In the tar manual

man tar

--strip-components=NUMBER strip NUMBER leading components from file names on extraction

eg path1/path2/file becomes path2/file

@BuZz said in Dreamcast rom folder missing:

@silverrock you need to install the emulator from retropie setup. (Reicast under optional packages)

I knew it i was missing something...

Thanks

@jay81uk check out Sony vs connectix or bleem and you'll see that not once have emulators been ruled illegal in a court of law. Now if an emulator ships with copyrighted code like BIOS or games like ROMs litigation is guaranteed.

Emulators are nothing more than a codec for video games, just like a DVD is no more than a codec for a filmstrip. Having a DVD is not illegal, downloading a movie, and selling a DVD with someone else's movie on it is. Same with emulators and roms. Frank cifaldi gave a fantastic speech on emulation and why it's been vilified.

It is a fascinating topic. Definitely worth watching all the way through.

Nope. I tried both options to rc.local, no dice (I substituted advmame-0.94.0 and punisher.zip)

I'm going to try and get a PiPlay option working if I can't find a good image of 2.3

If you're running Android, try RetroArch from Google Play Store.

@PetroRie
ok I have network cable thanks.

well going from 4.0 beta 2 to 4.0.1 something has changed. i still can use both keyboard and controller as player 1 but in msx i no longer have the keyboard function as a keyboard even except when i set:

input_libretro_device_p2 = "3"

like others stated

@BrockBoyts Start+X

Thanks! Got to change the mappings correctly! :D

Shame the menu doesn't allow me to map the Jump button tho, it's just not in the mapping options for the gamepad.

I should have been more clear sorry. I was tired :D

Thanks for the fix

You incorrectly edited the file then and broke the xml or something. Open a new topic for the controller issue.

I use this one for Centipede and Millipede (lr-mame2003): HAPP 3" Solid Color Trackball with USB & PS/2 interface.

FYI, problem was resolved by replacing the 3rd party power supply with the official Pi 3 power supply: https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-power-supplies/products/official-raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply

Problem has not returned since, my guess is that the 3rd party power supply had enough to power on the pi, but not enough to proceed past the RetroPie splash screen and onto Emulation Station, hence the reboot issue coming about.

Thought I'd post this as a follow-up in case anyone else falls victim to the same issue.

Understood, i'll have a look. I guess, anyway i need wait. But, thanks a lot.

Ok, I see what I missed.

On the Configuration Editor page of Github, the picture of the retropie page is actually a video, couldn't tell until I accidently clicked on it.

Great video and well done, Ive tried Wing Commander and it looks great, brings me back to the eighties and tron! Thanks for the help.

two more questions:

Have you tried playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Iron and Blood? the resolution on the main menu is so bad no matter what I do.. Sigh

What is the name of the old tv overlay you used on the first video you linked?

Thx,

D

Okay, now I feel silly...

I forgot I had a Network Switch between my Raspberry Pi and my router and I power cycled it and reseated all cables and now my Raspberry Pi is working even though my Roku was working before without any problems.

This issue is resolved! Thanks for your help @BuZz and time on this!

Please update to the latest RetroPie-Setup - and try removing xboxdrv and instead using the xpad driver (from Packages -> drivers)
