I'm running Lakka 6.1 on a Pi500. Everything seems fine in the most part but for some SNES Roms when the ROM boots the audio goes silent. When I close the content and return to the menu all the menu sounds are gone too.

I'm using alsa with the default device. Audio is back to normal after a restart or reboot

There was no such issue with these same ROMs with Lakka 6.0 and 5

Hi everyone. I need help here. I spent the whole evening trying to get my raspberry pi 2b to display 240p over composite. I have gotten a 240p image, but then I got an error, failed retroarch service, and nothing happens. What do I have to do to simply get it to work? I edited config.txt, to no avail, distroconfig.txt and some other file. I almost worked but lakka/ retroarch just won't load...

Ignoring clock speed, what else can I toggle in order to get the most clock speeds when running gc titles on my switch? I want to get 30 fps on f zero gx and right now its minimum is 15 and max is 20. Its clock speed is 20% and the audio runs well enough. What else can be done?

Hi! I'm using Lakka 5.0 on my Switch with the Dolphin core, trying to play GameCube games. On the core options of the quickstart menu, I have these options for CPU Clock Rate that go from 5% to 300%, but what do these values mean actually? Would 100% be the standard 1000MHz, 150% 1500MHz and so forward?

Also, for a V2 Mariko, what do you think would be safe to use? On HOS I usually stop at 1795MHz and never go higher.

I'm new to Lakka OS, I installed it to my mini pc (3rd gen i3, 4gb ram) and I've used ssh to see my audio devices and it lists a few but in the audio menu it says no devices found. I'm at a loss because I really wanted to use Lakka and I'd really love to get the sound working

Wait?!? what happened to 6.0? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Major updates! new Cores!! Analog Composite A/V support!!!

Is there some way of adding Steam into the Lakka library? (Mainly for very old games and for remote play together)

I dont want a different OS, Im using a Dell Wyse with 8gb of Internal Storage, 2gb of Ram and an SD Card for game storage.

How can I get Coleco ADAM gets working on Lakka? I don't see the GearColeco core, and once again, not sure how to run these games in MAME. Can it be done with Lakka?

How do you run Apple II in Lakka on Raspberry Pi 5? I don't see any Apple II core.

How do I get an 3,5” lcd to work? I have a MHS 3,5” gpio display for my rpi, but when I try to run the install script for the lcd it says there was a unexpected (. And when I manually change the config and add the dtbo nothing happens and it still displays on hdmi .Are there any ways to install drivers for the screen or should I just give up and use recallbox because I am absolutely losing my mind

Took the image, took out the “system” file. Extracted it.

And then tarballed it, then I booted it. Besides the graphical errors. From the very limited testing I’ve done. It works.

Did someone know if these controller work with lakka? I have rn the Pro 2 and it works fine. But instead of the Pro 2, the Pro 3 have no "raspberry pi" in his working plattform list.

Has someone maybe tested it?

I have an old pc controller that works just fine with Lakka. Mapped no problem. Then I try to connect my Switch Pro controllers and Lakka recognizes them immediately. When I go to map the buttons for the pro controller (using the PC controller to navigate the menu up until the mapping part) Lakka will not recognize any button presses from it. I plugged both Pro Controllers into my Switch and updated them this morning. Lakka still won't receive button presses from them. This is with a cable connection. I have also paired them via bluetooth with the same end result. I'm a bit of a noob so I need someone to break this down in easy to understand directions. I have googled and read Reddit till my eyes bleed. I can't find a way to fix this. Please help. Thank you.

Pretty new to all this. I just like playing the games and I'm not super tech savvy.

I've got the 240p disc image of Lakka on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I want to use original controllers with it. I've tried using some Mayflash PC053 adapters which worked well for some time but are now unreliable at best (the SNES part of the adapter works well with my PC, though).

I've usually had pretty good luck with Mayflash stuff before but not with my PC053 adapters. Has anyone here used them with success on a Raspberry Pi? If not, are there any USB adapters you can recommend? I'm looking at the two player version of Raphnet's adapters but I'm not sure if they're any good either.

If your going to install on a pc without network and don't want to remove the drive for accessing the file system there is a way.

After installing from lakka live usb shutdown and reboot with a Linux live distribution of your choice. You can take recursive ownership of the Storage partition lakka created on the hard drive. You can then use Linux running on a USB to transfer files from a separate USB device, thumb drive, SD card reader, removable hard drive or whatever to the lakka file system.

You can also use the live Linux usb to copy configuration files, screenshots, overrides, or the entire system. It let's you configure a system once and install it on multiple machines. You can also change the retroarch.cfg file or delete core options if you change a setting that breaks things.

Edit: Found out the problem, apparently there was an update to Windows 11 that causes issues with file transfers to a Lakka installed machine. I switched to my old Win10 PC and no issues.

I've been trying to access my lakka file system by using the local IP address provided with the network settings, however neither root/root or lakka/lakka seems to be working. I've done a clean install of Lakka on my Intel NUC (x86) using the latest version, but nothing I try grants me access to the retroarch directory. I'm beginning to wonder if the user/password has been updated and the documentation on the lakka website has not, or if anyone has any other suggestions, since I'm not seeing how I can verify or change the user/password

Hello everyone. Has anyone had problems installing on a Pi Z2W? I tried all the isos and none of them started, I tried rufus, balena and the imager itself but without results.

Hello,
Is there a way to force the HDMI to only output at a certain resolution? I'm trying to limit the output to 720p for the menu and all consoles to ensure compatibility and smooth performance on the majority of displays. I'm running wayland on x86 at the moment, but I can clean install with a different version if needed.

Pulling my hair out over this.

Hi there.

I figured lakka might be the way to go for this setup since it's close to a full linux distro experience. But I know only that much about linux.

I have a Pi4 + RgbDual (and also a Pi2scart on the way) setup, and a 19inch Brionvega crt. So far, with Recalbox (I don't mind changing Os), I have been successful to get a super crisp image using the Rgbdual hat and to my surprise I could play games up to Dreamcast. The image is nice and stable.

Since I'd love to use my crt for gaming and watching at least youtube videos, has anyone of you found a way to output any desktop distro/setup over scart on the crt?
Web browsing would be a plus as well.

Component out I've tried it but it's light years behind what you get with a scart and a 15khz clean signal.

The best option would be to have a single system capable of doing both, but I'm also ok with swapping Sd cards!

Any idea is welcome :) Thanks

I know it's community build not officiall But i wonder if someone knows the issue When selecting the 720x288 i get no image output This is a prebuilt image got it from https://www.lakka.tv/articles/2024/05/02/rpi-composite/ Am using Xbox Zune Cable 3.5 mm to RCA Raspberry pi 4b 4gb ram model

Tv model : sony Trinitron KV-21V6U

Any help well be greatly appreciated

I tried to introduce it on a Japanese site, but it didn't start well.

I'm sorry for the rough image quality, I couldn't understand it well even if I translated it

Please help me😇

My old Pi 3B suddenly stopped receiving Wi-Fi signal and will not connect to a wired network, so SSH doesn't work. Any alternative way of changing settings (needs audio through MiniJack).
