I think it needs to be in android mode

Not really retropie based, but you could try Demul or nulldc. Just download the zip files, not the installer.
You probably have to reconfigure the bios and Iso folders each time you open it on a different device.

@dankcushions

Gotcha ok. Only problem is now is I can't find it anywhere. What I have found are earlier versions of it.

@silviustro said in Making a custom product using RetroPie:

@markyh444 Pretty sure less than 1% of the people buying something like this would be capable of installing such a script. What about a pre-made image?

Just a thought on this. If people aren't able to work through running a script, then you're going to have a nightmare situation with support when problems pop up, and they will pop up.

Great. I have learned a lot more the last couple of days and feel more comfortable in clrmamepro. Everything is working. Some dat files may have a crc that doesn't match one of the files inside the rom zip, but it works. Also, thanks for that screenshot because you just turned me on to "Hashtab", what a great little utility!

@rion Signed it today, thanks for the announcement. You should mention that this is a campaign of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and the OpenForum Europe (OFE) as those are well known and respected organisations. People can learn this on the website, but some might not follow a link to a site of an unknown operator. Just a hint to improve your venture. :)

I use PS3 controllers with no lag and just this past weekend I played on my cousin's box I built for him with no lag. He uses xbox360 controllers with a K-mart quality 3rd party usb wireless adapter. I think a lot of lag has to do with how the controller is made to work with Bluetooth and if there is luck or good support. I've even tried some discontinued 8bitdo Sn30 controllers that work fairly well but I feel like there is noticeable lag with them although it's not enough to alter gameplay once you get past it.

Do they make a Sega Genesis turbo 6 button controller with shoulder/triggers? I thought they did back when my 66mhz PC used to play Street Fighter and Jill Of The Jungle.

@kikinaak Dunno. Steam and Console most likely. But would be nice to see if this could run on the pi.

@sgtjimmyrustles You will still need to install from a fresh image (It would be possible to update from Jessie to Stretch manually, but it's quicker to backup roms/configsm write the image and restore imho)

You can use this image https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16307/retropie-4-3-15-stretch-images-for-testing/ - it will become the next RetroPie image (with a few bugfixes if there are any issues we missed)

@thelostsoul

I don't know of those right now that haven't already been stated. But I can say, I saw a series of videos recently, one on Streets of Rage 2, that I HIGHLY recommend.

I would recommend subscribing to this person, I already have.

I’d like to add in my thanks as well. Originally I had a few dozen nes games but I’ve since expanded into hundreds of games for multiple systems and I’ve learned quite a bit of Linux along the way. Currently I’m working on configuring a collection of games for ms-dos and had an amazing time playing TIE Fighter last night. What a game, and what a time we live in!

Also, this thing is an absolute hit at parties. I have it set up in a back room next to my kitchen and half the guests end up in there playing Mario, Frogger or Street Fighter at some point. I get lots of questions about it and love talking about the Raspberry Pi project and Linux.

Dreamcast and other consoles had replacement shells available, both official and 3rd party. Might be a good place to look and they would have loads of room for things like drives or multiple pis. I know its probably off topic for this threat, but I can definitely see some possibilities in them.

@beldar said in Is Retropie dead?:

It looks like you've already been answered, sorry about the wait. I don't always have time to check this forum daily.

Oh no no no! I didn't gave enough context, the part about not reposting and provoking statement was to the thread opener, not to you!

The NUC are interesting, but cost a lot more. But I can see why you like them. ;-)

@thelostsoul said in NES PAL color reproduction in le-nestopia:

So its possible with both emulators.

Yes it is. They both even share many, if not all, of the same filters. However, in a few cases, the filters have different names.

Nestopia is said to be more accurate and less problems with sound production

Neither core will run every game, so you'll probably want both if you're looking for maximum coverage. lr-nestopia does seem to handle some of the more finicky unlicensed titles, like 'Action 52' that lr-fceumm won't even launch.

My main question is, what should I set them to if I want a similiar experience like my old PAL tv?

I'm a Statesman myself, so that'll best be answered by someone else.

These remakes and ports are a quick cash grab aimed at aging nostalgic nerds. I have nothing against aging nostalgic nerds seeing that I am one, but these games serve no real purpose.

The Secret of Mana remake is in the same category. It has the production costs nearer to a crappy mobile game, but priced at 40USD. No thanks.

@cyperghost said in Achievements for Atari 2600 games:

HaHa ;) If this would be made than I think @mediamogul has no excuse for trying this in hardcore mode.

How else am I supposed to get the hardcore 'Rage Quit' achievement? It would be funny to have an achievement that registers an exit from the game within a small window of time. It could be called, 'Eh.... no. I don't think so.'

@quicksilver Yeah, I did the same. Took those that were already converted, the rest I went for bin/cue formats. Converting myself never went right.

Thanks for the guide! I'll give it a try later. So far I'm only interested in PCE-CD and Sega CD games.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I have decided to go with the 128gb Samsung.
