did you mean /etc/profile ?

emulationstation is launched in /etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.sh – you could change this or remove it and add your own script.

[petrockblog]

Nice – Maybe should allow SVG I guess too as it’s nice and open ? :) (and things like inkscape support it well – although I believe inkscape can also export PDF and probably PS)

[petrockblog]

if you have a rpi2 you could try it on advmame to see if it’s better.

[petrockblog]

You could report the problem upstream to emulationstation perhaps ? Maybe there is something that could be improved in the es code to reduce memory usage etc.

[petrockblog]

mame4all is based on mame code from ~15 years ago – so it’s likely since then the audio hardware has been emulated and so samples are not required.

[petrockblog]

It needs to be a stationary rocker switch, not a momentary like an arcade button.

[petrockblog]

NoFlo was right – thanks for that hint. The pinout diagram of the SNES connector is wrong. VCC and GND have to be swapped! I have gone through the assembly description and I could reproduce the erroneous behavior. Swapping GND and VCC solves the problem. Sorry for this wring pinout diagram, I have replaced it now.

[petrockblog]

done. thanks for this.

[petrockblog]

probably the config has the include at the end rather than the beginning. paste your retroarch.cfg for that emulator please /opt/retropie/configs/systemname/retroarch.cfg

[petrockblog]

Also, what launch settings are you using (are you changing any video mode / framebuffer res) ? And what monitor res do you run at (tvservice -s)

[petrockblog]

I’ll look into it. Probably related to some changes I made in regards to framebuffer. Can you give me more details – which emulator for example.

[petrockblog]

did you reboot your router just to make sure ? I know it’s obvious, but worth checking at least.

DHCP does work on the latest image as I use it myself. Nothing specific to retropie has been changed in regards to dhcp from raspian. Could be some new incompatibility with latest kernel and your wireless chipset of course.

[petrockblog]

gizmo98 – please do – author seems happy for that in https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/721

[petrockblog]

most pal games use a res of ~320×256. I’m not sure interlaced modes etc are supported currently. Which game are you missing part of the screen on ?

[petrockblog]

The fix is to do a full binary install. Due to large changes in retropie-setup the way stuff is launched has changed and installing an individual emulator from source will not suffice I’m afraid. BTW there is no need to install mame4all from source – the binary is up to date and there is little development to this code.

Although hacking the es_systems.cfg may fix it, you will likely run into further problems – the _SYS_ is used by the new runcommand launcher.

BTW I assume you manually typed the error above – there is no recommended.sh – it is called runcommand

[petrockblog]

Yes, you only use the USB mini connector. Also, You need to attach a toggle button to the ControlBlock.

Maybe you can post one or two images with your setup here?

[petrockblog]

“Not working” is not going to help me help you (Unless you want me to guess?!)

make sure you have updated the script, then do a re-install of lr-nxengine from menu 5 (from binary). Once this is done, it should tell you where to place the files. Do this, and then if it doesn’t work, please report back with a) a copy of /tmp/runcommand.log (right after launching fails) and b) a description of what doesn’t work – does it give an error, does it show a dialog stating where to copy the roms, or something else etc.

[petrockblog]

We don’t permanently mount usb drives by default do we ? the usbromservice mounts and syncs roms, but to mount permanently you need to add an entry yourself to fstab right ? unless I’ve missed something ?

[petrockblog]

There is a changelog on the download page. For more detail you can check the commit history on github.

[petrockblog]

you have changed a file. either “git reset –hard” or “git stash” your changes.

[petrockblog]

Xbian is not “officially” supported – did you follow the instructions apt-get said ? doing apt-get -f install ?

But I can’t guarantee it would work anyway – retropie is designed to be run on top of Raspbian (Wheezy)

[petrockblog]

when launching cavestory it says where the datafiles need to be put if it can’t find them – they need to be put in ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/CaveStory so you have the file ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/CaveStory/Doukutsu.exe present

[petrockblog]

I don’t see any problem with this site – it doesn’t really make sense regarding a ddos attack unless a browser had a recent exploit that was vulnerable via some software on this website. I see nothing suspicous though.

[petrockblog]

Yes, you just have to put the GPIO adapter on the outer most GPIO pins 1,2, … .

[petrockblog]

Just if you have not seen it yourself already: The ControlBlock is available again: https://www.tindie.com/products/petrockblog/controlblock/

[petrockblog]

Revision 1.3 of the ControlBlock has a USB Mini connector and was sold until a few weeks ago.

Revision 1.5 of the ControlBlock has a USB Micro connector and can optionally also get a USB-B connector.

[petrockblog]

no known bug – They have the correct permissions here, so it must be something you have changed or something specific to your set up.

[petrockblog]

then you are not running the 3.0beta image then? There is no “mame” folder in the latest version. The latest version of the usbromservice sets permissions correctly, if not it could be a bug or something else. But if you have a working “mame” folder, then it looks as though you are not up to date.

[petrockblog]

they do – you could use subfolders perhaps, but assuming you have a pi2, then you probably can just use lr-fba, and if you haev a rpi1, you probably just want pifba as lr-fba is too slow.

[petrockblog]

the current libretro mame is imame4all – which is based on 0.37b5 as with mame4all

[petrockblog]

plus 4 / vic20 is supported – just they don’t have their own platform folders currently. with the 3.0 beta you can switch to vic20/plus4 instead of x64 (as you mentioned, they are included as part of vice).

[petrockblog]

in 3.0 the config file is in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/ – and should be edited from there (there is a symlink to it from the previous location)

[petrockblog]

There is an sdl verion of adamem for colecovision, but the 1.8.1 version I have found references to has no source.

If someone can get hold of the source for this, we could take a look. or if any other sdl emulator is found.

[petrockblog]

the mame roms folder is not in use with the latest version – there is mame-mame4all and mame-advmame – nothing should be using the older mame folder.

[petrockblog]

I have added it to experimental section. Please let me know how it works for you. You can “optionally” install “7800 BIOS (U).rom” – works without but you don’t get the atari logo then
