@teller You could try to adapt the script_play commands from here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19844/advmess-for-dummies-a-basic-guide/61 so that the game(s) start automatically. I haven't tried it for the Jupiter Ace though.

Hi Mitu,
Sorry about not posting that information, must've missed that post. I started collecting the data, but while I was running through it I decided to run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils

After that my save states worked normally even with auto-login enabled. When I originally updated the device was when the save states stopped working, but I guess now that has been figured out :)

I got this to work..its weird...I set it at dinput, and x/y and the thing just mapped (now the stick is mapped to Y-1, X-0)

@mitu It was just an issue with size! after using the cdmi it worked! Thank you so much!

For what it's worth, I got a 5.2v 2.5a power supply. I had no reason to believe it would make a difference; but I've seen much stupider things fix dumb things.

Of course, the cursor still pops.

@Steaz you'll need to choose the gliden64 plugin from the runcommand menu. Although on the pi gliden64 will crash your pi after about 10-20mins :/ cross your fingers the next pi has a better GPU.

@RetroFreak89 One way to make sure that the extra space really doesn't contain any data is to shrink the second partition on the original sd card by 1 GB. But since this partition contains a Linux file system, you need a Linux partitioner like GParted for that (or a Windows partitioner that can shrink Linux partitions with the file system ext4 on them, if such a tool exists).

If you're not using Linux anyway, you could use the GParted Live image that boots from a CD or a USB medium into a graphical Linux system with GParted pre-installed.

After shrinking the second partition on your card, you would make a new image that has guaranteed no data in its last 1 GB and should be safe to write to your new card. After confirming that the new card works and has all the data on it, you could then grow its second partition with GParted to the maximum size of the new card.

@arif Please don't post links to dodgy Kodi add-ons, it's agains the forum rules. For any detailed Kodi usage, as @rbaker said, use the Kodi forum. Thank you.

Sorry, I actually forgot I posted that, my bad!

@Clyde yeah it worked without the remove command. ty :)

@JToivonen got what you mean and here is the "un modified" solution...simply if you're playing plug the usb controller and when you finish just unplug it and it will shutdown automatically!, even when a power trigger happens "electricity went off then come back again" and found that your gamepad isn't connected it will shut down :)
here is the python file you just need to edit the line that kills qjoypad to kill whole system add poweroff or shutdown -h as you use in your momentry switch
don't forget to make the file run at start and special thanks to pablo

idea behind the script is that system creates a js0 file for controller 1 inputs and js1 for controller 2 when connected and so on, the script searches for that file if it's found that mean you've connected the gamepad and probably playing a game and when you finish unplugging the gamepad removes js0 file and when the script discovers the file is not found it kills an app process called qjoypad which you'll change to shutdown

please note you're not gonna use //User Variables section in this code so just ignore it.

i dont get it, still dosent work, its only a little bit dark on display when i set the overlay..

//EDIT: im an idiot. overlay was in 2560 x 1440 and not 1920x1080..it works now lol

Wow I have bad luck, entered all the code correctly from this video “

while yes the display turns on my monitor still displays RetroPie instead of the lcd. How do I fix this?

Thanks

@Dtje
So how did it go? Is it going any way?

You probably changed some permissions for the file/folder containing it. Don't delete folders nilly/willy, this will probably cause other errors.
Check the permissions for the /opt/retropie/configs/all/ folder and make sure the pi user can write to that folder. Easiest would be to re-install the RetroArch package, this will apply the correct permissions on the config files.

@h2805270 said in White Noise on the home menu:

"program ES to add a new option to the menu", I know how to edit the es_systems.cfg to add kodi to the main menu

No, that's not it. When I'm thinking of the 'Emulationstation menu', I'm thinking of the menu shown when you press Start on your controller and that's basically programming. However that not be what you're after - maybe you just need a simple script to start a command an an entry in Emulationstation that you can just press to start that command.
