herbfargusMemberIts possible your SD card is corrupted. Did you make sure to expand your filesystem with raspi-config first? You could also be having issues with your network/WiFi dongle.
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberYou should check out some of peardian’s work:
Though it would be sweet if they made an HD sequel
herbfargusMemberAt long last! Its glorious
herbfargusMemberThis video explains the conventional method of updating stuff in retropie.
herbfargusMemberLack of processing power. It performs better with a rpi2
herbfargusMemberThe only other thing I could think of is trying another SD card but other than that I have no idea.
But yeah I definitely recommend an rpi2
herbfargusMemberThat is odd. Its possible it corrupted on downloading/ the SD card might have issues. Try reinstalling with a fresh SD image again because it should just boot into emulationstation.
herbfargusMemberYou need to install the Nintendo ds emulator first from the experimental menu in the setup script (as the wiki page states) and then the folder will show up.
herbfargusMemberWhen it boots does it show 4 raspberries or 1 raspberry?
4 raspberries means you need the SD image for the RPI 2
1 raspberry means the SD image for the RPI 1
herbfargusMemberYou choose update setup script in the setup script. Should be option 5 or 6 I believe (you’ll need an active internet connection of course). See this video if there is any confusion:
herbfargusMemberAnd don’t forget to update your setup script first.
herbfargusMemberCan you not just install it from the setup script?
herbfargusMemberyeah your theme is the issue: to test it you can go back to the default theme and see if you get the same results.
To give you an idea- if you take both themes: a typical background image for the simple theme is 720p and runs you about ~50kb and the zoid theme is 1080p and runs you about 500kb.
You may be able to run it through an image optimiser to take it down to 720p or at the very least minimise the file size but that’s probably the most likely thing causing your issue.
Also I made a simple video on how to remove the unwanted emulators. There are other ways of doing it too but I find my way simplest.
herbfargusMemberHow it is coded now you can easily add multiple networks manually for your pi to remember if you’re taking it to a friend’s house with a different network:
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.confjust add the following lines at the end for each new network (WPA/WPA2):
network={ ssid="NETWORK_NAME" psk="NETWORK_PASSWORD" }for different encryptions like WEP you can see the wiki
As far as integrating it as an option in the setup script you can open up a ticket on github
herbfargusMemberIf it is indeed the same issue (which it could be but I could be wrong) it is a bug related to emulationstation/ the raspberry pi’s lack of processing power. the only partial solutions I know of are to increase the GPU split or to decrease the amount of systems. I take it you are using the default ES theme? how many systems do you currently have on your setup? As far as your setup goes are you on an rpi2? did you start from a fresh 3.0 image or did you update to one? the more information you give the easier it is to narrow down what the issue might be.
herbfargusMembersign into ftp as root or update your setup script, re-enable samba shares from the setup script and it will be editable from there as well (you can type \\RETROPIE into a filemanager to access the folders as long as your raspberry pi is connected to your network)
herbfargusMemberthe wiki details how to reinstall it manually (method 4):
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-Up-Wifi.
it was removed because it causes cpu scaling issues.
herbfargusMemberThere is a way you can modify the hotkey behaviour with the setup script in option 3 you could try the options there and see if that sorts it out.
herbfargusMemberIf you have a joypad plugged in it overrides the nulbinding of the keyboard and you need to use the joypad hotkey (default select) in order for ESC on the keyboard to work to exit.
But you should just be able to use select+start on your joypad to exit. If you’re having problems with that see this post:
herbfargusMemberYou can just log in as root: create a root password with
sudo passwd rootand then use that password to log in as user root.08/23/2015 at 17:24 in reply to: Hotkey button no longer working (Can't exit with start + select) and wi-fi issue #104534herbfargusMemberThis should answer your hotkey button issue:
And your WiFi should be remembered- I haven’t had any problems with it. Post the results of /etc/network/interfaces. If you have your ssid and password in that file ammend it accordingly before you post.
herbfargusMemberIt may not be writing manual changes unless you cleanly exit emulationstation. So select quite emulationstation from the start menu and when it reloads see if your changes save.
herbfargusMemberYeah I had a similar issue- I don’t know what I did to make that happen, but I started from a fresh image and it didn’t happen anymore.
herbfargusMemberLooks good :) if youre not sick of making splashscreens yet- you should make a super Mario rpg one.
herbfargusMemberIts on the to do list but may be a while before we sort it out. Here are some notes on compiling kodi from source but it’s a doozy.
herbfargusMemberNice! You are very talented my friend.
herbfargusMemberyeah that would be good. it wasn’t something you did don’t worry :P
herbfargusMemberserver had issue so my posts were deleted- but to summarise: good work- you should make skins for super mario war and upload them to smwstuff.net (I’ve also started a repo for game mods for super mario rpg and sonic- essentially reskinning the games)
herbfargusMemberthere were server issues so I’ll repost my last post:
This video details how to update and install new emulators using the setup script but if you aren’t on retropie 3.0 you should really look at starting from a fresh 3.0 image.
herbfargusMemberNice!
herbfargusMemberThat lovely little square is telling you you have an insufficient power supply. You need 2A 5V. Sometimes cables can be bad even if your power supply is good. Get a new adapter. I use one from amazon from kootek that seems to work fine for me.
herbfargusMemberIt just takes some testing- the best solution is probably using whichever works best for the ROM. I don’t have any sound problems with mine so idk.
