herbfargusMemberSo you ran the roms through clrmamepro with the proper dat sets? (Doesn’t hurt to try even if you have the same romsets listed)
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberThe default core options for most emulators are Nintendo based which follow the snes pad layout and so its more intuitive for most when generating autoconfigs to match that rather than having to change every emulator manually to match their Xbox controller.
But each user has the freedom to change any settings they want, but the defaults are organised as a one size fits most.
herbfargusMemberEmulationstation won’t work with an xserver so you can count the startx option out.
Try fbcp
See:
Hardware is a bit different but the concept is the same.
herbfargusMemberYou can try one of these other methods and see if you get any better results:

herbfargusMemberUse the SD image and follow this guide:

12/27/2015 at 00:48 in reply to: I think the devs should add recommendations for the ODroid microcomputers #112550herbfargusMemberIt’s a different cpu architecture and compiled differently for different emulators not to mention it lacks the community support that the pi has as well as costs more, along with the main devs not having odroid boards to test with.
Perhaps if the devs had the boards and the time it may be looked at in the future but for now the pi fits most people’s needs. I’m also not sure how much of a difference the performance would make for a few emulators, if that is the case in most cases a pc would suffice.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about cross platform compatibility and I hope we get to the odroid but until we have the hardware and the time (and it becomes a priority) it may be some time.
herbfargusMemberThere was some preliminary support implemented for x86 platforms

But I just prefer to use retroarch and emulationstation on a pc:
herbfargusMemberThis thread helped me:
herbfargusMemberPress f4.
Or use ssh:

herbfargusMemberDid you unzio your roms first?

herbfargusMemberhttps://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation
Which system are you trying to play. Does it happen with all of them or just certain systems?
herbfargusMemberhttps://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#transferring-roms
You can do it over the network, or with the cp command from the usb, make sure its formatted to fat32 first.
herbfargusMemberSystem wide video configs are configured in /boot/config.txt but can also be set per system through the runcommand menu:
herbfargusMemberJust for reference:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Advanced-Configuration#cpugpu-split
And I still stand by my statement:
herbfargusMemberYou made sure you have the o2rom.bin bios?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/VideoPac-or-Odyssey-2
herbfargusMemberI don’t have access to my pi but I believe it’s in /home/pi/.emulationstation and then there should be a gamelist folder per system and a downloaded images folder. If it isn’t there it will be in /etc/emulationstation
You should try using a sselphs scraper:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/scraper12/24/2015 at 17:26 in reply to: Can't work out how to get Mame arcade roms to work with RetroPie #112448herbfargusMemberMame is incredibly complicated: its an emulator that emulates thousands of pieces of hardware with thousands of different versions of games.
There is a linked video on the link floob posted that walks you through the tutorial. As floob said, mame And fba are the exception and need to stay zipped in order to work (provided you have the correct version of rom for the emulator you are using)
herbfargusMemberIt could be the dat file (there may have been issued with that one as I never tested it). Try building with the non filtered .dat file and see if you get any results
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs
herbfargusMemberJust install it from the experimental menu of the retropie setup script

herbfargusMemberWelcome to the forum!
Yes it can be done. Check out the people’s projects section of the forum to get some ideas from other users of retropie who have done something similar on how you can implement your vision
herbfargusMemberThat’s what Backups are for.
herbfargusMemberJust in case anyone else is interested I made an svg of it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TMeZ6iEFvHYXZWT2dNVENjMnc/view?usp=docslist_api
herbfargusMemberBut yeah overclocking too high sounds like it’s the main culprit as that’s happened to me in the past too.
herbfargusMemberLimitation of emulationstation. If you are a rom hoarder the only themes that will work for you are carbon, turtle, and maybe eudora. The rest will always result in a white screen of death.
herbfargusMemberBest bet is probably just to use a pc for those.
herbfargusMemberCheck power supply/cables, check for SD card corruption, the only way to really narrow it down may be to check with diff hardware to see if you get the same results.
herbfargusMembersee also:
herbfargusMemberIt’s explained in the documentation:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Advanced-Configuration#cpugpu-split
herbfargusMemberyeah the simplest may be a fresh image, there is also a way to unexpand the card as well… I haven’t done it yet myself but I know its possible.
herbfargusMemberChange the platform in your es_systems.cfg on the megadrive to Genesis. Megadrive was depreciated from thegamesdb.
See sselphs scraper as well as it runs faster:
herbfargusMemberWish I had found that forum post 3 hours ago :P but thats basically what I came up with as well in the end. a few things I did differently though. I’ll lay out my steps as my hardware is slightly different too (its basically exactly the same process though)
My hardware is Odroid-W
http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=g140610189490
With the docking board with a 2.2″ screen
http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140618854370
Steps:
Install RetroPie (in my case 3.2.1 for the rpi 1)
Raspi-Config
sudo raspi-configexpand filesystem disable overscan force audio to 3.5mm advanced options >> enable Device Tree advanced options >> enable SPI >> load SPI kernel module by default sudo reboot(I may have also needed this but I cant remember)
Console at boot: Add kernel argument to the end file
/boot/cmdline.txt– make sure it is all on the same line or it will break the boot sequence and require a reimage)fbcon=map:10Adafruit Helpers
cd curl -SLs https://apt.adafruit.com/add-pin | sudo bash sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader y sudo apt-get -y install adafruit-pitft-helper sudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 22 console on display? no gpio 23 as on off button?FBCP
sudo apt-get install cmake git clone https://github.com/tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp cd rpi-fbcp/ mkdir build cd build/ cmake .. make sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin sudo install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcpInstead of using the asplashscreen fix I added the boot function for fbcp to
/etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.shon its own on the second line before emulationstation is called.
/usr/local/bin/fbcp &
/boot/config.txt
sudo nano /boot/config.txt hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 dtoverlay=pitft22,rotate=90,speed=80000000,fps=60I also ignored the runcommand fix as it worked better without it.
I found that putty doesn’t work when fbcp is running so I just exit to the terminal and type
killall fbcpand then to restart emulationstation I created a bash script to call fbcp before emulationstation
sudo nano /home/pi/emulationstation.sh#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/local/fbcp & emulationstationsudo chmod +x emulationstation.shthen to run it just type
./emulationstationIt’s still a bit rudimentary and definitely has room for improvement (I’m also trying to figure out a way to get rid of the annoying blinking cursor from the terminal as it keeps showing up on top of my games) but it is working, so I am happy.
I would still be interested in checking out your image though to compare and see what methods work best for optimisation.
herbfargusMemberHow did you get emulationstation to display on your screen? I can get mine up and running but emulationstation wont show up on the screen. I would be interested in your image if that’s possible.
