@mitu Holy WOW! Issue was using 4.8 vs 4.7.1. Also needed to update the config.txt file... Immensely appreciate the link to the to the correct OS and config files!!! Got it working for HDMI, now trying CRT... (CRT is not working but need to figure out how to change the config file to allow HDMI to DVI adapter...)

@mitu YOU ROCK!!! Thank you

@zoura said in UI messed up after full storage:

@sleve_mcdichael That helped a bit, still very basic names and apperantly no photos for the RetroPie items, but thanks!

Try reinstalling "retropiemenu" from the setup utility under manage packages > core packages.

@sleve_mcdichael i did believe you i just wanted to know other opinions if anybody else could find another way of fixing it without having to start a new image, since theres no way other way around im giving up on this, thank you guys for the help!

@fretman yeah anything will do just to get the bluetooth ones sorted. These are all things you'll learn as progress as a Raspberry Pier

@kacpergards said in PiTFT 3.5" Rpi4 and Retropie not working.:

As of now I have flashed the latest Retropie, which works on my HDMI display, done the adafruit easy installation steps, which works. But instead of emulationstation running, I get the error message "failed to add service - already in use".

Hm, let me guess - the installer removed the KMS overlay from config.txt and now there's no GPU driver for the Pi. Post your config.txt.

@mitu Everything that is mapped to my controller works if Game Focus is turned off. Problem is now with 1.9.4. the keyboard doesn't work until Game Focus is turned on. Once Game Focus is on, I loose all the mappings, I can't even open the Retroarch menu. What was the need for the change. Before this version, I never saw this happen.

It doesn't effect any games that do not use a keyboard until you get to Amiga, A800, AtariST and DOSbox-pure.

I don't know a way around this without plugging in a true USB keyboard that has a scroll-lock key. My BT unit doesn't have one. I opened the retroarch.cfg and tried to remap the Game Focus key to another key, but it keeps automatically reverting back to scroll-lock as the entry.

I've deleted Retroarch and reloaded it by source thinking maybe some file is still hanging around from a previous build, but it didn't change anything.

I'm not sure what else to do with this other than buy a new, portable BT keyboard that has a scroll-lock key on it.

Update....nevermind... I found this on reddit and see there is a way to reassign the on/off toggle. I set mine to page-up key. All good.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/kv06im/psa_just_a_reminder_that_toggling_game_focus/

Works fine. Now I can toggle it on and off and use both the hotkeys and keyboard as needed. Works great.

Thanks again.

Ok, thanks for all!!!!

Please provide more information as detailed in link.

@jamrom2 If you removed the brackets from the file names, then you have to remove the bracket from the script too. :

croppedfilename=${filename//Disk*.atr/}

You know, it's a quick and dirty script, written only to save time with the common format. If you change the format of your filenames, then you have to adapt the script to your format.

@wawa Assuming the core's source code is hosted on Github, all you'd need to is make a scriptmodule for it, test it to verify it works, and then submit a pull request to the RetroPie-Setup Github repo.

Thankfully, for libretro cores, there are tons of scriptmodules you can use as a reference to write your own; just take a peek in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/. Assuming you know how to write a .sh file that complies with this style guide (and know how to use Github's pull requests), you should be good to go!

@ReadyPlayaWon thanks!
I removed the other PPSSPP I had and installed the lr-PPSSPP package, the controls all worked out of the box!
Thank you again!

often youtube and other tutorials are wrong/outdated. please try starting again and following our official instructions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

@soldomino said in Questions about GPi:

I'm viewing the Pi using WinSCP, if that matters.

If you're using SSH to access your Pi, then you can look at/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists, it's basically the same folder.

Knowing that will help me whittle down what games I should put on there (SNES Doom, Star Fox, and really any Mode 7 stuff was lagging pretty bad)

I think that even with older/less accurate emulation, you won't be able to emulate SuperFX games full speed on a Pi 0.

@mitu said in RetroPie Setup no Longer Working After Failed Update.:

The error message is quite clear - have you tried running the commands recommended ?

I honestly didn't even notice that until after you pointed it out lmao. Thank you, it worked!

sorry ,me bad...thanks for your reply

@regi it's available from emulation station. Need more info

@retroven As recommended have a look at the docs, but here is a couple of quick answers

Most popular emulators are already installed and will show up automatically when you add roms. Optional emulators can be installed from retropie-setup if needed but for that you will need the docs Adding artwork is easiest using a scraper such as skyscraper https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper Not sure but probably. I haven't updated on my pi as it is all set up and working great

@mitu
Indeed you are right!
Thanks, solved now.
