Any idea where I might have gone wrong? 😅

Did you delete any configuration file(s) hoping you'll 'reset' the mapping ?

Sounds like you've deleted es_input.cfg from EmulationStation's configuration folder, in which case follow the steps in the docs to reset your inputs and re-configure your gamepad once again.

@thinlysliceddan said in SNES Mouse Sensitivity too fast!:

Is there anything else you you can think of trying?

I tried to find a method to control the mouse acceleration without a desktop env, but didn't find one. All methods (on Linux) to control the sensitivity use either xset or xinput to control it, but they only work under Xorg/a desktop environment.
Other than installing the desktop and trying to run the game from there, I don't have other ideas.

I never had issues with snes games with Rpi3 or Rpi4. I always had 60fps with the default settings and resolution 720p. N64 is another story, even with RPi5, emulation have issues with some games.

Also worth mentioning are the available SA-1 optimization patches.

Super Metroid should soon follow with an expected 2023 release.

So most likely the USB hub is disconnecting at some point and EmulationStation crashes during that moment. Can you try and get a separately powered USB HUB ? Or perhaps a newer PC, since the one you have is more than 10 years old ?

I had more than 500+ attempts with Piston Hurricane on the Pi 4 and somehow could not figure out what all I was doing wrong.

Fired up your suggested Bizhawk tonight.

Landed this money shot on only my second attempt.

Tied for world record!

Next, I'm coming after you Bear Hugger. :D

Thanks again for the help through this, Mitu.

@TheBR said in SNES Games not saving within game:

This is almost certainly why there was no save, i assumed it would save after every level, my bad.

You didn't expect it to be that easy, eh :) ?

@mitu I figured that was the case. Thanks for the response!

There's no 'autodiscovery' process running before or outside EmulationStation. The gamelists are written by EmulationStation when stopping/restarting (by default, but you can choose in the option to write it immediately). The location of the gamelists for most of your system (in the games' folder) indicates you either ran a scraper outside of EmulationStation or you copied the games folders from another system (including the system's gamelist.xml). That shouldn't be a problem though.

Did you restart EmulationStation after adding the kidgame tags and before turning on 'kidmode' ? I'm wondering if there isn't any bug that when turning on kid mode doesn't save the metadata on exit (because of the kidmode being selected).
Did you modify the options for metadata saving/reading in EmulationStation ?

@Sysmatic Apologies, it was the wrong file. I've edited my post.

@mitu sorry I’m not sure, I switched to bsnes core for K Griffey in the launch menu and that’s when the issue started. I assumed that if KGJr didn’t launch, it wasn’t compatible with the core so I switched back to SNES9X. However I decided to re-image retropie, everything is working now, including KGJr in bsnes (MLB season now works). This was after I removed and reinstalled the core packages to no avail.
