Problem with lr-vice

@dankcushions Thanks for that. My Pi 4 is running the same version of lr-mame with the same romset and doesn't require any BIOS files or anything.

lr-mame? do you mean lr-vice?

Yes, sorry. I was just doing something in mame so it was on my mind!

One question. I noticed I now have to "press quit twice" to exit the emulator. Do I have to set that in the RA settings > Input > Hot Key Bind for each emulator or is there a way to set that globally? I think I have about 20ish cores installed and I'm really hoping I don't have to make that change one core at a time! :P

hmm, that should have set to true on your global /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg when you updated: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/a9198687e573694f01fd0b434100b86b1babff9e/scriptmodules/emulators/retroarch.sh#L265-L266

if so, i suspect your /opt/retropie/configs/c64/retroarch.cfg is not default and is full of all the options, overriding /all/retroarch.cfg? - perhaps you saved it when in the retroarch menu? this would mean you're running your own config, outside of retropie's remit, so you'd have to make your own change there (unless you returned it to default by deleting it, then renaming the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist to retroarch.cfg

this might fix your 7 second thing also

I did mange to get the "press quit twice" thing fixed however I'm still getting the delay once any core opens. It seems to be a global thing, not just with lr-vice. Any ideas as to what could be causing it? It wasn't an issue before I updated RA.

@dankcushions Also, I never touched /all/retroarch.cfg I only went into each emulator core, chose "close content" then went into my settings > Input > Hotkey Binds, and turned off the "Press Quit Twice" option, and then saved current configuration, where I can see it saved it into the emulator core directory. But even before I did any of that, I was still getting the delay from the vanilla install of the new version of RA.

Here is the file from my /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

See anything that could be causing the issue?

EDIT: I don't see anything in there about disabling press quit twice and this is the file that was downloaded "from binary" yesterday.

@dankcushions So I made another change. I went into every one of my emulation core config folders and changed the retroarch.cfg to the following. Now all the cores seem to work without the delay and I can also press quit once to get out of the core. I'm not sure if this was the best way to do it, or if you think there was a better way, but at least, for now, this "works."

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/nes/"

quit_press_twice = "false"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

did you update the retropie-setup script before updating retroarch? i'm not quite sure how you could get the retroarch update with the quit twice feature, without also getting the cfg change, mind.

So I made another change. I went into every one of my emulation core config folders and changed the retroarch.cfg to the following. Now all the cores seem to work without the delay and I can also press quit once to get out of the core. I'm not sure if this was the best way to do it, or if you think there was a better way, but at least, for now, this "works."

the better way is to add the quite_press_twice setting to /all/retroarch.cfg, as you want it to apply to every core. i think this issue you have is that you went into individual cores and saved retroarch settings. this makes you /opt/retropie/configs/nes (or whatever)/retroarch.cfg get replaced with an entire set of retroarch settings, removes the #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg", so it now operates independently from the global /all/retroarch.cfg settings and future config updates, and is on you to maintain.

this is why i would suggest doing any config changes via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Configuration-Editor, which maintains the hierarchy.

@dankcushions I'm going to do a full update and reinstall of as much as I can right now.
