gizmo making me look bad with all the AWESOME advice. Basically what gizmo said! Hope it works for you!

Hi Guistino,

did the pairing from the terminal work as per the tutorial?

For step 2: did you remove the USB cable after the pairing as per instructions? What I found is I press the PS button once, it starts vibrating/cycling lights and I press it a second time (both times a short press) and it works. Let me know if this works for you!

[shoothere]

If you go to the Retropie submenu in EmulationStation, there should be an option to set up a controller and it will show the menu you get when first running RetroPie.

Hope this helps!

[shoothere]

My guess is is because there is no core loaded/associated at that moment. Have you tried accessing the same menu from inside a game?

For a joypad it is SELECT + X and there you should see options for the current core.

Lemme know if this works!

[shoothere]

I suppose you mean you open up the retroarch menu?

Where are you not seeing cores?

[shoothere]

Hey there! Glad you enjoy this project!

It is quite simple really (and now I really hope I don’t get it wrong!):

Retropie: This is the actual combination of RetroArch/EmulationStation/Scripts/Emulators/etc that work on a Raspberry Pi. This includes the emulators that Retroarch provides, EmulationStation and even emulators that are not party or RetroArch/LibRetro (the lr you see mentioned a lot).

EmulatioStation: This is the “front end” as people call it. Which is the graphical menu you see when you start everything up. Makes it all a lot nicer and easier to use instead of typing in commands to load ROMs.

Retroarch: This is a distribution and a more “technical front end” which you see when you press the SELECT and X key on your joypad for example. This allows for for greater configuration than the normal emulator settings. Allowing one to tweak controls, settings, cheats and much per emulator of even PER GAME! Wooohooo!

Libretro: Is what they they call an API. Think of it as the base ingredients used for every dish, the dishes being the emulators. It gives developers a common ground which takes away a lot of their work by providing default video outputs and control options, sound options and so much more so the developers for the emulators can focus on getting their emulators working the best they can and not having to worry about all the “standard stuff”.

I hope this is a bit clear and that I didn’t make a mistake in there, otherwise feel free to correct me!

If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

EDIT: darnit! Herb beat me to it!

[shoothere]

Now this is a noble goal and some of the features (especially the Hidden one) would be welcome in any distribution!

Showing kids the evolution of home consoles/gaming as well as them being able to enjoy the classics in this day and age of 3D, shooters and violence will surely make them appreciate the current generation even more (or not! :P)

Although I will not be testing it (too little time to fiddle) I must commend you for your effort!

[shoothere]

@jerseywavesurfer: Did you edit the es_systems.cfg? I am running into the same problem as you but cannot resolve it. Which emulator are you using for snes? I found the lr ones to not work. Glad you got it working though! I hope to soon say the same!

[shoothere]

@jedimaster666: unfortunately per system links do not work either. As stated above not all systems are affected, strangely enough. It seems more emulator related than anything else as switching to some other emulators for, say, SNES work (although these are not the emulators of choice, as one would prefer the libretro ones).

@dankcushions: did you symlink the roms folder in its entirety? I take it you are running 3.X? So I take it your USB stick is read write? The USB stick mounts fine each boot, just as read only. I altered the SRM directory to reside on the SD as the size is not that big of a problem

[shoothere]

So it seems emulator related. I will have a look at the different emulators although I would like the Libretro ones to work as they seem to work best.

Is this an issue that is perhaps being adressed? As it seems some people manage to run them off external drives without any troubles.

Thanx for the tip!

[shoothere]

@fvargasfrank: the ones that were already scraped will show properly, running a new scrape will result in an error. And oddly, FBA works with the symlink, just not other emulators.

Happy it works for you but, sadly, does not solve our problem haha!

oh and PS: gambling games ok but racing?! Come on! :P

[shoothere]

Changing the paths in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg did not work for me.

@momaw27: are you running 2.6 or 3.X?

[shoothere]

Perhaps some additional info after some searching:

The stick is FAT32 formatted, although it should not matter, perhaps it does?

The stick is mounted as read only and I cannot get it to mount as read/write. Yet again I would not expect this to matter but again: perhaps it does?

Is the symlink approach the wrong one? I could not find where to set the path where retroarch looks for its files as it seems online guides apply to 2.6 and not 3.X.

[shoothere]

I can confirm the issue is resolved for me too!

[shoothere]

As per usual you were completely right Mr. Floob.

Pressing Select (Coin) + X (Top button) brought up the RetroArch Menu, under Quick Menu in the Core Settings, there was the option I was looking for!

Found a whole lot of other interesting stuff in there as well!

Thanx again!

[shoothere]

Willing to test but does one use the rpi-update tool for this?

[shoothere]

Would further input from me on the ticket/issue help?

