your own games to it in order to play games.

and try to fix it but I really going to do anything. if you do know how to fix this please comment. but i don't feel like going on a emulator website and downloading all the game.

This is explained in the docs -https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ and https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/.

@raspberry79
this is as close as we have at this time.

@mitu Great, thanks!

You can use jscal to modify the deadzone(s) of an analog joystick, then jscal-store to save the values so they can be applied automatically on boot.

@barbudreadmon oh ok I didn't realize they all should be uncompressed, I will try uncompressing them.

I will try the dmesg command and see what it shows, thanks

@ldeveraux damn, sounds logic haha

@mitu Noted. I understand.
Thanks once again for your help. It has been very useful to me

@martinrdgz before you dump your setup you may check these:

Run wpa_supplicant manually with -d : https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/103442

Maybe line ending in the wpa_supplicant.conf may be the cause (Mac -> Linux):
https://stackoverflow.com/a/18344020

And I noticed a space in the `psk="<space>...", is put there deliberately?

@mitu OK. My RPi doesn't have Wifi, the display works. Maybe someone else will have an idea..
Thanks for your help, best regards.
