@BigGold said in RetroPie recommended x86-x64 system? Also, questions about Rpi5 vs 4:

I don't really play anything beyond a PS1, so I was wondering if it would be possible to run it on a core2duo system with integrated graphics or possibly a AMD HD 5000 series card for the ability to use a tv via component. would 2gb suffice or should i be looking at a more powerful setup?

A Core2 Duo system is waay too old to be a recommended system. If you're looking to 'downgrade', then a Pi4 would be perfectly fine.

@mitu said in Sega CD Game Not Loading - Annett Futatabi:

What's the actual name of the file you're launching (.cue, .chd) ? I think some characters from it might trigger this error in runcommand.

Annett Futatabi (Japan).chd
Annett Futatabi (Japan).cue

I just renamed the file to "Test.chd" and guess what, it boots! Thanks for the help.

@clyde ah, I hadn't considered converting them directly in the cache. That would save the trouble (and the bandwidth) of downloading them again just to do the same conversion anyway.

@g2000 said in Retropie x86 on GalliumOS - Baytrail audio issues:

@johnodon - THAT DID IT!!! Omg dude thank you! I've been loosing my mind with this. So it ends up there are two resolutions this thing picks up. It defaults to 1366x768 that has two refresh rates 60Hz and 40Hz. The next one is 1360x768 and runs at 60 - 59Hz. Switched it to that and magically it just worked. Cant believe it was something that simple. Canτ thank you enough!

Been there. :D More often than not, 4K TVs are the culprit.

@seraphiscain said in (RetroPie X86) How to change global lr- emulator volume?:

Is there any way to get the setting in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to actually apply to all lr- emulators?

They should apply to all lr- emulators. Unless you've used 'Save Configuration' for one of them, in which case they won't, since that would break the inclusion of said .cfg file - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#config-hierarchy.

@mitu works, thanks!

@saku00 Sadly, I don't think it is. The only emulator I know of that even supports the DS-i is melonDS, which even then is still a WIP and not available on RetroPie at the moment.

Oops, sorry about that. Have updated the original post.

@BuZz Just a heads up that libretro-uae accepted the fix and merged it to master.

Solved?

The problem was that the pi4 has 2 "connected" outputs (given by xrandrs output), this means that the MODE_CUR array is increased by one (HDMI-1 HDMI-2), and MODE_CUR[5] becomes aspect ratio instead of being the refresh rate, my solution basically looks for /primary/ instead of /connected/... but no clue if that will mess things up for others.

@etheling said in Update retroarch.sh to enable KMS/DRM on x11 platform?:

Other than patching files under RetroPie-Setup, is there some way to achieve this that I didn't realize?

No, you need to patch the scriptmodule to have both vulkan and KMS support.

@sirhenrythe5th I'm not an expert so I'm not sure. I would assume that would also require a better gpu as well. I mainly use the Pegasus front-end and that got a boost in speed when I switched from a pi3b+ to a pi4.

@mitu Oh ok, that’s a bit of a bummer. At least I know why it doesn’t work though. No big deal, I mainly use it for MAME anyways. Thanks for all your help!

@mitu Thanks a million mitu, it's works. PROBLEM SOLVED. you are genius!
