@buzz Thanks for the clarification, the wording struck me as a little odd for this site. Off to the donation page, then! o/

edit: And yeah, I see that by using PayPal, the question of privacy is a bit mood. ;)

Mine has to be Genesis "Target Earth" I like the mechs and the whole war feel. Also I am a HUGE fan of "Herzog Zwei" for Genesis. That was AirMech before they took it's exact game play.

@willboxgaming said in Possible new ports on Retropie?:

Thanks for the reply! Im a little lost with your guide... How could I install Neverball on there?

Neverball needs the experimental OpenGL driver and apparently it requires a desktop environment. Unfortunately, I don't believe it can be run as a port in the way you're wanting.

@udb23 Oh thank you then. Just forget this thread.

@quicksilver Thanks, got it now. :-)

Never! 😊

I always find something to do or to optimize.
And actually i have to create a new build based on stretch from the scratch.
At least the renaming of my arcade roms (use to sort them by manufactor, i.e. "Atari - Xybots") will take lots of hours.

Hi,
I had something similar with an LG 55 inch TV. Found a setting on the TV itself to tell it a PC was attached via that particular HDMI port.

After that HAPPY DAYS!!

Maybe it was performance art. Wait, maybe it's all performance art. I'm starting to freak myself out here.

Hi Guys

My Controller is finished and it work very well wireless YEAH

Here are some Pictures of it:

I actually emphasized quantity, but I did so only to an extent, excluding any un-translated games, most prototypes, and most unlicensed games. In my mind, I wanted to create a kind of history museum or archival library, showcasing the console's life through its titles. You can flip to any one console and see the styles of box art, the genres and trends that were popular, the character designs that reflected the era, the relevant pop culture icons of the time, and whatever else. Sure, I won't ever play the vast majority of the games I added, but it's a beautiful and eloquent way to look back on gaming history from the late 1970's to the early 2000's.

Any chance Mesen could be added as optional core.
Since I am using RetroPie on a powerfull x86 PC.

My first impression about the new case (BIQU Aluminium case) is fantastic. It dropped at least 20° Celsius while idling or watching preview videos at around 52° even with moderate overclocking (arm_freq=1300 core_freq=500 sdram_freq=500 over_voltage=2). Before this case, it was sitting around 70° without any overclocking. Now, I don't know how to test properly, but I am happy if it stays stable and cool and if I don't get any over heating warning symbol while playing 8- and 16-bit console games with shaders.

@Drakaen391 thanks will check it out.

@mitu Thank you. That is what I was hoping. I just wasn't sure.

I have had some luck and some disappointment with various BT keyboards working properly with RetroPie. The first two I bought worked perfectly, so I ordered a couple more from the same vendor, while they did pair successfully, the function keys wouldn't work. I noticed even through they looked identical, the model numbers were different, so I requested the model numbers that I knew specifically worked. Long story short and 8 keyboards later, they were unable to deliver any fully functioning keyboards... so I widened the net and ordered eight more from various vendors, four of which provided me with compatible keyboards. Here they are on Amazon:

$14 CyberTech Bluetooth Ultra-Thin
$15 Fintie Ultra Slim Wireless Bluetooth
$20 Anker Bluetooth Ultra-Slim
$18 Jelly Comb Universal Backlit

Clearly most of these are the same models from China with company branding, but it seems the programming or on-board drivers are slightly different per company too.

Also, if you're having difficulty pairing your keyboards, here is a little CNET article on how to setup bluetooth directly in Linux (vs. the RetroPie setup GUI). The GUI method was spotty for me but the Linux method worked 100% of the time! (note: it was sometimes necessary to slip a "trust xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" between the "pair" and "connect" commands)

My work/fail test was to be in EmulationStation and hit the F4 key. If it doesn't exit EmulationStation it was a fail. (some keyboards required a two key press of FN and F4). If you are already in the Linux shell you can type "showkey -a" and then press F4, compare the result with a USB wired keyboard press of F4. If they are not the same, fail the keyboard.

My pi3 b+ came in today. The flirc cases fits fine. I'm using a thermal pad I had lying around from a pc gpu.

@lilbud Determines the person. Gaming PCs aren't exactly small elegant beasts that have a cozy spot in the living room. I think the Atari VCS will bring a nice compact elegant solution. Not a hulking beast, but not as underpowered as say a Nvidia Shield. For its price range, I figure it'll outclass most Mini-PCs in its price range. Not to mention it's running a straight operating system and not limited to the confines of Android or even something like a PS4.

It's something that's not aiming to be the best, but to be the best at what it does.

@drake999 said in Wife friendly games?:

@quicksilver Same here, when I was a kid my mom wouldn't touch video games with a 10-foot pole.

Then you'd have needed an 11-foot pole, "the thing you use to touch things that you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole."

@quicksilver Yeah I imagine that is part of the reason my my 5 GHz band performs so much better. That and the fact that less people in my building are using that band. I use my 2.4 GHz band for low-priority stuff and my 5 GHz band for gaming and media streaming.
