petrockblogKeymasterand removed again….. bloody spammers.
petrockblogKeymasterThe account has already been removed.
petrockblogKeymastertell them to use shutdown instead of quit then. (Alternatively you can look at the ES kids edition, or code in some ES changes yourself, or modify the launch script)
petrockblogKeymasterYou should start from a new Raspbian Jessie based 3.6 image.
petrockblogKeymasteryou probably missed something then. Like not adding the repository correctly.
petrockblogKeymasterpetrockblogKeymasterif you want scanlines etc (and shaders to make the picture look like a crt) you should try a libretro mame emulator.
petrockblogKeymasterI read in another review it requires a kernel patch to get it to work – although no reference to what one. I would just get another adapter that is known to work.
petrockblogKeymasterI guess you didn’t check the reviews before you bought it – the first review I see:
Works OK on a Windows PC, except for the fact that I have to mash the Select button abnormally hard for it to detect (this was verified with three different controllers). If you are buying this for RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi, don’t bother–because of the way the adapter handles the axes, pressing right does nothing. I was unable to get it to work at all. For the RPi, I recommend the Super SmartJoy, which works wonderfully.
petrockblogKeymaster0.94 and 1.4
petrockblogKeymasterI have made some changes to the advmame emulators – the vector width and height is now configurable in the config file – please give it a test
you need to update retropie-setup and re-install advmame from binary. then you can configure the width/height with the option “display_width” and “display_height” (they default to 640 / 480)
petrockblogKeymasterYep – but I think with your permission problems you will benefit from a fresh install. Also if you are on Debian Wheezy, support for that is being discontinued (depending when you installed originally)
petrockblogKeymasterThey can be disabled by editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/YOURJOYPAD.cfg
see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration for some more info.
petrockblogKeymasterYeah – just get a keyboard. It’s not worth the hassle and it’s a useful thing to have around.
petrockblogKeymasterI would add I have seen this happen, but only when powered from a mains adapter downstairs – when powering from my RPI hub for development it doesn’t do it, so maybe it’s related to some interference. I’m not really a hardware person though.
petrockblogKeymasteryou can navigate the menu with a joypad BTW. directions are mapped to the first axis, and button 0 is mapped to select options. Work fine on my Xbox controllers and ibuffalos
petrockblogKeymasterif running it manually you will need to provide it the path I guess – but why bother ? Run it from retropie-setup – much simpler. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/scraper
petrockblogKeymasterThe way controllers work has changed with the switchover to SDL2. I don’t know a way to change this, and I’m not sure if it’s an SDL2 issue or a change in scummvm. However analogue joystick controls seem fine, so it might be by design than dpad works differently and does large jumps. Easiest workaround is to use a mouse or controller with analogue input.
petrockblogKeymasterwe include both a libretro port of caprice32 and this port in retropie
petrockblogKeymasterhow are you launching the scraper ? the scraper module we include (which uses sselph’s scraper) saves images to the correct location.
the delay is normal as it saves meta data on exit – there has been many posts about this already.
petrockblogKeymasterfor Kodi 16 see – https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/KODI
(we don’t include Kodi ourselves – we just install from the raspbian repository)
lr-beetle-supergrafx is now used for supergraphx – install it from experimental.
petrockblogKeymasterI would start from a new image to be safe due to the problems with your current setup.
petrockblogKeymasteryou can add additional emulators in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/emulators.cfg btw
petrockblogKeymasterok that is completely different from our 1.2 then and you will probably have the same problem (but it has the problem you have to set up modelines, and there are a few cases where they cause problems as it thinks a certain mode won’t be supported). currently it isn’t possible to have higher res vector games but I may tweak this when I get a chance (requires some additional code)
petrockblogKeymasterBTW advmame 0.94 / 1.2 were reworked in March 2015 so the modeline definitions were not needed (they make no sense on the RPI), and it automatically generates some built in modes based off the game resolution. Is it possible the advmame you are using is older than that as I would have thought 1.2 and 1.4 would behave the same.
petrockblogKeymasterAre you able to provide a smaller config that works based off the default shipped config with just the required changes ? For example in your config above you have things like “device_video_clock” which don’t get used with our version of advmame – it will be easier for me to work with then.
petrockblogKeymasterIt delays for 2 seconds vs 1 second delay on earlier versions. You can disable the launch dialog completely to remove this delay. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/runcommand
petrockblogKeymaster777 is rwx for all users – which is not correct for files that are not executable and it also gives write access to all users. You probably just want to chown to the pi user – but getting some information is better first eg the output of
ls -lRa /opt/retropie/configs(via pastebin or similar – not posted directly to the forum)
If you have a blue background on the launch menu something else is wrong as you are missing a config or it can’t be read. You might do better to start with a fresh image – sounds like you have messed it up. I can advise better with the config listing.
petrockblogKeymastera retroarch bug that is fixed if you update retroarch from binary or source.
petrockblogKeymasterHave you recently updated lr-mame2003 ? If so you will need to update retroarch also as it has changes that require an updated retroarch.
aah you did. Update retroarch and it should work.
petrockblogKeymasterShould be doable with 1.4 then also, but I thought it was set to 640×480 when using fb driver with our current modifications.
What config were you using?
petrockblogKeymasterwhy do you need 1.2 over 1.4 ?
