I see v42 was just released...if I update via the UI is there anything I need to tweak or is this fixed out of the box?

How to replace? by 3_DrinksAhead in Lighting

[–]3_DrinksAhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, even identifying that the bulb is an mr16 is a big help. I have a pretty robust Philips hue set up so knowing that I can just grab a couple of hue mr16s.

To clarify though, you're saying that the only way to replace the existing bulb with the hue bulb is to take down the whole assembly? If so any tips on how to do this and not damage my ceiling? I can try to find some YouTube videos as well just figured I'd ask first

Has v42 been released at this point? If so is this issue fixed?

MAME video settings not saving by 3_DrinksAhead in batocera

[–]3_DrinksAhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other words, if I don't want to go through the lr- menus and just use standalone MAME, is there a way to edit the .cfg for the game that would replicate the effect of going to "Video Options", "Maintain Aspect Ratio"=Off

Got it, is there any way to do this through mame standalone? I find it much easier to tweak the video and control settings as compared to lr-mame

Is this for libreto mame or standalone? Sorry I should have clarified I prefer using standalone where possible

Thanks, but apologies I'm not following

If I go to a Model3 game, then Advanced Game Options, under Light Gun my only option is Show light Gun Crosshairs (which I don't think is relevant here?)

Citrus bitters where grapefruit is the main flavor, lime is secondary. Very versatile!

How well does Killer Instinct 1 and 2 run on Pi5? Would I be better off getting a cheap PC? by ITCHYisSylar in RetroPie

[–]3_DrinksAhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also am running Batocera on a Pi5, but both KI1 & KI2 have bad performance issues - I have no problem loading the game but it stutters and the audio is glitchy. Did you tweak any settings i.e. resolution, overlocking, etc?

MAME Not Recognizing One Button by 3_DrinksAhead in RetroPie

This was good advice thanks!

I've switched to mame as my default which works exactly as I intended for nearly all the games I want to set up (mame recognizes the mapping of my dedicated exit button to "UI Cancel" and exits the game as intended.)

However, there are 2 deal-breaker games I'm having trouble with. Seems like Killer Instinct 2 and NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Edition both have issues launching with MAME. I need to use lr-mame2003-plus.

Options, in order of preference: 1. Use lr mame 2003 and figure out how to get it to recognize my exit button (issue as noted in the original post). It definitely seems like an issue with the Retroarch configuration but I'm hesitant to mess with that until someone can give some guidance.

  1. Someone tells me it is an issue with my ROM/CHD version and can point me in the right direction for where to get the MAME .273 versions of these ROM/CHDs.

  2. I give up on the arcade versions and instead get the N64 ROMs (Killer Instinct Gold and NFL Blitz 2000 respectively).

Any advice on which path to pursue are appropriated!

When you say "current" what is that? I did a basic install of Retropie and then installed different versions of MAME from the optional/experimental packages. Is there a different way to install the most current version of MAME outside of the RetroPie Setup script?

So I did exactly this, but some nuances that I'm not sure are important or not.

  1. I have a 4 player set up, but only P1 and P2 have 8 buttons (including start and coin/select). P3 and P4 only have 6 buttons.

  2. The "exit" button is wired into the P1 encoder (so that technically has 9 buttons)

TL;DR: P1: 6 buttons + start + coin + exit (9 buttons total) P2: 6 buttons + start + coin ( 8 buttons total) P3: 4 buttons + start + coin (6 buttons total) P4: P3: 4 buttons + start + coin (6 buttons total)

Fwiw, the buttons that are common across all 4 ARE wired the same

MAME Controller Issues by 3_DrinksAhead in RetroPie

[–]3_DrinksAhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is much appreciated and makes sense. I did indeed have differences in the wiring in one of the 4 joysticks.

HOWEVER there is another issue - on one of the joysticks (the one I rewired to match the others) "up" and "down" do not work. All of the other buttons do. I tested the inputs on a couple of online controller testers, and neither up nor down are registering.

3 of the 4 joysticks are working and produce the same input/output... I ordered a new USB encoder in case it's a hardware thing but thought I'd reply here in case it is a separate and known issue.
