Edit: Seems I also have a HD 7570 according to the PCB number - I'll give it a go.

Edit2: Just gave it a go. Exactly the same issue.

what is your GPU ?

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.

Make sure the sync wire is going to the correct pin on the UCS19V chassis (it should be the composite sync input).

If your board outputs negative composite sync, confirm the chassis is set for negative CSYNC and not H/V separate.

Also verify you’ve got video ground tied properly missing video ground can cause weird image wrap like this.


If you want, I can walk you through how to identify exactly which sync the board is sending and how to hook it to the EYGO chassis properly.

Hi, I’ve worked on this issue before and it usually comes down to a configuration parameter that the machine won’t run without when the chuck status isn’t detected correctly. There are a couple of work-arounds depending on the exact SE2200LM control setup you have.

If you want, I can guide you through the steps I used to bypass the chuck-close requirement and get the machine running with a manual chuck. Just send me a message and I’ll walk you through it.

Has anyone else had success using the GP-WIZ with Launchbox/BigBox?    I've been able to get my custom arcade panel to work with Windows and RetroArch, but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to do anything when I try to configure it in Launchbox.  I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere or driver that I'm missing, but I'm at a loss for what else to try.   Thanks for any help you guys can provide!!

I experimented some more and started afresh with a new mame.ini created with -cc.
So I now have a pristine config. As fresh as it can be.
I made sure it finds the roms.
Next to that the only option I modify is: monitor
I tried pal, ntsc, generic_15 and arcade_15 with the wboy rom.
Whichever one I choose I always have the BAD, GOOD, BAD, GOOD ... speed-wise.
There is of course a difference between the four. ntsc and arcade_15 performed best while pal was jerky even thought the emulation speed was 100% in GOOD runs.
Where does that alternating BAD GOOD come from?
Anyone?

Hello,

I registered on this forum specifically for this topic because I've been having a problem for several days now that I haven't been able to solve. And I think I might find the solution here.

If I don't configure anything, I have an issue with acceleration/braking: when I accelerate, it works, but if I release the accelerator pedal, it brakes (that is, the game thinks I'm pressing the brake pedal). The brake pedal is inactive.

So I followed the advice given above and configured both pedals using the "b" key to manage calibration. The system suggested my steering wheel model, and then I noticed that it recognized the accelerator pedal as the accelerator and the brake pedal as the brake. In short, it seems OK.
I calibrated it, but once in the game, neither pedal responds.

Can you help me solve this problem, please?

THX

EDIT :

I've finally finished my setup and I'm sharing it in case anyone ever encounters the same problems I did.

My setup is: FANATEC GT DD Pro + Shifter + Loadcell. With this configuration, the pedals behave as they should, the steering wheel paddles are functional, the H-shifter is also functional, as is the sequential mode.

Very important: Make your .ini file read-only so the UI doesn't modify it. That's what happened to me. I didn't understand why the settings changed every time I launched the program.

Just watched this movie:  Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game

Its currently Free to watch on Youtube



The film is the story of how one Man, managed to Over-Turn the Various Bans on Pinball

Its a good film.  I recommend watching it.  Especially, since its Free  (with adds, of course)
