cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo git pull (get the newest retropie sources)
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

It should be “runcommand.sh 1″ = VGA :)

You can use the hotkey button only as input_player_1. There is a difference between your files. Only Joypad 1 (PSX) or Joypad 3 can open RGUI.

Your retroarchpsx.txt

input_player1_joypad_index = 1
input_player2_joypad_index = 0
input_player3_joypad_index = 3
input_player4_joypad_index = 2

retroarch1.txt

input_player1_joypad_index = 3
input_player2_joypad_index = 2
input_player3_joypad_index = 1
input_player4_joypad_index = 0

Ultraslim uses RetroArch. So the file from Post 5005 should work.

[gizmo98]

If you use RetroPie, update RetroPie and do a source based installation.

# cd RetroPie-Setup
# git pull
# sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
# select “Source Based Installation”

[gizmo98]

I modified some lines.

[gizmo98]

Please post your retroarch.cfg

[gizmo98]

Use shutdown from the emulation station menu:

The installation and settings.xml are fixed now. There is no script error if retroarch.cfg, dgenrc or gngeorc exists. But there is another problem. ES-Configs doesn’t change settings. It replaces the existing config files. My current retroarch.cfg and dgenrc only contain joypad settings ;-)

[gizmo98]

Always close the emulator and shutdown your PI. Otherwise cached data will be lost.

[gizmo98]

Joypad Configuration seems to be broken at the moment. Type…

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

…and try Joypad Configuration again.

[gizmo98]

…settings.xml was missing…

[gizmo98]

If you exit emulation station and there is a messages like “no shader found, use stock shader” there is something wrong. There are two possible reasons. Your retroarch.cfg is false or the shader directory is at the false position.

You can target specific shaders to specific libretro cores. The zip file contains the path “RetroPie/config”. There are examples for different targets.

[gizmo98]

Type:
# cd /RetroPie/emulators/

…and do this…
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=18853

If everything runs edit your es_systems.cfg and add the following lines:

DESCNAME=QUAKE 3
NAME=quake3
PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/quake3
EXTENSION=.txt
COMMAND=xinit /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/quake3/build/release-linux-arm/ioquake3.arm

Finally you must create a empty *.txt file (like start.txt) under RetroPie/roms/quake3.

[gizmo98]

If you had already run…
# ./retroarch-joyconfig >> ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

…check your retroarch.cfg.

There could be duplicates of the following settings:
input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player2_joypad_index = 1
input_player1_b_btn = “2”
input_player1_y_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “8”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_axis = “-1”
input_player1_down_axis = “+1”
input_player1_left_axis = “-0”
input_player1_right_axis = “+0”
input_player1_a_btn = “1”
input_player1_x_btn = “0”
input_player1_l_btn = “6”
input_player1_r_btn = “7”
input_player2_b_btn = “2”
input_player2_y_btn = “3”
input_player2_select_btn = “8”
input_player2_start_btn = “9”
input_player2_up_axis = “-1”
input_player2_down_axis = “+1”
input_player2_left_axis = “-0”
input_player2_right_axis = “+0”
input_player2_a_btn = “1”
input_player2_x_btn = “0”
input_player2_l_btn = “6”
input_player2_r_btn = “7”

Your joypad config should be at the end of the file. Disable all duplicates with “#”.

[gizmo98]

I updated the whole package. Check out the attached file.

You can use shaders only with libretro cores like imame4all-libretro and fba-libretro.

[gizmo98]

Please check out the attached shader presets. The shader dir = RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/shader.

All *phosphor*.glslp are brighter now. New and interesting shaders presets:
snes_scanline.glslp
snes_hq2xwaterpaintscanline.glslp (crisp, 720p, 1GHz Overclocking needed)
snes_hq2xwaterpaint.glslp (crisp, 1GHz Overclocking needed)

Please set video_smooth = false.

[gizmo98]

You could also test OpenVG without threaded video driver. Threaded video driver can produce a significant input lag.

video_driver=”vg”
video_threaded=false

(One warning: If you use OpenVG you can not open RGUI)

[gizmo98]

You could optimize some files. I don’t know if performance increases.

I have only tested pocketsnes and retrarch core. Delete RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch and RetroPie/emulatorcores/PocketSnes and do a source based installation.

[gizmo98]

Check /RetroPie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg.

Do the same as above or disable shaders:
video_shader_enable = false

[gizmo98]

Sorry! I thought you are using retropie.

Try to exit emulationstation with F4 and do a retropie full installation.

[gizmo98]

Check /RetroPie/configs/snes/Retroarh.cfg.

If video_shader = /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/shader/snes_phosphor.glslp
change filename to /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/shader/bsnes_gamma_ramp.glslp.

[gizmo98]

Ultraslim has another directory structure.
1. Copy runcommand.sh to /home/pi/.emulationstation.
2. # chmod u+x /home/pi/.emulationstation/runcommand.sh
3. Edit /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_system.cfg
4. Change runcommand.sh 1 to 6 (my zip file) or 4 (current RetroPie runcommand.sh)

[gizmo98]

First of all make a backup.
Windows: Run ‘USB Image Tool’ as admin and use device mode http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/
Linux/Mac: dd bs=1m if=/dev/”sdcard” of=/home/”userpath”/RetroPie.img

Disable overclocking:
# sudo raspi-config
# select Overclocking
# Select 700MHz
# Reboot

Update Raspbian:
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get upgrade
# sudo reboot

Update firmware:
# sudo rpi-update
# sudo reboot

Update RetroPie-Setup:
# cd RetroPie-Setup
# git pull

Install newest sources:
# cd RetroPie-Setup
# sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
# select “Source Based Installation”

Enable overclocking:
# sudo raspi-config
# select Overclocking
# Select 900MHz
# Reboot

[gizmo98]

Just update RetroPie-Setup, RetroArch and runcommand.sh and everything should be fine.

1. Exit Emulationstatistation
2. Command line:
# cd RetroPie-Setup
# git pull (or “sudo git pull”)
# sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
3. Select “Source Based Installation”
4. Select at least RetroArch, Emulationstation and runcommand.sh (Don’t select all. MAME compiles a long long time)
5. Click ok and wait.

[gizmo98]

Thank you very much. I did not had that issue because i modified my original runcommand.sh.

The shaders and a updated runcommand.sh were added three days ago to the master repository:
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/4a5ab350bf36aa6fe33a9000a4954836059a6e31

New run command options:
1: set video mode to VGA ONLY IF tvservice is in HDMI mode, and run command
2: keep existing video mode and run command
3: set video mode to VGA and run command
4: set video mode to 720p ONLY IF tvservice is in HDMI mode and run command

New shader path:
/RetroPie/supplementary/RetroArchShader

[gizmo98]

Phosphor shader runs smooth and looks good.

I have attached a collection of converted shaders.
