I was actually able to get this figured out by establishing an internet connection over USB to my mac. The trick was most things I was reading on how to do that was using pi@raspberry.local when I needed to use pi@retropie.local (it wouldn't use SSH over the ip address for whatever reason). I was then able to install gamecon as it could fetch the latest packages and install those. Hopefully this helps someone else with a similar situation.

@kassult said in RPi B doesn't boot into controller setup:

If I remember correctly the B only needs 0.5A so I figured I was fine.

It needs more than twice that - 1.2 A
https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#powerReqs

@pyd in the documentation it says that ps2 doesn't work for pi:

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Playstation-2
"This is only for x86 builds- Not the Raspberry Pi!."

so it (and paths) are not installed on your pi

@lostless said in Copy scrape data from one RetroPie to another:

@JDubbedN
Maybe try it with emulation station shut down by pressing f4. Emulation station may be rewriting the game list files when you restart it.

@lostless That was exactly it! I even remember reading about this very same thing in the RetroPie wiki but had completely forgotten about it. Pressing F4 to close down Emulation Station and then transferring the respective files/folders over works perfectly. Thank you!

I've never really looked into the PiZero past it's initial announcement. With it's extreme low cost, compatibility with Pi1 projects and it's small size, the benefits do actually seem to outweigh the negatives. However, I remember very well that I never could push the Pi1 as much as I would have liked and I can't imagine being satisfied running a RetroPie installation on it. All that said, it's hard to deny just how awesome the plug and play RetroPie SNES controller mods are.

you can try with UXS : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5291/soft-universal-xml-scraper-v2-easy-scrape-with-high-quality-picture

please use proper code block formatting and descriptive post titles :)

I tried to setup a script and possible extension for retropie here: https://github.com/daeks/jslisten-abort
The intention of this extension is to be able to kill all emulators only with a controller (for example: scummvm if you have no keyboard available)

Unfortunately emulators like scummvm are started with bash script. Is there a better way to fetch the binary for such emulators?

@dankcushions

Thank you. :-)

@BuZz No overclocked, dmesg say "Out of memory: Kill process 27546 (cc1plus) score 413 or sacrifice child". The complete dmesg: http://pastebin.com/jTHKLBQr.
I'm trying with lightdm disabled. Thanks.
Edit: Fail without lightdm, I will try with multiboot.

@windale Hi, thanks a lot, works perfect!

@dsstrainer yup. Glad to help

@Yamt short answer no - you will have to remap it to another button (for that particular emulator/game).

@irish620 I personally bought the second link, and I haven't had any problems and it's almost been a year now. The disc came destroyed but the drivers are taken care of on the pi anyhow so it didn't make a difference

Even if it is 6 Month ago - I'll post my advice here (instead of opening a new topic):

Just rename the .iso to .bin and edit the .cue file to match the new filename of the renamed track (Works in RetroPie 4.1 with both lr-* emulators).

Keep in mind: changing the file extension does NOT convert the iso to a bin file, it still is containertype iso just renamed to bin... wait, Just tried, you can change the extension to "anything", as an example .!iso won't be shown by ES but still be loaded if referenced in the .cue (And with such a file-extension one will be reminded that it is a track in iso format) ;)

If the scraped information was associated with the .cue everything should be fine, if it was scraped for the .iso I am not sure (There are some scraping issues for the amiga and the using of .uae files instead of .adfs thats ringing a bell in this context) - sorry, haven't done a complete scraping run yet - just tried it out with selecting cd-title (.cue) -> edit metadata -> scrap, and that worked fine...