[shoothere]

Port 21 (FTP) doesn’t answer, did it ever?

SCP should work with this client:

https://winscp.net/eng/index.php if you are on Windows.

https://cyberduck.io/ for our Mac OS X friends.

Hope this helps!

[shoothere]

I can confirm going all the way down to 3.18.12 fixed it for me too.

[shoothere]

Hi Swampy,

I made a thread with what seems to be the same problem.

Issues after update to 3.1 (fresh) from 3.0b

I went all the way down to 3.18.16 and the problem persisted.

Which emulators have you tried? The GBA one goes offscreen for me.

Perhaps it doesn’t matter but what kind of TV do you have? We have a Panasonic Plasma.

[shoothere]

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

had no effect sadly

rpi-update bumped me to 4.1.10-v7+ which still shows the same problem.
Which firmware would I downgrade to? The problem mentioned was on 4.1.7-v7+

EDIT: downgrading to 4.1.6 had no effect

[shoothere]

Ok editting the /boot/config.txt and setting the overscan values as included shows it helping during boot but the moment EmulationStation pops up (the RetroPie screen is fine) it goes off screen.

My quest goes on!

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
overscan_left=32
overscan_right=32
overscan_top=32
overscan_bottom=32

EDIT: it seems to be this problem. It didn’t happen before 3.1 though. Not sure about 3.0 release as I only had the beta…b4 I think

https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/378

[shoothere]

Alrighty here’s an update:

the lr-pscx-rearmed issue was due to the BIOS files. I tried another batch and the games load fine now (which I found surprising as they worked up til now but hey, not gonna complain!)

All that is left is the resolution thing. It seems the PSX comes on screen fine, GBA seems off. I’ll try and find a pattern to this.

[shoothere]

From your analysis it does seem I might doubt my BIOS files, although it was never a problem before. I will check that and get back to you.

PS: no BIOS?

Will have a clean look at the EmulationStation interface problem too.

If you have any ideas would love to hear’em but otherwise let me get back to you tomorrow!

Thanx for all the help so far!

[shoothere]

Perhaps I do not understand the usefulness of Berryboot but with Retropie not having such an image, is this project (WHICH IS MEGASUPERAWESOMESAUCE!) obsolete?

NP! I did explain it in a rather weird way.

The code was the content of runcommand.log, it happens for all games, just took this one as an example (tried 3 separate ones).

For the second question you mean running the emulator from the CLI completely?
Or is there an easy way to add a -verbose argument? For I am a bit at loss at how to do it manually.

Well it is odd, as I mentioned the bootup sequence and retropie screens look like they are well aligned, it is just the EmulationStation+Emulators that seem to fall offscreen.
When quitting an emulator it seems to sometimes revert to another setting showing more of the front-end (but still not all of it).

Sorry to be such a bother!

[shoothere]

As I mentioned I did a fresh install (flashed the 3.1 img) and started from scratch, just mentioned the 3.0b to mention there was no trouble there.

I am trying to set it up in an RPi2, no problem on these fronts before.

So I started with a clean 3.1 install.

The only thing I altered in the default config is the storage of the SRM files in a separate directory. Other emus start up fine.

Oddly after trying to boot a PSX game the “resolution” of the front end changes a bit showing a bit more of the interface but still not fitting on screen.

When I try to launch Castlevania- Symphony of the Night I get the following error:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 695:  2398 Segmentation fault      /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Castlevania-SoTN.bin" --appendconfig /tmp/retroarch.cfg

[shoothere]

Yet again Floob you are a godsend!

Thank you for your tireless efforts making all of our lives easier!

[shoothere]

The most common problem, in my experience, is a bad MicroSD which keeps giving I/O errors even after formatting it.

I got RetroPie working like a charm (some MAME titles are slow but still) SNES/PSX/Megadrive all work like a charm and the GBA is also very impressive.

You mention several different installs all fail so my guess is the problem is on your end.

Try another MicroSD (2gb one or 4gb one) and try from there, perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised.

[shoothere]

Much appreciated! Thank you!

[shoothere]

Ok gngeopi was the way to go! Although some vsync issues persist that is something that can be looked at.

What surprises me more though (and this goes for FBA too) is that b4 doesn’t remap the controls “logically” on my ps3 wired joypad.

Coin used to be select and start used to be start but now they are L2 and R2 (which I could live with) but also it uses the analog stick instead of the dpad and some buttons do not seem mapped at all.

Where to begin to fix this or am I missing something?

It seemed to work fine in b3.

It is running through FBA for Pi. I guesss I will try gngeopi.

Quick question: can the BIOS used influence speed?

Ah strange! I thought it did support 7zip. Ah well, that explains a *LOT* hahaha!

Thanx for the reply!
