I use Renamer for Windows. It can clean up file names and delete those numbers you mentioned. Very nice program.

@edmaul69 hi thanks again for your help all sorted, for some reason retroarch hadn't installed correctly, done a fresh install and is now perfect

Thanks for running the experiments!

I'll see if I can make some time to make a nicer distribution with the Makefile set up for Pi, with just the binary, just the assets, etc, in separate zips, that way we can link it here.

Another option to transfer files is to use scp from the command line. You'll need to enable ssh on your pi through the retropie setup to do this. Good luck!

I'm just going to copy and paste what I put in the 'place your bets' thread here... not to ram it down your throats again, just to get your opinions:)

So, I need to understand what it means when the chip is described as having four layers. Is this the 'four cores' that defines a pi3?

Let's say, just for example, I have a pi3 on my counter at work, and a customer (regular and on good speaking terms with) says something along the lines of
"That's a pi, I work for their development. We're experimenting with a six layer chip rather than the four layer version now"
At which point I would, had this conversation happened, have replied something like
"It's rather important to me that you discuss this further with me promptly sir."
After which, noting my apparent marginal knowledge and interest, this hypothetical customer becomes rather coy and refuses to be drawn further on the subject.

Am I to infer something from this theoretical conversation? Which, in that very same theory could well have gone on marginally longer than my above (purely of course) imagined transcript.

(Redactions and theorem due to promises made, take from it what you may)

@redbatman No, but I use a Logitech F710 wireless controller which interestingly enough seems to be recognized as an Xbox 360 controller.

@meleu I did!
Played all the GBA and DS one, and the first one on GB. I have yet to finish "Order of Ecclesia" , that game is too damn hard for me...

@gameguru the only trouble you'll run into is monetisation issues. YouTube is built on people playing games. YouTube has built in code to detect when you're playing copyrighted content and then they automatically put ads up on your video but instead of you getting monetisation it goes to Nintendo.

The way around this is to play gameplay of multiple games so multiple companies have claim which means none of them can monetise on your video as YouTube can't give preferential treatment.

Just in case you were curious anyways... Another way around it would be to mute the gameplay as well I believe

Oh... for easiest plug and play from a Pi, you probably want a controller board that identifies as a keyboard, or as a 360 controller. There are many of these on the market. Watch out for some gotchas with ones marketed as Xin-Mo, there are actually several makes being sold under that name and they aren't all the same (Paradise Arcade in particular carries ones labeled Xin-Mo that may require a fresh kernel compilation).

@acevr6: As @dankcushions mentioned, we don't support any 3rd-party set-ups as we have no idea how they are set up, so if you are wanting to start fresh, I suppose your best bet will be to format your SD card (or get a new one if you don't want to delete what you already have) and follow the Documentation. It's all pretty straight forward and if you get stuck anywhere there are people here that can help you.

I also use universal scraper v2, despite how buggy it is in windows. Keeps crashing for whatever reason, and I need to do a clean install each time I restart it. Despite all that, I found it to be best method for me, since I can edit the gamelist.xml before I scrape so once it's all done, it's all ready to work with retropie on my pi. Even then, odds are you might be missing a few games here and there. I just manually scrape those in ES.

@gameguru see the wiki and follow the backup options Wiki

@sleepyowl Funnily enough me too, just using it as a plug in USB controller but probably still need to manually set the hack mode to 0 (thought that was just a bt thing)
Who knows, lots of playing around to do with it:)

Edit: Yup, even with just usb connection hack mode needs changing to off.

@twd said in SNES Mini Classic Edition:

Apparently it's as powerfull as a wii. so no n64 mini classic on that board.

Well, looks like the Wii just got roasted.

Well, issue solved. It seems that moonlight was bringing full desktop streaming to rpi, giving those lags. It was too fast so i didn't noticed. Solved by using a .bat file on Windows to force autoplay and no gui:

@ECHO OFF "C:\Program Files (x86)\PCSX2 1.4.0\pcsx2.exe" "D:\Jogos\PS2\gta_vicecity_ps2.iso" --nogui --fullscreen

At the Geforce Experience Tool, click at configurations(little cog at upper right corner), SHIELD menu, Add(Adicionar, Brazilian Portuguese) and point to this bat file and you are good to go. In my case, i have just edited the pcsx2 gamestream entry.

Now, games are running smooth.

I have mine at 1450 so far on cpu.

@meleu Ok, yeah if I ever figure it out I'll share with the community. I did manage to get the Lords of Thunder CD game working relatively easily. Not sure why Castlevania Dracula X is any different, but there must be a reason.
