Good to hear all is working well!

I still need to buy a Pi 4 so it will take some time for testing it out..

Thanks for the support!

@chicuelo lost me there, I found the other post useful.

@notthesame I can't believe that worked, you are a godsend. I'd also like to add a few details:

After pressing Start and Y, the LEDs start to rotate from left to right. After that, you hold pair for 2 seconds, the LEDs go off for a second, and then they start to rotate again.

At this point you need to go through the Bluetooth pairing process again (and if your controller is already paired, you should un-pair it before you re-pair it) but you do NOT need to set up the udev rule. All you need to do is reboot and configure the input like normal.

I think this should be added to the documentation.

@mitu yes

I'm new to retropie, the PI4 was sleeping nearly a year until I guess I found a project where I want to use it. :-)
although well documented on the github it is not for raspberry pi, did anybody try to compile and build it as a selectable option in retropie based on a raspberry pi 4, suceeded and has a half-newbie howto for this? :-)

thank you!

I saw this thread, so I set up lr-hatari, got it working, and updated the docs, mostly just from the core's github readme. It worked pretty much first try, but the docs previously only covered Hatari standalone.

One thing I am not clear on is how you get the core to look at different BIOS files in order to emulate the STE or Falcon, but I haven't tried that yet.

@Electron there is a rotation screen parameter you can add to /boot/config.txt, but it adds some extra processing to the GPU and had a performance impact. Try it out and see how it works.

@yogsodoth interesting that it didn't work, I've never had a problem with Win32DiskImager yet. But it's good to know if I run across a similar issue I can always try out etcher.

@mitu your frequency of helping people never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for all the time you put into helping all of us.

@blackholebomb
I had to add usbhid.quirks=0xf000:0x0008:0x100000 to /boot/cmdline.txt and then reboot to get the missing buttons working.

thank you for all of the info i will try that out

@Parabolaralus said in Select button does not work in links awakening gameboy color:

backlog/freetime/moneys do not get along.

Monkeys always win.

@mitu So when I got home I took the microSD card that was in the raspberry pi zero W that I think is faulty. And just moved it over to the new raspberry pie zero w that arrived in the mail today. And it seems to be working a lot better. It booted up just fine to EmulationStation and I’m not getting any of the button issues that I was having when I had it in the Retroflag GPi case. It occasionally gave input configuration crashes too.

I tested only one Atari game on it and it seems to be working (where as before I could never keep it from crashing long enough to run a game). However I’ve only started transferring games over and havent tested any others. Either way it’s not freezing like it was just a few seconds after loading up emulation station. And it has yet to crash. Which means so far that’s a really good sign.

When I’m done transferring the files over, doing a scrape for the game images, and can actually spend some time playing games on it. I’ll be glad and certain of what the issue was. But based on all the trouble I was having and I’m using the exact same microSD card with everything that was installed before. So far I’m convined that I had a faulty raspberry pi zero W.

Mystic Mine is a Python game included in RetroPie. You can find it in the Experimental packages. I strongly recommend you to study how this game is programmed as it runs very well on the Raspberry Pi.

The scriptmodule that installs and configures this game in RetroPie is here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/mysticmine.sh

@mitu Thank you. I intend on trying those in the morning.

@Dwarfboysim said in sudo apt autoremove - is it safe for Retropie?:

Will I break anything? Is it recommended?

No, it will not break anything.

@sewart It's been a couple of months, did you ever get back to your build?

@mitu Ok, thanks. I'll do that when I get home later. Thank you for your time, truly appreciated.

@BuZz Thanks you are right. It was under Main and not optional packages. Many thanks!
