Hi, I've made the grave mistake to scrape data for my games. Now I can not see which of my 3 versions of pokemon is which language. How can I make RetroPie to display the full filenames again?

Hi guys, I have a problem with the game Vagrant Story im my raspberry pi3.

Intermittently during the game I got some crashes, but just loading the game again solved the problem, now I am stuck in the final stage of the game, so when I try to move to another room the game crashes and outs to retropie menu.

I was asking AI to try a solution or at least a explanation, we saw that error log reports "compile at bogus memory address". So after that I have tried running another BIOS like scph5501.bin without success. Also it suggested to change the "dynamic recompiler" to disabled, I only got the game going slower but didnt solve the issue.

Do anyone has a better solution?

Also I did a game save (memory card not save state), but I am not sure when I could find it. I thought that I could take that one to another system and finish the game.

So recently I've bought raspberry pi zero w and wanted to go with retropie install. Ive installed latest version of retropie for raspberry pi zero w using imager for linux and everything went smoothly. Or I think so. I know this hardware isn't much - but when I'm looking at videos that use this specific model of pi and having installed retropie I realised it should NOT freeze and crash every 1 minute I don't look at it. Tried to install doom, I've connected via scp and imported wad files. So what. When I try to start it it's just gray screen. And that's it. I'm looking for alternative or any info regarding this performance issue. Maybe it's outdated - but I am sure that I've used right tool for it and did it right at some point. But maybe I've missed something. Need help.

Hi,

I have an issue. I saved all my games to usbdrive. I was able to play games on my retropie. However, I needed to access my save file. It was not saved on usb drive.

I checked sd card with ash and somehow all my roms are copied to SD card on raspberry pi and save files are also there. I there a way to keep all this only on usb drive ?

Looking for some help getting my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B up and running on my CRTs.

I already have:

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
• Pi2SCART
• RGB SCART setup
• Consumer CRTs and PVMs

My entire gaming setup is RGB SCART (NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Saturn, PS1, PS2) running through a SCART switch, and I'd like to add the Pi to the switch as another RGB source. I'm looking for the best software and setup guide to get proper 240p/480i output over SCART. Should I be using Recalbox CRT, Batocera CRT, RGB-Pi OS (if it's still an option), or something else? If anyone has a step-by-step guide, recommended settings, or even a preconfigured image for a Pi 3 + Pi2SCART, I'd really appreciate it. I want to make sure everything is outputting the correct resolutions and refresh rates for an authentic CRT experience.

Any tips, videos, or guides would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just re-installed RetroPie (on a RaspberryPi v4), so I'm at v4.8, and wanted to try the Amiga emulation.

I installed from Emulationstation > Retropie > install optional packages > from binary, and it seems to have worked - Amiberry v5.7.1.

I installed the bios files under Retropie>BIOS>amiga (kick12.rom,kick13.rom etc), and put some LHA files under Retropie/roms/amiga.

Relaunching emulationstation - and I do not even get the "Amiga" submenu!

Sorry if I'm dumb - but what am I doing wrong???

Essentially trying to fake a cartridge insert system. I would 3d print some game cartridges around the size or original gameboy carts that would hold usb drives with roms. When I insert them into my case, plugging the usb into the Pi, could I make it so the system automatically starts the rom on cart with the appropriate emulator/ open the appropriate emulator for the types of rom in the cart? Sorry if I'm not explaining super well lol

Hi... im moding a nes rom and it goes with me modifying the palette, which can be loaded usually in jnes video settings. But in the apk com.jabosoft.jnes.14 you cannot load a palette I think. Let's assume I can see what is in the apk, with smali files, I don't find a single result where the palette is stored so I can replace it? Anyone has an idea where and how it can be stored? Can't find anything that says in the code.

Hi all, I've been setting up Retropie (on a pi 3) output 240p on my CRT (wharfedale ctv2185rf) As you can see the output itself looks pretty good through there's some slight artifacting which makes text and HUD elements look distorted.

I have 240P set via the video modes config file, the pi is connected via a pole connector to RCA lead and I'm using the pi_iq_horz_nearest_ver.glsl shader.

Can anyone help me out? It would be much appreciated

Someone just posted asking for the best which seems to be 8bitdo?

My question is more specifically for the cheapest wireless (unless there is a 2ft wired controller) that works for all games no issues. Is there a Chinese knockoff version or 2 packs of quality controllers that are packaged for a deal? We have 3x ps4 systems and only 3 controllers. Maybe its better to buy more ps4 controllers for swap ability for the rare occasions we have company?

Hi,

This is my first time using retropie. What controllers do you guys recommend. I heard 8bitdo have problems with retropie.

I apparently made the mistake of updating my system, running on raspberry pi 3b+, updated after 7 years and now every time I go to access settings this failed script happens. Any ideas for a quick fix or do I need to take flashdrive out and start from scratch?

Besides selling 45,000+ ROMs, how do people like this get away with selling RetroPie?

I’m looking for something. I guess it’s called a front end or maybe a theme retropie setup. I want to see the art and maybe a screenshot for everything that I have loaded up. I have multiple roms over multiple consoles. What looks good? Where do I get it? And how do I get the images?

I have a raspberry pi 3 b+ running emulation station. I built a two player arcade cabinet with two player controls using ipac 2. I can't get player 2 controls to work for my N64 games so I thought an alternative would be to use a Bluetooth controller for player 2 while I use the joystick arcade controls for player one but I can't figure out how to change the Bluetooth controller to player two. Does anyone know an easy solution for this? My coding is horrible so I'm hoping there is an easy solution!
