Ok,sorry.
Let me explain the final.
my problem was configuring input in emulationstation.
i didn´t choose a hotkey button, so the system choose the select button for the hotkey.
the solution was configuring input again in emulationstation and this time choose select for hotkey button.
Now the problem solved.no error exiting games
Excuse me.

General / [solved] AM + emulation station - black screen on game exit

« on: March 19, 2018, 12:36:37 PM »

I got a raspberry pi 3 and hyperpie 2
I´m stuck with this front-end.
I mean it´s impossible to fix the problem exiting games in attract mode
When you exit from a game, always the same f. problem,the screen goes black and you only can press control+c and then attract or reboot.
I tried everything, delete rom list and generate a new one, disable fade effects on displays options, audio settings force to hdmi,update everything
I dont know what else could i do, this frontend doesn´t work at all it´s a waste of time :evil:
i´m the only one with this problem?

General / 15Khz hdmi-vga-euroconector on attract mode

« on: March 15, 2018, 05:34:15 AM »

Hello.
I`m trying to show image on my tv with the raspberry pi.
I got a hdmi/vga converter, and a vga-euroconector cable with 5 volts powered via molex (this cable it´s already tested on winmodelines and works fine)

I tried all tutorials on internet about 15 khz on the retropie, but nothing seems to work on my device.

My config.txt (/boot) it´s this, but i tried so many changes on it and nothing changes the image i see on the tv (colour points and no sync).

Code: [Select]

# For more options and information see
# http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
disable_overscan=1

# ignore edid advice from monitor as we're hardcoding our settings
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

# set the pixel encoding to '2': RGB full (0-255)
hdmi_pixel_encoding=2

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=8

# this is how to set and use a completely custom mode
hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87

# use this to set framebuffer color depth
#FRAMEBUFFER_DEPTH=32
#FRAMEBUFFER_IGNORE_ALPHA=0

# disable the rainbow splash screen on boot
DISABLE_SPLASH=1

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2

# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
config_hdmi_boost=4

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

# Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module
#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on

gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
overscan_scale=1

I tried, for example, other lines for pal like this one
hdmi_cvt=336 249 60 1 0 0 0

I tried everything but always the same image on the tv, a colour points (you can imagine it´s the splash screen but only for the colours of this points).
Can anybody help me?

General / Re: Trackball with extended hdd

« on: March 14, 2018, 10:16:33 PM »

Sure!!
Wood box it´s from my mom 
The trackball it´s something cheap, but works very fine. It´s not a ultimarc or something professional.
No words on the trackball, it´s from china.
When you press one of the three available buttons, the light changes from green to red.
Depending on how you position the trackball..the light goes directly (aaaarghh!!!)to your eyes, or to the screen (double aaaargh!!). But i´m happy with it.

The button, i bought the same day with the trackball, (spanish arcade items outlet, it´s a page i think i can´t write the direction here,sorry about that). it´s very hard-pressed , it´s not good for play schmups at all, but it´s good for give credits-pause etc.
The micros are the same than other buttons.

And the tapper-ware, what can i say!?

Awesome! this really fix the problem!!!

4,5 volts on usb-switch power on. And i got this mess working.
ps2 trackball--ps2/usb converter---the usb 4,5 volts switch (aka "the angel")---the raspberry pi.

So, let´s play marble madness! thank you so much!!

Edit:So..in the photo the switch usb it´s powered...here you can see all the materials i need it(not  the wood box ).

Sorry, my english it´s like tarzan level, sometimes..
My problem was the amount of directories on the hdd.
Too much directories, caused a problem searching for the piroms directory.
I solved making only two directories on the hdd.
one file:piroms directory
the other file: the hdd stuff

Certainly, it´s an usb power issue.
But it´s a strange problem..i will try to explain you.
My hdd it´s a multimedia woxter. (piroms, 400 gbs on it  )
The hdd only power on if you connect the power conector. 
When the hhd it´s running on retropie, everything seems to be fine, because the trackball switch on all lights, but it´s not recognized, and nothing works on the trackball but the lights.
Things change if i connect everything on the raspberry (usb-keyboard,gamepad,etc.), but not the hdd, the trackball works perfect.

I will try to connect ps2 trackball to the ps2 converter and then to a usb powered (3,7-5v) switch and then at least to the raspberry.
Thank you!

General / Trackball with extended hdd

« on: March 14, 2018, 04:43:12 AM »

Hi guys!

I got a ps2 trackball connect to a usb converter and then to the raspberry 3.

The trackball only works fine when the usb hdd it´s disconnected.
I assumed it´s a power problem, but i don´t know how to fix it.
Any suggestion?
It´s possible have trackball and hdd at same time on the raspberry?

It´s made for 1920x1080 horizontal monitors.
Marquee, flyer, snapvideo,boxart,wheel and if you routing fanart to your cartart files, you got cartart too.

It´s my first, so i´m thinking right now to add a few things like description and everything else.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IJnnbii8cOspT2n8h3ytKw3CkyT88wMQ/view?usp=sharing

Instructions: extract and place one folder with the three files (.nut,resources etc..) in

Press tab on retropie and select displays and then atari 2600 and then change atari layout for our new layout.

General / My problems on attract mode

« on: March 07, 2018, 07:47:58 PM »

Last day I was installing themes for hyperpie 2.
suddenly, I realised that hyperpie setup screen was empty, and nothing works in this setup screen.
My solution was started from zero point, reinstall attract mode on my microsd.

But I got a ugly problem, nobody deserves this problem hehe

The problem was setup extended HDd.
I never got problems with extended HD, works perfect and its very easy to setup.
just only get an NTFS hard drive, and a piroms directory on it, and that's it, that's all.
you connect HD to raspberry, ❨remember NTFS and a directory called piroms）press setup extended HD, and the program makes all the hard work.
then you only have to disconnect the hard drive from the pi and you will be able to transfer your roms to the external HD.

My problem was that the program doesn't found the piroms directory.
I was near to format the hard drive but the solution was to transfer all directories on the hard drive to just one directory.
I will explain you in another way.. its better have only two directories on your hard drive.
one the called piroms and the other your data.
otherwise its possible cannot find piroms directory.

my extended HD its 2TB. and I got two directories
piroms=550gbs
vengachaval=1TB

I hope this help someone
