@ExarKunIv maybe you know how to set 60hz on retropie? I found video how to do it but I missing resolution option

@desk87 said in Autostart to ES:

By editing the code manually and forcing the correct branch to be found I was able to have the pi start emulationstation automatically.

Do you recall what was modified?

@startrekmaniac mouse works

@mitu There hasn't been a reply on that thread in months...

I'm getting both an 'xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused' response to StartX
and a response " *failed to add service - already in use?" to emulationstation.

Do you think it is related to autologin settings? It's as though both the services are started but I'm outside them (I guess because George's script itself called Xinit ... though I uninstalled Meso, Box86 and Wine).

If your Pi has a keyboad, you can also press F4 in Emulation Station to get to its command shell, and then enter sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh to edit the file. In the editor, press Ctrl+xfollowed yand Enter to leave and save the file (or press n to not save it). You can leave the command shell by entering exitor pressing Ctrl+d.

Finally, you can also use SSH (Secure Shell) to access your Pi. See the Docs about that.

@AkatoshTheGreat also it is fixable in mame via mames menus, but if you want to add other emulators, you will have issues as they expect a different device for each player. Unless you plan only using 1 player.

@nightflyer said in game reset:

@Floob
Thank you for your reaction.
I will try to find that cfg file.
You mean that i have to change the "H"
In that line?

Nightflyer.

If your config is default, that line should have a # in front of it meaning it's commented out (will be ignored) and even if not, it would only be triggered if your controller was detected as a keyboard, anyway.

More likely, your players have inadvertently triggered the reset with joystick hotkey combination (select + B) which is configured in your controller's autoconfig in:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/[device_name].cfg

Look for a line in that file that says input_reset_btn=[button value] and either #comment or remove that line.

If that doesn't sort you out, please post the full controller autoconfig profile and global retroarch.cfg (redact your cheevos password if it's in there) so we may review them.

@mitu I tried it a couple of times before finally just giving up; uninstalled Linux and retropie and went with windows running Launchbox which started working immediately. Thanks for trying to help just wasn’t for me I suppose.

@bbvbandit2 You just download the install 'image' and write it to the sdcard - it's explained in the docs.

@Istinto81
Nothing at all.

Mitu gave you the proper response with links.

@mitu This is just what I was looking for. I performed an update within retropie config and got the same result. couldn't access any setup menu. copying the ROMs and Bios over, but a couple of BIN files wouldn't copy (admin permission required). I guess after I reflash the SD card, this won't be a problem putting all my ROMs back?

@jolasvenn Post the contents of your config.txt file.

The doc page on GBA has some info about each emulator for the system. To install a new package use the RetroPie-Setup menu entry - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#manage-packages.

How to get a verbose log (though not sure if needed at this point, since the games are running) - see this page.

@dalagoth The Pi 4 can't run PS2 games. The reason some themes have PS2 collections is because you can install RetroPie on x86 hardware, which can be powerful enough to run PS2 games.

To format the drive in Windows 10 as a GPT disk:

Right click on "This PC" and select Manage In the Computer Management window, select Disk Management toward the bottom of the left side If a message appears asking if you want to initialize the disk, you can do so and select GPT and click OK If the disk already has a format, you can right click under where is says Disk # and there should be an option to "Convert to GPT Disk"
NOTE: This will erase anything you have on the disk currently. After the disk is set to GPT, you can right click the unallocated area (should be the whole disk) and choose "Create a New Simple Volume" Set the file system type and label if desired, this will format the drive

@mitu
Actually I just learned there was a port of Raspberry Pi OS for laptops. I'll get around to trying to Retropie on it.

@sleve_mcdichael
Thanks! I copied the RetroPie/retropiemenu into the HD at retropie-mount. now it works!

I just gave up on Retropie 4 it so bad I can not do any update it just keep on trying to do update with Error so i am format the sd card and no longer installing Retropie again.

I'm experiencing the same thing as OP and the "fix" from the other thread didn't work.

From the "read first", my answers:

read forum rules ✅ search the docs ✅ search the forum ✅ I found two, the one OP reference and this one; like OP, trying the change outlined in the other post did not work raspberry pi power supply ✅ I've got an official power supply for my pi 4 official image ✅ I flashed the base retropie image and the experience has been otherwise quite smoth
