So my problem was fixed... I had to set a hotkey up to open retro arch and configure the controller while a n64 rom is running... that fixed my issue .

@adams Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

You can find such [number of games]-in-one cabinets even on "respectable" (cough) platforms like Ebay and Amazon, whereas I seriously doubt that the seller acquired all of the neccessary [number of games] licenses for distribution.

Awesome. Thank you very much

After building three bartop arcades I wanted something different and unique.

You certainly did that. Respect!

@mitu said in Retropie_Setup errors after failed update:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

Great tip: it worked !
Currently updating all installed cores.

Thank you so much !

@shift

They are indeed.

@mediamogul said in How to use multiple emulators with same system:

It could just be an issue with your timing in activating the Runcommand menu. Once images are added, the timing changes a bit. The menu can't be accessed while an image is up, but it can be within a few seconds after the image disappears. It's a known issue and mentioned in the docs.

Ahh! That's exactly it! Thanks!!!!

@jcode said in Software dev questions.:

All of my questions are dependable on what type of software i wrote?

If it's software that includes links to roms or downloaders for them we obviously don't condone it because it will do nothing but damage the project and earn you a nice ban. But there are plenty of web/theme managers scattered throughout the forum so if it's similar to those I don't see an issue with sharing it with the community

No...the software does not contain any illegal stuff. I would never do anything to hurt RetroPie and it´s community.

Thanks for your answer.

Modified in Github.
Thanks ;)

@mitu sorry about the late response. So excited as it's building right now so thank you for the update and @BuZz for the fix!

@Tackskull I know this is an old topic, but I've just installed a new Retropie setup on new hardware on Ubuntu 22.04 and had this exact problem which I've never had before. It was driving me mad, but your solution instantly fixed the issue.

@spyork i have encarta running in windows 3.1 in dosbox on the pi. I believe it is the “designed for wondows 95” version

@barbudreadmon said in Delete this, please.:

A few years ago, someone made a faithful recreation of metroid 2 with 16-bits graphic... nintendo forced the author to delete it... i think the main issue is copyrighted characters.

That was definitely the reason. The same scenario has occurred quite a few times over the years, involving many different companies. I love a really good fan recreation, such as AirWalk Studio's 'Fix-it Felix Jr.' for example. However, the unpleasant fact remains that, even if they don't use the original code or assets, they're still infringing on trademarked characters and as a result are very much illegal. I've always seen the linking the Game&Watch recreations as being a big liability for RetroArch, but I suppose the gamble is that Nintendo won't bother to protect infringements related to the LCD titles.

One particular project that I hated to see shut down was an HD fan recreation of 'Mortal Kombat Trilogy' for MUGEN. Especially since Midway's own HD remake of the first three games was scrapped as well. It's off topic, but worth sharing Midway's leaked photos, as they're pretty impressive. They had actually completed filming most, if not all of the characters before pulling the plug.

ok thanks, fool me i already known that video but i overlooked the save states parts!!

Hey thanks guys this really works with lr-vice!

I can map several keys to my retropad (I use a PS3 sisaxis), including the joystick swap and the virtual keyboard. I mapped Y,N,1,2,return,space,F!. Here is my configuration as an example (in the retroarch options menu):

show mapping options: on
hotkey toggle virtual: keyboard retrok_f11
hotkey switch joyports: retrok_rshift
retropad select: toggle vkbd
retropad start: retrok_rshift
retropad b: --- (=fire)
retropad a: retrok_return
retropad y: retrok_space
retropad x: retrok_f1
retropad L: retrok_1
retropad R: retrok_y
retropad L2: retrok_2
retropad R2: retrok_n

Also, if you have trouble inputting some letters in text-based games (like A or S), you must chose "physical keyboard pass-through: on" and everything will be OK.
