@doctorstork This is correct. When you put the SD card in the Pi for the first time the root file system is automatically expanded to use the full size of the card. This is free space and can now be used for storage. Go into the terminal / command line and enter df -h this will show you how the card is being utilised.

@SkittleBrau79 great to hear! Thanks for updating the thread.

@AlexMurphy said in Problems Installing RetroPie:

@Necrosaro420 I hate to tell you but you don't have a Raspberry Pi2. It's a Pi1. Do you see where it says armv61? That means it is the single core chip installed. The 1 and zero are single core the 2 & 3 are quadcore. How many raspberries do you see on initial boot? If it is only one then you have a Pi1 or zero (a 2 or 3 would display 4 raspberries) and of course you would know if it is a zero due to the size...

Thanks for Amazon Prime same day ship, got the 3 in today. Everything works great. Thanks again.

@bassholio which n64 emulator?

@herb_fargus sounds good.

@Capt_MorganCreek similar codebase. The Dev of that will likely fix the issue for both when has some time to look into it. It's a RPI issue.

@backstander awesome! Thanks again

@Electromaster64

I am trying to get rid of the start+select=exit hotkey

So do you want to disable the "Hotkey" function all together?

input_exit_emulator_btn = 8

And you want it to exit the RetroArch emulator when you press button #8 on your generic USB controllers?

I think you have to set the hotkey to null so try added this to your retroarch.cfg

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "nul"

If that doesn't work also add this:

input_enable_hotkey = "nul"

@biglouieuk Only the last 3 days on this, and within moments of posting, I find thre answer myself.

For others finding this...default.cfg IS in mame libretro, you can delete that and it will reset the keys for the TAB and remap when in the Mame game.

To do this for MAME4ALL, you need to find the default.cfg for mame4all

I found it in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/cfg

Delete and you old maps come back for you to destroy again at will..

Hope this helps someone.

@BuZz I already own a Rpi3 but as C1 is more powerfull i wanted to give it a try. I Already tried Lakka once but it misses the emulationstation front end and there lot of tool missing compared to RetroPie

I only wished there was an already build image for C1 like the one for RPI but it appears to be in my dreams.
So i'll stop posting here and open a new thread with the proper information.

Thanks for helping me it been beyond my expectation so far :)

@Cadburylion said in 4 player support for SNES on RetroPie Zero:

The only games I care to get 4 player support working for is for the Bomberman series on SNES.

You took the words right outta my mouth Cadburylion. I have the exact same problem, someone please help! I have 3 poor... sad... helpless ... little kids who want to play 4 player Bomberman with their Dad.

@gautchh Attach and config a keyboard in ES, go into the emulator of your choice and enter the rgui menu. There you can navigate to Settings, Input and configure your controller. Make sure the right controller-device is selected and try bind all.

If your controllername does not show up increase the number of players (or devices) under Input and try again.

Another way to get your controller working properly is using xboxdrv, which emulates an xbox controller and makes mapping it in games easier.

@Gyro my first computer too. Hence why i took an apple iie and gutted it and put a raspberry pi in it.

@Wolfman100 - are you able to provide a clear guide for this? I have 2 Shanwan controllers and did not know I need to go through all this. I am using Putty and Retropie on a Pi3.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

@Rion
That did the trick! I feel kinda silly. It froze the first time I messed with it, so I didn't think to try it again. Bumping it up to 40 or 60hz, saving the game override, and resetting completely fixed a super slow laggy part.

I'm curious to know how this works.

@BuZz Thanks a lot but unfortunately I moved samples folder inside bios folder and edited configuration files to prevent emulationstation showed the samples in the roms list but if there aren't another way :(

@luetzel - thank you for your work!!! My question to you is Steps 1 thru 4, is that done on the computer or on the actual PI3? If on the computer, is there a program we should use?

Hi,

I recently managed to get a network share from my PC set up on my Pi:
My share is on an external hard drive attached to my PC - E:/RetroPieShare - inside this I copied 4 folders from my pi (home/pi/RetroPie - this will copy all the files on your SD card to the external hard drive on your PC :
0_1486470761915_1.png

I then edited the fstab file:
0_1486471142739_3.png

like this:
0_1486471548395_4.png

The next bit was key: the path to the share on the external hard drive in fstab must match the properties shown in windows highlighted in blue - (remember to change the \ to / in the fstab file):
0_1486471667567_5.png

(Also remember to share this folder)
I can now add roms into the roms folder on the external hard drive & they appear in the home/pi/Retropie/roms folder which should appear in Emulation Station

@AlexMurphy The sort order for the roms, it wasn't working but I have a feeling it has to do with the fact a lot of my roms are in subfolders.
