@retroven As recommended have a look at the docs, but here is a couple of quick answers Most popular emulators are already installed and will show up automatically when you add roms. Optional emulators can be installed from retropie-setup if needed but for that you will need the docs Adding artwork is easiest using a scraper such as skyscraper https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper Not sure but probably. I haven't updated on my pi as it is all set up and working great

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

The auto-USB copy function has historically only copied NEW files from USB to Pi. It would go through the files on the USB stick and copy over anything that wasn't already on the Pi. You don't lose anything on the pi.

Even the Bezel issue has been solved, it shows the MD stuff as uninstalled while are properly installed...

@AJ2425 said in Some buttons not responding during PS controller configuration: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this points to it being a controller issue. Well, if the controller works with your PS2, then it's an adapter issue - you might want to get that checked - or try it also on a PC.

@mitu said in Questions about controller buttons, logins, and Steven Scraper: but when we're talking about custom tags, Thanks for the quick response. I'll try the autostart and login. I don't have any custom tags...I just want to make sure that the redone videos aren't overwritten by the original videos. I'm not too worried about the favorite/playcount/etc stuff right now. I just want to get this all up and running. I ordered a replacement SANWA JLF-TP-8YT-SK joystick to swap into my controller. The stock stick is not very accurate, but I got it super-cheap and couldn't pass it up.

My most favorite is Final Fantasy. I used to really like Minecraft (that I downloaded free from apknite), but my bias has turned to FF for a while

@mitu its reinstalling now thanks so much for your help i love the rasperry pi and am having a blast learning this

Forgot to ask about the best memory distribution? Since I remembered that you can change it via startx pretty easily. Also thanks for the help so far! Using Kodi 18 Beta 4 as well now and I like it alot.

Final Update: Turns out it was my charger all along . Here is what I ended up doing. From my Pi3 I run a DC Barrel Jack to Micro-USB B Male Connector (http://a.co/d/4yVdU3c) . Then from the barrel jack I have a normal power supply (http://a.co/d/7j0vMr3) . No voltage issues at all and everything seems fine.

@mcsteve Assuming your controller has enough buttons to support all of the N64 buttons, all of those buttons are available by default if you configured all of the buttons on your controller during the initial gamepad detection. If you need to reconfigure it I recommend resetting your controller configuration in the Retropie system menu->Retropie Setup so that it prompts you again.

@trendkiller I just wanted a retro machine to play some games and now it's backfiring on me and I'm out of a lot of money We see problems like this come up a lot with pre-made RetroPie setups found on places like EBay and Amazon. Unfortunately, the machines shipped out are usually just hanging by a thread of functionality due to the seller's lack of care/knowledge. As a result, we are unable to support these particular setups. RetroPie is actually free and runs on very inexpensive hardware. It's really important that you set the system up yourself so that you'll be more intimately acquainted with the components and better understand what may have gone wrong as problems arise. The good news is that, despite being initially scammed by an unscrupulous seller, you now own all the components necessary to begin fresh with a clean install of your own making. Should choose to do so, all the information you'll need is laid out here.

Also, the config file is located in the folder supplementary within the driver folder ControlBlockService2.

@quicksilver perfect thanks.

@pickles I strongly suspect a faulty SD card. It's known that they get into a read-only state when they're approaching their end.

As Herb says, the official image overwrites everything and Emulation Station loads automatically. It basically works right out of the box, just copy rooms over and plug in a controller or keyboard.

For default controller mapping here is a link: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#default-joypad-hotkeys Oops mitu just beat me to it

@boneclaw Try another website for your roms (Google "roms" and use the first result). And NEVER open that exe. Most likely some form of malware. ---edit--- Late to the party apparently... ;)

I've been playing around on my Pi3 to figure out what works and such, and have quickly discovered my 32 GB MicroSD card isn't nearly large enough. I'm probably going to get 128 GB MicroSD cards for my Pi 3's (though if I see a good enough deal on a 256 GB card...), but I'm trying to figure out how much space I'll need for my Pi 0, and I have one question (because I don't have a second microSD to use for the Zero to test things out atm). I know that the Pi 0 will probably be more limited with the SNES games, because the SNES apparently needs a 3GHz processor to perfectly emulate, but are there any similar limitations for the GBA? I know in actual technical capabilities the GBA is better than the SNES, but it is also much newer, so not sure if the same kind of hardware emulation issues would hinder GBA emulation.
