@mitu said in Turning the screen off (again) and screensaver problems.:

You can log off the console user (the one on the tty1) and the auto-login will kick in and start EmulationStation again. An ugly workaround, to say the least.

I'd preffer not to do that, I was trying out some chatgpt suggestions and instead of logging in and starting ES, I was met with log-in screen for virtual terminal 0, and tty1 wasn't starting at all.
I had to "sudo apt remove --purge kmscon" to make it work again (after hour or two of debugging, I already wanted to reinstall everything) It seems that kmscon was hijacking the getty (I never heard of getty nor kmscon before so it was like an actual study doing it)

... well, I asked chatgpt about the "starting as NOT superuser problem", I tried out the first suggestion it gave and it actually works first try!

su - pi -c "setsid emulationstation < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1 &"

I actually understand the linux stuff more now as this needs both "< /dev/tty1" and "> /dev tty1" (it didn't occur to me that you can do both!). It also needs setsid before running, it needs that weird "2>&1" in the end ... that's allegedly also doing something... ok... as long as it works! :D

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it a lot!

Hi,

I have the following usb devices connected
usb to 3.5mm jack converter
keyboard, mouse
xbox one controller

Though I've attempted the install without the xbox controller connected; with it connected, it appears to occupy /dev/input/js0, shifting the controlblock to js1+js2.

Kind regards

There was already a bug report - https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13416. Furthermore, the Libretro port is not maintained by the Dolphin team, so your report will probably be closed/forwarded to the libretro repository.

It was possible to configure my controller with the instructions from this topic:

@shift

Thanks, good to hear.
I am playing with it a bit and I could add it for more drivers this way from EXTRAS.
I will see how it evolves.

Hi,

You are right, dolphin works with OpenGL! I guess I did something wrong in my first test.

Dolphinbar work too and I didn't need to configure any rules for wiiremotes.

Thanks

@i2047 so i had the same problem, but fixed it. the way i fixed it was instead of doing the lite version of RPI OS i did the desktop version and it worked.

@Daistaar Not really. My inspiration is the Small Mac Project. I want to be able to output video throught a small 3d printed version of a Mac Classic and output at the same time on my TV.

The archive site doesn't automatically archives everything, though undoubtedly somewhere there's a backup of the Citra source code and probably also of their dependencies.
