I just downloaded and mounted the stock RPI3 image (md5: eb62ee88bf890e6d9ac9164bcb3e4a23); I can see /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so, and the associated /opt/retropie/configs/psx/emulators.cfghas this library set correctly. You are mistaken about having the stock 4.5.1 image installed. The most likely explanation for what you're seeing is that you had version 4.4 or earlier installed, and then manually updated lr-pcsx-rearmed from binary some time between March and today, but your script was not updated with the fix I mentioned from March, and thus installed the module incorrectly. This is user error, so nothing requires fixing. My advice stands, and if you still insist that you made a fresh install of 4.5.1, then you should ensure that you haven't downloaded a counterfeit/3rd party image whose version was mislabeled. Always download from the official site only, and verify the checksum after download.

@MaMikee Use runcommand configuration and change Launch menu to disabled. I also disable Launch menu art and disable Launch menu Joystick control. It should just boot cleanly into your game from emulationstation.

@mitu I'm using 4.4. I have not reset config from the retroarch gui. Controls work fine in the retroarch menu as well. This problem has had me stumped for awhile.

@mitu no because LEDSpicer is linear, he need a matrix, I have another project called LCDSpicer (LOL?) that may work, but long time I don't touching that code and I don't remember where I left that project.

@obliv Please add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. How are you trying to open the launch options ?

Will P4 64x32 panels work as well? I only have a space 23x5.5 and the P4's would be a better fit. This looks like a great application!

@mitu Of cours, but then you mess up your rom set. On the other hand some systems or naming conventions use rom sets which have names which are not unique. (I don't find one at the moment, but i saw such discs) e.g. "<Game>.cue" "Track1.bin" "Track2.bin"

@mitu Oh, ok. Thanks. I thought the emulators.cfg just covered the emulator/core used generally for that particular system, and didn't deal with individual roms.

It worked, Thankyou

I didn't search for "dialog box" because I thought that was called the "launch menu."

@Texacate Finally had an opportunity to look at your code. Looks good. For myself, I just need static images as I showed in my video. So I think what I need to do is the following: 1 - Create XML file with gaming information. I would convert the work you have done and convert to XML. Do not have to do this, but would like to practice manipulating XML files. 2- Will also add to this what recommended controller to use. Joystick, spinner, trackball or lightgun. 3- If Joystick, what type (2-way, 4-way, etc.): 4- A note added stating if certain controller is not available, which one to use. This would be static on every image file. 5- When building the image, have the user select which button layout they want to use(6 button, 8 button, etc.) I am going to program this in Windows for now, but use ImageMagic to create the image to eventually port over to the Pi. Basically would program similar to what you have (if it is ok to reference your code) and just create the images, but add the additional data. Once the static image is create, will re-visit my code to have it come up before the game starts. Also thinking about just creating the image and putting the snapshots in the Screenshots or Covers folder. I have downloaded video snapshots and marquees, so the gamelist.xml file would already have a path to get the Screenshots or Covers and can just place the image on the theme instead. Would be less programming and just create the images. In any case, will start on this over the weekend. Hopefully will have something functional by the end of the weekend.

@mitu I actually figured it out late last night. As I was trying every game file I thought that there had to be something wrong with how the images were being called up. I looked again at both my es_systems.cfg & emulators.cfg and realized that I had it pointing to pcengine not pcenginecd. I must have looked at those ten times without realizing my mistake. I knew I was doing something stupid. I guess I really should have stepped away from it for a bit.

Just add the full path to the script in the .sh file and make sure it's executable.

@John_RM_70 Try one command at a time and see which ones locks up the Pi. It's probably tvservice, but it could be because of the previous command, which specifies might specify an invalid mode. Have you tried tvservice -p (preferred mode) ?

@Kaydenmario8 Depending on the emulator, some use 480p by default and you can't change it I think. There are two different resolution, one for render and one for output.

@Brigane Actually they didn't stop - there was an update in August (see this topic). There's hope that one day it might be open sourced.

@BuZz thanks man!

@mitu Thanks! I was about ready to download a fresh image just to see if onstart would be there

@mitu Thanks for that. It worked perfectly. It is actually great news that the boxart splash screen is a separate location and separate file. It means I can create a specific "help" splash screen with the boxart and button mappings so that when I start a game it reminds me how to play the game.
