@mediamogul I even owned the original Gameboy and Gameboy color and I totally forgot about the colourisation on original GB games on the GBC . Amazing that the emulation takes that into account.

The great thing about retropie is that you don't have to stick to 1 app for arcade emulation. You can choose what emulator each game uses, just make sure you have the right rom set for each emulator. For most games, mame 2003 hits the sweet spot between compatibility and speed for most games. For neo geo, FB alpha is better at that. Games like street fighter 3. Require FB alpha.

What have I missed?

@sixfootewok It'll be seeing the Xbox pad as player 0 (so player 1). Disconnect it and try again, or look into the retroarch controller select script from the wiki so you can define which device is used as the first player.

@sinfolmatt I've just watched a video and found out that the USB speakers that come with an audio jack, the audio jack just plugs straight into the raspberry pi 3 as it has an audio jack point so nice and easy. It's looking like the way to go is foe mo get a Raspberry pi 3 on order and crack on with it.

You don't want to use safe_mode for general use - forces lower resolution mode etc. hdmi_safe also enables hdmi_force_hotplug=1see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

@sinfolmatt Please use the official installation instructions

Note the part where it refers to downloading the correct image / number of raspberries shown on boot.

Hi Did you ever come right ?

i have this exact same problem right the way down to your Edit: where both axes read 0-32767

travis90x thanks so much.That solved the problem.I had the same problem using berryboot and retropie.
I can go inside the configuration now.

Since some recent kernel / drivers updates, some joysticks causes Kodi to crash, and others look like they get a button stuck. Others still work fine. If you are affected by this, you can disable the gamepad support in System -> System -> Input Devices until Kodi 17 comes out. It will have official joystick support, and hopefully all of this will be fixed.

Thanks to all :)

For now I'm stick to default ES version. Maybe in future the experimental branch would resolve all it problem.

I will mind the tip!

Thanks to all for responding me, thanks even to you I'm really near to finishing my project :)

[SOLVED] Thanks to all who replied. As per info the link posted by UDb23, the simplest solution was to move all the roms into the 'arcade' directory. That way, lr-fbalpha is selectable, alongside lr-mame2003. Brilliant!

@ezlikespie you haven't searched this site, read the instructions for mame or looked in the wiki. All information is provided. Your question has even been asked before on this forum many times. Here is one of many.....

Okay so, apparently I misunderstood the copying process... I thought I could just use the SAMBA Shares, but that didn't work... However, I have since used the USB Flash Drive option and now the games and emulators are showing up on the console.

So, problem solved!
