@JimmyFromTheBay said in What does this error mean? (lr-mess):

If I can run them both at the same time that'd be great, but if not then it's not worth the hassle and risk.

Technically it's possible but I think, for you, it's indeed not worth the hassle and the risk.

@Retro-Arcade-Fan

Your welcome.
Nice to hear it's working now.

@ChaosEffect said in Tips for RetroArch 1.10.0:

@mitu I am not sure how often RetroPie's RetroArch will sync with upstream RetroArch. This is more of a typo correction than a new feature, but it makes the lightgun input operate as intended.

Thanks for the heads up. We don't update too often and we base the update on RetroArch's point releases, I guess it's one more reason to consider the next release for inclusion :).

could somebody help me with this example runcommand-onstart.sh script from the xboxdrv guide for retropie?

for the following example script, i want to try using xboxdrv just for a certain rom, and if that rom doesn't match i don't want to launch/use xboxdrv. ex. in the fba) section below, what if i wanted to use xboxdrv if there is a match for one of the $rom cases, but do nothing if not? would i just delete these lines?:

found some clues from this forum:

Do you have any saves created? If not, use the second option to set a name for the first save space, then use the first option and the game should prompt you accordingly. Third option deletes saves in case that might be related to the issue.

Edit: I've found that TAB is the inventory and I can equip weapons to Player 1

turns out the BIOS files i was using weren't quite right; it's important to check the CRC32 against what is listed on the lr-x1 page i linked to.

to do this on raspberry pi, you just type this:

crc32 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/xmil/IPLROM.X1

once i used BIOS files that matched the CRC32 the games i mentioned load fine - the emulator gets past the DISK MENU prompt and takes to a menu where you can select a game (seems you need a keyboard to make the selection, though).

anyone know of a way to convert sharp x1 .tap files to a format that lr-x1 can load? this seems to be a pretty obscure question.
