Hi

I am no expert. But mame is emulating the actual arcade machine. So in arcade games such as galaga there was only one joystick so not sure there would be a way for it to emulate a 2nd joystick

There was as you noticed 2 start buttons though.

I have not tried this but what u could do is go into the mame configure screen. Hit tab with a keyboard plugged in. tell it to use a button on your 1st controller for 2 player start.

@Pyjamarama said in Almost done....:

Is there a chance of seperate compilations for Pi3 only? Will it gain some performance boost?

you can do it yourself by updating the package by source. it will take a much longer time (even over an hour for some mame versions), and if there are performance improvements they don't seem to be measurable.

@darkwolf86 you did update all installed packages instead of just updating RetroPie-Setup

@moosepr That does help! Thanks! This has been quite an educational experience.

The config.txt is located in the Boot folder, you can edit this via ftp or by putting the SD card into your PC.

I had an issue with locking up as well when trying to overclock my rpi3b with the recommended overclock settings I've seen on several sites. I ended up just reverting to default. it's always a good idea to make a backup of your config.txt before editing just in case something like this happens.

hope this helps.

@bkay it's in a folder called images in the same folder with the gamelist.xml when doing it on the PC, unless you specified for it to save elsewhere. you will need your transfer these to the pi.

On the Pi you want to put them in opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/ and either downloaded images or gamelists respectively. you may need to edit the image path in the gamelist.xml if you still can't see them.

It also depends on the console/games you are trying to scrape as some cannot be scraped with this method yet.

hope this helps.

and hand the rest on a USB

Please don't sell a legal arcade machine then just give your customers ROMs because you're a great helpful guy. That's still copyright infringement, is harmful for RetroPie to be associated with, and the setup script explicitly asks you not to do this.

@BuZz Thanks! I will try again and I'll report back here

I bet that was the problem.

Perfect! Thanks so much for your help. Not sure how I missed that. All updated :)

So I updated my retropie to 4.something, uninstalled the xboxdrv and then installed the xpad and it seems to work fine. Kodi on the other hand is an absolute clusterfuck but looking at the thread you posted it seems it should be cleared up in the next version.

@unkis17 Honestly m8 I am not sure. Never tried what you are doing before ;-)

in fact, config per core is depreciated in retroarch. it's not in the latest builds so i guess will be gone from later versions of retropie.

@UDb23 Thanks , i`ve tried that years ago , .lay files are easier to set-up.
I´ll try one more time.

@BuZz

Excellent - Thanks for your help.

Makes perfect sense.

I'll re-install ES on the Pi2, then Re-install Kids Mode on the Pi2 and all should be good to go.

Thanks again.

@sphirst That's why it isn't recording it then dude. I had a similar issue when editing some metadata on a couple of roms. Came back and my changes had reverted. A clean exit from emulationstation resolved it though.
