Retroarch - yellow text

The past week i've found all the systems I use with Retroarch are getting the Menu text come up in the game i.e. I start Hyperspin select NES click on Ghost'n'Goblins and as soon as I press any button on the controller I get "Core does not support Disk Options".

 

Some systems show a different message and some pause the game. Any guidance would be great... last thing I did was install the WinUAE setup. (which I also cant get the 360 controller to work on, although it did if I selected it to player 2 but that's another problem for later) I feel it's taken a massive step back as alot of my systems are using Retroarch.

It seems that for a weird reason your gamepad configs are mapped to hotkey functions maybe?

Can you put in here some screenshots from your configs under Settings/Hotkey inputs?

If you're using Retroarch in Windows, press F1 (I'm also assuming you're using Retroarch 1.2.2 stable version), the main Retroarch menu appears, so follow this:

 

By default Retroarch uses your keyboard arrow keys to navigate up and down, Z is back, X is accept/enter, Press X in Settings.

Under Settings, go down until you find Input Hotkey Binds, press X again.

This is your Hotkey binds, I'm almost sure that your gamepad  somewhat bound to work in CD tray functions or something.

See mine aren't bound to any key so I don't have this problems, but if you see any key bound to these functions, you can press X to bind new keys, you can press any keyboard you'll never using during your gameplay or you can just remove your Retroarch config file and config your keys again.

 

I'm sure it will help.

You have to address Rocket Launcher to your Retroarch config files, you'll have to do that in Rocket Launcher modules configs, under Retroarch module;

Tried that but i got the same error again, here's mine.

I did notice my MESS_BIOS_Roms_Folder was not filled in so I sorted that too now but the error is still there.

Is there any other reason why I would be getting this.... It seems to be trying to find the file in the ----hyperspin\emulators\retroarch---- main root folder and not the ----hyperspin\emulators\retroarch\config---- folder but I dont know how to change it.

Try opening Retroarch again, go under settings, paths and there, put the retroarch config folder in its right place, which should be \Retroarch\Config, exit the emulator and try again

I could see Directories but that was already set.

Oh the wows of using an emulator that is under daily development.  :confused:

 

The current supported version of RA is 05-11-2015, but how can you find that??

 

The problem with the latest nightlys and RL is the "retroarch-core-options.cfg" file has moved from the root of RetroArch to the config folder and the module is looking in the root for it.

 

I've got no idea what that file does or why the module needs it, you have 2 options, neither are my favourites.

 

Option 1. Easy but not overly recommended.

 

Find the "retroarch-core-options.cfg" file and move it to the root of your RA folder. 

 

If you can't find that file it's only generated when you run certain syatems from within RA. Nintendo 64 (Mupen core) will generate it, Atari 2600 (Stella core) won't.

 

Option 2. Slightly harder and slightly more recommended.

 

Open the RA module in Notepad++

 

Either search (ctrl-h) for "retroarch-core-options.cfg" or it may be line 332 and you will see.

coreOptionsCFGFile := CheckFile((If configurationPerCore = "true" ? configFolder . "\retroarch-core-options.cfg" : emuPath . "\retroarch-core-options.cfg"), "Could not find retroarch-core-options.cfg in retroarch directory:

 

Change the above to this.

coreOptionsCFGFile := CheckFile((If configurationPerCore = "true" ? configFolder . "\retroarch-core-options.cfg" : emuPath . "\config\retroarch-core-options.cfg"), "Could not find retroarch-core-options.cfg in retroarch

 

You can see I have added the extra folder above (\config.) Save it and that should go away as long as the config file is in the correct place.

 

My current problems with most systems is getting a black screen unless I have bezels enabled :banghead:

You could also try a different version or the stable release.

 

Gigapig was something I strung together, giga I relate to being big or a big amount like Gigabyte once was. So basically Big Pig.:)

So basically Big Pig. :)

 

Excellent, So if you kept growing taller you would change it to terrapig  :thumbsup:

 

Is version 1.2.2 not a good idea then I thought I got it from the stable section in there downloads , what version is best to use with Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher?

Posted

I hate to interject, but what is this red menu you guys have for RetroArch? I have a green and black menu that pops up on mine...

 

That is what you get with RA 1.2.

If you're in the newer version already and you're using the configs from older versions of RA, to switch for this new UI, go to Settings/Driver/Menu Driver and put it to XMB, you'll get this instead the old style.

last question on this should I change both or just the emuPath... from-------> configFolder . "\retroarch-core-options.cfg" : emuPath . "\retroarch-core-options.cfg" <------- that too

 

configFolder . "\config\retroarch-core-options.cfg" : emuPath . "\config\retroarch-core-options.cfg"

 

 

Thanks again for your help
