For atari 2600 and 5200 how do I configure the controls. Is it keyboard only?
Kodi, Plexus the streams don't work.

You configure lr-stella just like any other RetroArch core. However, the keypads and therefore all keypad games are not supported. Also, there is no option for analog control, making the paddle games pretty much unplayable. The standalone stella emulator allows for analog controls and the keypads, but the controls must be mapped manually from it's own interface. 5200 games on the atari800 emulator have full support for analog controls, keypads and trackballs, but every setting has to be made from an external text editor, as setting anything in the native GUI corrupts the preference file.

Yes they work if you follow what I said earlier, most of the Plexus addon versions available on the internet don't work because the modules download links are broken.

Wow i am surprised and happy how well ps1 games play on this. Every game I tried works perfect. Just wondering if there is a capability list. I am really disappointed in the neo geo emulator thou. Really wanted to play the metal slugs the first one works and kof games 98 works and MVS caos, ohh well ps1 has the metal slugs i guess.
As for the newly added Saturn I seen a youtuber posting it and it's painfully slow, not worth installing unless there is some sort of settings. REally i just want to play panzar dragoon games. As for mame mvc, some shooter and rumble fish all don't work sigh.

Im disappointed and shocked that there is no off and on switch. there is some sort of mod i see but it looks hard. DO you loose the audio jack wile doing it?

There's a newer kodi available is it supported. Is it worth manually adding it. I really don't know how gotta look it up.

@Deltax5 the metal slug games all work fine. Make sure you have good roms, the correct bios and emulator set.

Edit, actually all the games you have listed should run fine. I believe I have most of them running on fbalpha, I don't have my pi and set this up months ago so I can't check. I do know I play them all with No issues. Read up on the fbalpha emulator and required bios files, they will work.

@Deltax5 yeah Kodi 17.3 is available. Just install it from the optional packages.

Deltax5

any way to add a vpn to the pi for kodi?
fbalpha in optional packeges or is it under arcade, or neo geo folder. they work perfect on pc. I think the bios is fine to other wise no game would work? going to check later

TMNTturtlguy

@Deltax5 I play mine under the arcade folder.

wrong romset. You should start a new topic for new questions rather than having a single thread with multiple issues in it.
