@cyperghost It's a solid soundtrack mate, I love it, I stumbled upon it ages ago when going through my PlayStation games on discs, almost made for BGM on Emulationstation :)

@thestarglider My pleasure mate, I'm glad I could help :)

You can start with the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

The fact that retropie works on debian based distros and not arch based distros makes me want to install POP os..............maybe...

While it might not be much to look at... or play, the sound effects in 'Pac-Man' for the 2600 were good enough to represent almost every off screen video game played in movies and television up until the early 2000s. If I'm being completely honest and I divorce myself from the negativity surrounding the game, I do have to admit that the effects are very unique and iconic, especially the death sound.

You can use iso+ogg for more space (edited with cue files) with games who have many sound track and lr-genesis-plus. Turborip is fine for compress in that format.
Chd is fine too and more easy, but more heavy in general. Picodrive use cso+wav but i don't use it.

Two things. First...coming from someone who never had Coleco...This thing is so graphically superior to Atari its disgusting. Second...I figured it out by playing around with it. If you have a PS3 controller just copy paste this into the CoolCV Mapping file on the pie. If you dont like something on it just tweak but it works.

@ruckage So, this theme, did you ever finish it / could one try it out..? It looks great.

Oh, I forgot to mention...

To play ColecoVision with blueMSX core you'll also have to get the BIOS, as pointed out in the docs: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Colecovision/#lr-bluemsx-bios

I've updated the OP with this info.

@sandyjmacdonald said in Rip-off merchants:

Pah. Rubbish. :-(

Hey they give us a fair discount.
From 261$ to 250$ for a Pi3+ with NESPi+ and 2 SFC 8bitdo Controllers and a 16GB SD ;)

Indeed - RuBBish ;)

If you're using an Ultimarc Pac-Drive, check out this:

I followed this post on how to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch without doing a fresh install and it worked for me. But it's officially recommended to do a clean install.

@caver01 - Thank you for your help...basically with the IPAC, you just run the wires yourself instead of the wiring set with EG STARTS kit

@mitu said in Rom file, thumbnail images:

Please add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

My systems? The post is simply asking if there is a way to add an image to a .bin file to act as a thumbnail on a selection screen. It’s not a systems related post.

@AndersHP You mean without emulation? Do you want run the games on your Raspberry Pie or an PC using RetroPie? Games build for PC are usually build for the x86 compatible Intel processors and the Raspberry Pie isn't compatible with them. If you want run PC games on your RPi, then you need to re-encode (means compile or build) for that system. That only works with the source code available and only if someone ports it by changing the code.

If I understood your question wrong, then sorry. Can you clear it up a bit, if I am wrong?

@Capeman Installed it, and played Kirby for the first time. Looks good, works like a charm! Thanks for sharing it :)
