Yes, the GUI has been stripped out to keep it more streamline.

[Floob]

Have you tried connecting to hostname RETROPIE as opposed to an IP?

[Floob]

I’m not too sure what you mean – every game will have its own name, so you can have multiple save states of each game. They wont overwrite eachother. These are the relevant lines

# State slots. With slot set to 0, save state name is *.state (or whatever defined on commandline).
# When slot is != 0, path will be $path%d, where %d is slot number.
# input_state_slot_increase = f7
# input_state_slot_decrease = f6

# When saving a savestate, save state index is automatically increased before
# it is saved.
# Also, when loading content, the index will be set to the highest existing index.
# There is no upper bound on the index.
# savestate_auto_index = false

[Floob]

Set a value for
input_enable_hotkey = alt

then you would have to press alt as well as the hotkey to get it to work

[Floob]

By default the save games will use the name of the rom.

[Floob]

If that is a new install, I would be tempted to use 2.6.0 and try again.

[Floob]

This may help:

[Floob]

copying roms via USB may help if you have limited access to the Pi.

[Floob]

Just checking – the roms arent in here are they?
~/RetroPie/roms/fba-libretro

[Floob]

Any chance you could try a different controller to see if thats the issue?

[Floob]

I could be wrong – but shouldnt that read A_0 as opposed to A_1 etc.. ?
I dont have access to a Pi at the moment to check.

hmm – yeah after thinking about it I’m pretty sure I’m wrong here.

[Floob]

The # will only affect the line it appears on, so thats fine.

This config will only affect control of games/roms that are put in the home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fba folder, but I presume thats where you have put them?

Are you sure the button codes you are using are the correct ones for your joypad?
Which one is it?

[Floob]

You can set options to exit emulator by setting a hotkey, like this:

You can set per emulator settings by using the files here:
/opt/retropie/configs/{systemname}/retroarch.cfg

[Floob]

Info on the FBA GUI frontend here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/pifba/code/ci/master/tree/

Looks like its getting a bit of an update…

[Floob]

I would strongly recommend the method labelwhore suggests.
If you want to do it via the menu, press F1 when in a game.

[Floob]

I dont think it is marked a beta. I’m certainly going to run with it.

Yes, you can tell which systems will accept zip files by checking this file:
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

[Floob]

I havent got stuck into advmame yet, but there is a stack of info here:
/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/share/doc/advance

[Floob]

Yes, you can find it in
/opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg

Here is the default contents:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=e2ivW5sM

You can get your joypad equivalents with the jstest tool.

[Floob]

Longshot, but have you tried a different TV or different HDMI cable?

[Floob]

SO this issue is related to running roms from a USB device as opposed to the default location on the SD card? Then yes, you may well need to re-point the paths as you have done.

I’ve kept mine simple and run all roms from SD.

[Floob]

Have you set your PS3 joypad up to work in retroarch?

[Floob]

Does it work if you set it to force audio to HDMI in the retropie setup script?

[Floob]

I dont think so, these are the only ones I’m aware of:
https://github.com/ssilverm/PiMAME/blob/master/.gngeo/gngeorc

[Floob]

Yes, both use EmulationStation 2 – so shouldnt be an issue.
Personally I’d use sselphs scraper (does MAME as well now!) – takes literally minutes to do a full romset.

[Floob]

Use the 0.138 roms.
I’m going to do an in-depth guide on MAME and gngeo very soon – personally I find gngeo is better at running SNK roms than FBA.

[Floob]

RetroPie 2.5.0 should work fine on the RPi2.

I tend to use an Elgato to record gameplay, and Bandicam to record PC/PuTTY sessions.
Although I’m sure there are some good free alternatives to Bandicam.

[Floob]

I imagine its a permission issue

If you run
“ls -lah” in your home directory does it say that user pi has write access?

You could set it so any user has all permissions (better to set it just for Pi, but anyway)
“sudo chmod -R 777 /home/pi/RetroPie/savestate”

[Floob]

[quote=87576]Take the “#” off from the savefile and the savestate line.[/quote]

What he said

The # sign tells retroarch to ignore the whole line.

[Floob]

Thats probably the problem, edit the one I have referenced above instead.

[Floob]

There is a framskip option in mupen64plus if that helps:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=bpGRzYqX

Havent tried it though – looks like it wants the Rice video plugin as well.
I put how to swap that in on my video.

[Floob]

Could you post your retroarch.cfg as an attachment (you’ll need to rename it to .txt)

I’m assuming you are talking about
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg as opposed to any system specific one.

[Floob]

Hi Roo,

Could you share you gb.cfg overlay file?
Looks really nice.

[Floob]

[quote=87464]thanks floob. BTW – I’d love to see a video with the new uae4all emulator You do a really great job with the vids.[/quote]

Thanks, I’ll get that sorted after I’ve done the MAME guides.

[Floob]

[quote=87457]Does anyone have a fix for muoen64plus only appearing in the bottom left hand side of the screen? all of my other emulators i have tried are working fine, but this one is causing trouble. i am using hdmi to output[/quote]

Some video config options for mupen64plus here as well:
