I make sure to keep a backup of my build as an image file incase my kids mess anything up.

I also disable the launch menu for the games in options run command.

And for mame I map the mame config menu to the keyboard as they don't use the keyboard.

And using kids mode.

I ended up making a seperate kids only setup and getting my kids a pi of their own and backed up their setup so if they do somehow manage to break it I can just rewrite the image.

They didn't want much content just some of their favourites and kodi

@mitu : Thank you very much. After installing Joy2key, the navigation works again with the gamepad. Thanks for the good advice.

@mitu I have a 1440p monitor and it doesn't work
Should I also add those lines?

@bytethis

i just buy a new 64gb microsd for a backup cause my hard disk with the backup of the microsd left me 2 days ago.

Sure, no need for a hurry.

@mitu This was the fix, thank you! I think this might have been a remnant of my original setup cause I was having some HDMI issues with a black screen initially.

For some reason this fix broke my audio, but I was able to get that working again after about 30 minutes of tinkering.

Thanks for the assist!

@philcomm Hello Mr developer, thanks for the clarifications, i will test your script as soon as i move my installation from an sd card to an SSD.

@fulviolcabrera Open the Retroarch menu and select Options. Make sure Screen Orientation is set to Horizontal.

Ubuntu 20.10 isn't supported on the Raspberry Pi by RetroPie.

@popegg235 said in Can't find Drastic emulator for ds:

can anyone tell me what's the name of the drastic emulator in the retropie setup script and where i find it????

The name is drastic, it's in the experimental packages section.

And now I was also able to connect the controller!

Thanks so much, topic can be closed.

I hope so to the new version is great, it is possible to get it updated to the latest on retropie but not via source or binary at the moment unless you change a file to allow it.

This is not a problem. Usually there should also be a framefile, which is basically a textfile that references all the other movie clips iirc. Just try it.

@magick81 it's not available for the RPI4.

@mitu This is what I needed! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

Quick question for your first point "Install the latest EEPROM on a microsd card, this will update the bootloader so it supports USB"

How do I get the initial "bootloader" on the micro card in the first place? Or should I just follow the link and install EEPROM straight away. Sorry if this is a silly question.

@aimbit said in Flashing (outdated?) image to a new Pi 4 - Error Message on boot (Req. new software):

Is this something I can update on there, make a new backup image, and flash to my newer pi?

Update your system from the RetroPie-Setup on the old system - say yes when asked to update the included kernel and OS packages - then transfer again a backup to the new system.

Found this online, maybe this will help?

I doubt it.
