    Thanks guys. I posted on Reddit and they suggested messing with the service menu. And I got it better by modifying the c-trap setting.

    @catsenti you're welcome just make sure to get the right version of the case based on which model of pi you have.

    RetroPie includes several arcade emulators, including older versions of Mame, FBAlpha and even the current Libretro Mame branch (lr-mame). Take a look at the Arcade section of the docs to see what is available. I think cocktail mode works with at least lr-mame2003 (see Tate mode).

    Sorry for the late response. Yes I did try the option to stretch the image but that did not fix the problem.

    Thanks for the update, it's interesting to follow your way to a working solution.

    Yeah, it seems that it is a kind of game of chance to get the right BT controllers for the Pi, may it be that I was lucky or you and @gpmcty were unlucky.

    And yes, it seems to be either direct connection without the home key, or using an adapter. Ironically, I'm fine with my adapter although I don't use the home key anyway. :)

    I use only one source port, Zandronum. I have heard of GZDoom, Odamex, Eternity, Chocolate Doom, Zdaemon and other various ZDoom projects. Is there an "ultimate" port to use, or are all of them distinctly the same with some minor differences, other than just using different ports to play multiplayer once in a while?

    I think the case looks pretty neat, but the $80 is way too much for me to ever even think about purchasing one. I actually own one of those joysticks with the built-in fpga C64 in it that I bought for $3 at a thrift store, and while not quite as functional as the C64 mini without modification, it's served me well enough, and I plan on modding it when I get a change.

    There's a handy 'cloud' enabled saves storage script posted by one of the forum users - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18712/script-setup-script-to-sync-saves-to-cloud-services. You can maybe adapt it for your needs; it's based on rclone(rclone.org).
    Other than that, git would be easy to implement, but it's a bit overkill for this purpose - unless you'd like to have a versioning system in place. A simple rsync script would suffice.

    As for the file types, I guess you'll have to think if you want to synchronize:

    save states (*.state[X]) memory saves (*.srm) artwork/gamelistst (media folder and/or gamelist.xml).

    @hansolo77 I think the retropie team is going to phase out any new binaries and updates for Jesse. The future is stretch. If your image on Jesse is running fine, there’s relly no reason to upgrade. But if you want the latest and greatest, it might be best to redo in stretch.

    Small supplement:

    I updated steam-link with the experimental packages. Before, I added the PR from @psyke83 in scriptmodules/ports/steamlink.sh.

    Now, I was able to play the dolphin-emulator mith my xbox-360 controller:

    I opened steam on the host-pc I started steam-link in retropie I switched on Settings/Streaming/Advanced Options/Start Streaming desktop and then I started Now I was able to configure the controls within dolphin. I also made a combined hotkey to exit dolphin (In my case the Start and SELECT Button). Switched off Confirm On Stop and Render To Main Window on within the dolphin-emulator Switched off Settings/Streaming/Advanced Options/Start Streaming desktop Restarted steam-link and it worked

    I also installed steam-devices on the Raspberry Pi too, but I don't know if it makes any differences. If I want to play a game with a keyboard, I have to plug off the controller before starting steam-link.

    @pbirke According to the Wikipedia page, the only system that would run on the Pi is the Nintendo DS, other consoles will not run on the Pi. There is a similar game (FoFix) that runs on the PI, but you'll need to install the desktop part to be able to run it.

    @ballboff AFAIK, it depends of the licenses you acquired and the laws in your country. If either of them do allow copying the roms on the cartridges for private use, you should be on the safe side. If not, you're very likely violating those licenses and/or laws.

    @MajorDangerNine lr-vice has a virtual keyboard and you can control the mouse with your controller. Lr-bluemsx works. Msx does have some games that require some keyboard keys. Linapple works but there might be some games that require a keyboard press. Not sure though. After setting up controls you can play a ton of games in dosbox without a controller. Thats the extent of my computer gaming systems.

    @Steaz you'll need to choose the gliden64 plugin from the runcommand menu. Although on the pi gliden64 will crash your pi after about 10-20mins :/ cross your fingers the next pi has a better GPU.
