rdhanded2ParticipantI am sory, I am not sure what format you want the info in.

pi@retropie ~ $ dmesgrdhanded2ParticipantI am not sure if I did this the correct way, but I got this to work. I placed the correctly named files in the images folder then manually ram the scraper and used:
scraper -add_not_found -thumb_only
and that used my images.
rdhanded2ParticipantWill do. Thanks
rdhanded2ParticipantI do not use any external usb for roms, all roms are on the sd card which still has plenty of memory.
rdhanded2ParticipantI have expanded the file system. That is the fist thing I do after a new image and I have several gig of space available.
rdhanded2Participanthoustoned, I have 3 pis that I have tried it on and all have the same issues so it is not a pi issues I don’t think.
rdhanded2ParticipantTried a couple different power supplies and same issues.
rdhanded2ParticipantI have another power supply, let me try that.
rdhanded2ParticipantI have another power supply, l;et me try that.
rdhanded2ParticipantThe 3 image works fine with the older kernel but the 3.2.1 image is weird. If you power it off completely it will work but if you go in to change settings or use a terminal to access it then it stops working correctly and the scrolling and nes problems start. The only way to make it work again is a hard power off. Using the menu to restart does not fix the issue.
rdhanded2ParticipantThis is weird. After I reverted it was not working. I turned the pi off for a while. When I came back it was working correctly. I started Super Mario Bros just fine. When I exited it did not scroll on it’s own. I played for a few and power cycled it. When it came back on nes no longer works right and it scrolls again after exiting a rom. Does it somehow auto update and that broke it again?
rdhanded2ParticipantThanks a ton for your help. I reverted back to the old kernel on both images. The 3 is working again. The 3.2.1 still has the scrolling and nes issues.
rdhanded2Participantthe retrousb controller so I can plug in original snes and nes controllers. Shows up as
RetroUSP.com Retropad
rdhanded2ParticipantAlright, I checled them and the kernels were as follows
Kernel for 3
Linux retropie 3.18.11-v7+ #781 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 21 18:07:59 BST 2015 armv7l GNU/LinuxKernel for 3.2.1
Linux retropie 4.1.12-v7+ #825 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 6 18:36:38 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/LinuxI updated the 3 kernel and now it is
Linux retropie 4.1.13-v7+ #826 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 13 20:19:03 GMT 2015 armv7l GSince the update it now has the issues the 3.2.1 image had, scrolls after exiting emulators and some nes roms have issues.
rdhanded2ParticipantThe multi colored square means the pi is not getting enough power, which in turn is probably causing your performance issues. You need a more powerful power supply and it should correct your issues. I use a 5.5v 2a and that works great for me.
rdhanded2ParticipantGotcha. I will get that when home. Thanks again.
rdhanded2ParticipantI will get those posted when I am home tonight. How do I check the kernel versions?
rdhanded2ParticipantI have tested with jtest and it is not sending any presses. I have 2 retropie setups. 1 with 3.2.1 and 1 now with 3. The 3 image works fine, the the nes roms work fine, and the menu does not scroll after exiting the a rom. It is in a dedicated snes case. I remove that card and put in the 3.2.1 image and the nes roms stop working and the menu scrolls after exiting a roms every time. Swap the cards back and issues stop. I also have a dedicated nes pi build in a nes case. Same thing when swapping cards and this is with 8+ different controllers. Only happens on the 3.2.1 build, and it happens each time I write the 3.2.1 image.
rdhanded2ParticipantCan anyone confirm if this is a 3.2.1 bug that everyone is experiencing or is it just redfarmer and I. I am surprised I have not seen more posts about it if it is a bug.
rdhanded2ParticipantNice
rdhanded2ParticipantGlad it’s not just me, as crappy as that sounds for you. lol
rdhanded2ParticipantI just rewrote one of the cards I have to an older image and the scrolling disappeared and start button works in all nes roms so it has to have something to do with the new update.
rdhanded2ParticipantHave to check with someone else then, sorry
rdhanded2Participantyes
rdhanded2Participantwhen you are in front of it try Use gles2n64. I don’t use n64 yet because of such bad playability but that is how you choose the emulator for each system.
rdhanded2Participantwhen you pick a game the screen goes black and there is writing on the top. This says to hit x to make changes. That is what you need to do on a keyboard
rdhanded2Participantwhen you select the game, hit x on a keyboard as it is loading and you can choose the emulator.
rdhanded2ParticipantAnytime. I use them and http://www.mcmelectronics.com/ quite a bit for parts.
Great build!
rdhanded2ParticipantYou can get all those panel mount cables much cheaper elsewhere. Here is an example.

rdhanded2Participantya, it would be nice to be able to set up individual systems and boot directly to their respective game lists. +1 on hoping it becomes a reality.
rdhanded2ParticipantThanks, I appreciate it!
rdhanded2ParticipantI have used it several times on interior pieces for cars and sometimes it bonds great and does not scratch, sometimes it does not. Seems to depend on the plastic so I wondered how this worked. I have also used adhesion promoter first and that tends to help if it does not want to penetrate the plastic.
rdhanded2ParticipantI am stealing your reset button idea. I don’t have mind hoked up! Great build, I like it.
How durable is the vinyl dye?
rdhanded2ParticipantThat is pretty low. What open source project are they selling?
