Emulators / Re: ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES NOT WORKING

« on: December 14, 2025, 06:23:50 AM »

Hey Firefoxian, that's a tricky one! I've had similar issues with environment variables not resolving as expected in RetroArch. It could be how the program handles variable expansion. Sometimes, a workaround is to use absolute paths instead. If you're looking for a fun distraction while debugging, maybe take a quick break and play Snow Rider 3D? Might clear your head and spark a solution! Hope you figure it out.

Environment variables often fail because the frontend launches the executable directly without invoking the Windows shell

Emulators / Re: How To : Play Sony PlayStation 1 With RetroArch Using The Duck Station Core

« on: December 14, 2025, 06:22:39 AM »

If the game doesn't run, check:

Is the path correct? (Is there a case misspelled, or a missing slash)

Is there an .exe at the end of the RetroArch path?

Is there a ; between file extensions?

Is the BIOS name and directory correct?

Good checklist, but users should be aware that the DuckStation core is now called SwanStation in the RetroArch downloader

Ran into an AVX2 QT launch error too — looks like a common issue right now. Hoping for a quick fix in future builds. Still love how far PCSX2 has come! Wacky Flip

Just remove the --fullscreen and --nogui flags from your config and it works perfectly

I was having this issue, and since I did not see a reply or an easy to find solution... I figured I'd share what resolved it for me. This unanswered post popped up as the first google result when I searched for these symptoms.

I went into the "General" settings for Attract Mode and changed the "Window Mode" option to "Fullscreen Mode".

Goddamned legend

Most people fix it and never post back leaving a graveyard of "nvm fixed it" threads so this guy is a saint

It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with the game descriptions in Attract-Mode. Have you tried refreshing the Romlist or checking if the paths to the cfg files are correctly set in the settings? informacijski sistemi Sometimes a simple re-scan can resolve these kinds of problems. https://pharma-hemp.com/sl/kategorija-izdelka/izbiraj-med-izdelki/kapljice/ If that doesn’t work, the community might have some additional insights or solutions!

Good standard troubleshooting advice. The original poster had confirmed paths and re-scans were not the solution, leading the discussion toward using external scraping tools like Skyscraper or waiting for the updated history.dat parser plugin.

AttractMode uses SDL for input. If SDL detects a joystick at startup, https://atelierrebul.si/shop/category/parfumi-zenski-parfumi-74 it might change how it listens to input events, possibly requiring the joystick to “wake up” before other devices register. pehd cevi

Two common workarounds people use in setups like AttractMode are:

Disable joystick support in SDL (via config or compile flag) if you don’t actually need it.

Force a joystick event early (e.g., move a stick or press a button once) so SDL initializes the rest of the event loop properly.

You're right: a custom script solution is a good approach for this situation. https://atelierrebul.si/ Even if your script isn't perfect, oprema za dom it's valuable to share it and find ways to improve it.

Poor Bunny is a wonderful blend of cuteness and chaos. https://kuhinje-nemec.com/kuhinjski-pulti/kamniti-pulti/ I really enjoy how simple the concept is—just collect carrots and survive—but the random traps keep you on edge. https://pharma-hemp.com/sl/kategorija-izdelka/izbiraj-med-izdelki/kapljice/ It’s the kind of game where one mistake can end your run, but that makes it so exciting to try again and beat your score.

Poor Bunny is deceptively addictive.

You can print the value of game_name to verify it matches the filename, https://kuhinje-nemec.com/kuhinje/moderne-kuhinje/ or use Info. https://www.vaipaz-travel.com/things-to-do/hiking-tours Title instead if it better matches your filenames.

Double-check game_name by printing it but don’t sleep on Info.

I just starting using this feature and love it!

But i'm unable to get Horizontal_Right and any of the Vertical options to function. Atelier Rebul

I've searched this forun as best i can, but unable to find out what i'm doing wrong.
Any advice?

Thank you all!

Feels like a demo reel with commitment issues

Scripting / Re: Ultimarc Servo-Stik plugin for Linux

« on: April 15, 2025, 02:16:08 AM »

In case anyone is interested, there is also an app called LEDSpicer that handles mode switching for ServoStiks, https://kuhinje-nemec.com/ U360s, GGG Rotary and GGG 49-ways based on rom choice or via manual control (it handles LED stuff too). It's not my app, https://atelierrebul.si/shop/category/parfumi-moski-parfumi-75 but I work with the author of it from time to time on documentation and testing. I did some work on the documentation for RGBCommander as well and have used both extensively.

https://sourceforge.net/p/ledspicer/wiki/Home/
https://sourceforge.net/p/ledspicer/wiki/Deployment/

There are some interesting features like the ability to design interactive LED lighting based on inputs. Like.... coin light flashes until a coin is inserted, and then player 1 flashes until pressed. It has support for MAME's output system too, which works great with stuff like blinking LEDs in DigDug and Galaga, or the knocker feature from Qbert. Just know, to use that feature you'd need to be using MAME versions over 188 or so. 188 manages to run old roms like DigDug and Galaga at fullspeed on my Rpi3b+ (as long as I'm not running a monitor in high resolution).

Anyway, sorry for the old topic bump, but I was searching for something and figured it'd be useful to have this info here.

I can't get either of these to work...
I can activate the servos manually with SETSERVOSTIK from command line... but i can't get anything to happen while in attract mode (groovyarcade/arch)
I've generated the romlist and called it arcade.txt as well as mame.txt and put them in the romlists folder (is this the correct filename? does the script look at this filename?)

Ended up getting LEDSpicer working after an issue was fixed through github
Would be good to know what the issue is with RGBc though...

Yes, romlist filename matters.
