I’ve manage to make a small script which takes screenshots when i type screenshot.sh but i still need to use putty to do so. If i can manage to find that i should be able to keybind the script to printscreen or something similar to take screenshots.

I’ve been trying to figure out a new IBM replacement image. I wanted to take more of dosbox aspect to it so figure a command comp command would look better.

ex.

You need to click on it to see it since it got blacked out, if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

[Omnija]

It would be a good idea to make an online excel doc for whats playable and whats not with known issues.

Double check your gpumem, im pretty sure default is set to 64mb, raise it to 256 or 512 and see if the problem persists.

[Omnija]

Will there be support for psx .pbp formats?

[Omnija]

Nice an updated version of Florian Hurtaut’s theme, keep up the work.

[Omnija]

Sounds like a constant improper shutdown which ended up re-corrupting your sd card.

[Omnija]

Not really sure where abouts to add commands/keybinds.

[Omnija]

you would probably have to set it to be able to use a wildcard name, so every time you screenshot an image it would change.

Something like, but im not not 100% sure
./raspi2png -p $(date +%m%d%Y_%H%M%S).png

Then have to hotkey/bind it to the controller or keyboard.

Ill look into it when i have more time.

[Omnija]

navigate to /opt/retropie/configs/[system] inside that folder there’s a file called emulators.cfg. You can change it in that change default emulator name.

I did js0 and js1 and got a result of

js0 = Generic Xbox controller
js1 = Harmonix Xbox 360 Controller

Not really sure why since it’s the same controller? Do you think it probably due to it not being supported?

using the lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1bad:f900 Harmonix Music

On reboot i get
js0 = Generic Xbox controller
js1 = Generic Xbox controller

using the lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0e6f:011f Logic3

2x wired xbox360 rock candy controllers, there always in the same ports i don’t unplug them. The lights on them are still flicker but occasionally 1 of em doesn’t (respond) and it’s always controller 1. They are both brand new controllers.

As for checking the JS inputs i have not, is it possible the controller occasionally gets registered as something different which does not have an input yet?

Edit: it just happened again, turns out it’s being recognized as a Harmonix xbox360 controller, is there any way to force it to stay as a generic xbox 360 controller?

[quote=100420]hi how do i install this ? and will it work on beta 3.4 .

navigate to to /etc/emulationstation/themes then extract theme there. In your emulationstation press start and go to UI settings, scroll down to theme set and change theme.

[Omnija]

Thanks InsecureSpike, it’s been helping a whole lot. The camera shots wasn’t very practical lol.

Customize your own shade of Headers, some of the headers were redone or modified to fit better on the top. We also didn’t want to strip some of the official colours from the systems, since it made it seem very bland.

.Pdn file type for Turtle Pi Buffet (Headers and all the systems).

I uploaded it above, all you have to do is download/unzip and replace it in the opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mgba.

[Omnija]

probably due to the permissions set to the folders/files are = to root rather then = to pi.

[Omnija]

Here’s a copy of the old binary incase anyone wanted it. Retrieved it from a backup image i had.

[Omnija]

[quote=99974]Thanks I did that, see my post.
Cheers

Try obtaining another bios from another source or try recopying it. Sometimes transferring files can partially transfer or corrupt a file (due to unstable connections or some similar sort). See if the problem persists.

[Omnija]

Is it possible that your rom(s)/game(s)/bio(s) are defective?
Have you also tried the Mednafen PCE not (fast) version?

[Omnija]

Will do thanks.

[Omnija]

type emulationstation

[Omnija]

I don’t think there’s an option to install it from binary, due to it being an experimental install.

edit: can’t seem to figure out how to report bugs/issues

[Omnija]

[quote=99814]Which bit are you struggling with?

[/quote]

when compiling it always creates errors. Different compiling flags different errors.

[Omnija]

i have a feeling it has todo with the cue,bin and another i forget. I would suggest converting them to eboot or isos. I suggest eboot due to compression level’s being better and taking up less space.

[Omnija]

[quote=99801]i’m trying this right now, but im struggling to build.

[/quote]

I’ve been trying as well, no success.

[Omnija]

read that and it didn’t make much sense on how todo it.

[Omnija]

Thanks, been waiting for something to hurt my eyes less.

[Omnija]

Not all games are playable, and yes you should be able to config your bartop joystick to maneuver through the menu.

[Omnija]

[quote=99358]nah, I got busy and didn’t get to try it. Hopefully tonight.

what emulator is it? I’d like to dig into some documentation.

[/quote]

Most likely Desmume

[Omnija]

when launching the emulator press M and switch emulators. There is also another emulator you can installed (testing) version which i don’t know much about which apparently is recommended.

[Omnija]

I use a .sh script also that launches my games .exe and the games i have are

Raptor: call of the shadows
Whacky Wheels
Jack Jazzrabbit
wolf3d
Heroes of might and magic 2

Which seem to be running at high performance. A game i noticed very slow game play was star wars dark forces, but with some minor edits with in the game settings it worked out fine.

I tried to get duke nukem 3d to work but it didn’t seem to for me. I’m having problems with configuring eduke32, so i figured id give dosbox a try with it lol.

[Omnija]

What’s the performance like for power stone?

[Omnija]

do you have wolf3d game folder in the pc rom folder? if not that’s probably why, or if you do you might need to chown pi:pi to the folder.

[Omnija]

/opt/retropie/configs/pc/emulator.cfg

should look like this

dosbox="%ROM%"
default="dosbox"

then you need to input the individual launch.sh for each game.

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/Wolfenstein 3D.sh

#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -c "mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc" -c "c:" -c "cd wolf3d" -c "WOLF3D.EXE" -c "exit" 

Hope that answers a couple of questions.

[Omnija]

@elgur85 the trick is to edit es_system to show only .sh launch scripts. You also have to make a launch .sh for each game and edit the config/dosbox emulator by removing the launch command and only leaving %rom%. Takes a bit of work but once you got it edited, everything works easily.
