Installation logs are kept in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs - get the latest log from there (you'll need SSH to copy it), then post its contents on pastebin.com.

The error is a generic one, the root cause for this should be detailed in the log file.

@ScoobyAA Happy things are working well for you and that I helped.

@nikosfx180 said in Help to run script before emulation station start:

@mitu two people here are making machines and sell extra images on sd cards and the images are free on the internet.

it's not the first time scammers are using the forum for support.

So ihave spend lot of time on my image to crate something good and i dont want to copy this people the image and sell it with cabinets and make money with my image.

Selling RetroPie images is against the project's license. You're nothing but a scammer.

I´m learning too to do some things, but Thank you anyway.

@sirhenrythe5th Hi
I should know this about the Amiga as I did have one. I wished I kept it now. I am just so used to playing games with a button for jump I forgot about the Amiga using one fire button (I used the competition pro or the 500XJ EPYX Joystick).
Thanks for the help I will check out this post.

In regards to the custom commands to disable the up control I have worked it out.

If anyone is interested when you start an amiga game through amiberry it creates an auto-startup file.
In this file you can place a custom option after the PRELOAD command
eg PRELOAD CUSTOM1=1
You would need to visit whdload.de to see the info of the game and what custom options it has.
Comes in handy if you want to add unlimited lives etc to some games.

Please stop spamming the forum topics - this is not how a forum works and it's rude.
You didn't provide any of the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, please do so and we'll be able to provide better assistance.

Quick update and some interesting details:

Following

, the controller is immediately recognized, though as a "Generic Xbox Pad". It works, but whenever I shutdown or reboot, I need to do this all over again. But what is strange is that I shouldn't need to be doing this at all: for one thing I never had to go through this workaround with my Pi 3, and second because the Xpad driver already has the device ID configured correctly and recognized as "Hyperkin Duke Xbox One Controller", but it seems that it's refusing to recognize it for me.

So why is this happening?

Please add more information about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
You can look in the emulator log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) after you've launched a game (and get kicked out) to see any errors.

How are you powering the PI ? Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu
I also installed Retropie 4.5.1 using same method as @kennex as there is no official image for RPI 4 releases yet.
Today I tried to configure wiimote for arcade shooting games using my wiimote as gun.
Thing is, in-game, crosshair is not moving, can only make it move with D-pad, and buttons A & B doesn't work aswell
I'am using official nintendo wiimote motion plus and dolphin bar (May Flash), wiimote is connected through dolphin bar not in bluetooth.
On raspbian desktop, everything is right, I can use my wiimote as mouse and buttons A & B works as right/left mouse click.
Command cat /dev/input/mouse0 shows me wiimote is sending signals, so it seems to be working, only by moving wrist not pushing any wiimote buttons..

But still didn't figured what was the issue in-game.

Could it be related to the use of RPI 4 and non-official install method ?

Thanks a lot.

@mitu when the crash happen, i hard reset then restart the system as i can't get a tty in a freeze status.. so i go like you suggest me to get log from /dev/shm/runcommand.olg but i can't find nothing. infact as sometime get no crash i find there the log without error as a list the operation in the retropie like type of emulator rom launched etc. so crash without log or log without crash.
i can't go further..infact i can't understand what happened different when one time things go perfect ( sometime i change the kernel ... but second chances to run other rom all crash so i think is not depending on this ) i don't know if depend on using a particular type of emulator : neo geo or version of mame and i don't know, it's own configuration ( video settings, audio .. ) but i can't get log after crash ... so i dont know to proceed to fix. have a nice day and thnx for all the detailed reply.

@swampshrimp said in Retropie crash:

I attempted some slight over clocking to no change in results what so ever.

Overclocking will never make your system MORE stable. It only increases the chances of instability. Please post all of your info requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first so that we can better help diagnose your issue.

Hey bud, we are in the same boat. Run jstest and write down all the inputs and corresponding numbers. Use your Rii to hit f1 while in lr-mupen64plus-next to open the retroarch GUI and scroll down to "controls", then remap everything according to you jstest results. This got me to the point where every button works except for c-up and c-right. Please let me know if you can get any further or if you've already solved the issue.

@Brigane There is, indeed, a way to use log-in info for Sky Scraper when using Selph Scraper.
https://github.com/sselph/scraper/wiki

In Command Line Flags under the sub-heading "Full List", and about 3/4 of the way down the commands, you will find the options to insert your log-in info. You have to run the scraper from the console and use the command line. You can also use the -console_src ss to force it to prioritize Sky Scraper.

As a side note, If you have some stubborn roms that won't scrape, you can edit a copy of the "Hash.csv" file to include the new hashes and then point the scraper at the updated file with -hash_file command. I use this technique all the time to scrape ps1 games that I made into .PBP files since their hashes are not in the original file.

If you have lots of roms that you need to get hashes for and add to the hash file, I wrote a nice little Powershell script that does a great job of spitting out hashes for files in lowercase. You can download it from this link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1saYP91JHvkgK8By60BRChSMakSxj3Sno/view?usp=sharing

The script runs on Windows 10 and is safe to use and distribute if you like it or feel it could help someone. The best part is being able to get the hashes output in lowercase, which is a pain in the butt if you are a Windows user.

@mitu

Sure i " said in Reicast doesn't work properly" because i solved after this topic and hope to solve completely all even with this problem in controller.

So the adapter emulates 2 joysticks, but only one is actually connected/working ?

Yes, it's all right.

This is just an example but you would have to be looking for a controller like this one that would work with what you want

Got it solved.
I outsourced the config-files to "/home/AMIBERRY Inputs".
Now everything works, i learned that retroarch seems to browse also the subfolders within "opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconfig/" ;)

This video is of the PC version. It has the same Reaver blade issue in widescreen. It's definitely the game not the emulator causing this flaw.

@Guyshlomi What are the extensions of the roms?
