@mitu ... oh! of course... I honestly thought I was typing that into the LR/RA forum ... senior moment I suppose. I even went looking for replies and couldn't even find my OP.

I remove lr-mupen64plus-next and lr-ppsspp from retroarch setup.
I install it again and it works ! I can go into the rgui menu (strange thing i mapped hotkey on the xbox button and i can with select + Y !!! (but i can !).
With another emulator (lr-beetle-psx, i can quit a game with select + start.
Not from fresh install emulator. Have i something to parameter in rgui menu

Regards.

@cyberBoy90 I don't know. I happened upon it by chance and it looked cool, so I saved the Github page. The 'Readme.md' in my link does state "Emulationstation Theme (AVAILABLE IN RETROPIE THEME LIST !)", so I'd wager it probably is.

EDIT: I just checked and it is in there. There are also a couple more that mention stuff like 'pixel' or '240p' or what have you in their titles, so those might be worth checking out as well. There are a few minimal themes out there with no metadata or art, so maybe you'll find something to your liking.

@Ashpool said in rgui - load/save state option missing:

May I ask(/wonder) why update_packages_gui_setup() calls updatescript_setup(), but basic_install_setup() ain't doing that?

Not sure I fully understand.
Basic setup is meant for a new installation, which assumes you are doing a manual installation. This means you just cloned the RetroPie repository, so there's no need to update again the script.

@Floob @dankcushions Thank you. I just had som eoveride of menu_driver in the retroarch.cfg from some systems folder so i still had rgui for some emulations. but know i have matched everything against the parent retroarch.cfg menu_driver and it works.

@mitu as general feedback.....

On my "new" VM40B retropie setup (Ubuntu 22.04-1) now also obtain this issue......... workaround also here to modify the controller cfg to obtain RGUI open whit HOTKEY+SELECT button instead using HOTKEY + Nord Button :)

@sirhenrythe5th Yes we can certainly see that with all the annoying “no retropie for raspberry pi 4 yet” posts that happened.

@mahoneyt944 actually some games in mame2003 support analog! eg afterburner, outun. but yes, to use analog in games that have native digital controls, you need to use the retroarch 'analog to digital' option (although i would instead recommend setting via the configuration editor as RGUI meddling can be dangerous).

but note that if you enable it globally for the lr-mame2003, you will lose analog controls in natively analog games (although that's only a handful).

@retropieuser555 Yes, that could work. It might be a little weird though. I'll have to give it a try.

@neurocrash said in Can't enter RGUI menu anywhere:

The result is that the hotkey that works for me is Hotkey-Y, which is the same as the Hotkey-North button. When using this combination, all of the devices can open the RGUI menu.

The North button is the X button, not the Y (yes, the XBox controller is backwards).

Without seeing a log file - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - or the actual configuration file, it's difficult to say what is wrong. The default configuration file installed by RetroPie should always work (retroarch.cfg.rp-dist).

Also, please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@benjaminjay said in accessing RGUI with keyboard:

@mitu could I simply start up a game from EmulationStation, open RGUI then close the game but leave RetroArch running and make the changes ?

No, because it would still save the configuration only for that particular system where the core was running.

@frgn said in Customization rgui menu style - is this possible?:

What method can be updated retroarch as safely as possible?

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/

@mitu for example

I am going to change the button layout for Alien Storm for the Sega Megadrive

I have started the game
Entered the RGUI menu
Go to controls
Set the buttons up accordingly
I click on save core remap file in the controls menu
I have the message "remap file saved successfully"
I resume the game
The buttons work perfectly
I exit the game back to the game selection menu
Restart the ROM
And it works perfectly.

I don't believe this. It has worked. The problem was I was saving using the "save core override" option when I should have been using the "save core remap file" in the controls screen.

Thank you so much for everything Mitu. No doubt I will encounter another problem where you can rescue me again. Thank you and have a nice day my friend.

@gizmo90 you could also put them in the arcade folder. The arcade folder let's you select from multiple different arcade emulators (libretro mame, advmame, fba etc) it's used for organizing if you have multiple romsets and you want to keep them all in the same place.

Well it seems to be working OK so I have no complaints. :-) Naturally, if you have a better way of doing this now we'd all love to see it! ;-)

Thanks for the help. :-)

@AndersHP it's only slower if the shader causes you to lose frames, but i would guess that the 10% of games that you're losing frames with the crt-pi shader now, it will be less than 10% with the zfast-crt shader.. maybe 0% :)

I set my video mode, for standard mupen64plus, here.

/opt/retropie/configs/n64

Open mupen64plus.cfg, scroll down to ...

[Video-General]

Fullscreen = True
ScreenWidth = 320
ScreenHeight = 240
VerticalSync = False
AspectRatio = True

That is what I use for 240p on a CRT. On a LCD, change the screen size to whatever you want it to be. This works for all N64 games.

Ahhh shoot. Thanks both.

Out of interest, is there any way to set the Logitech as the 'primary' controller - so that when I plug in the RetroFlag one the Logitech continues to be the one that can access the RGUI menu?

@playgamemy said in PSX configuration "save on exit" or "save configuration" not working:

Are there configuration file for retroarch that specify where configuration files should be saved?

RetroPie uses the 'stock' settings - ~/.config/retroarch for game overrides and control remaps. It's not advisable to save the settings directly since it will save them over the core's config file (see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#config-hierarchy). If you want to edit the 'global' RetroArch config file, then add your options to the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file.
