did you compile the latest version from source ?

it is my understanding that lr_stalla doesn't support paddles, so I don't know how well it handles paddle games with more than 2 players. try to install the stand-alone stella You can also get the 2600-dapter D9 and use real Atari paddles

@blackjackpsp good to see you have found a workaround as solution. If you think this topic can be marked as solved please do adapt the subject of your inititial post (e.g. replace [HELP] with [Solved]). If you want you may add Triggerhappy as additional label. Cheers

@Eminem I also want add to what dankcushions said, that many game titles are not emulated perfectly. So, besides games own slowdown, even if emulated perfectly and the raw power of the Raspberry Pi, the emulation could be just not good. This is true for a lot of MAME and FBA games, I tested many. To help with the emulation speed, you could also play in lower resolution maybe. Shader also can have an impact. I wouldn't play in accuracy mode, the Raspberry Pi is really not very powerful. May I ask your overclocking settings?

Have a small update. I have verified that HDMI output works. Something is going on with how the LCD screen on my Freeplay Zero handles the resolution of the emulator. I wanted to see if I could change it in the emulator, but there are no options for resolution. :/

I had a bit of the same issue. If i understand correctly, then when you press the "escape" key on keyboard the menu pops up. What i did, i assigned in the controller setup a unused key, like the right thumbs key for example. I used the LR3 button to let it assign. In my case it made the "LR3 \XAC" key. I saved the setting to global. edited the file " /opt/retropie/configs/psx/pcsx/pcsc.cfg" Changed the line "bind \xAC = LR3" to "bind \xAC = Enter Menu" Saved file restart game. Then pressing the Right thumb opened the menu.

HEy guys. Made an account just to post this. I have realized the same exact problem. IS there anyway we can just use a control stick so the user can scroll up and down instead of automatically scrolling. I only have a few of my favorite games scraped but I stop and re read shit a lot so its annoying to have to sit there waiting for things to autoscroll. Seems like a better idea to me anyways. everyone reads at their own pace.

@jrpohlman39 good news... I had the exact same problem a while ago with Robotron. Please see the discussion here: You can map this in mame menu. Within the game it can be accessed via keyboard by pressing TAB key. You can map player 2 joystick to player 1 inputs. Even better: with the new and very cool mame2003-plus-libretro emulator there is a core option implemented for this. Once set, it enables this control scheme for all dual joystick games. See this github issue 278 and github issue 216 There is a dedicated thread in this forum for mame2003-plus here

Just to give this thread and all you guys some closure, I have not experienced any slowdown on PS1 games since installing Retropie 4.4 from scratch. Perhaps it's the new version, perhaps it was some tinkering I had done and that has now been erased. I did notice that PS1 games tend to slow down on my Pi2 when enabling enhanced resolution, either with or without the speed hack. I have not yet tampered with the overclock settings and I'm not sure if I should, since it's a Pi2... Otherwise I'll simply stick with the bilinear filtering option, which slightly improves graphics, and wait for the Pi4.

@davidgrohl Learn how to use SFTP or Samba-Shares. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#sftp https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#samba-shares If using SFTP, go to /opt/retropie/configs/all/atari5200/retroarch.cfg, or if using Samba-Shares, go to configs/all/atari5200/retroarch.cfg. Add core_options_path = "/opt/retropie/configs/atari5200/retroarch-core-options.cfg" to the retroarch.cfg above the #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg" line.

@maximumbob Here are some tips for reducing input lag. You'll never get an emulation setup to completely match actual hardware, but you can improve things greatly. I just beat 'Super Mario Brothers 3' a few weeks ago and almost got a TKO on Tyson earlier today.

I knew I was doing something obviously wrong, I just didn't know what. Upon going to go copy down the names of the files, found out it was a divided archive inside the original zip, so while I unzipped the files, I did not compile them from the archive. I feel really dumb, and apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for trying to help a sad nub.

@quicksilver perfect thanks.

Hello all, After all of ur help, I mounted the Image on the SD Card and it worked. I want to thank EVERYONE here for their help and support!
