You're still quite knowledgeable and helpful though.

Sorry for the trouble man.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_(video_game)

More than a year later, North America and Europe received releases on the Nintendo Entertainment System in cartridge format, making the game the first home console title to include an internal battery for saving data.

which is why it works for that as the hardware/flash is emulated by the emulator.

some mame games support hiscore saving via a file which details the part of memory which contains the scores etc so the emulator can dump/reload that part. I don't know if any of the nes emulators have any functionality like this.

The answer is yes. The issue might be finding the right power adapter the fit the plug as the OEM adapter for the nes was 9v, 1amp.

@fun4stuff good you solved it! :-)

@BuZz

thanx a lot for helping out and your patience with me.
Will have a good look at https://github.com/retropie, before i bother you again. :-)

thanx !!

@b00stnv8 Thanks for your answer. I'm a bit confused about your ON/OFF LED. On which pins did you solder your LED ? Same for your Shutdown scripted button ? I found some interesting answers too here for the GPIO power state led and here for the safe shutdown switch. Tell me what do you think about it.

@dsfrancis got my controllers configured. Now I just need to apply my shaders and I'm set.

@markyh444 haha whoops. Leave it to me to miss the big red ban flag next to the name lol

Need nes roms with headers. Also please provide more information when posting as mentioned in the link at the top of the screen and as agreed when you signed up.

@DeFect83 they might be the roms that have every version of one game all in one zip file. That is why this usually happens.

@infocorn

The light gun games can be played through lr-nestopia with a mouse, air mouse and/or various PC arcade guns that act as mice. Unfortunately, while there is also support for emulating the Power Pad via gamepad buttons, I've never run across a NES to USB adapter that supported the actual Power Pad peripheral itself.

Very nice job on those cabinets! Just Beautiful.
I personally like the Tron one. ;-)

I kinda miss the fighting game cabinet designs. Most guys when they build bar top cabinets they use Nintendo characters or classic arcade game designed decals/bezels. I would love to see a nice Street Fighter or any NeoGeo fighting game designed cabinet.
Another thing I wonder is the button layout out. Is that chosen on purpose or just matching the decal design?
I cannot imagine to play all too long on such a cabinet without getting wrist pain. When I used to build my own arcade sticks I always went with the Japanese stick and button layouts or the same one like Hori does for their sticks. Check here.

@herb_fargus I kind of figured so, but I thought maybe someone found one somewhere. Oh well, I can play on my Mac.

@dover19 note you don't have to do this manually - it can be changed from within RGUI when in a game.

Great thanks for good feedback, and I really liked the video there @Shakz.

I actually got out and bought a better power supply and got rid of the yellow lightning bolt after I read your answers, however I couldn't find one that hosted a USB port rather than a fixed cable with a Micro USB-interface. I have now done a quick-and-dirty attachment of it to the PiNES but I'll try to find a better solution to be able to connect the power via a USB B cable since that will be better for transportation and general look overall.

However thanks again, I feel the subject is closed and I'll just have to find the proper gadget to handle it. :)

All the best,

@Arnik eg didn't read wiki mentioning the note about header less ROMs
