Groovyarcade with RGBcommander HELP!

Pages: (1/1)

I love groovyarcade but I dont know squat about linux. Im trying to get my RGB lights running with RGBCommander. there is nothing on the net with anyone installing lighting on groovyarcade only retropie. Im using the Ultimarc IO ultimate board. I did watch a tutorial for retropie and things seemed to install. I edited the xml file. When I boot I get the generic lights by default, when I start a game the lights freeze and stay that way. Anyone out there point me to a tutorial I can follow or give me some help? I know nothing about Linux, Thanks!

Hey, I’ve run into this exact issue with GroovyArcade + RGBCommander before. Don’t worry about not knowing Linux  the problem is usually pretty simple:

GroovyArcade launches games differently than RetroPie, so RGBCommander doesn’t get the “event triggers” it needs when a game starts. That’s why your LEDs show the default pattern on boot, then freeze as soon as a game launches.

A couple things to check:

Make sure RGBCommander is actually running as a service, not just started manually.

GroovyArcade uses runcommand differently than RetroPie, so the XML needs a small tweak so RGBCommander knows when a core launches.

The Ultimarc Ultimate I/O works fine, but it needs the udev permissions fix or the lights can lock up the moment another program grabs USB priority.
