The hotkey is defined in the RetroPie controller config. You can then customize the hotkeys in RetroArch.

Or I believe you can set up "shift key" behavior in the I-PAC config to do the same thing.

If you still want separate buttons that's fine, was just a personal preference to have my controls be minimal.

I haven't installed any leaf buttons/sticks myself, I guess you can check the other forums here or google around for more info.

@filipinoy79 The installer checks if the Google's DNS IPs are routable from the Pi (8.8.8.8 for instance) and if that fails, it considers there is no internet available.
You can check with the command

ip -4 route get 8.8.8.8

What's the output of the above command in your case ?

Thank you for clarifying @BuZz

Answered my own question. So my workstation has 3 monitors and a TV, the pi had this issue with the TV and one of them monitors. Works absolutely fine on the other 2 monitors though, and the TV in my living room where this was going to go anyways works fine with it as well.

Anyone know why this issue is occurring?

OK will have a look, didn't even think of looking there, many thanks. I will crack on.

By accident I found out that a Chrome OS computer is actually better than Windows 10 for setting up a Pi because it can read Linux filesystems, meaning I have access to both the boot and rootfs partitions. I also found a few remarkable Android apps for SSH and VNC. I did, however, need a Windows device for setup...

I see, i guess this is a recent change, since i installed it about a month or two ago in the same machine and it worked fine. Thanks!
i will do the change.
Also sorry for duplicating the topic, i didn't find this before searching, i guess i searched for different parts.

it worked btw. i'm sure you knew that, but wanted to confirm i did it :D how do i mark this as solved?

If editing files around is not something you're familiar, then my suggestion is to find a system with a bit more performance and has the righ GPU. Even if you'd manage to get EmulationStation working, other programs/emulators might have similar requirements and you'd be struggling to make it work.

I installed almost all packages for Retro Pie in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS onnRaspberry Pi 4 but couldn't get lib-raspberrypi-dev
It's for mad/intel 64 bit PC's

@Darksavior Nevermind, I found it. That worked perfectly. I'm getting the quarter of a screen problem too, but that can be fixed. Gotta admit, I think I probably enjoy setting up the RetroPie more than playing the games.

compiling without GUI , and in single thread, suceeded.

This tutorial worked for me : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch

On the Big List Of Things I Don't Want To Do, typing stuff like this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get -y autoclean

...is really, really high up.

(I mean, I don't even know WHERE I'm supposed to type that. I manage my Pi through the WinSCP interface and no command typing is ever required.)

You have to use PuTTY to type the commands.
Launch PuTTY, enter the raspberry ip and connect.
User: pi
Password: raspberry
From there you connect to the raspberry in ssh and can type the commands.
It takes a little time to update jessie at strech.

@Hanky42 said in Retropie and Libreelec:

Wouldn't KODI want media added to it's library?

yes?

you add files to the library over network without moving the actual files or you can just play them directly from the source.

personally i use mysql (alltho a bit slow) to avoid having to recreate the library and remember which movies i watched on all devices using kodi in my home.

if you want something easier, you can look up plex media center, but i belive a "dedicated" server is required for that, i am unsure if it will run both a player and a server on one raspberry.

@shaunus70 at a guess perhaps this?

Turns out it was the unit itself, I got a replacement and it worked right away.

Thanks for the report, we'll see how it can be fixed.
