  @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.

  @Darksavior said in Goodbye fbalpha, welcome fbneo: @GreenHawk84 I tested it out on both emulators on my pi4. 2012 seems to have scratchy audio when inserting coins, otherwise I can't tell the difference. Neo does have higher requirements. I don't have my pi3b+ set up to check fps. Update, well I guess both cores aren't so hot on this game. Strange, since other higher end games run great.

  @Devabhai said in Found this LED Blink code from Robert Plantz, but I'm stuck: So this link here goes to Robert Plantz's book to a programming exercise where he makes an LED blink 5 times. But the problem I'm having with it is that he is using a Rasp. Pi 3 and I have a zero. I just got into pi's recently and am currently trying to get my son into it with me. If anyone knows what would need to be changed in order for this to work on my pi zero, that would be greatly appreciated. https://bob.cs.sonoma.edu/IntroCompOrg-RPi/exercises-34.html Thank you my issue has been solved,...

  Best platform for Retropie or Retro gaming? What are you running?

  @sommers9 said in Best platform for Retropie or Retro gaming? What are you running?: However; I'm considering to buy the Pi 3B+ as it's indicated as best hardware according to the installation guide. That refers to the best hardware for Raspberry Pi models, but RetroPie also runs on a PC. In fact, if you're targeting Wii/GC/PS2 games, then I'd advise you use one instead of a SBC (Raspberry or Odroid).

  Does it still make sense to buy RPi3B+ for RetroPie?

  @Spiky Since the pi3b+ goes for the same price as the 4 sometimes, there is no point. While a 4 does require a microhdmi adapter, the official pi4 power supply is a lot cheaper than the 3b+'s. Even overclocked, a pi3b+ will get frame drops in higher res games like tekken 3 and ridge racer 1. They are minor and most people don't notice them. An official pi4 image will come out eventually but the impatient can manually install it from the retropie github. Pcsx-rearmed won't play protected games. Beetle PSX does. Everyone is waiting for beetle psx's dynarec to get finished to lower requirements and I'm not sure if a pi3b+ will be sufficient. Without a dynarec, 2d games are around fullspeed with minor drops on an overclocked pi4. 3d games are 40s-50s. You need a pi4 to run the latest version of snes9x at fullspeed.

  I cherrypick aside from the odd few games I can think of here and there, or if there's something specific I want to play. 100 SNES 50 NES 20 PS1 30-40 Mega Drive 30-40 Master System 40 GBA 10-15 GB/GBC Couple of spectrum, scummvm, Mega CD and pc engine games. I've got a few N64 games but that's more to test what will and won't work, as I have an everdrive and an n64 knocking about still anyway. I tried getting some dosbox games to run but it's so cumbersome it just doesn't seem worth it.

  @mitu Good point. @Dembered I've created a small script that enables the control for Midnight Commander with joypads... --> Midnight Joy! There you see the script invoked that mitu talked about. Edit: #Code Snipplet #Path to script readonly JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC="$HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/helpers.sh" #Key Config, 4xdpad, enter,F10,space,F9) --> change layout here readonly CONFIG=(kcub1 kcuf1 kcuu1 kcud1 0x0a kf10 0x20 kf9) # --------- JOYS --------- # Import from RetroPie setup, uses joy2keyStart and joy2keyStop # scriptdir is used by joy2key if [[ -f $JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC ]]; then source "$JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC" scriptdir="$HOME/RetroPie-Setup" joy2keyStart ${CONFIG[@]} else echo "Can't import Joy2Key Script! Error!" echo "Script not found in: $JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC" sleep 5; exit 1 fi - - YOUR CODE - #Important stop that devil! joy2keyStop

  Thanks for the help guys. I'm not using Retropie at the moment, I'm using Mupen64plus-next on Lakka. My old Pi3B+/Retropie setup wasn't overclocked so I didn't use N64 much. Mariokart 64 and Rouge Squadron are my go to games for trying to judge resolution. Rogue Squadron has been covered and Mariokart has slight graphical glitches in anything above 320x2xx which leads me to think that it ran in low res.

  I bought the 4gb model white official kit from Black Friday. It didn't cost me more than my first Raspberry Pi 3B official kit. Since i compile a lot and create scriptmodules for RetroPie I wanted the 4gb model to use for developing. The kit was bought from a german seller on Ebay for 75,92 EUR: 1 x official Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB Board 1 x official Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply 5.1V / 3.0A, EU, white 1 x official Raspberry Pi 4 Micro HDMI cable, white, 1.0m 1 x official case for Raspberry Pi 4, red / white At the moment it runs a stable Lakka release on a Kingston Canvas Select 128 GB Micro SD card and i tried Super Mario All-Stars. It runs great.
