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 :)

@marecare Yeah you will get a lot of down votes, because asking for roms is not allowed in this forum. Wii games aren't playable on Raspberry Pi 3, even Nintendo 64 is very buggy and problematic. So, the answer is no-no (as said already above).

@dankcushions I see now. Thanks.

What specifically is it doing with Emulation station? Is there someplace in the scripts where I can swap out the executable from ES to attract?

@ledow I understand it now, thank you for clarification. That's too bad we won't get a machine (not talking about PC) anytime soon to emulate both N64 and Dreamcast well enough for them to be as playable as on original consoles. I guess for newer titles you would just have to go for new generation consoles such as PS4 or so and play newer versions of each N64 game, if such exists.

But what I hate about all this new console stuff is that you can no longer play as easily as you could do it back in the days. Internet is a must for nearly everything, micropayments everywhere even though you bought a full version of the game. And controllers are already a mess in my opinion since PS2 - nothing like the ones for SNES with just couple keys necessary to play. I get it where they come from but I still feel much more comfortable with my good old RetroPad.

@BJRetro Thanks. I'll look into these when I get time. At the moment I'm going through the N64 library with poor results so far but still there are couple playable games already.

It took some time, but I finally came across a working .pbp image. Thanks for your input. :-)

I saw this several days ago for a project of Final Fantasy 7 HD version: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18549.0

I doubt this would be usable in realtime, probably in form of a HD download patch. The new graphics card are starting to implement AI co-processors, maybe this is possible in the future. The results are really astonishing!

This is just about the coolest hack ever! Get ready to play Super Mario Bros the same way you play Mario Wii.... by inadvertently killing your co-op partner ever 30 seconds! This is just awesome and so much fun! It gets really hard on later levels! Google this on romhacking.net!

thanks Cyberghost. Jumped over to your suggested thread and giving that a shot.
