    Its a 3.5 inch TFT from TinyLCD. I am trying to run the program without root I have worked on this for like a full week now with no progress at all. I am thinking of just buying a car backup screen and a converter from hdmi and calling it a day.
    If you need anymore info, then you can just ask!

    Generally speaking html5 games (or any web-based games for that matter) run like sludge on the pi.

    I dont know what electron games are

    If you are looking to port it Likelihood it will be a bit of manual work to port as most ports will essentially be starting from scratch. You can go the formal multiplatform route with C++ and SDL etc. or you can look into the love engine which has a pretty decent community for development but the game has to continually be developed to keep up with the love engine versions

    thanks, successfully compiled it and soul calibur works in versus battle mode (2 players)!
    download source from here:
    https://github.com/RetroPie/reicast-emulator

    just be sure to compile reicast in the /usr/local/bin/reicast directory and first install all the developer buildings before you type and enter "make clean && make":
    sudo apt-get install
    libasound2
    libegl1-mesa-dev
    libgles2-mesa-dev
    libasound2-dev
    mesa-common-dev
    libgl1-mesa-dev

    in the end you'll get two files in the shell/linux/ directory. you just need the reicast.elf. but rename reicast.elf to reicast (without file-ending) and copy it over to /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast.
    but make a backup before you replace the old file.

    @phillymadison
    Drop the .cue and .bin files of the game into the segacd folder, yet I should advice you of something: Rpi2 and 3 has only 1GB of RAM and CD images has around 600mbs, as result the emulator can delay the loading of game and some sounds...
    The best practices are extract the audio to wave format, keep the data into bin format and create a cue file (which contain the list of the files and also the type and which order those should be played), that way only loads the required audio file instead load the entire "CD", which improve the loading times of the sountrack a lot, the same can be applied to psx games as well.

    The question is how you do that?

    Pick an original CD or a CD image and open with isobuster (http://www.isobuster.com/)

    Extract data into a folder

    rename the data track into "name_of_the_game_track 1.bin"

    rename the sound files into "name_of_the_game_track 2.wav", "name_of_the_game_track 3.wav", "name_of_the_game_track 4.wav", etc.
    Try rename those in the right order.

    Generate the Cue file by using the sega cue generator (http://www.racketboy.com/downloads/sega-cue-maker.htm)

    Save the Cue file into the folder where the others files are, you can keep the name "game_of_the_game.cue"

    Edit the /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and remove the ".bin" format from the platforms that uses CD's, to only show up the cue files on the game list, otherwise if you boot a bin file it wont load the sounds.

    PS: it's important to rename the files, otherwise if you leave the files names simple as "track 1 and 2 and 3" it will overwrite with existent files from other games.

    EDIT:
    I forgot you also need BIOS and those are renamed differently according which emulator you use, you can find more about it here:

    It could be worth you checking out this page.
    https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

    Please note that only the Retroarch based emulators use the "default" hotkeys, other emulators will need their own configs (as you have found above). The retroarch ones are identified with the 'lr' prefix.

    I'm a total newbie about to make a very simular setup, so I wonder if this is working out for you or there are any problems?

    Having one insert coin button (and not two) , and 2) having it double as select. Having Hotkey and Exit Emulator set to the same button?

    Yup....seems to be working and Scrape is running as we speak. I read some other threads and it appears most do not shut the pi down; is that true? Any concerns with heat or with having the Ethernet left connected?

    @senkun

    Yes, i am using wifi. And it seems so, that if it finds the network at First try, everything is fine exept the emulationstation cutting the video.

    And i Have allready disabled the USB ROM service, and it only got rid one of the initial two identical fail errors.

    And i Will try that delay sequence. Is the value in seconds?
