@meleu good find!

@angeluskarl77 No problem at all. Glad I could help.

@BuZz Thanks mate. I don't know what I done....but played around with settings & now it doesn't freeze. Think it was something to do with memory!
Appreciate your input.

@PetroRie

But lets be honest, everyone who uses RetroPie or any other emulator got their roms illegally.

I certainly don't want to come off as a complete contrarian, but this is also a common misconception. I live in America and there is indeed a legal source to obtain just about any ROM you would ever want. I won't go into the specifics of how and where, as this does not carry over into other countries, but there are also a few other legal ways to obtain ROMs throughout the world as well.

About Kodi I think the devs are more worried about people selling boxes loaded with plugins ready to stream movies and tv shows.

This is indeed more troublesome from a legal point of view, but they've also gone on record several times about their disappointment and disillusionment in seeing something they've worked so hard on being almost universally mistaken for something that stands directly against their own personal beliefs.

Metroid - Fusion for GBA will be my game for a few weeks ahead.

@mediamogul it looked like it came out right out of the factory. They were all kept in sealed containers and the collector who owned them died in iraq and his mom sold them to me.

@herb_fargus said in Which retro gaming devices is more powerful?:

@JohnW4086 really? A $35 dollar computer vs $170 tablet... Take a guess at which one runs better

We all know the answer to that, the Raspberry of course!

@JohnW4086 No doubt the RPi is better for console emulator experience. You connect it to your TV, connect a 8bitdo controller and there you go. I dont know but to me it would be pretty weird to use the touchscreen of a tablet as a controller since you cannot "feel" the buttons you're pushing.

@j.e.f.f said in Neon Enhanced plugin for PSX:

@Twitch0815 Is this setting the same as enabling "Enhanced Resolution (Slow)" in the Retroarch GUI? (And similarly, is the "no_main" option the same thing as "Enhanced Resolution Speed Hack")?

yes

@anasazi29 Broadly speaking, here is what you need to do: You need a python script that will watch a GPIO pin (that you have wired to a normally open switch like an arcade button--other wire to ground) such that when the button is pressed, the script sends a keypress. The key you send (suggestion: "ESC") would have to be picked up by the emulator as EXIT. So, you will have to go into your retroarch.cfg file, disable the hotkey function, and set the EXIT function to "ESC".

I know of a few ways this has been done in the past. One of the more popular is to use the adafruit Retrogame software. This basically takes care of the scripting process and leaves it up to you to configure what keys the GPIO pins trigger. Some folks use ONLY this solution for input control.

I also like mholgatem's GPIOneer which does the same thing, but uses a more elegant interactive configuration, then a web interface once it is setup. It is also easy to configure combo keys and to send full commands (I use it to send commands to increase and decrease master volume).

@rufus looks good!

I am tempted as I also love beat-em-ups....but I still have to beat Streets of Rage 3 (can't even friggin do that on the Pi when I can save and restore save games at will - let alone on a Genesis console ;)

It really needs to be a permanent feature

@tyreal90
When/if I get some free time, I want to try your installing Windows 95 thread and then I'll give Castle of the Winds a try!

How do you like wildlands? I own it but haven't played yet.

I am having a lot of fun with it but there is a few bugs here and there. Also I only get about 45m-1h game time a day (or less) but on Saturday I got to play it pretty much all day long and I'm about 85-90% through the game (including all the collectibles). I have a friend I can play co-op with and we tackle the main missions and some side missions and if he can't play, I'll go after the collectibles and the other side missions (he does the same if I can't play).

I'm excited about the future content updates! PvP 4 vs 4, racing and monster trucks! Make sure to watch the Post-Launch & Season Pass Trailer from this site:

@Swagman89 yes IRC freenode #retropie

@XVO
dont forget decent passive cooling for silent running :P

on a more serious note id just like to see a better GPU onboard and maby 2gb ram doesnt seem to excessive or a pipedream considering the XU4 has that already

@JohnW4086 why don't you just try it?

@goodpi31 It's a great game :)
