    @Cole_48 This is the best I can offer and it worked for me...

    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1722/if-you-have-purchased-an-ipac2-and-want-to-save-time

    I contacted Andy at Ultimarc and he sent me a new firmware but he is frustrated by requests as he says there is a bug in Retropie that prevents the device from being detected as a keyboard during auto configure. I haven't updated mine yet as it's working based on my above order of connection. However, you will get messages that say ipac not configured which is ok if you want gamepads too. I think I stumbled on this solution but it works for my requirements.

    This is an issue that has plagued retropie since release and seems to be the elephant in the room no-one wants to talk about or address

    I have a Samsung Smart TV and have no problem with sound, I also know people with Sony Brands that can't get sound...

    I had to add this to the /boot/config.txt/ for audio to work on my tv:

    hdmi_force_edie_audio=1

    If that doesnt work try uncommenting:

    hdmi_drive=2

    Please note they both cant be running at the same time. You have to comment out one when you run the other

  • Advice if stand-alone installation or on top of RASPBIAN

    Meneer JansenM

    I use NOOBS to create a dual boot SD card for OpenElec (i.e. Kodi media Center) and Raspbian. In Raspbian I installed RetroPie via the script (link). You have to manually get Raspbian to NOT startup without a graphical user interface (i.e. not start LXDE automatically).

    P.S. My "Help files" for personal use (copy and paste into a text doc):

    o==========o
    | Contents |
    o==========o

    A. Install

    B. Partitions

    C. PAL Television

    D. Tips

    X. References
    -<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-

    o============o
    | A. Install |
    o============o

    Format SD card (as fat32)
    (www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/noobs.md)

    Extract Noobs zip file w/ 7Zip (!).
    7z x ./NOOBS_v1_7_0.zip -onoobsextracted

    Drop Noobs files on sd card an boot.

    Usernames/Passwords: Raspbian = pi/raspberry; OpenElec: root/openelec.

    o===============o
    | B. Partitions |
    o===============o
    Noobs installs wo operating systems that do NOT share their boot partitions, contrary to Berryboot. That means that RetroPie can start up w/ a Pi firmware version with which it will work (the Pi's firmware is on the boot partition).

    Say your Noobs SD card is /dev/sdx, then these are the partitions:

    Part. | Distro | Size | Partition name/Remarks
    ||________|_______________________________________
    sdx1 | NOOBS | 3,4 GB | Recovery. Holds the images of the orig.
    | | | install CD's. FAT16 partition.
    | | |
    sdx2 | | | Extended partition containing sdx5 to 9.
    | | |
    sdx3 | | | Left blank to define as primary partition.
    | | |
    sdx4 | | | Left blank to define as primary partition.
    | | |
    sdx5 | NOOBS | 30 MB | Settings
    | | |
    sdx6 | Raspbian | 63 MB | boot (RetroPie)
    | | |
    sdx7 | Raspbian | 9,6 GB | root (RetroPie)
    | | |
    sdx8 | OpenElec | 160 MB | boot
    | | |
    sdx9 | OpenElec | 1,6 GB | userspace
    ||________|_______________________________________

    | C. PAL Television |
    o===================o
    [http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/13803/how-to-override-config-txt-settings-during-boot]

    Display Mode Selection: By default, NOOBS will output over HDMI at your display's preferred resolution, even if no HDMI display is connected. If you do not see any output on your HDMI display or are using the composite output, press one of the following keys on your keyboard:

    1 to select HDMI preferred mode
    2 to select HDMI safe mode
    3 to select Composite PAL mode
    4 to select Composite NTSC mode

    o==========o
    | D. Tips |
    o==========o

    Wanna edit the "Settings" partition of Noobs? Start OpeneElec, SSH to it (in Nemo) and edit the settings files. Because when the Pi's SD is inserted to a PC this partition is mounted read ony. The partitions are in the 'Media' dir.

    Start up Noobs not in overscan mode ...?

    o=======================o
    | 1. RETROPIE Installation |
    o=======================o

    From image Unpack the the gz image w/ '7z x retropie.img.gz' because only 7Zip can handle the larger zip files. 2. Noobs/Raspbian

    See separate text file on restoring a backup.

    Install Raspbian w/ Noobs.

    Make sure the GUI (LXDE?) is not installed/autostarted. Go to a TTY (CTRL + ALT + F1) and run:

    sudo raspi-config

    Retropie must be installed w/ the script from the Retropie website

    See: [http://blog.petrockblock.com/2012/07/22/retropie-setup-an-initialization-script-for-retroarch-on-the-raspberry-pi].

    Tip: use SSH for the following commands:

    sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y git dialog cd git clone git://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup.git cd RetroPie-Setup chmod +x retropie_setup.sh sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

    o===================o
    | 2. Set resolution |
    o===================o

    Edit /boot/config.txt.

    Set 'hdmi_group' to '1' (0 will use the preferred group reported by the edid).

    [http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video] Set 'hdmi_mode' to '1' for VGA or '3' for 480 scanlines progressive scan at 60 Hz (this makes the console better readable).

    If you are using Wolf4SDL, then you need to make sure you are using the correct binary for your game data. More details at the wiki.

    https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Wolfenstein-3D

    For Doom, you need to place your data in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom folder. To launch full versions in lr-prboom, I suggest creating custom scripts. More details at the wiki.

    https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Doom

    If you are still having problems, then report back detailing which port you are using and any error messages you may be getting.
