Hmm, I havent tried that many emulators.
Is your memory split 384? You can do this in the raspi-config

[Floob]

Some cards are quirky. Can you find your specific one here?
http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

Try a different one for the hell of it.

And you are running RetroPie 2.3 and run the updates?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

[Floob]

Well as long as the roms are from that distribution (0.37b5) and you are using RetroPie 2.3 you should be good to go.
I notice that RetroPie 2.3 has Mame4all-pi as the default emulator for Mame as opposed to RetroArch or other.

You can confirm what is loading by checking the es_systems.cfg file.
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Does your mame4all-pi directory look like this?
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi

(You can output this with: sudo tree mame4all-pi/ –charset X -d -o output.txt)
If you have to install tree, it is:
sudo apt-get install tree

Brilliant thanks! It was marked ‘UI Cancel’

[Floob]

I put mine in here
SNES-to-gamepad.cfg

[Floob]

Hi,

Where did you find the option to exit Mame – I see the option to restart the game but not exit Mame.
I’m looking in the General menu when I press tab in Mame.

[Floob]

Is this the one?

/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs

You could re-run the controller configs here
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

[Floob]

Thats a great tip. Thanks.
The post referenced is now at:
http://www.libretro.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=201

For reference the file I needed to edit to do this was:
/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/USBGamepad.cfg

As explained above, your start and select codes may be different, but this is shown by the keys you have already mapped. Here is my file

input_device = "USB Gamepad "
input_driver = "udev"
input_b_btn = "2"
input_y_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_a_btn = "1"
input_x_btn = "0"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"

[Floob]

Ok, I thought editing the config.txt in /boot would sort it:

https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Advanced-Configuration#vga-mode-and-overscan
http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video_mode_options

but I think its more of a fundamental display issue of the emulation because its not the original hardware – therefore the correct way to deal with this seems to be using shaders?

Here it is with no shaders

[Floob]

Looks like command line can be run from this approach?

Section 5.3
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroPie-Arch-Linux-Flavor

Section gamelist.xml
https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation

[Floob]

Hmm, this kind of talks about it in Windows and linux GUI, but not command line / via emulation station

RetroArch and 240p

Has anyone got their Pi outputting in 240p?

How do you guys not have a pixelated output?
