@Lolonois

Okay. See that's where my lack of knowledge becomes difficult/dangerous. I was hoping that the GPIO logic would be able to simply read the difference between two pins being (shorted?) or not and code would have been able to just assign parameters to what to control in each circumstance without all the extra circuitry.

Hmmm.

Thank You!

@sleve_mcdichael ah I'm an idiot. I forgot to run the game before running the cat command. Will be back!

@sleve_mcdichael I see, I did not know that. I have not messed with Attract Mode before but I was told I would really like it as I am wanting a easy front end for when friends play my arcade cabinet.

@gold64 Works for me in caps, but have edited anyway for extra safety, ta.

@retro777
one things,, new report

my emulator.cfg is here

ikemen-go-nightly = "XINIT:/opt/retropie/supplementary/ikemen-go-nightly/ikemen-go.sh %ROM%"
ikemen-go = "XINIT:/opt/retropie/supplementary/ikemen-go/ikemen-go.sh %ROM%"
default = "ikemen-go-nightly"

and, run .mgn on emulation station,display this.

"No config found for system mugen"

Which place do i check and fix??

es_systems.cfg here

<system>
<name>mugen</name>
<fullname>M.U.G.E.N</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mugen</path>
<extension>.mgn</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 PORT mugen %ROM%</command>

</system>

@Nicxiv Now I can play Buck Rogers Planet Of Zoom. Thanks!

@mitu That's more a typo than a full-on spelling error, though.

This is still somewhat confusing as it has you editing files that may not even exist and aren't accessible by the default samba shares. Also, leaving out that chmod step was very bad. I may need to write my own better guide if nobody else has made a simple one.

Anyway, I did this over ssh to make es_systems.cfg accessible so I could open it in Notepad++ on Windows

sudo cp /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/

I also had to do

sudo chmod -R 0777 /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

in order to allow me to edit it. This is not easy stuff for dum-dums. It needs a script really. People who just want to play Pico-8 games cannot understand all this arcane wizardry.

Also had to switch to using pico8_dyn

I shouldn't have to choose between running the pico8 cartridge directly versus running splore. I should be able to do either one, anytime. How do I fix this?

(later edit) More recent guide here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/30736/how-to-install-pico-8-on-a-raspberry-pi-3-or-4-for-dummies-2021-version?_=1627524066426

@DUBlajes

This is the way i used to get it to work. Maybe you can get it working as well. I must warn you that this is a long time ago since i last tried Brutal Doom with Zdoom on my RetroPie.

Go to opt/retropie/configs/ports folder and create a new folder called brutaldoom.
Copy the emulators.cfg file and the zdoom.ini file from the doom folder in the opt/retropie/configs/doom to the brutaldoom config folder. (Notice this might need sudo command in terminal)

Paste this into the new zdoom.ini file in the brutaldoom config folder so that it will replace the original text.

Sorry for the long post. Hope this helps. :-)

@Kaydenmario8 Depending on the emulator, some use 480p by default and you can't change it I think. There are two different resolution, one for render and one for output.

@dankcushions said in RetroArch Mirror Mode:

is an ES issue? presumably once you've loaded the game, it's now a game issue. there doesn't seem much point in fixing it in ES if there's no a solution for the games as well. never mind if you load the command prompt/retropie-setup menu...

With HDMI, you can flip the screen horizontally (and I think vertically), to give an image of everything that will look the right-way around when viewed in a mirror.

With component/SCART output suitable for a CRT TV, you can use a RetroArch shader to get the image flipped and rotated so it works perfectly in a mirror too (see this forum post). This is good, but obviously, all the menus, the screensaver (easier to fix) and general RetroPie/ES menus are the wrong way around. It would be very nice to find a fix for that last piece of the puzzle.

Hi.
I followed this tutorial's steps and managed to get my BT speaker working.
The problem was that after reboot, the speaker failed to connect.
After searching the web for a while, I ran across this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/334386/how-to-set-up-automatic-connection-of-bluetooth-headset
Please see the proposed solution.
Best regards, Luís

@luckyluca said in Why separate Neo Geo system from Arcade?:

When making a copy of the core options to neogeo-core-options.cfg and changing to AES as suggested, should I also copy and add all fbneo core lines (there are plenty including lots of per-game dipswitches, one for each game executed)?

It's been a while when configuring it, I had just copied the entire file and made it act like an independent emulator. I actually don't know if RetroPie or fbneo will look for in "/opt/retropie/configs/fba/" first, if you load up a game from Neo Geo systems folder. If that is the case, then you can only include the differences you want to have in "/opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/neogeo-core-options.cfg" . If RetroPie requires you to have two different files, then you are probably out of luck.
Or you can try to use the "include" statement on top of the neogeo-core-options.cfg to point to the file from fba. But I don't know if this works.

As a sidenote, when looking through my old Raspberry Pi 3 installation backups, I don't see any neogeo-core-options.cfg files anymore, but retroarch-core-options.cfg. Not sure if the tutorial is outdated. Sorry for the late reply and I hope you get it working.

Also, would it be problematic using a rom not ending with h in AES neogeo mode?

Not at all. This was just my personal decision to use these specific versions of the ROMs. Although I couldn't spot any differences tbh
