It's possible, but its also a very involved procedure that involves debugging code and hex editing. If you aren't properly scared away yet, here's a link that describes how to achieve this with just one game out of many variations...

Please have a look at this tread. It describes how to pair a PS3 shanwan clone using bluez.

Have a look at this thread:

I'm pretty sure that it will solve your question.

@glennlake Least I my first one out the way early in my Pi days.

@andré It might be worth it to get a usb wifi dongle or a usb ethernet dongle to connect to the internet to configure your build. That could always come in handy for updates or transferring roms.

@Floob When I try 0 or 2 for the mask_type. the scanlines disappeared.

That sounds like what you get when there's a mistake in the shader and it defaults to what you get when you specify no shader.

Reinstall the files so you've got a correct version and change line 18 so it reads:

#define MASK_TYPE 0

Thanks! You are right. It works now. when I set it to zero.

As the great Gordon Shumway would say, "No problem!"

What a lot of the online videos fail to mention is that they are overclocking their Pi3 for the best results in these more demanding emulators. The Rpi group have yet to release any advisable settings for overclocking a Pi3 that would not void your warranty, let alone damage the Pi3 itself. However, you can find user-based recommendations for overclocking a Pi3 all over the net. I hope you'll excuse me if I don't recommend any particular settings here.

Work is currently underway to improve gamepad support for the Atari 800 & 5200. You can find out more here...

@dankcushions thanks!

@abhikapahi I'm using the official 7 inch and retro pie, both work perfectly. For many games the aspet ratio is incorrect as old school games ran at 4:3 but that's not the LCDs fault.

Good to hear. Now all we need is the ability to play video games while our video games are loading and we'll be set.

No. But the symlinks are there so that you can access the configurations in one place in /opt/retropie/configs/instead of having to find the configs in various areas of the home folder

I wouldn't worry about having lots of hidden symlinks - it's not a problem. You can ignore them.

@Bolthouse I use a 1280x1024 LCD in my cabinet and I think it works great. 4:3 would be 1280x960 with letterbox bands 32 pixels high on the top and bottom. You might try some of the libretro emulators to see how games look full-screen vs. 4:3. I like the barrel-curve shader with scanlines, so I want every pixel available. This would be 5:4, but I honestly, with the curvature I don't notice the difference.

Another consideration is this: If you will be playing any vertical games on the screen mounted horizontally, you might want to take advantage of all of the pixels you can--something that a physical bezel would prevent. You'd be limited to 720x960, when you could get 768x1024. Just a thought.

Hello,

Try this :

Plug a keyboard launch your Pi launch your game (mame4all?) press TAB

You will see a menu and you can assign control. (I hope)

Yeah you'll need to do that through the console on you Pi i believe. If you do something like sudo get https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame.git that should work... might have that syntax wrong but I'm sure someone will correct me.

Good luck.

Ball's up on my part, had the key allocation arse about. Got it sorted now using gngeo and its working well. Doesnt seem to be full screen like lr-fba-next (slight border round the outside) but im sure thats in the settings somewhere so will get it sorted out. Not a massive issue if i cant.

Thanks very much for the help everyone. :)

dont have enough time to do that...

Just to add if i do jstest player 1 controls are js1 and player 2 controls are js0
