@callitkarma67 can you please paste here the output of these commands (I wanna make you able to use the joystick-selection tool on the raspi you use the network share ROMs):
ls -ld /opt/retropie $HOME/RetroPie/retropiemenu
ls -l $HOME/RetroPie

@rbaker maybe he means 2Volts... then feck it. He's lucky to even see the CLI. Sort your PSU out, mate!

OK it seems formatting to FAT32 fixed the issue. Thx for your replies and this great project, this topic can be closed.

Let me know if this is way to low a priority or if I should put it in Ideas section.

I was looking over the code for [OMX](lhttps://github.com/ricrpi/mupen64plus-audio-omx/blob/master/src/main.c the commit volum section is commented out, saying it doesn't work with Raspberry Pi. I was poking around and it looks like the omx player for raspberry pi which uses OMX as well does support volume control. That code looks to be in C++ instead of C, but has similarities in terms of populating the struct and setting it omxErr = OMX_SetConfig(OMX_Handle, OMX_IndexConfigAudioVolume, &volumeConfig);

That line is from omxplayer
line 812

Any chance OMX was update for RPi and this plugin wasn't aware? My C/C++ skills are out of date especially with linux, so I would not know how to properly get all the source needed to build, make the change. Sadly I have used too much Visual Studio and Windows development. Code would have to be commented out, and also added to call the commented code to increase / decrease.

ok, thanks

Much obliged, thanks

@columboscoat

Just don't let her hear you say that. She'll have all our nuclear launch codes in a few years time. ;)

Glad you got it working

i have a hunch about the issue, but i can't confirm it. i've logged it with retroarch here:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4333

and maybe i'll buy a wiimote and sensor bar to test myself. do you know if a generic chinese wiimote will still work on the pi? i guess if they work on a wii they should be understood by the linux driver?

yeah the rpi 3's wifi was initially crappy when it was first launched, until the rpi foundation fixed something in the firmware or raspian. you'll probably find it's good from now on :)

Looks like you are doing it wrong. Try it a different way, one that works

Ok. Well, the SNES emulator should be able to run on a Pi3 easily enough. The best example I can give is Super Mario World Allstars + World. But generally, I imagine that the Pi3 should be able to run the SNES emulator without problems. I wonder if my RaspiATX card that controls the power is draining too much juice from the Pi3 thus reducing performance. Is that a possibility? I do have the switch that controls the pi from the board as an LED switch... ie it uses electricity as well.

Assuming that you were using the 0.78 dat file, it should have been fine. It's a total cop-out suggestion, but you may just want to download the "MAME 2003 Reference Set" and get the ROMs from there.

@BuZz Yep, things are working properly now. If I see any future problems I'll open a new thread. Thanks!

Type "emulationstation" without quotes. This should load ES (RetroPie). Go into the RetroPie config menu on the GUI. Choose RetroPie Setup > Configuration / tools > 002 autostart... choose 1 start ES at boot. Cancel back to GUI, and reboot...

Sorry, I think it's working just fine.

It's just that I thought that because I could access Retropie roms folder via LAN and see all the roms, that meant that they were on the SD card, but what I was actually doing was accesing the USB drive roms folder.

Sorry!

@columboscoat agreed. I would add, although I said above it should be fine (if it can do 2amps and keep voltage at 5.1v), I would still recommend a stronger PSU since you will probably be wanting to use controllers and other devices that require power.

We do not offer support for 3rd party modifications/distributions of RetroPie (As has been pointed out, RetroPie should not be included with commercial products, nor do we know the modifications that have taken place).

You will need to get support from the person/company who sold it to you - or alternatively download an official version of RetroPie from this site, and put it on an sdcard, and we will be able to try and help.

You also need to provide more details as mentioned - which may be clearer once you have installed RetroPie from the install instructions here which explain a lot of the system to you.
