Unless you are using a current RetroFlag (NES, MD, SNES) case, go for the 4.

Argggh,
found the reason for the problem written before:
I add the cron for user "root", this is incorrect! Must be for user pi !
root user is not allowed to start "emulatorstation".

@reboot /usr/bin/python /home/pi/mshutdown.py

@tobas i think desmume is LLE while drastic is HLE (http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/High/Low_level_emulation)

@cyperghost said in Would Mario ever steal a car?:

a lot of people who believe that "buying" a mediastream is owning it

Until they learn it the hard way, like when Amazon deleted books from Kindle readers or even whole accounts on shady grounds. The most recent hit in the face of every well-behaved DRM user was the closing of Microsoft's ebook store which will soon make all of its customer's libraries disappear.

I know why I'm avoiding DRM at all costs and prefer DRM-free software, music and ebooks. I "own"(*) only what I can save locally and use without restriction.

(* I am aware that I only aquired user licences in most cases, of course.)

Thanks for everything you do, Devs! Can't wait to see what awesomeness in emulation you bring us in 2020.

@mesprit It's just the way to make things easier. On barely every mashine BASIC will show Hello World with

10 print "Hello World"

The CPU instructions for doing this are different so you might need a different BASIC interpreter for every "system".

But this is also very abstractive - but hope you get it.
Imho you can use a Pi0/1 image on a Pi2/3 revision but you will loose benefits for some optimized emulators. That's what @mitu said in his previous posting.

@Raekon My pleasure, have fun with Retropie. :)

@152adam Just tried it in bin/cue format and the soundtrack is working now. So it seems likely the .chd format is the source of the issue with the cd audio. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this problem.

@BigBadHodad Please open a new topic and add more details about your setup.

In emulationstation everything works normal. So far I tested it with NES, SNES, N64, PSX and AMIGA emulator. The start, select and shoulder buttons only work on the NES30. All other buttons work on both

@quicksilver said in PC Engine Controller Layout in Docs:

Never seen that before 😄

It will probably be the only time

@IanDaemon I think this isn't the answer here. Easier means for the right purpose. So to let a LED blink the approach is much easier to achive with bash or python. For a learning experiment C is also a good choice. But the whole scenario... A Raspberry Pie to let a LED blink is wrong. A microcontroller (of any kind) would be the correct way ... maybe in a C-style language, maybe by direct adressing. But this is only my opinion.

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.

@BillyH my pleasure. That's what this community is all about.

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.
