  Epic Games Store is giving away Samurai Shodown Neogeo Collection for free until the 18th of this month: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/samurai-shodown-neogeo-collection/home I'll check if there's a way to extract the ROMs from the .mbundle files.

  @barbudreadmon said in Goodbye fbalpha, welcome fbneo: @johnodon said in Goodbye fbalpha, welcome fbneo: @barbudreadmon said in Goodbye fbalpha, welcome fbneo: @johnodon i can't reproduce this issue here, are you using a recent version of FBNeo ? v0.2.97.44 09ae053 There were a bunch of changes that could affect that game over the last few days (added 6p version support and prevented a few crashs that would happen when pressing some buttons combination), maybe try updating to the latest version of fbneo ? You could also try deleting the eeprom (it might have been corrupted ?) named xmen2pu.nv, it should be in the fbneo subfolder of your roms directory. xmen2pu.nv.old did the trick. :) Thanks for the help!

  I picked up this very clean teal Nintendo DSi and PSP-1000 from a Facebook Marketplace seller back on March 15, right as everyone was starting to get really concerned about the virus situation, so I guess this counts as a pandemic pickup. Both systems came with chargers and a few games, but they stank like smoke. Badly. Since they spent more than a few years in Marlboro Country I put them in Ziploc bags with dryer sheets for a few months. In the interim I ordered a new battery cover (which was missing) and battery (the OEM Sony one is puffed up from use/age) for the PSP. Today, almost four months after buying them, they are now out of stink jail and ready for display. They're not perfect, but considering their condition and that they came with chargers and some loose games, I'm very happy with what I paid and am glad to have an example of each system for my collection.

  Great news! (I hope.) As nice as it is to have it at all, RetroPie's launching artwork always nagged me by pausing the loading process without any way to end it prematurely by pressing a button. My own attempts to decouple them from runcommand weren't crowned with success, and @johnodon's solution is elegant, but rather complicated. It would be nice to have a simple native RA function for that.

  An update. Now a simple GUI is included. All features and path are the same, but running from clipboard is new. flips-linux can be downloaded and installed automatically (it asks, if not found).

  @cellux said in Good news regarding tearing and low EmulationStation performance on Pi 4: I got a nice tip though. It is possible to use the old sound driver: dtparam=audio=on dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4,audio=off (and the old vc4-hdmi.conf) Dit you get this to work? i cannot get audio (also not with this tip) I only see the BCM2835 headphones driver, but i need either the 2835 HDMI 1 driver to work or the new kms audio driver. Can't get both to work... I tried dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4,audio=off (with dtparam=audio=on and old vc4-hdmi.conf) and dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 with new vc4-hdmi.conf on both no audio. Does anyone have a tip?

  This is indeed good news! I didn't even know he was writing a follow-up. But to be honest, I'm sceptical. Half of the wonder of Ready Player One was how he described the world and The Oasis. But I guess it could go anywhere. Either way: There's only two books I've read several times; H2G2 and Ready Player One. So yes, I am definitely looking forward to this. :)

  @YFZdude , Read your post. Didn't know there was a 3D option. I had some Yellow/Blue glasses laying around and tested them. They are from a "Konig electronics" 2d to 3d video converter. As you know, these glasses are not perfect, but It worked quite well on a normal monitor i must say. The palette does not work in "anaglyph 3d modus". It all seems to be"white-ish". I will also try my 3D TV with shutterglasses. Seems all the 3d options are there !

  Having gone back to my old pre 5.4 build Retropie I found I needed to downgrade my Kernel due to glitching graphics. Since I have done this I am convinced that Retropie, especially N64 is still running slightly smoother than it did before.

Does anyone know if the Mayflash N64->USB Adaptor works on Pi? They aren't cheap but can be bought, and I probably have an N64 Controller at home somewhere. Edit: I now realise the original post was for a Wireless controller - so I am sorry for muddying the waters somewhat.
