"Friends" The One Where Joey Dates Rachel (2002) Phoebe gives Chandler and Monica a late wedding present: the game Ms Pac-Man.

After Chandler fills the Ms. Pac-man machine with some very rude initials, Phoebe tries to beat all of his top scores before Ben comes over and sees them...
It doesn't quite go as planned.

I just found this post and would love to know how to add custom art for the pokemon mini. And your artwork is great! Would you please let me know how to do it?

Snow Bros, Zupapa, Bang Bang Busters, Tumblepop and Don Doko Don are great kids games on MAME. Others already mentioned Frogger and Rod Land.

Also fantastic, but a fair bit more difficult, are Kickle Cubicle, Pang (aka Buster Bros) and Solomon's Key.

Also check out Funky Jet, although it might be deemed to 'aggressive' by some (beating enemies with boxing gloves while jetpaccing around).

For kids a bit older, Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy might be fun, as well as Spinmaster.

@arturgomes I love how janky it is

The /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation is actually the same folder as /home/pi/.emulationstation, the latter being a symlink to the former.

Emulationstation reads the custom file in /home/pi/.emulationstation, then - if the 1st doesn't exist - the default one /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg (installed and maintained by the RetroPie setup script).

I never got any upgrade to ever write a custom ES systems file in that folder, but I'm only using RetroPie since 4.2.0 - so it might have been a problem in the past.

@shareef Thanks for sharing your solution.

@meleu Is it still massively expensive to import foreign electronics to Brasil? I have read and watched documentaries about the taxes that were placed on foreign imports. I'm sure that has opened up but there will always be a legacy of that policy.

I think it's not as much as it was in the 80s-90s. But it still has some taxes. Not sure how it worked before but now the taxes are applied by sampling. Then it can be a matter of luck. :-)

I bought some gadgets from other countries and it wasn't that expensive (some of them weren't taxed), such as: 8bitdo NES30, SNES30, Zero, GPD XD...

@rulmismo Yeah, the screw terminals hanging out from the wall plug have gaps around them, open/electrified screws exposed so someone with a tool in hand might be able to electrocute themselves.

One step better would be to use an extension cord, keeping the female end. Plug your DC adapter into it instead of the screw terminals, then use the length of cord to replace your black and blue wires, cutting the extension cord when it reaches your plug on the right side and re-solder. At least this would put the dangerous part only on the right side which you could protect again with heat shrink like you have now, and you could even glue a little a thin box around it so it can't accidentally get pulled and touched.

That's kinda what I did with my cabinet. I glued some thin wood around the point where the AC comes into my cabinet and made a little box around it. My internal high-voltage power is just the end of an extension cord inside my cabinet.

@melvin-fox Appreciate the encouragement.

I've had to reconsider the design and features of the enclosure as I was relying on somebody else to build it and now am unsure on when or if this will happen anytime soon. Using an arcade stick with the Pi was the priority so for now, the Pi will stay as is and outside the initial build (version 1). I'll continue to power it as I always have.

As this is my first arcade stick build and likely to be a temporary solution, it's very low budget. It's currently housed in an cardboard box! I'll look into upgrading it into something more classy once I can establish how much use it's going to get. I received all the parts last week and spent some time on weekend wiring everything up to ensure it was all working.

I'll reconsider the options we discussed here once it's upgraded and decide if an all in one arcade stick/PI solution is the better option. More importantly, if it can be achieved using the few tools I have access to whilst keeping costs to a minimum.

Check out CoinOps 8, can't post a direct link here but it's a pretty slick emulation package for the OG Xbox.

@mediamogul Haha! :)

Why not set up a file server on the pi3 and have the piZero read from that directory for the roms and game saves. That way it will all be stored on the pi3 for OTG fun. You can have the pi3 host its one access point from the on board wifi and have the piZero connect to it. You can also have the piZero temp download the rom and save the game locally and once the game closes you can have it automatically sync the game saves using something like rsync.

Hope that wasn't too confusing but that all works! :)

@jazzsunn Or failing that, not even your theme. Check your ROM names for non ASCII characters. Remove anything odd or unusual from the file names.

Thanks @badhaloninja, I'll add it to the To-Do list. As mentioned above, I'm working on v3 of the Toolkit at the moment, but I'll hopefully be done with that soon.

Got it, that's what I needed to know. Thank you very much for the help!

@MadRikXIV have you tried rotating your heatsink to get your wifi working? The direction it is facing can have an effect on the wifi because the heatsink acts as an antenna. Taking it out of the acrylic case will help some too.
