This is on my sdl-joymap-C64.vjm

I have a bartop with 2 joysticks with 8 buttons each and another button to exit most emulators (works well on other emulators)

I’m not sure what the below it< I’m getting the button numbers.

I’d like the following to be assigned:

Speed settings&Warp mode
Machine settings&Joystick settings&Swap joystick ports
Snapshot&Quickload snapshot.vsf
Snapshot&Quicksave snapshot.vsf
Quit emulator
Space
Run/Stop

Strange the gameslist.xml file doesn’t show up in the roms/c64 folder.

Did a search for the gameslist.xml using winscp and it came up with nothing.

[g0nz0uk]

First part:

pi@retropie ~ $ ls -lah /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/scph1001.bin
-rw-r–r– 1 pi pi 512K Oct 28 13:53 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/scph1001.bin

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks Floob, I will test this tonight. Thanks for your time on this, most appreciated.

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks mate, I will spend this evening giving this all a try, excited!

Once again I appreciate all the help.

[g0nz0uk]

Permissions look good on the file:

\\RETROPIE\configs\psx\Retroarch.cfg

Pi user has read/write access
Pi group has read access

Are you able to compare my retroarch file with yours?

[g0nz0uk]

Yeah those settings are good!

The Turricans needs space bar.

I’d like to one to also turn warp mode on and off, can hot keys do all of this then?

Think the C64 looks better with the filter effects off too.

Added that theme you used as well. Looks great, although no theme for Amiga or spectrum yet. I downloaded it via the retropie setup screen, I think you can do a manual install too.

Scraper didn’t find all my C64 games, must be a way to manually add them.

Thanks again!

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks, I was just ready this too:

vice emulation – vertical screen issues with a lot of games

What to try the hot keys later, space bar needs to be set to one of my buttons as a must.

Long live the c64!

[g0nz0uk]

Is a manual download best or the auto download one from the menu?

[g0nz0uk]

Hi Floob, I’m not sure how to check the permissions so will Google this and let you know.

I’ve ordered a new SD card and will put the latest version on it.

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks, yes everything seems to be ok, many thanks.

[g0nz0uk]

Hi, mine looks fine, see image, I’m on 3.1 too.

[g0nz0uk]

This is great, will you be adding the Amiga and zxspectrum?

[g0nz0uk]

Found the nabba theme, looks like there are 2 methods to install it.

Found the C64 issue, try going to Video settings > VICII border mode > set to none

must be another way to get the games almost full screen?

[g0nz0uk]

Think I have just updated mine, not sure how I can check the version I am now on, I was on 3.1 before the update.

Also how do I get the nbba theme?

C64 is still having scrolling issues after a reset, will test again tomorrow, I will let you know how I get on.

[g0nz0uk]

Are you on 3.2.1? Did you do a fresh install or update binaries?

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks I will do that and what is the best method to check the version I am on? I have a number of sd cards with retropie on.

[g0nz0uk]

what is the best way to show what version I am running, so I can do a before and after check?

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks, let me have a play tonight, I will keep you posted is that ok, nice to have a fellow C64 Retropie enthusiast!

I need my Turrican’s ! :)

[g0nz0uk]

Doing the samba backup now (10GB), this is great. I also have an old 2.6 Retropie, can I also use this method to update 2.6 to 3.2.1?

[g0nz0uk]

Looks amazing, I wonder why mine is like that.

How do you bind warp to an action button I’d like to do that and bind space bar to a button? I’m building a bartop so this would be great.

Also I love that c64 theme how did you do that.

Great video.

…. Btw I have removed the borders on my setup to get a bigger screen and my pi is overclocked to moderate, maybe that is an issue?

[g0nz0uk]

So this will make my 3.1 install update to 3.2.1?

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks, I just PM’d you.

[g0nz0uk]

I’m using 3.1 from this site, thanks.

[g0nz0uk]

Checksum is fine.

Just defaults to the HLE BIOS.

It’s as if Retroarch isn’t even looking the BIOS folder for these files. Is the path set somewhere as I can’t see it in the Retroarch.cfg?

[g0nz0uk]

Sorry I missed that part, I’ve just looked at the link but can’t see how I verify the checksum, how do I check it’s the right checksum?

[g0nz0uk]

renamed to scph1001.bin and still get the same error

[g0nz0uk]

They are so helpful, a picture paints a thousand words.

I’ve subscribed to his channel – search if he has done any advanced C64/Amiga ones :P

[g0nz0uk]

Floob what a great video, I will try this too as I have had issues. Does this site have links to your videos as it would help so many people out and save time? Apologies if it does and I haven’t seen them.

Would be nice to have a video central hub on here to configure all the emulators for new starters, I had some issues with the C64 and Amiga emulators and full screen mode and by trial and error got them working, well almost.

Also how did you remote onto ES from your Pc?

Once again keep up the great work it is appreciated.

[g0nz0uk]

Thanks herbfargus, you always give an example to help a novice like me.

Now I get further, I have the blue C64 start screen in full screen but the games have a huge black border. I have tried changing the ingame settings without success for my 19 inch monitor. I go to Video settings > size settings and I have tried everything in

[g0nz0uk]

They work on my PC though and have for years in WinUAE. There are no kickstarts as it ask for a kickstart?

Please advise

[g0nz0uk]

Hello,

Just trying this, but I get an error:

pi@retropie ~ $ sudo ./retropie_packages.sh runcommand
sudo: ./retropie_packages.sh: command not found
pi@retropie ~ $

[g0nz0uk]

Just had to turn off true drive emulation in the end, much easier method and games load instantly now.

[g0nz0uk]

Just not saving the settings.

I start a game and hit f1 and make full screen then quit. When I go back in all is reset

[g0nz0uk]

Found it under general settings, but it is already set to on.
