      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

      @appas
      Ok, I needed to revert another change, which was to set GL Driver to "Legacy" with raspi-config. This gave me the message "GL Driver is disabled", or something like that. No wonder projectM was slow!

      @mitu Thanks...this just might work. I'll give it a go and let you know.

      I appreciate the support.

      This has been resolved and the answer is on this thread that I referenced earlier.

      SOLUTION:

      I brought this up in another thread, but that covers other issues, so for details that aren't here, you can check there.

      I solved this on the dhcp server (dnsmasq). Oddly enough, even though I was specifying to use 172.16.7.17, somehow it was being read as 172.16.7.174. I have no idea why, but that was in my reserved range of IP addresses to not give out, so the dhcp server was having issues with that and not giving it to the Pi.

      I changed and ended up using 172.16.7.11 instead of .17. After I changed to that, allowing time for propagation, it worked out.

      It is puzzling, since the dhcpcd logs on the Pi say they're being offered 172.16.7.17, but the server says it's .174 instead of .17. I have not tried to change back - I don't want to deal with that again. (I'm wondering if something was glitchy when the dhcp server wrote the config file to the drive.)

      @zefolhadela Nintendo 64 is hit and miss on a Pi 3. A proper power supply might help somewhat, but really picking the right emulators for each game will be the way forward if you want to increase performance.

      @nikosfx180 said in Help to run script before emulation station start:

      @mitu two people here are making machines and sell extra images on sd cards and the images are free on the internet.

      it's not the first time scammers are using the forum for support.

      So ihave spend lot of time on my image to crate something good and i dont want to copy this people the image and sell it with cabinets and make money with my image.

      Selling RetroPie images is against the project's license. You're nothing but a scammer.

      @quicksilver I’ll try another SD card first, I have one that I was using to start an arcade cab build, but I haven’t really started yet, so not a big deal.

      I want to start emulationstation on-demand, this is what I've come up with:

      Emulationstation heavily depends on a terminal being allocated for it to work. It switches a lot between graphical and text-mode. So in "/etc/systemd/system/my-emulationstation.service":

      [Unit] Description=my emulationstation [Service] User=pi ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/run-emulationstation Type=simple StandardInput=tty-force TTYVHangup=yes TTYPath=/dev/tty20 TTYReset=yes

      Also, there's a bug that requires emulationstation to be started inside /home/pi, so in "/usr/local/bin/run-emulationstation":

      #! /bin/bash # switch to same tty allocated in .service chvt 20 # cd to home cd /home/pi # run emulationstation in foreground process /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh

      And for the curious: I want it to start when specific hardware is attached, specifically an 8Bitdo Zero Bluetooth Gamepad. So in "/etc/udev/rules.d/50-my-emulationstation.rules":

      ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTR{name}=="8Bitdo Zero GamePad", TAG+="systemd", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="my-emulationstation"

      Yes, it will exactly do what you have written.

      Hey all
      i managed to come right and thought i would share my findings

      in this situation the device needs a n on off toggle switch
      i used an on off switch on the power block pins and was able to boot and turn the device off.
      the installation and instructions on the site work perfectly.

      thanks again

      @shanet94 unfortunately I'm a little dim when it comes to these types of things. I'd love to be able to help but I feel at this point a chocolate tea pot would be more help :) thanks again for your help.
