@mitu Ah, that would explain why it worked during my last install, but not now. Updating all the core packages at once seemed to ignore the fact that there was a newer version of ES and left me on 2.7.5, so I updated that individually, which put me on 2.7.6, and everything works like it used to now. Thanks for your help there! You've saved me tearing my hair out looking for something I would never would have found by myself! :)

@Earthboundfan15 Please add more info about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@moltke44 You can try any command you see fit, but the package will not work under Jessie - even if you get it installed.
As for the update to Stretch, the recommended method is to use a new image from scratch and transfer your configs/roms/etc. to the new image. It's possible - technically - to upgrade in place, but as you already found, it's not always optimal and you can end up re-imaging anyway.
Remember to backup your image before attempting the upgrade - with any method you choose.

@simongeoghegan
As long as you take a backup of the .srm you needn't worry about anything.
The network share is the easiest and it only shares user data folders for retropie like: roms bios and configs.

The folder will be displayed like a windows directory in explorer, the local network doesn't need any configuration, it could be either through a router or directly connected through the ethernet.

@Clyde thank you sir!

@pma7779 The configs folder is accessible through \\retropie\configs, just like the roms file share

@TomoS Emulationstation must be launched from the terminal, it's not going to work from an existing X.org/Desktop session. You'll also have to turn off/stop your login manager/display manager if you have one started.

@kingcraze Hi, first, post the details requested here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

How did you write the image? Is your card genuine?

@hansolo77 I think the retropie team is going to phase out any new binaries and updates for Jesse. The future is stretch. If your image on Jesse is running fine, there’s relly no reason to upgrade. But if you want the latest and greatest, it might be best to redo in stretch.

Thanks Mitu for link, seems they have MOVED custom setting number from 22 to 23.
Well know one of the tasks I will need to do over Christmas holidays, cfg file updates :/

@mitu ah, thank you! I had did searching myself but hadn't seen that thread. I'll check it out!

@ddoherty958 Is this a question or an observation ?

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi

there is a base version of windows for pi

@mitu said in Modify Power Button Behaviour to 'Hold for three seconds'??:

You can increase the bouncetime from 2sec to something larger.

Even as it is now, just a single quick push will shut the software down - i dont have to hold the button at all.

Perhaps I need to use a different script that relies on the button being held.

I used the automatic way of doing it by just making the retropie-mount folder in the root of the drive and plugging it in to the pi and just let it do its thing.

Thanks.

This is the solution of the problem:

Step 1

Launch any game

If the game starts automatically then everything is OK, otherwise one of these 2 conditions may occur:

1. Black screen

2.
2a. Atari logo and "Copyright 19 Atari" text
2b. Crash screen: "!!! The Atari computer has crashed !!!" and a series of options

If condition 1 occurs, you must do this:
a. Press F5 if you have the keyboard inserted, or X button on the joypad
The system will perform a "warm reset" and at this point you will arrive at condition 2.

Step 2

If you have the keyboard connected: press ALT + C, If you only have the joypad (not recommended, because many games require the keyboard), click A with the joypad on "Menu" and in the next menu click A with the joypad on "Cartridge Managment" Select "Cartridge: none" and press the enter key (or A with the joypad) (there may already be the name of the rom instead of "none", but it does not matter)
Now you should see the directory (atari800) with all the roms, and the rom you have chosen in the emulation station menu already selected Press the enter key (or A with the jpypad) on that same rom
*
A new menu will open: "Select Cartridge Type" Select "Standard XX KB Cartridge" (where XX may vary with 8, 16, 32 or 64 depending on the selected rom) and press the enter key (or A with the joypad) Then you will return to the menu: "Cartridge Management", press ESC and again ESC (or X and again X with the joypad)

The game will be launched!

* it may happen that the menu: "Select Cartridge Type" does not appear. No fear, just press ESC and again ESC (or X and again X with the jpypad) to launch the game.

@Kalamabrew My guess is that you don't have proper/accelerated OpenGL support in your installation. Scanlines (a.k.a. Shaders) don't work unless you're using the gl video driver, the fact that you're not seeing them seems to indicate your video driver is not gl.
Can you run a Libretro emulator with verbose logging enabled - using the Runcommand launch menu, then get the log RetroArch log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) and put it on pastebin.com to take a look ? Do the same for the RetroArch configuration file (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg).
