@ljpgulliver I also had the same problem did my head in till I grabbed a miniport cable and swapped it over from my old screen plasma to my reasonably modern tv. If you have another monitor maybe try it with that.

@turbine2 said in Unable to progress through configuration of gamepad1:

How can I skip the Button A / East (and other options I don't have)?

You can't. Some buttons are required, since they are used to launch games and/or navigate the EmulationStation front-end. A and B are such buttons and they cannot be skipped.

You can however map your keyboard to navigate EmulationStation as you'd like. Of course, you'll need to configure your gamepad manually in the emulators started, since it's not configured by EmulationStation.

@genge094 said in keep getting stuck on one part of running retropie set-up script on raspbian:

@sleve_mcdichael thanks! I was able to get it to download on the full desktop OS but it boots into a black screen. I guess I would have to start a new topic for that one though.

Can you describe what you exactly did ?

OK I solved the issue by using wmctrl instead of xdotool:

#!/bin/bash wine start /unix "/home/tar/Applications/flashpoint/FPSoftware/Flash/flashplayer_32_sa.exe" /home/tar/Retropie/roms/flash/FPAWorld1_07a.swf && antimicro --tray --profile /home/tar/RetroPie/fancypants.gamecontroller.amgp & sleep 2 && wmctrl -r 'Adobe Flash Player 32' -b toggle,fullscreen & sleep 2 && wmctrl -r 'Adobe Flash Player 32' -b add,above

@mitu Thanks for your help

Are you sure you downloaded the right image for your system ? The 'illegal instruction' error at the top makes me think you downloaded the image for a Rpi2/3 or Rpi4 board.

@azurden it’s trivial to acquire mame roms of a certain version, but we can’t assist as per the rules. do not try and find roms and then determine their version after the fact - hundreds of mame rom versions so it will almost certainly be wrong. find the version you need.

often youtube and other tutorials are wrong/outdated. please try starting again and following our official instructions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

I just encountered this same error today on a 2GB Pi4 with this card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0887GP791

Mine was when hitting the "Update RetroPie-Setup Script".

SAMSUNG: EVO Select 128GB MicroSDXC UHS-I U3 100MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME128HA)

Fresh installation, and only time this card has been used.

@quicksilver
So you can, "Ctrl+P"
It is also possible to specify the application to use, kitty superputty or cygwin.

I haven't tried terminus yet, it won't run on my computer.
I got to say. winscp is the best then.

@Efriim Doing this step by step only:

After finished there are some errors in libraries that made crash emulationstation but they are easy to solve. Once it runs very well including with overclocking. With this fan “Noctua Premium Fan, Brown, NF-A4X10-FLX 5V” I could overclock and no problems.

@mitu sorry wasn't sure what that meant.

Thanks anyway.

Going to do a full flash and reinstall from the official image

@andrew2010 Re-flash the image downloaded on the SD-card.

@helppls press start (or what ever you mapped to start) and select the option to remap your controller. If you cant figure that out, unplug your controller, and restart your pi. When it boots back up it will re-prompt you to configure your controller. Plug it back in and remap it.

@majere How are you checking the status ? A normal lsusb should list the USB adapter. If you run dmesg | tail immediately after plugging it in, you should see if it's detected, something like this should be printed:

If this is the product you're using, it should work without problems.

@rbair6600 Thanks for sharing your solution.

I downloaded it.
