@tyon2006 said in Using HD LCD with Retropie and RPi4:

Makes sense. Any thoughts on retroarch/emulation station supporting these super high resolutions?

If you add a custom hdmi_mode and it's recognized by the Pi4, it should be used automatically.

On the Pi3, I couldnt even get it to boot up all the way

That's normal, since the Pi3 didn't support these large resolutions.

Aha!

So it works, thank you very much for your guidance, Rascas!

So, for future Googlers who may be having this same issue (Missing the PVR's in Kodi on Retropie), here's the full solution:

Install Retropie, then install Kodi via the "Optional Packages" in the configuration menu.

When you're in Retropie, press F4 on your keyboard to open a Terminal window.

Enter the following commands one at a time (to install the "IPTV Simple PVR"):

apt-cache search kodi-pvr

sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple

Once complete, type "exit" (without the quotation marks) to get back into Retropie.

Scroll to Ports then choose Kodi.

In Kodi, DO NOT go to PVR's. If you do you will see it is blank and will get angry and think what you did in fact did not work.

Instead, go to "Add-Ons" then "My Add-Ons" and view "All" and you will see the IPTV simple client. Go to it and then Enable it as most likely it will be Disabled to begin with.

Voila!

If you know how to use IPTV then go ahead and set it up.

Take Care!

@VictimRLSH Thanks. Then at least it matches my experiences.

@mitu OK thanks

Now it works. Thank you very much.

@mitu
Thanks for the advice. I ended up re-installing on both cards. It worked just fine, set up the controllers, then tried to get back into ES, but the errors started again. Re-installed image again and worked fine, so far. So it's up and running, but not perfect.

Thanks for your help!

@Darksavior said in PI4 8GB & Retropie - Is it supported?:

@Clyde I'm not sure if installing from source are made to use the extra ram, but it'd be a plus if it could.

The buffers / disk cache that show up in free -h and your desktop tool shouldn't be affected by the installation method, as AFAIK they are managed by the Linux kernel itself. But as such, they'd only speed up repeated loading of the same files, e.g. the pictures or videos when browsing games in Emulation Station.

I don't want to start over if I buy a raspberry Pi 4 as it took me a long time to put this image together.

this was an image downloaded from arcade punks

You lied. You refuse to start over fresh on a pi4 because you decided to stay ignorant on a DIY hobby. You ordered the old 3b+ because of this. /facepalm.
Arcade Punks have their own forum if you don't agree with the rules here.

I see no difference downloading an image with games included and ready to go.

Their configurations are altered which produces bugs unique to those images. One of the reasons we won't troubleshoot those.

My 3b+ arrived last night and yes, the SD card image works. So relieved! 😁

Oh...and when I said that it took me a long time to put together I wasn't lying. Just because I didn't download everything required separately doesn't mean it was easy.

My computer is roughly 15 years old and it took a long time to transfer over everything to the SD card when the download was done. Had to keep the computer on overnight to finish the transfer. Not to mention downloading a 64gb file took all day.

So that's why I didn't want to start over. If that's a form of ignorance then so be it.
I got an awesome image with over 22,000 games on it. It took a long time to get that done so it's natural I wanted to preserve it and not start over.

The new pie is running considerably faster and I am enjoying it thoroughly. Hell, I might do it the old-fashioned way and build something from scratch now that I have a faster board. I really didn't need a raspberry Pi 4 anyway because I wasn't using it to play harder games like Dreamcast, N64or PSP.

I have no regrets buying "old" hardware as you put it. I stand by my decision regardless of what anybody thinks. I also saved a lot of money going this route because all I ordered was the board and nothing else. I already have a power supply that works with it and a raspberry Pi 2 case that fits. If I bought the raspberry Pi 4, I would have spent double because I have to buy everything from scratch.

So what's that saying... Ignorance is bliss!!!
Yes sir it is. 👍

@mitu yep I see that now, the site I found didn't say anything about ROMs. But it's quite clear the op bought a pre-loaded system for sure.

An easy way to replace the artwork location in the gamelist.xml with another / new one is the sed command (stream editor). This example changes the video directory from the relative path ./media/videos/ to the absolute path /mnt/artwork/videos/:

cp gamelist.xml gamelist.xml.backup # make a backup in case something goes wrong sed -i 's#<video>./media/#<video>/mnt/artwork/#g' gamelist.xml

The part in single quotes does the actual sed-magic:
s(earch)#[old string]#[new string]#g(lobally, i.e. all occurences)

This works for every other path, just change <video> to <image>, <marquee> etc. Omitting the artwork tag before the path will change any occurence in the file, e.g. if the whole artwork is located in another place.

Execute man sed in the command line to get the manpage (manual page) of this tool, or search the web for myriads of examples.

@mitu Hey mitu! Thanks for the suggestions. I figured it out after - I simply tried plugging it into a TV instead of my monitor, and no issues - I can see everything just fine. I think I had the wrong resolution settings perhaps, or maybe it was something to do with the high refresh rate. Regardless, thanks!

Hi,
I found the problem.
I analyzed the cable button with a tester and I found that also the blue cable also have 5v, I changed the cables changing the red by blue and is working fine.
Regards,

Sure thing. Glad it worked

@ash0904 Hi,
I have a doubt. Does Raspbarry pi 3 run on ps2?
