@windg that did it! Back online. Now to figure out the culprit, which narrows it down to the dolphin bar, since that was the only thing different. Thanks so much!

@skankieflank said in Can we use Pad2Key?:

Pad2key is really simple to use and great for mapping games which were for keyboard use only to joypad.

Sure, but it seems something specific to Batocera and not a standalone app than one can take and integrate into an existing setup.

That was it. I had to install Amiberry. Now it appears and should work. Thanks!

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Colecovision/ sends me to

https://github.com/libretro/blueMSX-libretro and then

https://sourceforge.net/p/bluemsx/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/blueMSX/Make/blueMSXlite/

and I'm getting lost at the moment. I'm going to have another go at all this when I'm not so tired. Thank you for the pointers, much appreciated.

No, that's not supported by RetroPie's EmulationStation fork.

@Ashpool That worked. Having trouble setting up my controller, but I think it's stupid user error :)

Thanks a lot!

@LLD you can learn more about the lr-flycast situation on retropie at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34729/lr-flycast-binary-file-update-8-mar

To use current flycast i suppose you'd just need to replace the lr-flycast.sh script currently bundled in retropie setup by this this one .

@Folly Thank you so much for the info!!!! I'm going to buy a better power supply.

@windg

That worked perfectly, thank you!

For those interested:

BINGO.... I figured this out and was just coming back to say thanks for the SDL tip again. For the record, I added the env variable to "/etc/environment" to make it a system wide change.

Again, big thanks.

I was able to convert my .srm save file from lr-mupen64plus-next to an .sra file with this online tool.

https://drehren.github.io/ramp64-convert-web/

I then copied the .sra file into /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus/save/

Then I launched ocarina of time with mupen64plus-GLideN64 and played it nonstop for about 2 hours without any crashes or major issues. GLideN64 may have had a few more video glitches than lr-mupen64plus-next was having, but not a single crash for that entire period of time, and that was picking up the game where I left off playing with lr-mupen64plus-next.

So it seems that I don't have these crashes with standalone emulators, but do with libretro emulators.

I'm not sure why this topic is in 'Help & Support' and what's the connection to RetroPie ?

Hi, I have seen a few companies selling cocktail table style games machines.

I know these often use Jamma boards, but wonder if anyone has built one of these tables using a Pi?

It looks to be possible, and I know I’ll need an IPAC controller board to connect Pi to buttons and joystick etc.

Has anyone done this already? Any obvious reason why it can’t be done?

Thanks for any help.

Any thoughts on this?

Lots of people have viewed the post.

😳

@sleve_mcdichael Ah, gotcha. I'll tinker with this. Thank you!

@sleve_mcdichael You are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so embarrassingly ignorant. I have spent 2 weeks trying to fix this and it was just the order I plugged the buttons into the controller? AAAAUUUUGGGGGGG!!!! Thankfully I can (and frequently do) laugh at myself;)

Thank you again!!

Rob

@mitu updating from source fixed it!

Thank you both for catching and fixing this. It escaped me.

Please post the complete system specs as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
