Awesome! I set up open box to start with 1280x720, verified it via the log, and it worked perfectly with the threading set false. Looks way better than it did set true, has better response/less lag, and of course the screensaver doesn't kill it after 10 minutes.

Thanks so much for your help with my problem.

Here is how the finished NES Cartridge should look. Remember this is my version. feel free to change it however you see fit.

Regards.

Im confused.

???

@tobas Are you using a Raspberry Pi or a PC?

if what retrowertz suggested doesn't solve your problem try to set mouse index to '0' for every user binds

As with the old controller, there's no 1:1 mapping between the cables/wires and the actual buttons - you can't wire it directly to the GPIO and expect it to automatically work, you'll need a driver.
When you're talking about the 'new' NES controller, do you mean the one for the NES Classic Mini or the one for the Switch ?
The controller for the NES Classic Mini has the same port type as a Wii (U) Classic controller - see here and here for details.

@Xabib2302 Care to give more details about this format or examples for which System/Emulator should this be added ?

I wonder how quickness determines the region - there's nothing in the Core Options (like Nestopia or Fceumm) which can select the Region. How is the ROM file named ?

@Sano
Wow!...
Yes, this is most likely it. Found this discussion on the same topic.

Hi
I wanted to know if the lightgun is compatible with LR-FBNeo
is it possible to have a list of emulators compatible with it present in Retropie? thanks

@ledow I completely agree. All of my AV cables are AmazonBasics. I just got six HDMI for like $12

correction They were $10 for three cables @ 3ft and I bought six. I'm to trying to slowly consolidate my living room and bedroom rat nests so I'm rewiring everything with shorter cables. On a sidenote, it's going to be really fun to rewire the network, but I'll get to install that switch finally, so yay for that!

I tried scraping for the ROMs you mentioned and I had no problems. For reference, here are the ROM names and their MD5 checksum:

Super Mario Bros. (World).zip (md5 - 2961ae52ee8dee9a9fbc7680ced1f741) Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA).zip (md5 - 200edb85a698ccf5e11a0dcee0e0e771) Super Mario Bros. 3 (USA).zip (md5 - 1961b6290a81c4665109951bbeb9bd55)

I take it nobody uses the GPIO for anything?!?

@mitu said in Noob questions about multiple controllers and USB boards:

It's in the get started section - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/. ES tries to cover for all possible buttons and joysticks present on a PS or Xbox controller. There's also a video linked which shows this process.

I've seen that, and I guess I'm not fully grasping how it's going to behave because that only shows "one controller detected". I assume that "one detected" is because one USB is device is plugged in in that example, and it's offering the options which go with that controller (SNES, Xbox 360, PS3, etc.) being plugged in. It doesn't explain how the menu will look when I have two separate USB boards and possibly a third (i-pac2 with ball and spinner), and what will be presented as options for each. I assume with my custom-built cabinet, I will get some sort of "generic controller" detected, so I am wondering what options it will give me. It also isn't clear where/when/if the hotkey action options appear - it lists the defaults at the bottom but not in the format of the stuff above. Are the hotkey action items listed in order to be assigned, or do they default as indicated and you can only change them by going into the config menu?

Also, one post I saw seemed to indicate that if you reassign a hotkey action to a single button on your cabinet (rather than leaving it as "hotkey + (button or joystick direction)", then all the other hotkey actions must be assigned a single button and can't remain as a two-press action. Is that correct?

Each console has its own gamepad - see this page for a detailed overview. The main variation is within the Arcade games, where it really depends on the game - but that's not really my area of expertise. You can look up various builds posted on the forum for real cabinets and their setup and others might chime in and give you advice.

Yeah, I've read various threads opining on button arrangement, but my question is really a derivative of the above questions; I'm less worried about arranging the buttons for my gameplay and more concerned about what other buttons I should have on my cabinet in order to make it easy for my little kids and for visitors to play.

@glimo this is explained in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/

You need ROMs with headers. Headerless ROMs will not work.

Looks like a custom color palette. Which emulator ? What RA version ? Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu It does yes. It looks like there is a reset command in that generic script. the power block handles the LED and the shutdown, I just need the reset to exit the emulator thats running to go back to the games.

Ill look into that method you posted and see if I can get that to work for me. Its the last thing to complete this.

Thanks for the link. ( I must have skipped past it in my searches because I didn't think it did reset(or exit emulator))
