petrockblogKeymasterAnd in emulationstation ? please post via pastebin.com your /configs/all/retroarch.cfg and any files in /configs/all/retroarch-joypads/
petrockblogKeymasterDid you register the device in the correct mode ? (Start + R)
petrockblogKeymasterIf they are identical, just configure one, and the config will be used for both in retroarch. If they are different configure them both.
petrockblogKeymasterDid you make customisations ? If so I assume you know which you did, so you could reapply them with the config from rp-dist. Alternatively you could use a visual diff tool http://winmerge.org/?lang=en
petrockblogKeymasterif config defaults have changed, you will need to manually merge changes in – eg exiting retroarch.cfg files are not overwritten but new configurations are created called retroarch.cfg.rp-dist
petrockblogKeymaster3.4 is not officially released. It is going through final testing etc. To upgrade (at any time – RetroPie is in continual development – the image versions are a snapshot of where were are at a current point – https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-setup/wiki/Updating-RetroPie
petrockblogKeymasterI’ve had 2 rpi1 in cases without ventilation with no heatsinks overclocked at 1ghz for 2+ years. system throttles if it gets too warm.
you can save it by backing up /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pocketsnes – but you will need to adjust the configs/snes/emulators.cfg to point to it. There is no point though imho. The sound is worse, and the performance difference not noticable on my rpi1.
petrockblogKeymasterYeh after some further testing – there is little difference really – and the previous code has audio interpolation which sounds better (slightly slower, but not much).
I am going to revert back to the upstream code, but overclock your rpi more and it should be better. also you can try configuring “runcommand” from the retropie-setup setup / configuration menu and set governor to performance which might help too). If it’s fine on ondemand though leave it like that.
can also try the dispmanx video output driver. go to retropie-setup / setup / configuration menu and go to config editor. edit common options / all/retroarch.cfg and set video_driver to “dispmanx”
to improve rpi audio via jack, and remove background hiss you can try adding disable_audio_dither=1 to /boot/config.txt
overclocking more is the best bet though imho.
petrockblogKeymastersorry, please update retropie-setup again and re-install it from binary.
petrockblogKeymasterWe have discussed having an “arcade” folder where you can use it how you want (choose from any of the fba / mame emulators etc). for the way you want it you would require a rom set which had different versions of different roms etc.
Might add this at some point though if people want it.
petrockblogKeymasterI have rolled back our pocketsnes code to how it was before.
Please update RetroPie-Setup script, and the reinstall lr-pocketsnes (via menu 5 – install individual emulators from binary or source) and let me know if it works better for you.
petrockblogKeymasterhad you enabled this yourself ?
our default setting is to have this off
petrockblogKeymasterThere were some changes around in the pocketsnes emulator that means some optimisations may have been switched off by default. I will check that. I believe I had to change some stuff due to it not building correctly.
petrockblogKeymasterI have used the SNES fine on my Raspberry Pi B – do you have a sufficient PSU ? Overclocking ? Which games in particular – are some ok and some not ?
If you give me a specific example I can check on my set up.

petrockblogKeymasterdo not link to rom sites!

petrockblogKeymasteryou will need to add a new target to the source. many of the retropie “modules” (emulators etc) for rpi2 platform will build specifically for the rpi gpu.
assuming ES works from Xorg on the cubieboard, you could look at the implementation of the x86 platform and work from that (you basically need a platform config that builds for arm – uses the default sdl1/sdl2 assuming that works, but doesn’t try to use mali or the broadcom gpu). the x86 dependencies are probably correct for you in this case.
this requires code changes to the retropie script.
petrockblogKeymasterPlease do not email me personally asking for help – if you don’t get a reply on the forum be patient – maybe no-one on the forum at the time had an answer.
There are 6000 users on the RetroPie forum. There are many thousands more using the software. it would be unreasonable to expect 1 on 1 support from me, where no-one else would benefit from an answer.

petrockblogKeymasterwe haven’t removed any retroarch option – they have moved around some menu items though so it may well still be there.
petrockblogKeymasterI was referring to the libretro emulators – not FBA sorry. Please check which emulator is being launched from the pre-launch menu.
petrockblogKeymasterif your controller maps to keypresses you can do
input_enable_hotkey = (leaving off the _btn etc)
petrockblogKeymasterno – it takes the parameter given after _SYS_ as the directory name.
petrockblogKeymasterit’s a parameter for runcommand – if it sees _SYS_ as the “command to run”, it works differently, and takes the commandline from /configs/_SYS_/emulators.cfg
petrockblogKeymasterI tested the above command on retropie and it worked for me (after doing it i could import the library fine)
petrockblogKeymasterdid you:
sudo pip install RPi.GPIO?
01/04/2016 at 00:35 in reply to: Can someone check to see if I rebuilt my MAME ROMs correctly? #113054petrockblogKeymasterok well. you are not missing that many – I rebuilt for lr-fba-next recently – using about 8 sources (various mame versions from 0.37b5 to 0.161). Ended up with 269 missing sets. I guess although it’s based on mame 0.167 that isn’t enough to rebuild everything.
01/04/2016 at 00:24 in reply to: Can someone check to see if I rebuilt my MAME ROMs correctly? #113051petrockblogKeymasterrebuilding to what version? You may need some older romsets to build more as roms will have changed etc.
Try and find a set closer to the target set you are trying to rebuild for.
petrockblogKeymasterProblem with your SD card ? Worth trying another in case it is.
petrockblogKeymastersounds like a psu problem if related to another controller connected.
petrockblogKeymasterWatch the video tutorial. All the information you need is on that wiki page and in the Video.
petrockblogKeymasterSorry for that! The old server has been shutdown now.
petrockblogKeymasterSome posts made to the old server are “lost” as it was on during the migration (still is). shouldnt be more than an hours worth (ttl on the dns)
petrockblogKeymasterDue to server move and DNS updating.
