Yes! Don’t forget enabling SPI!!! because this module is disabled in retropie by default…

[motorhead]

You can install Hyperion in OpeneElec or in Retropie, but if you only want to have this working with the games, forget openelec. Follow this steps with fully working retropie 2.3 image:

1. Enable SPI module in raspi-config, is in advanced settings. Then reboot.

2. Install Hyperion as described in tutorial and reboot.

3. Enjoy!!

I used Raspberry + Openelec & Retropie (Works in both) + Hyperion + leds with chip WS2801:

You can follow this tutorial, is easy!

Hi! This is a memory issue, and happens when you have a lot of systems enabled. Try dissabling some or add more memory to GPU.

I had a problem like this, was a problem with folders names and capital letters in the gamelist.xml,did you changed the directories of the roms? If yes, try changing directory name from SNES to snes.

[motorhead]

You can config a certain combination of buttons to save/load games, It works fine. Search a bit in the forum for joystick configuration, is very well explained.

[motorhead]

Same issue here! I’m using 256mb for GPU, but I need to add some more, ES starts bugging text and missing pictures with certain number of systems enabled.

PD: Scraper can’t find words with 3 letters or less, I have all scumm games scrapped except “THE DIG”

[motorhead]

Thanks a lot! It’s working another time. Lets try turbo mode and see if makes the difference.

Hello! I had this issue with some emulators, not only with SNES. You can solve it modifying this file:

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

Search for this lines and uncomment/modify them:

video_fullscreen = true
video_force_aspect = true
video_aspect_ratio = 1.77

This is for the video, for the sound you must modify this one:

audio_out_rate = 44100

[motorhead]

Do you changed the rom folders?? Do you have the games scrapped? If yes, try deleting the file with the games info. If this solve the issue, maybe is a problem with capital letters in folders, I had an issue like this one in older versions…

[motorhead]

Try changing in the config file audio to 44100. (The file is here for 2.2 and 2.3: /opt/retropie/configs/all). It worked for me.

[motorhead]

Is faster saving all config files that you modified in 2.2, save Roms, and write the new 2.3 image… Then overwrite config files (Be sure that files are not updated in 2.3, if yes, change them manually ).

Deleting games from EmulationStation is not working for me… exits emulationstation without an error. Is working for someone?

[motorhead]

Finally Im using FB Alpha libreto, ps3 controller is working and fullscreen… but it has slowdown in some games… someone has a better option?

[motorhead]

Same here with ps3 controller over usb

[motorhead]

It’s solved! If Hdd is formatted in FAT some emulators will not save, but if is formatted in EXT4, they will work properly.

[motorhead]

It will be useful for me too… some help?

[motorhead]

Hi! If I put the games in the SD save works… if the roms are in HDD, not… I tried force saving with the save state key, but it says failed to save game. Any sugestion?

[motorhead]

Hi! First of all you must be careful with autocopy function. This searches on the folder “roms” of the usb for new roms (if that folder doesn’t exist it’s created), and if there are new roms, it will copy them to the sd. You can deactivate it, or you can leave this folder empty and create other folder with your roms (games for example).

Ok, you have the games in a folder, now you need to modify this file:

“home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg”

How can you reach this file? you can use ssh or you can use an ftp (filezilla for example). I recommend you installing an ftp, it’s easy to manage files with it. If you have the usb plugged, you will see your folders in “/media/usb0/” if not, you have something wrong.

In this file you can disable emulators, and change the roms folder. You only need to change roms folder for each emulator like this:

“/Retropie/roms/mame/” change for “/media/usb0/games/mame/” for example.

If you scrapped the roms (It means that your games have picture and information), you need to modify gamelist.xml of each emulator. Change roms and image folders.

I think that I don’t forget anything, but feel free to ask.

[motorhead]

Yes, Im using exit button in the joystick…

[motorhead]

Nice work! I’ll try it for neo geo games, I had to rename all neo geo roms for make it work…

Thank you!

Hi! the retropie setup is only for usb controllers, and you only need to run it once. If you want to use ps3 controllers using bluethooth, you must follow this:

https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-PS3-controller

When you get the first one working, just parse the second one and it’s all…

[motorhead]

Im using filezilla without problems, wich port are you using??

Try using sftp and port 22

[motorhead]

For FBA, change command on es_systems.cfg to:

COMMAND=/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 1 “/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/pifba/fba2x %ROM%”

You can use roms from an usb, change rom folder on the same file like this:

PATH=/media/usb0/Juegos/fba

i got an issue with this, the system generates a folder called roms for easy copying roms to the raspberry, if you put roms here it will be copyed to sd. I dont know how to disable this, but if you keep roms folder empty, and make another directory like “games”, you can leave roms here.

[motorhead]

If you have one ps3 controller working over bluetooth, you only need to parse the second controller like the first, but with the first desconected I mean… and modify retropie.cfg for adding player 2.

