@ras_oscar I'm not sure what you're expecting to see on a 22" screen that is emulating a handheld that is roughly 3" in size.

Try each emulator and see if that works for you. Are you a C64 era, A2600 era, PS1 era... Laserdisc... You have to decide... Not the "braintrust", as we already decided on our own as well.

I have 51 systems working on my RP unit. I like them all.

@thelostsoul No it wasn't a hack or anything. After some research I think it was just the regular Amiga version and you just have to wait long enough at the main menu and then the vocals in the song eventually start. The Sega Genesis version audio is definitely not as good (though is more nostalgic for me since it's the version I grew up with).

The Wiiu and 3DS emulation scene will be the area to watch for the foreseeable. Nintendo is about to cut off their online stores. Both scenes are very big on emulators using personal copies of legally purchased games and both systems are still 'current' product for Nintendo. Copyright is copyright no matter the age (in as far as 99% of video games are concerned) and scenes can impose any restrictions they like, but when was the last time someone insisted you have a legit copy of a arcade board for MAME?

@addison said in Will online rollback ever be featured?:

FightCade has this.

Please don't use fightcade, they are breaking FinalBurn license.

Rollback netplay has been available for years in retroarch for the cores that have proper savestate support. Obviously it includes FBNeo.

@sewart It's been a couple of months, did you ever get back to your build?

IMO (!!!) Kodi (which is great of course) is allready enough non-gaming-content for retropie.
I am not interested in any streaming of music at all on the Pi.
As said: IMHO

@sirhenrythe5th Yes we can certainly see that with all the annoying “no retropie for raspberry pi 4 yet” posts that happened.

Not a video, but there's an older forum posts on how to create a cheat file that you can load into the emulator - see here.
Assuming you're playing the PS1 version of the game, you can add get some GameShark codes from here, the libretro cheats database doesn't seem to have one for the PS1 version.

Thanks to all the admins (or at least one of you) for the nice update to the forums!

Hear, hear!

@clyde thanks, useful reminder

A quick history of MAME in nine minutes:

@testfly If you have a 'pre-configured' disk with games, you're probably running a 3rd party image of RetroPie, which are not supported here. As for your question, you could start here for some inspiration. It really depends on what you want to play on the cab.

And of course adafruit put 4gb pi's up not an hour after I posted this. So of course I jumped on it. Now, an hour after that, they are out of stock of 4gb, but the 2gb is in stock.
Oh well, 4gb is overkill, but it's better than scalping prices off elsewhere.

@dodonpachi said in Higher powered Pi 4 alternatives for Retropie:

@george-spiggott @barbudreadmon What are your thoughts on an Intel NUC5i7RYH, for my purposes? (IE, Mame, CV1000 and 3D fighters like Soul Calibur and Street Fighter EX, etc)

If that's in your budget it looks like it will be more than up to the task with an STR of almost 1900.

@capeman

Yeah.

The game is terribly mean but still a joy to play.

Expect to grind hard on each level if you ever want to get the proper ending.

All is working as it should now, thanks again!

I install yabasanshiro that is available now on the experimental package and this game working fine so far . Many thanks!

@adamguest1985

If you're good and comfortable with house wiring, I've found the best way to build a cabinet is to install a powerstrip internally then open it and extend the switch to a 20a 120v hard-mounted external switch, like the original cabinets had. In fact, you can actually use the original switches to be honest, they ran on 120v systems. I normally replace them just for reliability sake.

Once you do this, everything is left as "wake on power", or left switched "ON". Even the Pi can work this way, but will need a proper shutdown process to turn it off. Everything else in the cabinet will remain off when power is off, then immediately turn on when the main power strip is energized (Lights, LEDs, Audio, Monitor.. etc... just like an original cabinet did. When I build a cabinet, my goal is Old School.. I like it all on at once, and ready to play...all discrete and hidden so you can't tell it's a PC or modern electronics.

Again, not saying to do this, but I am very comfortable designing and working with power, so it's not an issue for me.

Best,

JamR

@dteam Thank you for the kind words, this means a lot to me. Initially I had plans on doing more with other systems too, but the way I did it was too much work for me and a lot has changed in my private life too. The plans are still there, just with little bit less of scope. As for this document, off course there are things I would have done differently now. But that will always be the case. And did anyone notice the starts at the last "Thank you for reading" page are clickable links to some websites?^^ So guess this makes them to Easter eggs.

Just for the fun and sake of discussion, what games did you miss on the list? Or what games does not belong to it in your own opinion? How many of you are on Raspberry Pi 3 or older?
