I think the PowerBoost1000 is 1000mAh charge rate only. The current draw while is use from the battery can be 2A+ (assuming your battery can handle it) with a 2.5A peak draw limit.

One thing about the powerBoost is that it talks about 1000C, the C rating of a battery or charger is normally a multiplier of the battery capacity in amps i.e. for a 1000mAh battery (1Ah) a 1C rating would be 1amp. Talking about 1000C implies you can somehow get 1000 times the batter capacity in amps, which you can't. To avoid confusion I think this should be removed from the description and just say 1A charge, 2A cont discharge.

@RetroPieNerd :_(

@synack thanks !! Will try asap.

@Kristopherson05 You have duplicated your question. You have asked this in this thread:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5145/escape and you still don't provide ALL the information as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

misc_safequit = no

Where have you added this? What guide did you follow (if any) and have you posted the config to pastebin so that it can be inspected?

P.S. I have just read through some of your previous posts since July and numerous people have continually pointed you to read the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first yet it looks like you still haven't done so. Don't be surprised if your posts go ignored if you continue to ask random questions without providing the required information or taking the time to search this forum first.

@Kristopherson05 That's not what you asked. You asked this:

is there anyway to make my joystick and buttons the arrow keys and escape button?

One solution is to use an Ipac2 keyboard decoder. You have not provided enough information (again) https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@Alwaysbored612 said in Newbie Needs Suggestions:

Are most people using external speakers for similar builds? If so, how do you route the power through the Pi? USB maybe? Do you have a suggested product that works?

Don't route the power through the pi. Get a power brick with 5 usb ports on it rated at 3A then from that you can power usb speakers, led lighting and anything else. Use a separate power pack to power the Pi. Se my speakers here. Just a cheap set from Amazon, ripped apart. Really good quality.

@cybermrc you probably figured this out by now, but the cocktail switch only serves to flip player 2 upside-down. It won't induce the initial rotation.

@BuZz thanks for the help, I'll try a fresh install and give kodi17 a go. Not sure why I had neither xpad or xboxdrv installed on 4.1 and the controller worked fine after only editing rc.local

@daeks said in Getting neogeo to run:

i have read both, but didnt know that I am not allowed to rename it.

Well, the fact that the name of the zip file decide which game will be launched is written on the wiki.

And honestly, the opposite make no sense : if you randomly rename zip files, how could the emulator know what game it is ? How could the emulator find parent rom if it needs it ? You think he'll scan up to 10 GB of zip files and/or compare with his database of 10000 games to find the right one ? Launching a game would be pretty long... And what would be the purpose of having a software who put the right file into the right zip with the right name if the name is irrelevant ?

unfortunately I don't remember how he plaied gba, but in GBA ROM folder there are no saves.

@TitQuentin no problem. Glad to help.

@dankcushions Okay thanks for giving me a straightforward answer.

I've been fighting this same problem today. I have a bunch of different RetroLink controllers (Atari 2600, NES, N64, Genesis) and they all overwrite each other. My workaround was what @meleu said. I had to hardcode the mappings for each specific retroarch.cfg file and then I configured the NES controller through ES. The fact that you can hot-swap controllers makes it not too bad. I just use the NES controller to navigate and once I fire up a ROM, unplug it and plug in the proper controller.

I think i have this figured out. It was a zip file extraction issue. I extracted the files again and it is working. Thanks for the assistance.

I ended up setting up a cron job and got this working.

@herb_fargus Sounds good, thanks for all your help!
