Sorry to hear that your pi isn't working. It sounds like to me that your SD card might have corrupted, as it crashes during gameplay rather then in the menu. I'd suggest that you get a fresh new SD card and and install retropi 4.2. This is an old version but it is extremely solid. I have used it on two different pi's and it's worked fine. You can download it here. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases/tag/4.2. Reinstall all of your roms, like before, and try again in your current pi. If it still doesn't work, then unfortunately your pi has a hardware fault and may need replacing. Regards.

@RpiBeginner said in Sound error in retropie: Its always easy to suggest "Use another sound card".. I was suggesting to change the settings in Emulationstation, not the device...

@m2306 Mame2003plus started to use analog as default for some reason. Change it back to digital in retroarch.

@mitu I did that, and it didn't solve anything, I am just going to use mame2010 and fbneo for now.

Could be a throttling issue. I have decided to move the amiga games one folder at a time into the roms folder. So I will scrape all games beginning with A in the roms folder. I'll then do the same with B etc and create a number of gamelist.xmls I'l then do a merge of the gamelist.xmls and edit it to point to the correct folders. A bit of work but it should hopefully do the trick rather than scraping all at once in different folders. Regards Jimi

Worked perfectly. Thank you so much!

The only part of the runcommand (which runs the games) that uses sudo is the CPU governor switch. Try adding your user - that auto-logins and runs Emulationstation - to the sudoers configuration file so is able to run sudo without being prompted for password. Type sudo visudo to start editing the file and make sure you have an entry with <user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL but replace <user> with your actual username.

@BadFurDay said in Retropie - Attract mode question: @darkmenace That setting should boot Attract Mode into the last display it was on before you quit it last time. You need to quit for it to work though, if you force shutdown or pull the power it won't save where you were. You should set a button for exit (not just back) and exit it from Attract Mode while on your Arcade display. If you then do force shutdowns or pull the power you won't need to do this again. When you exit Attract Mode does it go to terminal or have you set it to shutdown? Thanks again BFD. It is now working as expected :)

The answer to your question is 'No', there's no build for N2 coming soon. As far as I know there's just a pull request opened for adding support, but it seems incomplete.

@DesertStorm Hey my dude, I'm experiencing the same issue with my other emulators. I'm also running it on a pi4. how did you get it resolved? Did you have any issues with the screen resolution and pi4? Saludos

@SpudsMcToole said in Super-basic Retropie Setup Script question: @WarC0zes said in Super-basic Retropie Setup Script question: This tutorial worked for me : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch On the Big List Of Things I Don't Want To Do, typing stuff like this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get -y autoclean ...is really, really high up. (I mean, I don't even know WHERE I'm supposed to type that. I manage my Pi through the WinSCP interface and no command typing is ever required.) You have to use PuTTY to type the commands. Launch PuTTY, enter the raspberry ip and connect. User: pi Password: raspberry From there you connect to the raspberry in ssh and can type the commands. It takes a little time to update jessie at strech.

There really are a lot of changes that make for a good install of retropie for Gpi. From boot/config.txt changes, to dtbo device tree overlay files (and renaming them to prevent an over-write), to quieting the boot text, to using a custom kernel with a boot logo, to a good splash screen video, to a good theme, to picking the right default emulators, to working around controller input issues with xboxdrv, to configuring proper es_system settings, to many other tweaks and changes. While it may never end up being an official "version" of retropie for Gpi, it really does become difficult to manage every single tweak and change that makes it better for Gpi. The guides might be the best bet for now, and maybe some day scripts can be created from the guides info that can just be run to make all the changes.

@Hanky42 said in Retropie and Libreelec: Wouldn't KODI want media added to it's library? yes? you add files to the library over network without moving the actual files or you can just play them directly from the source. personally i use mysql (alltho a bit slow) to avoid having to recreate the library and remember which movies i watched on all devices using kodi in my home. if you want something easier, you can look up plex media center, but i belive a "dedicated" server is required for that, i am unsure if it will run both a player and a server on one raspberry.

@Clyde Thanks Clyde I'll have a look. Cheers for the heads up.

@ellohir @backstander @celly Thanks for your interest in Godot :) First and foremost, if you are using a Raspberry Pi up to the 3 B+, most likely almost no games will work :( We'll see how the new Raspberry Pi 4 works, because it brings GLES3 and that's what most Godot games are built upon. That said. if you have an x86 machine running RetroPie most games will work :D I would suggest you to try some of Securas games https://securas.itch.io/ for starters.

@ExarKunIv Yes I was not able to get the latest version of OpenRCT2 working at all on my 3b+. I was able to get an older version running but it had a glitch with the mouse cursor that I couldnt figure out.

Glad to hear that!