[motorhead]

Hi!

It was my fault at all…

A_1 = 5 WORKS
A_1 = “5” NOT

Allways copy paste…

[motorhead]

Hi! You started with 1.9.1 image or with older one? I got it working with 1.9.1, but with 1.8.1 was impossible for me…

You are modifying es_systems.cfg with the commands? or trying to execute the emulator from cmd?

If you are editing es_systems.cfg, the command working for me is:

COMMAND=/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 1 “/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/pifba/fba2x %ROM%”

[motorhead]

Hi! I changed in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg the command for executing FBA games, Im using second option, and the games run propertly now.

This is working fine:

COMMAND=/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 1 “/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/pifba/fba2x %ROM%”

[motorhead]

You must be root for this.

First you need to define a root password, try this:

sudo passwd root

If you are using a USB keyboard and the TV directly use:

su

Then write root password and you can do anything.

If you are using SSH or FTP then try to connect using user root not pi: root@192.168.1.X

[motorhead]

Hi! You need to write it manually.

For all emulators:
/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

If you want that changes only affect a single emulator edit retroarch.cfg in his own directory, and copy the lines from the “all” file:

/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg
/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/mame/retroarch.cfg

[motorhead]

Hi! I got 2 ps3 controllers working using USB following this tutorial:

Update for the RetroPie Setup Script: Support for RetroArch’s Autoconfig Functionality and (wired) Xbox 360 controller support

You can use my ps3 config file, unzip and leave it here:

/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/

Then you need to modify ES_input.cfg in /home/pi/.emulationstation, add this:

<inputConfig type=”joystick” deviceName=”Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller”>
<input name=”a” type=”button” id=”13″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”b” type=”button” id=”14″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”menu” type=”button” id=”16″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”pagedown” type=”button” id=”10″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”pageup” type=”button” id=”11″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”select” type=”button” id=”0″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”down” type=”button” id=”6″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”left” type=”button” id=”7″ value=”-1″ />
<input name=”right” type=”button” id=”5″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”up” type=”button” id=”4″ value=”-1″ />
</inputConfig>

The last step is to modify retropie.cfg at /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all, add this:

input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_a_btn = “13”
input_player1_b_btn = “14”
input_player1_x_btn = “12”
input_player1_y_btn = “15”
input_player1_l_btn = “10”
input_player1_r_btn = “11”
input_player1_l2_btn = “8”
input_player1_r2_btn = “9”
input_player1_l3_btn = “1”
input_player1_r3_btn = “2”
input_player1_start_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “0”
input_player1_left_btn = “7”
input_player1_up_btn = “4”
input_player1_right_btn = “5”
input_player1_down_btn = “6”
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-3”

input_player2_joypad_index = “1”
input_player2_a_btn = “13”
input_player2_b_btn = “14”
input_player2_x_btn = “12”
input_player2_y_btn = “15”
input_player2_l_btn = “10”
input_player2_r_btn = “11”
input_player2_l2_btn = “8”
input_player2_r2_btn = “9”
input_player2_l3_btn = “1”
input_player2_r3_btn = “2”
input_player2_start_btn = “3”
input_player2_select_btn = “0”
input_player2_left_btn = “7”
input_player2_up_btn = “4”
input_player2_right_btn = “5”
input_player2_down_btn = “6”
input_player2_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player2_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player2_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player2_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player2_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_player2_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player2_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player2_r_x_minus_axis = “-3”

Hi! The ES_Scrapper is having some issues, I don’t know why or if it will be solved soon, but you can use it manually. Try this:

cd RetroPie
cd supplementary
cd ES-scraper
sudo python scraper.py -w 275 -fix -m -p

This is a manual scrapping with resizing to 275 (change it if you want) and with partial mode, this means that script will ask you which game directory do you want to scrap (SNES, NES, etc…)

[motorhead]

Hi! Someone has ps3 controllers working over USB?? Im trying to solve this, I want to try controolers over usb and if the problem dissapears, maybe the problem is the bluetooth dongle…

[motorhead]

Hi! You need to edit gamelist.xml, it’s easy, don’t be afraid. First of all make a backup and take a look at the structure, all games info start with <game> and end with </game>, it’s easy to follow. You can search any game by rom name or by long name… Now you can:

-Delete a game: You need to delete all text from <game> to </game> (both lines included) of desired game. This only deletes the info of the game, the rom and the picture will be safe. For deleting files use filezilla or other FTP server.

-Edit existing game: You can edit everything, name, description, image… be careful with path, it’s where the rom is located. This is very useful for organizing, I have all pics in other directory, with search and replace you can replace all pics path faster.

-Add new game: Copy entire structure of another game and edit everything, including path and image path.

[motorhead]

Hi! I’m still stuck with FBA… Someone can help?
