I’ve rolled most of the authors settings into this tool that includes all files
https://github.com/biscuits99/rp-video-manager

[Floob]

It may be a DOS game in which case you can use dosbox

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/PC

When you apply thorigs settings, check out one of the updated files, i.e.
/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg and look at the line that refers to the .cfg file in there.
Then put that in the relevant system retroarch file, i.e.
/opt/retropie/configs/mastersystem/retroarch.cfg

There are potentially width and height considerations, but thats broadly it.

[Floob]

This video gives an overview of the types of changes.
Or you could apply the first option, then just go into the systems and change the filename to point to the thorig overlays.

[Floob]

Whats Toriqs decal?
Do you mean Thorig?

If so, you could message him here to support more systems
https://www.petrockblock.com/community/members/thorig/

Or you could manually add it to the other systems.

[Floob]

Sure, here are the paths:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs#lr-mame2003

MAME 2003 uses 0.78

It looks like should need 12 roms in fantjour.zip
http://www.progettoemma.net/index.php?gioco=fantjour&lang=en

I would imagine if you put konamigx.zip in your roms dir with 300a01.34k in it, the game should start. Do note the game is marked as imperfect in terms of the graphics emulation though.

I dont have a Pi to test on at the moment, but when you run this you can see the core options by going into RGUI (Select + X)

[Floob]

This should help you save the RGUI settings

[Floob]

The FCEUmm core you are using says the B button will be used when the Y RetroPad (not your controller) button is pressed. If you want that to work with the X RetroPad button you could just change it there?

If you want to remap your RetroPad as a whole, you edit the controller file.

[Floob]

@g0nz0uk – Yes, as herb says, thats not really needed anymore as it should create it when you set it up in EmulationStation. I’ll try to do a new vid of it.
If you really want to re-create the retroarch file (which will get written to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/) you can see the option listed as (3 – Setup, 314 – Configure Input devices for Retroarch)

@martin0037
The Neo Geo directory is really just a way to collate those games. As the NeoGeo was unique in having an arcade based system (MVS) and home based console (AES), that played exactly the same games, some people want to have a section just for the NeoGeo.
As they are really just arcade games anyway, you can happily run them all under FBA or MAME.
Personally I put the Neo Geo games in the neogeo directory and remove them from FBA, but its just personal choice.

[Floob]

Thats odd, I just tested it and it seems fine (yes 1.0 is latest version at the moment). I used lr-fba as the neogeo emulator, but that should make no difference as they both use the same retroarch.cfg

The config file /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg should read like this with the options you chose

video_fullscreen_x = 1920
video_fullscreen_y = 1080
custom_viewport_width = 1194
custom_viewport_height = 896
custom_viewport_x = 363
custom_viewport_y = 91
aspect_ratio_index = 22
input_overlay = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/1080p_4-3/NeoGeo-SNES-MegaDrive_1080p.cfg
input_overlay_enable = true
input_overlay_opacity = 1.000000
input_overlay_scale = "1.000000"
video_smooth = true
#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

The error you are descriving implies these are different for you

custom_viewport_x = 363
custom_viewport_y = 91

Or maybe your TV is outputting a quirky 1080p signal – but then if it works ok for the other emulators it should be fine.

[Floob]

@scoularis
If you confirm the menu option (numbers) you chose I’ll check it out. Are you using RetroPie 3.2.1?
I’m trying to remember if lr-fba-next is the default for Neo Geo?
It may also help if you post your /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg on pastebin.com and link to it.

[Floob]

This may help explain it:

[Floob]

Adding the extension in es_systems.cfg is unlikely to make them work, just make them show up. As far as I know retroarch and most other emulators dont load .7z
You would be best to unzip (except mame of course)

If you want to edit the file, use PuTTY to SSH to the Pi.

[Floob]

gngeopi uses a different romset, so I guess you have 0.138?
The details are here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

You exit the gngeo emulator via the menu button, which can be set as seen here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Neo-Geo

[Floob]

How did you create the new folders?
I’m not sure what you mean by retroarch recovery file?

[Floob]

What do you mean ‘retroarch recovery file’?
Have you watched this one to see how srm files are used?

Have you made sure that user pi can write to this directory you created?
/home/pi/RetroPie/Saves/

[Floob]

Do note the video doesnt show that shader I linked to, its really good though.
Some examples are here, it includes quite a cool barrel effect

[Floob]

Have you tried this more lightweight shader?

crt-pi a Pi2 friendly CRT shader

Or you could try overlays

[Floob]

If you upload /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to pastebin.com I can take a look if you like.

[Floob]

1. Yes, as you say that just deals with Emulation Station
2. Yes, that is read in by the file in #3 by default, so you could update that and remove the references in the #2 file
3. That is the default file and should work if you edit that – and maybe remove the reference in there to pull in #2

This video may help explain it from about 15min in

[Floob]

You can see how to apply overlays or shaders in a few of the videos, some are

There are others on saving settings and shaders etc…

[Floob]

If you have followed the Wiki its likely to do with the rom versions.
See this link
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

Whicj emulator are you using for the Neo Geo?

[Floob]

The NeoGeo is basically arcade games (MVS), so you just use the -mame flag with sselphs scraper.

[Floob]

You can see that here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#expand-file-system

[Floob]

If they are different controllers they should have different filenames in the directory
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

[Floob]

Should be fine, its largely a case of just adding the second one in the same way.
See this thread for another example:

8Bitdo Bluetooth Controller Guide (Retropie v3)

[Floob]

@tossy What if you unpair the controllers and try to repair?
bluez-test-device remove XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

@sike The command to connect is at step 3 here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-Bluetooth-controller

So it wont try again after that unless you manually try to connect at the command line.
You could link a connect script to the RetroPie menu in emulation station to manually kick it off.

[Floob]

Will do – thanks chito.

The generic TV sets have been added to the systems listed here:
https://github.com/israelperez/retro-gaming/blob/master/bevels-overlays/1920×1080/README.md

e.g. the 90s one states SNES and MD, so I added them there. Other users overlays have different viewport sizes for those 2, but I dont see an issue with how yours is, it doenst make that much difference.

So just shout if you want the same spec added to other systems.

[Floob]

Yes, if it really is version 3 you are using, it had an issue with the default snes emulator.
I’d try 3.2.1 which shouldnt have that issue, or update the binary as herbfargus says.

[Floob]

Maybe it has a different mac if its in a different mode. I’ll try to check mine out soon and post back.

[Floob]

What about if you boot the SNES30 into keyboard mode instead of joypad mode?

[Floob]

If you check the videos in my sig you’ll find a PSX video with overlays and also a way to quickly apply new shaders and overlays to a setup. Also there are ones showing how to set the shader up so it sticks.

[Floob]

Maybe its an issue with your router blocking it? Is it connect by WiFi or Ethernet cable?

[Floob]

Try changing this
# input_frame_advance = k

to this
input_frame_advance = nul

Its in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

(or set it to a key you dont use, or disable hotkeys)
