press and hold a button at the initial configuration. It’s not a gamepad – it’s a keyboard device.

try things like

hdmi_safe=1

or

config_hdmi_boost=4

or 

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

[petrockblog]

Have you tried without using the XArcade2Jstick ? (so it maps to keyboard presses?). I prefer that on my set up.

[petrockblog]

we are building from the raspi branch which as native pi video output – it’s possible that the code is incomplete then – perhaps we should just use the plain SDL version if it works better.

[petrockblog]

yep – much appreciated gizmo thanks.

[petrockblog]

if you have no theme installer then you don’t have the latest retropie – update retropie-setup and it should show up – it might not be 307 though – the numbering is not fixed.

[petrockblog]

Read/follow the forum rules if you want to stay here – gizmo98 was just trying to help and inform you – no need to be rude.

It won’t help :)

You didn’t press the key you configured as A as explained in the instructions https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation

Follow the onscreen instructions to configure your gamepad- if you run out of buttons just hold down a button to skip each unused button. When you get to OK press the button you have configured as “A”.

[petrockblog]

you can still ssh in from another machine right ?

which version of retropie ? are you using a fresh image ?

you can switch keyboard layout if something has gone wrong using raspi-config (sudo raspi-config)

[petrockblog]

update/re-install mupen64plus from retropie-setup menu 5.

[petrockblog]

when we have a better way of installing optional stuff, this may change. people can choose to install what they want etc.

[petrockblog]

It is disabled as there are emulators that work at a decent speed (gpsp), and mgba doesn’t even with a big overclock.

I’m sure if we enabled it by default, we would get more complaints for people saying it is too slow etc :)

[petrockblog]

Thanks – I have opened a ticket here

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1055

I can implement the above changes when I get a chance, but feel free to submit a pull request if you would like to do them yourself.

[petrockblog]

thats not an error, just a warning. I assume your clock is wrong.

[petrockblog]

You already have a post on another thread for your problem – please stick to one thread. thanks.

[petrockblog]

sub=usb ?

Your pi is probably not getting enough power. Did you read the posts above ?

Which Pi?

Do you have a small rainbow box at the top right of the screen ?

Which snes emulator? (as an example).

[petrockblog]

Maybe they are not supported on the rpi port ?

did you try both

--ccr simple

and

--ccr 5bit ?

(from the xroar documentation)

[petrockblog]

Am interested in the contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf after install. Even if it says it doesn’t connect, if the config is in place it may connect after a reboot or waiting for some minutes. Also interested in contents of “/var/log/wpa_supplicant.log” (or similar named file)

[petrockblog]

you can increase alsa mixer volume level – there is a configuration under the retropie menu in ES for that. That will affect all programs though.

[petrockblog]

Hold a key down, choose your keys. Press a key to skip. Press the button you configured for “A” on OK.

This is in the install guide – https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation

[petrockblog]

Not much can be done about that, unless it was specifically optimised for the arm, which is a major project in itself. I had a feeling the SCPU emulation wouldn’t be usable. Even the cycle accurate c64 emulation is a bit slow on the rpi (x64sc)

[petrockblog]

I have successfully built it for retropie-setup – the current build script works with the latest version – I have uploaded the latest source, so you can build it by doing the following from terminal inside RetroPie-Setup folder.

sed -i "s/vice-2.4/vice-2.4.20/g" scriptmodules/emulators/vice.sh; sudo ./retropie_packages.sh vice; git checkout scriptmodules/emulators/vice.sh

the SuperCPU enabled binary is called “xscpu64”

you could add it to /opt/retropie/configs/c64/emulators.cfg

As it has been a long time since the last non dev Vice release, it might be worth me updating our packages permanently to the latest – but please give it some testing and let me know.

[petrockblog]

1.3 is probably the most compatible for games – the included aros one works for some stuff also (and isn’t commercial etc, so is included by default)

[petrockblog]

See https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/484

[petrockblog]

There is no EXIT_2 – set QUIT in the joystick config area.

[petrockblog]

Me neither – but you can post the log via pastebin.com or similar (logs are in RetroPie-Setup/logs

[petrockblog]

Please post a new issue at the github site https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues – including the es_temporaryinput.cfg – cheers

[petrockblog]

Aah sorry I have got mixed up – you could mention it affects you too I guess – sorry!

[petrockblog]

Well yes because they asked you a question, but I have answered it for you :)

[petrockblog]

Sorry setup / configuration menu (menu 3) I forgot it’s renamed.

[petrockblog]

in the retropie-setup supplementary menu :)

[petrockblog]

[quote=107793]Personally, I prefer pixelated too.

I just don’t understand why the default value of video_smooth is true.

I thought majority of users prefer that, which apparently untrue based on the feedbacks here.

It is kind of annoying to check the retroarch.cfg for each systems because some of the systems have its own video_smooth setting which overrides the settings in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

[/quote]

The majority of users don’t partake on the forum I guess, but smooth seemed a reasonable default as it is also the retroarch default – there will be complaints no matter which is the default.

None of the per system configs have an overriding video smooth setting on by default if you have that you have old configuration files, or they have been modified by yourself – it’s quick and easy to use the configuration editor in the supplementary menu to switch the default video smooth. It even have help text on some of the core video settings etc to inform users.

[petrockblog]

(it would require reinstalling the emulators to generate the configuration)
