RetroPie 4.3.17 Stretch images
-
@ketterer If you have a NOOBS Raspbian Stretch install, then use the manual installation method instead of an NOOBS based image - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/
-
@vodkanakas you mention USB mounting. Do confirm that you brought the BIOS files over from the previous setup you had to RetroPie/BIOS. Those emulators and games do work.
-
@pjft well I can confirm that I did but I put them in the roms folder so it was /roms/BIOS lmao all fixed now. Works great.
-
Since Stretch is a stable Raspbian build, will updating this test setup be equal to having a final release once it's released or will there be some radical changes that cannot be updated via RP?
-
@matchaman yes. Can update.
-
Seems to be an issue installing PS3 clone drivers also. Previously when you went to manage packages > drivers > ps3 & installed them, you could then "remove current configurations" which would uninstall the genuine ps3 controller drivers and allow you to install the shanwan clones, which would then work every time. (Have done this many times and easy to replicate)
Now after you install the ps3 drivers, if you go to remove configuration it uninstalls the whole ps3 driver selection option. (Have tried multiple times)
So basically, you can only install the clone drivers over the top of the original ps3 drivers which prevents the controllers connecting.

Is it possible to add the SkyScraper from @muldjord into future versions of RetroPie. There is a constant development of this tool since the last 9 month ... so there is a fair chance of future development. Maybe as optional package into the RetroPie-Setup?

Just adding something I have struggled with
Has anyone compiled lr-mame?I updated swap to 1024 and attempted.

@auswear I also have issues on Stretch with Shanwan controllers.
My solution is to use the new sixad drivers that are in a pull request on RetroPie-Setup github. But it always says PageTimeout and it takes like 2-3 times to initially pair them- but then it works great.

Oops, 4.14.30 kernel from last update seems to have broken some things, including dualshock 3 drivers...
edit : obviously not talking about the necessary remap, I had tons of ghost input, and the motion sensors are detected as a joystick. -
@sano In my case I have problems with the xpad-driver after the update:

-
@steeeb How do you install them?
-
@sano +1 been noticing this as well. Took 2 clean installs to finally get one of my pads to pair. Lots of ghost input, and I can only pair 1 of 3 of my controllers.

@Twitch0815
If you're somewhat familiar with git, @psyke83 version of sixaxis works great for me with 4.14.30 :

@sano Not sure this has been mentioned yet, but you can install this image directly onto a usb drive and run it on a pi 3B+. Not sure if this creates any issues, as I haven't hooked up a physical KB to it yet, but it boots up to the configure controllers part of ES...
edit for clarity: as in, no sdcard is needed if you boot with the usb drive.
-
I'm having some difficulty with lr-prdoom. It works mostly fine and goes in game, but for some reason, my weapon is constantly being swapped out, even when I remap those controls.
-
@gomisensei what size of USB did you use?
Makes me wonder if its possible to have a small as hell sd card for boot only, with the USB having all the retropie and kernal data
-
4.3.17 images are now on the first post.
-
@buzz thanks. What are the high level changes between 15 and 17?
-
@pjft you would need to check GitHub history sorry. Not at home.
