thank you again.

@JL-2600 UPDATE: I ending up trying to update to 4.6 again, but this time it updated only RetroPie and nothing else. Everything seems to be working just fine this time!

When I originally tried the update a few days ago, it also updated the emulators, so perhaps it was one of those emulator updates that was causing the problem.

Thanks!

you know what i did. i just did a fresh install - retropie 4.6 image. thanks for all the info and help, but a fresh install isnt that hard, it takes a couple of hours and then everything is working fine. also, the time and effort needed to upgrade the whole lot with all side complications possible - and having to resolve them -, that would perhaps take longer than just simply imaging the whole sd card to a disk image (.img) then flash it with retropie 4.6 and then mount the .img and return the whole lot to its folders.

@InfinityBeing I think your posts are unrelated to this topic. Please don't post here - you already have your own topic.
Sorry for the noise on the topic @BuZz, @magicfly.

Sorry, i've just noticed entering in each package menu that a few ones can just be downloaded from source and compiled.

Thanks.

Oh, yeah, forgot it's using $md_inst for user data.

I tried to update script, and after that, new version of the script even told me, that 4.3 is not supported. There in no "install from binary" at all for me. I can install from source, but it gets some old version too (some 1.6.9), and it is not working properly (glitches and freezes).

This means you're running an RetroPie version based on Raspbian Jessie, which is no longer support by Raspbian and - alas - by RetroPie also.

You should try and upgrade by imaging with the latest version of RetroPie (4.5.1) and you can backup and restore your settings and roms using the method mentioned int the Docs.

@davidgrohl As far as I know, the current version should be compatible with 1.7.6, it's not a breakning change. However, as @dankcushions said, if your installation is too old and it's based on a previous Raspbian release, your best option is to install a new version. As always, backup your installation before making major changes/upgrades.

@quicksilver hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 works fine :)

l8r I'll check some performence ...btw if ur having a good cooling system force your games to run at governer mode.

quoted by buzz
"If you want to set the performance governor when running games, that is already supported
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-setup/wiki/runcommand
(It sets it on game start, and restores previous setting on game exit)"

@rsn8887 yes update is your best option unless the documentation here spells that out that it's a better option (e.g. Jessie to Stretch)

Thanks for the response. I looked at the controller config and my hotkey button wasn't set to select. Once I did that everything worked as expected.

@herb_fargus
Thanks! I was reading now, thanks!

Sorry for the extreme late reply! In reference to my original issues, I got the controller issue fixed (Yay!) but my other problem remains in that I cant get Beavis and Butthead to load from the start. From my last post, I discovered that the game does in fact run properly IF I load a save file from it, however, I get booted back to the main EmulationStation screen if I try to start a game from the beginning. Here are the contents of my runcommand file:

Parameters:

When I try and start a new game and get booted back to the main screen, this line of text briefly shows up...

*** Error in `/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm': double free or corruption (out): 0x7ee9b2d0 ***

Any ideas, thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Such option doesn't exist right now, but you can use the auto-update just for the sections which always have binaries - i.e. excluding experimental. The experimental section recently started providing binaries, so that would work for most of them - my guess you have the extra repository enabled and those don't have binaries.
If you open a package from the menu, it will detect if there is a binary update available and you can choose to update or not. Sure, it's just a workaround, but how many experimental packages do you have installed ?

Hi,

I just want to ask for any updates? Am I really the only one who uses the theme? :/

has there been any progress on this front?

@m2306 Mame2003plus started to use analog as default for some reason. Change it back to digital in retroarch.

@mitu
Indeed you are right!
Thanks, solved now.

its a bug ... after each update, you will need to go to the spashscreen settings and make sure to change them to whatever it was already set to and the problem will be solved.

I too ended up compiling the current stable build. Had same issue as you did with SDL 2. SDL 1.2 works great. Only items needed on the make builder were

./setup_t -t larm -api sdl

Enjoying Ancient Art of War on the Mac via RetroPie :-)
