@frgn said in The best solution for Sega Megadrive/Genesis Mini on Raspberry Pi: @Ulmez Done. The link in the previous post has been updated. It's simply perfect!! Thanks! :D

personally, if i was doing this i would make a fork in github with my changes, and then edit the retropie build script to point at it, then compile it through retropie - update via source. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/emulators/mupen64plus.sh#L32 if i made a change to the master branch of my fork of mupen64plus-core, i would this line to 'dankcushions core' note that when you edit retropie scripts the script updater will complain when you come to update it.

Note: This is my 'quite pricey' version of a Pi Cart. Please see below for a cheaper version. (Prices in GBP). You will need the following: Micro SD card - 32GB with adapter - £6.25 Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 - £7.64 (The Pi Hut) nes hard case cartridge shell replacement for nintendo entertainment systemDL-e - £3.55 OTG Hub 4 In 1 Micro USB Power Charging Host Adapter Charger Cable Accessories - £3.04 Any usb keyboard and mouse, wireless or otherwise Any usb controller. HDMI cable And a hot glue gun. (The glue used in this is perfect safe with electronics and doesn't cause a short.) Total prices, about £30. Thank you and regards.

Thanks @jdrassa i'll keep my eye open and run another test :)

I just remembered that Retropie is doesn't support Buster yet so it would'nt work on Retropie just yet.

I just added an exec functionality to my multiplexer: The idea is, to allow external programs to be executed on a button press. This can be used to enable/disable special functions which are triggered by external executables: Here is a demo and you get an idea why I need this functionality:

Ok, took way too much time, but the Android keyboard should be fixed now.

WARNING: Overlocking can damage your pi. Hello, I have been messing around with the pi 1 model b, and I have found that if you overclock the retropi, to 1000mHz, and sigificantly increases your speed of pi and are able to play emulators that you were not able to play before. This includes Sega 32x and GBA. However overclocking your pi can seriously damage your pi. This is because you are forcing the CPU to work faster then it was designed for. Recommand you do this for short periods of time, but never long term. The only Pi that you can successfully overclock is the Pi Zero, which has been designed at the hardware level to run at 1000mHz. To overclock go to retropi settings and then go to overclocking. Also if you add a keyboard and mouse you can use the ports emulator. In the retropi settings, to to retro pi setup. Click on optional packages, that then scroll down to the bottom of the list, you will find a selection of open-source (free) games to play with a keyboard and mouse. Connect the pi to the internet and download from binary. Reboot the pi and then play. All work on the pi 1 model b without overclocking. Thank you and regards.

@mitu I got it working with the runcommand now. Only a small visual issue (no progress bar while downloading a game). But I found a bug in downloadAndExtract, and I opened a pull request :D https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2628

Hey! A bit late haha So... I don't know much of cmake, but I ALWAYS like to start by the official website and documentation. I found an official tutorial on the official website: https://cmake.org/cmake-tutorial/ Not the BEST answer but I hope it helps... Cya!

@mitu oh wow, never thought about something like that! Thank Mitu, i will have patience next time! 😊

@wetriner said in ES Themes Menu Revision: @herb_fargus said in ES Themes Menu Revision: Another suggestion would be a culling to keep well maintained themes and leaves the others to an auxillary script. I think this is a good option as well. I also like this idea.

The RetroPie-Setup scripts use a helper script - joy2key - to navigate and enable buttons in dialog enabled scripts. Take a look here to see how it's started/stopped. You can source the RetroPie-Setup helper.sh or copy the functions you need from it in order to use it in your script.

And for anyone's future reference: here is the github issue regarding it: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm/issues/215

@herb_fargus said in Software dev questions.: @jcode said in Software dev questions.: All of my questions are dependable on what type of software i wrote? If it's software that includes links to roms or downloaders for them we obviously don't condone it because it will do nothing but damage the project and earn you a nice ban. But there are plenty of web/theme managers scattered throughout the forum so if it's similar to those I don't see an issue with sharing it with the community No...the software does not contain any illegal stuff. I would never do anything to hurt RetroPie and it´s community. Thanks for your answer.
