  @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.

  @mitu said in Doom Pi Project Need Advise: @tpo1990 said in Doom Pi Project Need Advise: Here is another website where someone did manage to change some OpenGL variables in the source files of GZDoom so that it does not rely on OpenGL when compiling. (This might be worth checking out) DRDTeam link Thanks for digging this. From what I gather in that topic is that GLES3 is still required using GL ES (i.e. not using OpenGL). That might work for the systems what support it (like the Odroid XU4 or N2), but for the Raspberry PI the limit is GLES2. It might seems that we have a reached a hardware limit for our Raspberry Pi, which i therefore think that Zandronum would be our best bet to get working. I did also managed to get Doomseeker working as well in X11 and i could see online servers but unfortunately they were using Zandronum v3.0. If we could get that working as well it would make Online multiplayer in Doom a reality on our Raspberry Pi. I tried yesterday with compiling QZDoom which is ZDoom's test base and it also asks for OpenGL when trying to launch the binary just like GZDoom does.

  @srm51555 said in Ms Pacman Delay with mame2003: On another note does anyone know why the GPIO settings on the pi are not always active? The GPIO settings are the same as on a stock Raspbian Lite distro - that's what RetroPie uses undearneath on the Pi. I don't think the settings are 'not active'. It would be nice if one could use the pinout guide, wire in a controllers and just configure in Retropie what button does what, just like a new controller I don't think this would work without the help of a GPIO controller module, but you can certainly do that if you follow the instructions on the modules' installation page.

  @janderclander14 @carlhungus74 @Stuarticus @Aksen @johnodon @thelostsoul Sorry for pinging you all, but I wanted to make you all aware that I missed two erotic games. The games in question are Bubble 2000 (bubl2000) and Pang Pang (pangpang). Sorry for missing them: especially so if any of you have children. Thank Malachiel from our Discord server for informing me about those two games. If any of you have found any games in the erotic, casino, mahjong, or quiz genres, then please let me know: especially so when it comes to the erotic ones.

  @elysse77 said in Do you need a GPU for retropie?: or will the integrated graphics of the 6600k be sufficient? Main issue you might encounter is a lack of proper support for the integrated gpu.

  @RetroFreak89 if you did the wget command as per the first post it's already in the right place. it will be in the 'experimental' section of retropie-setup package manager.

  @leitmotiv said in No retroarch for TI/99?: Anyone know a workaround, or if ti99sim will eventually use Retroarch? That's up to the emulator author to decide or another developer that can contribute the necessary code to the Libretro project. The RetroPie project bundles the emulators, but does not develop them.

  Oops ^_^", I still can't figure out the script. I can run the retropie_setup.sh but nothing can install. I love Retropie very much, rather than others like batocera, lakka, recalbox etc... It gives very nice experience to using it. Really want to make it happen on the N2. Will there be any instructions on the download page like "the Hardkernel Ubuntu Minimal image please follow these instructions" for N2 in the future? Or anyone knows the steps can be shared??

  Thanks @mediamogul - Best I've manged to get is using... shader No.0: image-adjustment.glsl shader No.1:scanline.glsl ...the crt-pi-vertical and crt-pi shaders that I'd prefer to be using look nasty when combined with the flipping image-adjustment.glsl shader (and cause quite jerky play too, I assume because of the extra work they cause the RetroPie).

  I did this with a 2011 iMac (as a test) and it worked quite well. You should be able to emulate dolphin on this machine too, but i wouldnt expect anything beyond that. One thing youll want to do is make sure you start your Ubuntu or Debian install through bootcamp assistant in OSX. This will create a hybrid GPT/MBR partition where it will boot correctly and you can install your OS in emulated BIOS. I think you have to burn it to a DVD too, but its been a few years and im not 100% on that, or if thats changed. External DVD drives do NOT work for this so hopefully your drive is fine...Mine was not and i had to source a replacement to proceed. If you boot from a flash drive it will try to install in EFI which sounds fine and dandy, but your video card will not work properly with that model no matter what you do...Youll get stuck with software rendering and the first thing you'll notice is that you cannot adjust brightness which is cranked to the max by default. The issue is that older macs had a 32 bit UEFI chip which any modern OS that supports that requires it to be 64 bit else things dont work right. You cant even boot windows in EFI on that computer, but linux in general seems to partially work. I think they updated Macs in 2012-2013 so now it works as if it was a normal PC and you dont have to use bootcamp assistant for this.

  @r3ddvil I added "steamlink" and "streaming_client" to the list of emulators in the music.py I think it's just called "steam"
