@Shakz I don't know how to launch RetroArch loading a specific saved state file. This feature is a must-have to start making it doable.

@Septcanmat you can create a remap file and load it on-the-fly through
RGUI > Quick Menu > Controls > Load Remap File

If you post the content of your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/YOUR_JOYPAD_NAME.cfg maybe we can help you better.

This has been resolved.

Their reason for shutdown is a bit vague. looks like some law changed in some part of the world and caused their revenue to dwindle. Too bad but maybe one day someone will figure it out.

Please do contact Steve, mamedb seems to be permanantly gone

@cj2tech said in General User guide/Manual Inclusion Suggestion.:

@ebtalk if you do use this i hope you leave the credit section untouched.

Certainly. I was going to make more visual additions to it. Not sure Kids would want to read as much so my plan is to include screenshots on how to shutdown, navigate, etc.

@LasagnaDevil You have provided no information about your setup as requested (Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first)

Assuming you are on a PC, just do a basic install first - which installs the base set of packages, you can then install any extra ones. It's only something you have to do once.

PR is a Pull Request - when you contribute back to the project - You said "I don't think it'd be that hard to implement, honestly." so I said you could contribute back. I had assumed you based that comment on some internal knowledge of the codebase. Otherwise it doesn't mean a lot :)

Thanks for your reply, Thak!

If I were to try lightgun solutions on the Pi, I'd use a Wiimote + gunmod + this:

Then again... We might try House of the Dead 1 and 2, Daytona, Virtua On and many others via the emulation of their (lower quality) PC ports.

@vbs they were the same before. We flattened the RPI structure so shader previous/next hotkeys worked as they don't work with subfolders

There are some open-source linux pinball games that might be able to be ported.

Nexus Pinball: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=81018
Emilia Pinball: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pinball/
Linball: http://linball.sourceforge.net/

There are some others. Also, these need some graphical love. I might be able to help.

All of the Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, Epic Pinball and Extreme Pinball run fantastic on a Raspberry Pi 2. Gameboy advance has several great pinball games, as does Playstation and even Nintendo if you know where to look.

Don't forget that PSP runs quite well on Pi2 overclocked and Pi3 standard.

I tried them both now, and nestopia definitely has the better audio emulation. Mario 1 dying sounds so inaccurate in fceumm. In the past, nestopia had this strange sound bug every now and then but I no longer hear it. Though, maybe the fceumm audio accuracy might be improved in the future?

And can I recommend having the Unsaturated or Nes-Classic Palette as default? They look much better on both emulators.

@ferdnand You can find experimental packages (including a few Doom ports) following these instructions:

The fix has now been applied:

@synack Hey that looks really handy! Thanks!

@Tao I know, I am a Linux user and I also know Opensource is not the same as free software

@allenpie
In my case it Lubuntu 16.04 x64. I have 4 Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers that work fine with the Microsoft USB dongle.
