@thesilentlink you can look at: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/2091

@deltax5 you can build RetroPie on top of Linux. Check out the official documents for more info on doing that. I've got a little laptop running Ubuntu and it's pretty good. If you put RetroPie on top of that I think you'll be onto a winner. Pi3 is still not great for N64 emulation.

Interesting. I have an old iPad2 laying around unused and could probably use i for something like this. Any pics or blogs to share how you did this?

@anarchobyron use jstest to find out which button is what and then edit the config file to replicate it for the 64 emulator. There's plenty of info on jstest of you Google it, as well as how to manually edit config files to define your own controller buttons.

@lamaman1971 Thanks for sharing. Definitely share your feedback on bezels, filters and the like with the community - there are plenty of people here in search for the perfect set up as well, so the more the merrier!

Cheers.

@raymate have you looked at openemu? Pretty much the majority of the same software

It’s worked excellent for me. A little loud but other than that it’s really cooled my pi off.

@maxxtc if you run retropie on a pc then it's possible to use a ps2 emulator but not going to happen on a pi.

@capeman I'm more envious of that jungle green N64

@gorgar said in wanted any mini pc recomendations.:

I love the pi and its form factor but I hate I always having to skip the majority of N64 and yes I am aware you can tweak and overclock but I don't want to :) but I have seen videos of people running retopie on their PC and the N64 stuff looks silky smooth so I wonder if anyone has any recommendations to get good performance on any of the new mini PCs and configurations that are out? Thinking of the NUC or anything similar perhaps an old alienware steam machine?

Gigabyte Brix is another. But hell, why not just get a Nvidia Shield TV? It has the oomph to run all of those, plus runs retroarch.

This might work as well: https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Z83-V-Graphics-x5-Z8350-bluetooth/dp/B073DYLJG5/ref=sr_1_30?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1509200109&sr=1-30&keywords=mini+pc

@cwacha this is something that has always been a confusion due to the various hardware types. It had originally been left bottom, left top but that was confusing too depending on people's vantage point. It's most telling on the Xbox controllers where physically the shoulders are flat buttons whereas as the triggers are actually shaped like triggers as opposed to PlayStation controllers where the top buttons don't have any physical distinction other than placement. Shoulders and triggers are also more common in most gaming communities

In short: bottom = shoulders, if there only two like the SNES then they are shoulders. Top = triggers

I included the diagrams so they reflect the controls and verbage in emulationstation and so there can be no ambiguity.

it was me......god i'm thick........................

@battlecat One way to do this would be to do the following:

Scrape all of your roms to make sure all are listed in the gamelist.xml file. Manually edit the gamelist.xml file (usually located in ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/<system>) to remove the unwanted roms. From the main emulationstation screen, push start, then find the option in the menu that says "Parse gamelist.xml file only" or something like that. Reboot your system, then enjoy!

This is how I hide the various bios files as well. Of note, if you add a new system or rom, you'll have to disable the "Parse gamelist.xml" option to see the new roms, unless you've scraped them already.

Good luck!

This sucks i named my games like this disk 1 of 3 disk 2 of 3 etc.. like this site says but it still asks for disk 2 and it wont load it in using Uae4arm can anyone tell me how to load 2nd disks

@caver01 said in Best case to keep raspberry pie 3 cool?:

I suppose I could just setup a nice little beer fridge next to the TV and build my project inside the ice section of that.

It sounds like a man cave in the making! ;)

I've never used anything bigger than 30MM which has always been sufficient. I think more important than bigger is managing air flow (if the Pi is completely enclosed) moving air over the components and exhausting it.

Basically seal the case, manage the air intake to keep negative pressure and it will move toward the fan. Like a PC pulling air from the front/side and venting back/top. I've never been a big proponent for positive pressure even though it will keep dust out better.

You could add a 2nd fan for intake but that just seems overkill unless you're a cooling enthusiast.

My case is completely open on all sides with the fan above the CPU pulling air straight up. I don't think much is going on there except it's pulling hot air straight up which pulls cool air from the sides but it runs very cool.

85c after 10 minutes and still climbing, it had also clocked itself down to 800mhz.

That sounds right as warnings (temp gauge upper right corner) start at 80C and auto-downclocking at 85C. I think optimal is 70C or below to cover all components as some of the miscellaneous chips are rated at lower max temps but I suppose that's harder to nail down the temp of some chip sitting off to the side of the CPU or memory.
