Sorry for the late reply...

I tried very briefly to get things working without success and finally took the easy way installing Xubuntu with which I don't have any sound problem.

For informations, screenshot on screenscraper are in native résolution. Don't expect to have a full HD picture from a gameboy screenshot for exemple.

All picture you can found in 'better' quality are just a upscale of That.

@dudleydes thank you, I'll check that out 😀

Edit: I can announce that it runs almost perfectly with AdvanceMAME

@steptoe and RetroPie images with ROMs so don't mention the site unless you want your account removed.

I just heard about this game today (a little bit late, I know). I read about the latest release and it mentioned it was a DOS game, so I was hoping that I could get it to run in DOSbox - then I learned that it hasn't been a DOS game since the 3rd demo!

Then I stumbled upon this thread - This is awesome! Thank you.

Edit: Good article about evolution of SRB2 Sonic Robo Blast 2's 20th anniversary

@thedeathstar said in looking for free legal games:

@dankcushions Right, I don't think anyone is doing that, and that certainly wasn't the topic in this thread. I guess you'll say it's not your job to explain, but how is accepting donations for the image which packages non-commercial items different than selling a project made from that same image? It seems to me that Buzz is really upset that their work is being monotized, but saying it's because of the non-commercial emulators. Hence, having your cake and eating it too.

We accept donations for our work on RetroPie-Setup etc - nothing to do with selling other peoples software. We don't sell anything.

I am not happy about people breaking licences, and associating RetroPie with piracy which is happening all the time. I don't have to help anyone sell RetroPie "legally". Why should I ?

With the initial instal you should have folders for all the systems supported.

this is an example of how the roms directory will look inside something like WinSCP. You can also access your roms directory through samba by typing \\RETROPIE into your file explorer's menu or alternatively \Exa.mple.Ip.Address for example mine would be \\10.0.0.4

@tyreal90 never mind I restarted my pi and it works again, thanks anyway, I thought I broke something. XD

@edmaul69 Shining force CD was good on sega cd, it was a compilation of the first 2 game gear shining forces (shining force gaiden, and shining force 2 the sword of hadjya) both really good games. And i think there was a third scenario on the CD version that completes the story, but i havent gotten that far into it yet.

@pjft Yeah, I tried it there on lr-mame2010. It loads to the start screen, but not fully, then freezes. Had to reboot the Pi to get out.

resolution-wise, you mean? I've tried lowering it to the minimum in the game's options, but it did no good, just a slight improvement in frame rate, but not by much

@lucienstorm Use the Runcommand onstart script (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#runcommand-onstart-and-runcommand-onend-scripts) and log the start of the game to a text file. Put in the onstart script something like

echo "Started $3 at `date`, for system $1" >> $HOME/playcount.txt

and then inspect the playcount.txt file periodically.

@backstander Thanks!

LocoRoco on PSP has some slowdowns and absolutely maxes out my Pi causing a very quick heat lockup if I don't have the fan on. I would just play it on my actual PSP, but i develop tendon pain after a couple minutes using the PSP anymore.

Enhanced Resolution on the PSX does look great and frankly, if I don't run that or PSP, then I could have stuck with my Pi2. I may try out no enhanced resolution but a shader to see how it runs.

I don't see Dolphin (GC/wii) or the PS2 emulator on a Pi for a long time. It's just not going to be powerful enough on the graphics end. Frankly, I have an XBOX 360 and XBOX One when I want more modern stuff. The X360 still plays a lot of the better original XBOX games.

Heck, my boys are spoiled with their choice of: Xbox 360, Xbox One, PSX, N64, Wii (the version that can play GC games if I bough a GC controller) and Retropie.

Bringing back a dead thread. Has anyone had more luck with using a Zero or Zero W for RetroPie? I want to get a second Pi for gaming, the one I have has been turned into an openHAB box, so I was looking for a cheap way to do it. I would have to dl the new RetroPie as the one I have is over a year old and has been sitting on a stored away microSD card for over a year.

I would like to play PSX games if possible, so I might have to get a pi3, but if I can do it on a Zero, that would be great. We will be mostly playing 16-bit and older games.

I also haven't used a Zero for anything yet, just a couple pi3's, so if there are any other issues with them, please let me know.

@dankcushions I tried a different random rom (1080 snowboarding) and it was fine. if those settings aren't 1s I should look at can you suggest others that may help better? I've read about overclocking the pi3 but that seems a bit drastic this early on.

I've changed to hi res emulator and 1280x720 50hz and conquers ran alright at the beggining but starting to get laggy again just before the menu. lots more playing will come i'm sure now I'm getting far more familiar with things.

I'm aware of the favorites mod.

But I was looking for something more geared at collections like having all MARIO games in one section within ES

@Muntic0re your welcome, will update it when i can with more games ive tried out
