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.

Gemba created this issue in RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup open inifuncs.sh: using basic RE to allow meta-chars in keys , eg. +() #3349

@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!

From a cursory look: The only red flag I noticed is that it creates a world writeable folder /opt/dev_philcomm (why that?) which is not removed by the uninstaller script (woot!).

Other than that it should work, relies on omx player.

@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.

@codafire for mame 2003 you can enter the mame menu by:

pressing tab on a keyboard. retroarch main menu-> quick menu-> options-> display mame menu-> enable

Then go under input general and change your key presses how you like. The top option will toggle the mame menu and the service buttons 1 through 4 can be set bellow as well.

@daviddraper

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@aimbit said in Flashing (outdated?)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.

Yup that fixed it and everything looks to be running ok

Thank you guys very much

@andrea-panatta Try updating the shell script and see if it shows up

The PSP emulator was having similar problems to the other emulators listed in that I couldn't get the analog sticck working. I think also that the dpad may not have been working properly either.

I tried several of the N64 emulators available. All of them were very slow and jerky. The emulators were:
mupen64plus2rice(may not be the exact right name)
lr-mupen64plus
mupen64plus-next.
There were other emulators but they were all variants of the mupen64plus name.

I tried using the esc key to access the configuration and binding settings but all it did when pressing the keyboard was to exit the game back to the game selection screen.

I found freeintv and that works much better than the other intellivision emulator.

@shredman said in Retropie - Update Script error:

I tried it yesterday and today. Are you able to update the retropie script without an errormessage like this ?

Yes, I can update using the same environment.

is it possible to install a fresh retropie without loosing all the emulator and retroarch settings ?

Yes, but you'd be having the same error - the install process will also download those packages.

Just for someone else experiencing the same problem, make sure you have free space left on your sd card. Check if the expand fs ran successfully at some point.
