@folly Excellent menu frontend and a great idea. A few year ago I was playing with my pi 3, trying to get CDi to work through lr-mess. Although I managed to make it work, it was hard enough for me to not try it again with other systems. Your work is great. I've installed your frontend a few days ago on my pi4 and it seems that it works very well. I already installed cdimono1 but due to defective bios or roms (probably both), couldn't pass the "initializing" screen. Anyway the emulator works. I also got sometimes the error message that was reported by @jimmyfromthebay. It seems to happen in any of the menus, except the Handhelds menu, sporadically and with no pattern. After reboot it usually works fine. Thank you again for the great work.

Great to hear that there are more people using it now.
I hope I will find the issue in the front-end.

@bluestang this should be resolved now. thanks.

Thanks, it is now working on my end.

Thanks alot your amazing! it worked with the $1 replacing the $system!

Almost all updated overnight. I still seem to be having problems with MAME and MESS updating. Is this an upstream thing I should leave and come back to later?

@mitu i dont think its a dependency. it is something that the guys who made OpenMW, built to help with the running the game

this is what quicksliver said about in on the forum page about installing OpenMW

Also a couple notes about running OpenMW on the raspberry pi. You cant use open scene graph from the apt repository, it has to be manually compiled against OpenGL NOT OpenGL ES otherwise the game will not run. OpenMW devs recommend using their fork of OSG for better performance though that is not strictly necessary (I used their fork and it works great https://github.com/OpenMW/osg). The following cmake arguments can be used to prevent building unneeded OSG plugins and prevent bloat

@retro81 Actually I may make it ask the user to update from RetroPie-Setup, to keep updating handled in one place.

Have a safe and prosperous New Year!

Glad you sorted it out and thank you for the nice words - Happy New Year to you too !

@mitu ok i try to put it before emulationstation runs, basically the script erase an empty file that i use with an if conditional, i make an option that let me pause the music, if i activate it, the if creates an objects and while the file exists the music stop playing and if i push again the if erase the file and the music continues. i want that the raspberry erase that file if we have music paused so the music start on the startup and i can activate pause again in the menus.

it was too good to be true :( i was right it doesn't work https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/11590#issuecomment-743402918

Cpasjuste created this issue in libretro/RetroArch closed (KMS/DRM) add support for custom hdmi_timings / modes #11590

@john1967 please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

booting to emulationstation is default behaviour for the official image, however here is how to configure it for a manual installation: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi

@mitu
Thanks, works well!

You're welcome.

On more thing: As a courtesy for other user here, please add [Solved] or similar to the topic of your original post.

Just for the record, this command removes write permissions from the file:

sudo chmod -w /boot/config.txt

Restore them only for the owner (the default) with u+w instead of -w.

But note that any script that runs with admin rights can change the file nonetheless.

edit: Ah, I noticed the logical flaw in this. The file is owned by the admin user root and it is already only editable by the owner. So removing w wouldn't make any difference in this case. 😇

Works like a charm

Thanks.

@mitu
Ah, got it. I thought my method might be out of date but I'm new to digging this deep, and it's a frustrating but fun learning process. Thank you a ton for the help, I'll check that out once I get the chance today.

@norbit911 Why do it backwards ? You can start the Desktop from EmulationStation, so leave EmulationStation running by default. If you wish to run the desktop also when exiting EmulationStation, modify the autostart.sh file and run the desktop startup command after the emulationstation line.
