  @dankcushions said in How to use MAME with RetroPie - Help Guide: the only way to ensure compatibility with any random rom would be to include every single version of mame ever released And even so it would confuse users, since they would have to know which version to use in a big list of versions.

  @simpleethat said in RetroPi SD Copy?: On Windows with WIn32DiskImager: Select your MicroSD card via the appropriate drive letter Name you image (I can't remember if you need to include the extension or not, if it doesn't add it automatically you can manually do it later with no problems) Click Read wait for it to do it's thing. This creates a file containing an exact image of the card (including empty space) so you won't be able to write it to smaller cards. The card will be bootable after copying?

  My understanding from watching various YT reviews of the Mega Drive Mini is that the Mega Pi is slightly smaller but more substantial feeling, so I imagine that would put the kibosh on the "Tower of Power" thing sadly. That said, I noticed that Retroflag recently brought out a nice addition to the SNES version which adds a (purely cosmetic) cartridge to it. I wonder if they're eyeing up the Tower of Power and considering it as a potential future product addition to their Mega Pi? Would be nice if so. God I love my Mega Pi. I give it a wee cuddle every day you know. It's nothing weird. Honest.

  Thank you very much for this awesome idea. "Copy all ROMs that have cheevos to a directory." Can we have a option to move the "cheevonated" (cheevolized? :D) roms to another folder? And add Cheevos requirements on the cheevos screen?

  @chubsta see if you can get hold of the PlayStation Mini console. Two USB PS1 controllers are included (but sadly not the analog ones)

  A thousand thank yous! I'm glad I only finished 2 yesterday! Also - I found where to set the bezel opacity: ~\retropie\configs\arcade\retroarch.cfg Changed the line input_overlay_opacity = "0.700000" to input_overlay_opacity = "0.400000" Now I just need to get my spinner working.

  Interesting reading. Which systems that the Pi4 can emulate would actually be affected by the read speed that USB2 or SD cards can deliver? I usually transfer new games from my phone or my PC so my WI/FI and Ethernet speeds would probably be the limiting factor for writing speed for me.

  @matchaman I think it should work, but I can't be sure if the final install image won't require a reinstall. As for drivers, those are usually distributed with Raspbian, so if anything gets updated on that part, they'll be automatically installed as part of a normal OS package update.

  @moltke44 Good to hear that i am able to make others gaming experience even better by sharing with the RetroPie community. As it works good enough, I still think the Blake Stone experience could be even better by improving it.

  @MrLightgun wow Andy awesome that you got all of those systems working! Hope your changes get accepted; that would be a big feat to suddenly get to play lightgun games on all of those systems.

  I should probably just tell you that i did order and received the 2x Tomee NES to USB adapter. They work flawlessly with my two original NES-004E controllers. I have been using them for the past 2 weeks playing top NES games. :-) I am still waiting for the PSX to USB adapter to arrive. At the moment i have no way of testing my PSX Analog controller.
