It was possible to configure my controller with the instructions from this topic:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35466/dolphin-controller-not-working/3

RetroPie just packages RetroArch - you may want to report to the upstream project. You should add a way to reproduce the issue without relying on a specific device, so that any developer familiar with RetroArch's input system may be able to analyze and maybe fix your issue.

@pibell90 said in A new resoloution option should be added to raspi-config:

@pibell90 Yeah I don't think that 720x480 has a DMT mode, so is there anyway to bypass that altogether?

You can create a custom video mode - see https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=24679, which is aimerd specifically at this kind of scenarios.

If you can install RaspiOS on that partition and have it working, then you can install RetroPie (manually) over it. Using the Raspberry Pi image provided is not going to work to install RetroPie just for a partition.

@mitu , thanks a lot! was indeed the retroarch folder.

had the similar issue and

Here it is, I've updated via setup script

use_art = "0"
disable_joystick = "0"
governor = ""
disable_menu = "0"
image_delay = "2"

Excelente trabajo, me gustaría saber si lograste adaptar el tema a una pantalla pequeña 4:3, si me lo puede compartir, realmente esta genial tu trabajo

@mitu Sorry for the late reply. The issue in question still occurred when I tested my Pi on other TVs. As my main TV doesn't have any video issues when displaying low resolution game systems, I've kind of assumed the problem was something with my Pi's video settings.

@zipino82 in the first post there is a whole bunch

@abj Thank you SO MUCH, I was super lost when it came to this but it worked <3

@mitu How are you, dear friend? I told you in my reply that I have installed Openbor from the retropie repositories, I changed the flags:
64bit gl vulkan x11

@queenkjuul said in EmulationStation becomes unusable / registers no input after exiting game:

Is it possible to configure both keyboard and gamepad input for the menus?

Yes.

@mitu I have resolved my issue it boiled down to two things 1) someone told me to make sure that the keyboard on retropie was set to U.S. which it was not and 2) I was trying to share files through ftp and not sftp. thank you for help

@abj ok

Hello @mitu

As i promised, I modify the /boot/cmdline.txt file from windows and it worked!

Thank you for your support

@Scionni Did you have any other knock on effects of doing this method? I followed your exact steps, which worked awesome (thank you!) for configuring the controller in dolphin, but now every time I load up my Retropie I get this message which won't go away until I login:
Pac-Man Screen Shot 5-5-2.png

I've already tried going into raspi-config and selecting to autoboot to my user pi but that doesn't seem to work either.

@erdoc789 said in Failure attempting Freer Manual Retropie setup pi 5:

any resources you would suggest (I know there are some here)

The Debian user manual is a good start. Running a Linux desktop for a while exclusively is also a good way to grasp how Linux works underneath.

@mitu Oh,cool
problem complete
this xpadneo troubles?

@mitu thankfully I just figured out how to do that and had putty set up so I’m back to ES.
I’ve also learned that the Pi is still running after Kodi crashes. It just sends my tv to no signal so I thought it shut off.
