Obviously a seller himself trying to get others to file reports for him.

@CodeDrawer said in Legality of roms by nintendo.:

Is mame the arcade emulator?

Yes, merged with MESS these days, which supports consoles.

@Capeman I watched this a few months ago, and whats funny is I actually did a T-spin on the Grand Master 2/Mame version... but I had no idea how i did it, or that it was even called a T-spin. Currently trying to beat all of the RetroAchievements on the NES Tetris, just got three left haha. These guys are incredible though.

@buddyscott Now if only we could have match making servers, then I bet the Retropie community would probably explode.

Good to know fellow gamers sleep too!

@thedeathstar said in Is RetroPie the new xbmc / kodi? Discuss.:

The only thing I have ever used a keyboard for was my wifi password. I also had to use a mouse to scroll down during the controller setup in Kodi, but that might have been the build I was using.

Those are the biggest things I had in mind, yeah. The wifi thing wouldn't be quite so bad if it at least managed to remember wifi networks, but what it's doing currently is that if you go connect to a wifi network somewhere else, but then bring your PI back home later, it won't remember your home network at all. Then what makes that even worse is that you need to get in with SSH sometimes to do a safe reboot, and can't do that if there's no wifi, so it's really not safe to run the thing without a network, and since setting up a network requires a keyboard, it's not safe to take it anywhere without a keyboard.

@Muntic0re I started playing it too just 3 days ago.

@UDb23 not without a trademark .

Best you can do is just teach people that they are being duped to pay for free stuff.

@RedBatman lmao so I must change "you" to "he".

"IN STORES SEPTEMBER, 2017" the SNES mini will be in the stores in September too. Soon we're going to have the Second 16Bit war LOL.

@backstander
It's the layout of most PS3/4 fighting stick (including Hori).
But Retroarch has a native option to switch to

Y X R1 R2 B A L1 L2

Very useful for street fighter like controls :)

I could just use a controller for that with a slideing screen I guess...

I agree they are missing some classics. For 20 or so older legacy games it seems to expensive. I already have all the exact games running on the Pi but for the people that don't like messing with this type of stuff it's a good deal I suppose. A lot of people play around with my Pi setup, love it and ask about how it works but where the rubber meets the road they don't have the time, patience or know-how to build one and just prefer the plug-n-play. I see the NES classic edition is going for around $250 US on eBay nowadays, sad but true! :)

@barbudreadmon The price is fine, but I still can't find one for sale.

@cyperghost said in RetroFE on RetroPie:

@pjft Haha ... Well my next was intended to have the same saying.

You all know it, success of a software depends strongly on the acceptance of the users. I'm not sure whose development staff got more members ... maybe ES maybe RetroFE. But up to now the system ES is much better accepted by the users. Time will show ... @phulshof please feel encouraged to try a port and if you let users get the option to install and try out your creation via RetroPie-Update-Scripts then I think the chances are good for a growing community. I think if you find a way to convince our theme creators then the chances for acceptance are multiplied :)

I have no intention of "convincing" anyone. :) I too enjoy choice, and I've always been active to make material as widely usable as possible. That's one of the reasons I maintain the MAME meta XML files for HyperSpin, even though RetroFE doesn't use them, and even though I've never used HyperSpin myself.

RetroFE is a front-end for people who enjoy the "pretty" graphics of front-ends like HyperSpin. It caters to people who often use full rom sets, and who like to combine special collections, like e.g. all Gradius games from different systems. That also implies that it's generally heavier on the resources than e.g. EmulationStation; I wouldn't recommend running RetroFE with heavy video usage on something slower than a pi3. I'm sure there are RetroFE themes that will make even the pi3 cry. :) Some themes even require many MBs of art to be loaded for each game, making the use of an SDD very tempting; the external HDD I use on my Linux PC is already quite slow for some themes.

There's something for everyone here; I'm just hoping to provide a bit more choice by porting a front-end already available on Windows, MacOS and Linux to RetroPie. Whether other people will use it is up to them. :)

@SutterKane Hotline Miami is boss. The gerne Outrun is personally my favorite in Synthwave, which is why I've created lotsa songs similar to the Hotline Miami Soundtrack.

Yikes! I don't think it is worth it then!
