I would recommend the following videos

Runs like a dream on pi 3 even with HD Texture packs enabled

On a 2 I'm sure with an overclock, setting the glide plugin downscaling to 640x480 it will run fine.

Just look into overclocking especially v3d_freq and bumping up gpu_mem and setting your plugin settings correctly.

all of your answers are in the documentation.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_drive=2

Those should force it to use hdmi even if a monitor isn't connected at boot but you might notice the resolution isn't set right. You can look at http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video_mode_options for more fun things you can tinker with.

old megadrive roms has metadata info from copiers and use mostly *.smd extension , usually *.md and *.bin are pretty clean roms, but to make sure you used the proper ones try verify them with no-intro http://datomatic.no-intro.org/?page=download

Well, I've actually tried selling it to no avail.

To top it off, getting another arcade-like controller is financially impossible for me rite now. :(

Is there no other option to make this work? Maybe a mod? Maybe gutting a regular USB controller?

@herb_fargus Ah, thanks very much, I will do that now :)

With the update it seems to have changed things...

Pot the controller in the upper left port for right now

@herb_fargus Sorry Herb, I'll delete this (assuming I can). For the record, I know you're one of the developers. Great stuff. I figured my issue out. Take care!

There's more than one button on a keyboard

If there is accelerated X, you can try the generic x11 target

sudo __platform=generic-x11 ./retropie_setup.sh

but I cannot offer any help on this really.

not sure if this is what @ShootHere was getting at, but I have games that won't scrape even though they're in the DB, it'd be nice if I could just input the game ID from the URL to point the scraper at the intended data.

The same issue with GBA...

The scraper is simply a database someone built so if they didn't put in any of the games, then it won't catch it.

Would be nice to get a group of people together to build a Retropie scraper...

@a7mag3ddon RetroPie is more than just one program and is always in a state of active development. The closest you'll get is checking the version of the script listed on the setup script. But that only specifies the latest version of the script you've updated to rather than what you have installed.

@Moco you'll need a powered USB hub to run your harddrive

Thanks :)

The issue I think is the updated RetroArch...

Hi I also use UAE4ARM. WinUAE is great on windows, but UAE4ARM seems to have better results on RetroPie.

I believe the controls are hardset which means although there is a custom settting, it will not work with RetroPie. But it will work when you do it in Windows etc.

Thanks
