      EDIT: or may we caught a lucky break.

      Indeed you linked the PR we discussed about. It will be merged in soon meaning I'll be able to proceed with testing of Staging's upcoming release. It should be going fine yet count on me to report anything should I hit another roadblock.

      As usual thanks a lot for your assistance and always swift replies. Truly appreciated.

      @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 :).

      Upgrading the OS is not supported by Raspbian nor RetroPie. You probably have found some instructions on how to upgrade using apt and updating its configuration files in /etc/apt, but it's not a recommended process, especially for a beginner.

      If you wish to use an up-to-date/current version, use the image from http://retropie.org.uk/download. We don't support 3rd party image, as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      One of the perils when updating to the bleeding cutting edge firmware.

      Unless it is really needed I advise to stick to a kernel and firmware that works well on your setup and make it permanent and use a more cautious update than full-upgrade.

      @daragon said in Intel NUC 8i5BEK:

      EDIT3 (and the last): NEVER and NEVER run an emulator using sudo command, that's why I could not properly configurate my controller - Retropie runs emulators without sudo I suppose...

      Ah yes, this might make some sense after all. If you ran it with sudo the first time, the configuration file probably got saved with root ownership or permissions. Then when it runs as the regular pi user from ES, it doesn't have ownership or permission to edit the file most likely. I've seen the Windows version of this snafu before.

      The main folders you want to back up are:

      /home/pi/RetroPie (ROMs, BIOS files, splash screens) /opt/retropie/configs (configs for RetroArch, EmulationStation, also your scraped game library) /etc/emulationstation(custom themes as well as the systems ES has access to)

      The RetroPie documentation has info on how to copy files. WinSCP or Filezilla are probably the easiest programs to use.

      Copy those over from the 3B to the 4, and you should be fine. Note: after you flash the image onto your RPi4, you'll need to boot up with it for RetroPie to finish installing, then you can turn it off and start copying.

      What version of RetroPie do you have currently installed ? If you used an image version older than 4.6, then you'll need to install from a new 4.6 image on the new system.

      To transfer your existing files, backup your ROM/BIOS/Config files from the 3A+ installation, then restore them on the new installation.

      If you want to set up a new model, simply clone your /home/pi/RetroPie folder to your PC, install RetroPie on the new SD card, delete the new /home/pi/RetroPie folder, replacing it with the existing one.

      The mesa-drm package should not be needed for a RPI3b+ installation.
      Please add more info about your setup - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      @mgrabow
      if you choose the option of creating a game-specific file "rom_full_name.cfg" (e.g. centipede.zip.cfg)

      input_player1_mouse_index = "n"

      don't forget to add this second line:
      config_save_on_exit = false

      just to prevent an override of the main config...

      Cool.

      Thanks
      I'll hold of putting me new build together for now then and keep using the current one until buster/retropie release.

      At least Debian only release new major releases every 2 years unlike some other distros
