Check out mausberry circuits. Very happy with mine

ok all sorted

This is an old issue but, I have something to add. The button response, is only accepted right after the dialog/launching.png disappears. There is it seems, either a huge delay, or joy2key won't trigger until the end of the script. I'm guessing this could be fixed, its worth fixing. Additional features should be added to run command as well, though I can't think of any good ones right now.

@edmaul69 Hi i am attempting somthing similar with a Super Nintendo reset button and am looking for a script that will exit the current game and go back the the game select screen.

Do you happen to know of a working one?

many thanks

@edmaul69 you only get one version of blues clues and it's NTSC . I tried bin and cue. One from a reputable pack and the other from a popular site. I tried pbp and no luck either. Thanks for trying it out. We might just need to live with the lack of voices at certain bits.

@Sp1d3yman Also if the rom is in a zip, but unzipped it won't work, the whole game won't work.

hey guys!

so i managed to get this to work to some capacity but few things are a tad wrong and was hoping for your help.

when i power the NES on, the push button is OUT when the unit is on and when i push the POWER IN, it turns OFF.
is there something anyone can think of to reverse that? I've tried moving cables around and can't seem to get it.

how does one get the LED to work with the unit if its built in on the board? should it just not turn on and off if i ave properly tapped into the power?

thanks everyone

@mwight Seems like you messed up a lot...
Go into the retropie-setup menu and update all packages... This should reinstall the emulators
Other wise: save configs/roms and reinstall...

@SonPluck No problem. But it says to hold any button to skip.

@chip Ok thanks, maybe now I can use my old bigger sd card, thanks again!

@psyke83
Thx for correcting file structure that was introduced by me... That will sort out 1000 of errors :)

No worries. If anybody is having trouble with Quake, make sure to update lr-tyrquake and refer to the wiki which I have recently updated with the proper instructions on where to place the data files.

I also just added instructions on how to add the soundtrack files for the base game and both mission packs that I confirmed as working with lr-tyrquake (and I think will work with the other ports as well).

@MisryLovesCo try using etcher without extracting , if that doesn't work then something is going wrong with the Download

Glad to hear that you figured it out!

@edmaul69 said in USB hard drive help?:

@dizmodawg i use easeus partition master. It is capable of deleting the linux partitions and formatting it back.

Thanks for your help it worked!

Unfortunately, the guide I linked to above is about as easy as it gets and there's no GUI. If you have the basics in place, adding a button combination with the 'B' and 'A' set to act as 'start' would look like:

--ui-buttonmap b+a=start

It should be noted that the learning curve for all this is pretty high. However, it does get easier over time if it's something you want to explore. Also, while handy for Emulation Station, this really wouldn't be ideal for game play, as there are plenty of times where any two buttons will need to be pressed to trigger a game event and the game will only ever see your chosen combination as being the 'start' button. Of course, the mapping can be disabled once a game is launched, so there are possible work-arounds, but you're always going to be at a disadvantage with so few buttons.

Thank you cardula! I had a problem with bad bios version and cue file with a mix or lower and upper case. Whew!

@TMNTturtlguy I am using a Sandisk 32 gb ultra, bought in the store. And I was trying to write my image back to this same card after a full format (first I wipe the Linus partition with a quick format in my Sony camera, then I do a full (overwrite) format , with 'format size adjustment' to On in sdformatter). It's really odd but there are more reports about this issue.
rpi-clone is a better alternative imo if you want to use the same size card (or smaller) for a back up
