There is also the Free Heroes 2 engine (Fheroes2) that you can compile on Raspbian and make it work. I have succesfully tested it both in Raspbian desktop(X11) and in Emulationstation. It runs best in Raspbian desktop(X11) since running it in Emulationstation is too slow in speed.

I might as well create an install script like i did with Hexen 2 Hammer of Thyrion source port.

By using the Free Heroes 2 engine you will not be needing dosbox as this will run Heroes 2 natively through the source port.

Let me know if i can be of any help to you.

@connormalc Raspbian is just a linux distro with specific Raspberry Pi bits, for x86 hardware I'd install another distro which might be better supported on the PC. PIXEL is the name of the former desktop environment for Raspbian, I don't see how that would help you, maybe you meant NOOBS ?
I'd advise using bootcamp to try out Ubuntu - get the LTS 18.04 version - and install RetroPie on Ubuntu as explained in the Docs.
RetroPie does not run on Windows and while Emulationstation and most of the emulators run also on Windows, it would take some time to manually configure them to work together.

@Choy We don't offer support for 3rd party images - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@TMNTturtlguy I realize this is a pretty old topic, but it is exactly what I was looking for and it came up on Google. I am just wondering if I can power 2 LED Joysticks this way with the same power supply? or would I need 1 for each?

@Kalamabrew My guess is that you don't have proper/accelerated OpenGL support in your installation. Scanlines (a.k.a. Shaders) don't work unless you're using the gl video driver, the fact that you're not seeing them seems to indicate your video driver is not gl.
Can you run a Libretro emulator with verbose logging enabled - using the Runcommand launch menu, then get the log RetroArch log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) and put it on pastebin.com to take a look ? Do the same for the RetroArch configuration file (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg).

@GDkitty said in EmulationStation asks to map buttons that my gamepad doesn't have:

I am on the current ES (4.4 i think?), and it does not show the message to hold to skip, though it does work.

It does - but just at the beginning, before you start pressing and mapping your input. It's been fixed in the mean time, but it's not yet part of the stable update cycle.

@abnorm999 Looks like a button mapping problem, the hotkey is either always active or you've unset it and then start acts as an exit key, though I don't think this would happen with a recent RetroPie version.
Re-map your button, skip the Hotkey mapping using a long press on A, then - when asked - choose to use Select as Hotkey. If that doesn't work, then please add more info as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and add the joypad .cfg file from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads.

@tu1kfos1 Please open a new topic and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. This topic is 2 years old and a lot of things changed in RetroPie since then.

How are you connecting the devices - do you have an USB hub (and which type) ? Can you check the system log with dmesg to see if any errors appear there when the controller becomes unresponsive ? What power source (and no, a phone charger is not a proper power source) are you using ?

@Chien-Dinh it says drive is too big.

I am running RetroPie 4.4.4, have about 4 or 5 systems running, and that's about all.
UPDATE: Found the issue. The god-forsaken BIOS file was a .md file, I've got it solved.

@Kalamabrew su is not sudo, they're different programs. I understood you're not able to use sudo - you'll have to investigate more on how to enable sudo for your user and then re-do the installation.

Thanks Clyde, I'll keep that solution in mind. I know knockoff PS3 controllers are tricky. Thanks for your help :)

@romanCitizen that's way out of date. Use the current docs.

Welcome to this forum. Please provide us with the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@brimby said in pcsx-rearmed plays fine but lr-pcsx-rearmed has major sound distortion and slowdown:

@barbudreadmon By "read ahead", did you mean fast-forward?

No, read ahead is the thing to reduce input latency

@mitu Sweet, that makes sense. Thanks.
