Oh cool, thanks floob! Just to be sure, I make the changes to the retroarch.cfg of the specific emulator I want, not the main config, right? It seems stupid, but I feel like everything I do has an unintended consequence haha.

Another question: i’ve enabled video_smooth=true in the main retroarch.cfg. However, some emulators, like snes, have video_smooth=false in their retroarch.cfg. If I understand correctly, this overrides the main config file. Why would those be in there if I’ve never set them to be? This is what my retroarch.cfg looks like:

# Smoothens picture with bilinear filtering. Should be disabled if using pixel shaders.
video_smooth = true

I set it to what I want (true from false) and then delete the #, right? I ask because some things in the config have no # and some do, and some have the # then nothing after =, etc. Just kinda confusing. Sorry for all the quetions!

You are freaking amazing dude! Thanks. You’re like an encyclopedia of raspberry pi haha.

Hmm…in that case, I might as well just set it up the way you said. I figured doing that would use more resources than going through wicd curses. Guess I was wrong. Now to see how to turn off wicd curses. ;) Thanks a lot–your videos are immensely helpful btw.

[narp]

That actually does work, I’ve used it in the past! I just freshly reimaged and thought it’d be cool to use th wicd curses. Thanks.

Any kind of help to get me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! I cant really do anything with no x-axis. :( Thanks!

This is such a bummer, makes some games completely unplayable. Sorry to hear you have the same issue, please let me know if you resolve it! Apparently there is a debug code you can run, which I intend to do when I get some time.

Updated to RC 1 from beta 4 and initially it wouldnt save my controller config (kept asking me to input it every time I restarted). That finally saved, but the x-axis (l/r) of my left ps3 joystick doesnt work (since i updated). Also, select+triangle doesnt bring up the menu.

[narp]

Oh that’s interesting, thanks! So would it be better to have the TV upscale or to have it render and output at the resolution I want?

[narp]

Wow, thanks for the reply, and you weren’t kidding…the shaders absolutely destroyed the frame rate and didn’t seem to do much as far as improving image quality. I missed the shaders the first time around because I didnt know you have to select them, I was trying to scroll l/r through them heh. So far I’ve heard no distortion with the enable enhanced resolution settings, but I’ll be sure to keep an ear out.

I wonder if any of the shaders actually do improve graphics but not mess up the frame rate; I didn’t get a lot of time to test them. I’ll test out the speed hack as well, but that seemed to make no difference as far as I could tell for the short amount of time I had it enabled.

I also have my TV upscaling the image. I couldnt tell a difference when I had it natively output 1080p vs just having it upscaled, so I dunno. Thanks for the ideas!

[narp]

Ah, awesome, thanks a ton! I tried right clicking on the file itself but that obviously wouldnt save as a text file. Never thought of right clicking on the raw button! Thanks!

[narp]

Wow, thanks a lot! How do I save the files directly from the github site? As it is, I copy all the text and then make it into a .cht file. Also, when I click on a cheat, it says ‘input cheat’ and then freezes the menu. Works fine if I just turn them on, which is great, but figured I’d ask what that’s all about. Thanks again!

[narp]

Any ideas? It’s kind of annoying for when my children try to play–I have to reinput everything for them. Thanks!

[narp]

Thank you! I figured out that you can’t put only save configuration on exit; you also have to enable per core settings or something. Wonder what the deal is with that!

[narp]

I added in the lines and it worked, thanks! However, there are a couple games that just dont work. For example, crash bandicoot and metal slug x just wont recognize buttons without the d pad. Can I somehow enable it for those games?

[narp]

Er, I seem to have gotten it to work again so maybe I should close this thread? I’m not sure if that’s possible, so maybe just no more replies or anything would work.

[narp]

Oh cool, thanks! Would it just not use the .cue files? Or use them but ignore them? Reason I ask is because apparently some of them have useful info about the tracks. I went ahead and deleted the files that had no track information, but a couple of them actually do have some stuff in there.

[narp]

Github says only .bin .cue .img and .mdf file types are accepted though. :/

[narp]

Thank you! My card was a slightly different version of that, it appears. Didn’t appear in one of the steps so I tried your other link. Method #3 didnt work as shown, so I googled and found your video and that slightly modified one worked better. You and your videos are great, ty!
