That’s handy to know, when I moved my lad’s system from a zero to a pi3, I had issues with saves. Thanks

I just had the same problem, but I fixed it by enablling insecure guest access. See this link:

@andershp said in Retroarch 1.6.9 update slowing emulations down?:

@darksavior I did and it seems like it worked. My go-to point for latency testing has always been Batrider though, and this surely plays slower (=input laggier) than it did before. But I have not tried updating MAME2003 from source, will do this soon.

Maybe Batrider is generally just a game that's on the limit of the pi.. I tested a bunch of shooters and fighters yesterday and they all seem fine now.

You really should use FBA for certain Toaplan and Eighting / Raizing games, firstly due to the performance being better and with regards to
some games the Emulation of the sound and music is 100%............

I use FBA for all these for the above reasons

Armed Police Batrider
Batsugun
Battle Bakraid
Battle Garrega
Dogyuun
Fire Shark
FixEight
Ghox (Next FBA release will have sound)
Kingdom GP
Knuckle Bash
Out Zone
Rally Bike
Sky Shark
Sorcer Striker
Truxton
V-Five
Vimana

Hi, thank you for the kind replies. Your suggestions allowed me to explore other ways to troubleshoot. I don't have much time this evening but I did manage to resolve the issue by manually adding the appropriate <folder> data for Quarantine along with its box art in the appropriate gamelist.xml, bypassing the scraper altogether.

I have kept the original gamelist.xml just in case. For the time being, it's working as intended. Thank you for your input.

@francegue said in Kodi won't start when launched from Ports:

/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

@Rascas : indeed, installing kodi from the command line instead of from retropie-config solved the problem. Thanks!

I see I still have the file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg totally empty, do you think it can be an issue if I reboot?

@AllFather I don't know if it is still an issue but I know Amazon had a very notorious reputation for allowing fake sd cards through. Also , with a USB 3.0 adapter and matching port, the writing to the card should take almost no time at all. Even on a 2.0 port and older card I know a 32gb image will write in 30 min or less. If it is a good card, perhaps it's a corrupted download or extraction?

I know last time I had an issue I re-downloaded the image , was forced to manually deleted the partitions on the card, and created news ones. I only use Samsung Evo cards anymore and they have been beyond phenomenal and the price point is perfect.

@markwkidd said in *SOLVED* [Help Retropie 4.3] Some MAME2003 roms not working after update:

I think your project is very important.

@gamez-fan Agreed, the fixes are appreciated! :)

@mepster

but it's useful to have wifi on!

There is a script in this thread relating to turn wifi on/off by controller input

Brilliant,
Thanks for letting me know so quickly. I will install and configure these emulators outside of Retropie using sudo apt-get install.
I will keep tracking this in case they may be ported to the XU4 in the future.

Thanks all!

@rush Which version of xbox driver are you using ? Use xpad (it comes pre-installed with RetroPie), don't use xboxdrv, it has issues atleast with Kodi.
If you still have problems, post your Kodi log:

@rsn8887

Try selecting a keyboard preset from the on screen display menu.

@dankcushions said in Shader and ratio configuration issues:

@floxblah don't say 'any emulator'. give me an example. give me an example game. if it's not doing 4:3 what is it doing?

I use lr-fceumm emulator with duck tales (europe version). If i set 16:9 it will apply the 16:9 ratio and if i set 4:3 i have the game default ratio value (like the ratio value is unset).

ok but the default ratio will be 4:3 on almost all old games. some PAL (europe) versions will have borders but that won't be solved by changing your aspect ratio - they would have had borders on 4:3 tvs also.

fceumm will have options to change how it displays borders perhaps - select + X to get to the retroarch menu, then quick menu > core options. it will be the overscan options.

@buzz I've just checked and Scraper got installed successfully.

Deleting /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/ and running sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper was the solution.

Thank you so much

I have a thread about a similar topic. I went through and sorted most of the games that work better in MAME 2003/2010 vs. FBA vs. AdvanceMAME3.X. I posted lists of the rom names for each folder. I do not use the arcade folder. I believe I also posted my BIOS folder contents. I also have some other tips in that thread.

thanks!!!! i missed this.... :) PS: i had spaces in rom's name.... removing spaces they works. now seeing the story of cfg mapping :)

@dankcushions Right but I had the same problem with pi2. This is very similar...

In the emulator, i got something like this: Xbox 360 Controller (userspace ) loaded.

thanks anyway.......

I took the advice from @jonnykesh and it totally worked, the problem was indeed the custom es_systems.cfg that was created when I ran a script for installing it, thanks for the support

@scyllabus also, retropad isnt a part of the issue.
