@dthgti said in Launch script with Joystick:

but, how do i autostart that on every boot?

triggerhappy runs as a service when your system starts. Unless you've disabled it, it should read the configuration file and do the actions configured.

@mitu I transplanted the configurations from a newly installed Retropie card to my existing installation, and have lr-atari800 working again.

Thanks

@hawkes_84 Thanks will do. The controller should be here in a week.

@BuZz, It appeared to have worked after a uninstall of my previous set up and following your link for the manual install.

Cheers. Would you recommend any settings that I should change for a raspberry pi 4 for a better experience?

@pinacolada Ok so I think I've resolved this.

Firstly, I took advice from a YouTube video which described how to update RetroPie itself - this took me to the following screens:

Update Remote Setup Script Basic Install Perform Reboot

It took a while, and looked like some errors occurred during the install, however...it did come back up, and now the hotkey + right trigger DOES load from the save slot.

So I guess the root cause here was an older version of Retropie.

What game(s) have you tried? It could be a corrupted ROM, so try a few different games or try to find another copy of the game.

Have you tried to remove the redream package and re-install from the latest binary?

Also have you tried using the lr-flycast or Reicast emulators to run the game instead? Both can be found within the optional packages menu. When launching the ROM, hit a button to choose which emulator to use(once you have installed them). All three emulators run well on my RPI4 4Gb at stock speeds.

Only other thing is to think your pi is throttling, have you any heatsinks/cooling? Are you using a case?

@simpleethat I didn't think I could, but I just had to ask. Thanks for the reply! :)

@mitu thanks that worked a treat!

Nasty the speaker wasnt working glad you got it fixed!

@sarahsen said in Retropie 4.6 real cd-rom support:

If anyone’s interested, I can post the whole procedure.

Sure, that would be interesting. Thanks.

yes sorry meant "pi" . It was the password that had been changed but not sure when. Was able to change back through sudo raspi-config. Thanks for you help

@mitu gasp, that did it! Thank you very much, I had a hunch it was either memory card or video related and was trying to see if I could reinitialize the cards from within redream, but you can't. Oh well, thanks for helping me fix it!

I am new to this game as well, but before anyone asks, I know one person who is sick and tired of saying it, you need to fill in/read this first, that way you will get more help.

As for your questions, even though I am still a novice I may be able to help on A

If you hit the Start key and bring up the main menu, you can go down to UI settings, and change the themes etc. On the Gamelist View Style, there is an Automatic option, every timeI have used this it will display both boxart and video's. It also does the same with video's settings.
If your getting black when it fades from the boxart image, it may not necessarily mean the video isn't there. It may have scraped but the video doesn't have the right codec for the Pi. I myself had this issue.
If you follow this guide https://github.com/hiulit/RetroPie-Convert-Videos it may help with any non-playing videos. It certainly did mine.
Also if you look in the Media or images folder that is associated with the system you are playing on you can see what images are there, and what videos.
Put on your PC a program called WinSCP and you can look at your pi directory from the PC and do all the necessary from that.

B0 I am sure somebody will correct me, but also if you use WinSCP you can look in the Media/image folder for MAME and you might find the image used for emulationstation. But you will probably have to edit the .cfg file associated with this, in order to display the image you want.

Hope it has been some help.

@Kookamunga said in need help saving settings in retroarch:

Check out my response here:

See if that works for you.

i found the close session, but when it exited to the nothing running in retroarch menu, i couldn't press anything to navigate...this is difficult for me. i've been trying to fix this for like 4 days hahaah! i suck at this, but i enjoy the challenge i guess! anyway, thanks if anyone has had this happen to them and would throw me a bone, i'd sure appreciate it!
thank you

no news??

@mitu Can do! New to the forums and still figuring out preferred practices. Thank you!

@lecreateurlol on Linux system, without doubt.

Here is a final snippet

"May 03 12:11:25 lvl3: UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (XBOX) ):Button 0, isMappedTo= a, , value=1
May 03 12:11:25 lvl2: req sound [video.launch]
May 03 12:11:25 lvl2: (missing)
May 03 12:11:26 lvl2: Attempting to launch game...
"
So no errors.....

But I have managed to find a fix.

I'm also using the gtx970 as my sound card. if I disable this retropie works fine.

Guess this will just be one of these really odd bugs that only effects me :)

Thank you for your time
