      @pie_droid Yes, you would have to have to use the same setting you paired with on the pi. It gets recognized as a different controller otherwise.

      @leanne Ok I figured it out actually!, for anyone who is quite new to Retropie like myself, this is the command you must enter:

      sudo nano /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh

      which will open a script so that you can edit a line that may look similar to this:

      omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10000 “$line”

      And change both to alsa:

      omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 “$line”

      It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you!

      @jdotfite

      I reached out to losernator and he was kind enough to provide an explanation and a quick fix:

      "Piemarquee2 gets the rom name from the list of running processes, and game-specific options should affect that.

      It seems that mk.zip.cfg was recognized as a rom file
      quick fix : rename marquee "mk.png" into "mk.zip.png"

      I created a duplicate mk.png and mk.zip.png to take care of the menu and in-game and all is good now!

      @busywait said in Advise Regarding High Scores in Donkey Kong:

      The sounds are a little harsher in fbneo (more high-frequency?)

      The sound in FBNeo should be accurate (one of our devs has access to the cabinet). Make sure you are using the right sample file for each emulator, iirc MAME need sample files with the matching samplerates, while that shouldn't be a major problem (apart maybe quality loss) for FBNeo which will convert at runtime if it doesn't match the expected samplerate. You might also want to play around with sound settings in FBNeo's core options if you don't like the default (requires restart). Btw, i'm using that sample with dkong on FBNeo (it's not copyrighted content afaik so it should be ok to share).

      @busywait said in Advise Regarding High Scores in Donkey Kong:

      The girders are more pink in fbneo

      FBNeo has the right colors (iirc the pink is not the only difference), it was fixed around 2011 in MAME and backported to FBAlpha in 2018.

      @churchill7 in mame2003-plus and mame2003 this core option will be hidden unless you're playing a game that uses the feature. I recommend running pacman then going into the core options.

      https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/blob/7ea22d44c0d899cf7670d458cd6dac0942839d2d/src/mame2003/mame2003.c#L187

      The default is probably decent though like you observed in Tron.

      @mitu

      That seems to have sorted it! Thank you!

      When I stared out I first visited the retropie docs
      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PC/#install-gravis-ultrasound-gus

      Which redirected me to this guide from 2015, that suggest using .sh scripts.
      Now that everything is working I'll start converting everything over to just using conf-files, and optimizing the games :)

      Video smoothing often makes the picture way too mushy for my taste, especially if the original resolution is very low. I prefer good crt shaders like the zfast shaders from @ghogan42.

      As for other video settings, I prefer the "core provided" aspect ratio, because I don't like, say, a 4:3 picture stretched to today's common 16:9, or the 3:4 ratio of many classic vertical games stretched to the native 4:3 on my DIY cabinet, making all game characters appear a little overweight to outright obese.

      @melbmatt50 i did - both links are instructions for “headless” (no screen) set ups. you just need to plug your sd card into the pc you used to the write the image and create files in the /boot/ partition.

      If you use a Euro (PAL) rom on a US (NTSC) machine, the game will run fast.
      If you use a US (NTSC) rom on a Euro (PAL) machine, it will run slow.

      So, if you are in the US running RetroPie on a US TV, you should not use a European rom. You can switch the Pi into PAL mode (if you have a TV that can tolerate it) and it will run at normal speed, but I wouldn't recommend it if you can just get the US version instead.

      As outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, we don't support 3rd party images.
      Selling systems with the RetroPie image bundled is against the project's license, and the games/roms included are also probably not licensed. We don't support scammers.

      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.

      @bpcervantes We don't support 3rd party images. Use the image from https://retropie.org.uk/downoad and then add your own games as described in the docs.

      Looks like a permissions problem or a funky named controller that's not saved or possibly other problems (disk full ?) that prevent Emulationstation to save the controller configuration.
      My advice is to start with a clean image and work from there - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

      there is an option to select analog or digital in mame2003+ as it supports analog 2003 doesnt just go to your options and change you controller setting to digital.

      it sin options->control mapping change it to digital and it will work for snes pads and arcade sticks ect with having to set all the inputs. The majority of people want real analog controls when available so thats the default.
