@webodan I found my own solution in this github post. All it took was adapting his SwitchToKodi script to kill Xorg after emulationstation was dead instead of having a user switch.

That is actually pretty cool!

@Clyde I'm not sure yet, I only took a moment to map because I'm waiting for an image to come out. Then I'll take the time to map properly. @UDb23 thank you!

Didn't you already asked this a couple months ago ? You got an answer on how to set-up your keys in Emulationstation - did you try applying the steps there to configure your controller ? Another question: can I switch of the emulator type display in favourites, that thing in brackets: MOON PATROL [MAME-LIBRETRO] I think this should be possible for custom collections, though your version of Emulationstation is a bit old for that. How did you install RetroPie ?

@wstanek Not every vertical game is 4-way, though. Many arcade SHMUPs are vertical and 8-way. But with either the xboxdrv (item 2D) or switchable Joysticks like the Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus (I have two of them built into my upright cabinet, see my review here), that wouldn't be an issue.

@mitu I had the same issue. It would always ask for a password on first game only. I followed the guides to no avail and found my problem was where in the file I put the user. It must go at the end of the sudoers file after the #includedir line. Once I did that it loaded without asking for permission. I doubled checked by rebooting and running emulationstation again and it loaded as expected. Hope this provides some clarity. This StackExchange thread is where I finally figured out my error.

@Clyde

Mostly not at 4:3 or 5:4, as I said, because they haven't been manufactured in bulk in almost a decade. It is actively hard to find a brand new 4:3 or 5:4 LCD panel. 99% of new monitors are 16:9 or 16:10.

@danielmewhouse said in Alternative PS1 case: don't forget to put something under the Pi to isolate from The metal case. Use some spacers and for full heat dissipation fill the case with sunflower oil Veggie-Pie

Impressive, the design looks great.

@darkseal Great craftsmanship and detailed explanation. But for those that don't have access to power tools or can borrow from a friend or nabor a pre cut DIY kit are not always expensive. Google search: rich's bartop Arcades

Very classy. :)

@RetroGamer99 said in My Asteroids-Themed DIY Upright Cabinet: This weekend or next will try setting up my arcade cabinet (mostly down to you motivating me). I'm flattered. 😳 Assuming maybe with the audio jack? Correct. 😀 With an adapter cable for the RCA jacks of the amplifier. Have fun with your project!

@mattyl42 great! not hard at all - the noshaders.glslp file is one line saying shaders = "0" so no shader is loaded :) i didn't think it would work! that's a really cool setup - when you're done make sure you post photos in the projects and themes forum :)

Nice job buddy! I have finished my large cab too and was thinking about doing a small upright like this. I like how you have the shape and it's not the same as every other generic bar top...looks original. Do you have it booting straight into Pac man?

@willie1280 Vectorlib and Arcadeartwork offer a significant amount of artwork in vector format.

@willie1280 I bought a graphic kit from mini arcade machines. My marquee is a sticker. I cut two pieces of plexiglass and sandwiched it between them and then did a border using some leftover T-molding with the spine part cut out.

@dunginhawk Here is a good video for this:

@stuart2773 Thanks. Yes I already use this site, they have some really good scans.
