      Also can anyone recommend what would be the best wired, USB or Bluetooth controllers to use buy, there are so many out there and do not want to buy one that does not work well.

      I got this iNexxt SNES type gamepad. They are about 9€ a piece, less for a bundle of two. I had one ghost click so far (in about two weeks of use) but for the price it’s a very nice controller. Feels very much like an actual SNES controller. Both of them worked perfectly, were immedately recognised by Retropie and very easy to set up.

      I'm having the same hiccups since updating to 4.4 (4.3.17 practically) but it could be a "nocebo" effect due to the hefty amount (45GB) of titles, box art and videos (unrelated to the RCA topic I made previously).

      I'm pretty sure though that things were slightly faster before (3B with 4.3 instead of 3B+ with 4.4) and that "hang for 5 seconds" thing I'm too having didn't happen until 4.3.16/17. To put it in a sentence, navigation feels a bit more laggy and stiff than before.

      However, I'm not having the second part of adm166's problem with images showing grey, etc which sounds like a VRAM issue.

      @ortsac said in How non-techie people can contribute to RetroPie project:

      And let us not forget Hardware Issues as well. There are also issues/questions that pop-up involving the hardware side of RPi or the console/controller.

      Sure! I think that my info about helping others here in the forums includes hardware issues as well. ;-)

      Start small. Just move over some ROMs that you think you'd want to play first. The basics are all covered in that link I gave you.

      Thanks! I was saying because I heard that kawaks runs better games like King of Fighter that's why I was asking but I change the video mode for Lr-fba-next to Dmt-6 and it works much better I guess that's the One.

      @glennlake said in new pie user. how to install LCD to work with retropie:

      @isayno The pi3 needs 2 to 2.5 amps by it's self to run well. If the screen is pulling power from the pi I think that is your problem. I couldn't find a manual for your screen but in the remarks on Amazon's site saying he had some problems. I will paste it here:
      "Works pretty well and Does what I need it to do. I followed the instructions others have posted to get the pi to display to the screen and it works perfectly. Has a weird quirk which I cant seem to figure out. I decided not to power the screen from the USB of the pi so that I don't have any power issues when the pi is running. But if my power source is separate I.e 1 power source for the pi then another for the screen nothing will display on to the screen. However if I have 1 power source lets say a battery bank with 2 USB ports and the pi and screen are powered off that everything works fine. But once I power the screen on separate battery bank nothing is displayed again. Which I find odd that the screen needs to be powered on by what seems to be the same power circuit as the pi and that it's not just hdmi. Weird but for my application they're on the same power source anyways."
      It looks like the power source for the pi and the screen needs to be from the same source. My guess is the ground may be the issue but I have no other info. Hope this helps.

      I have essentially the same kit, but mine was from Canakit. It will do the job. Yes you can set it up from a Mac.

      There are a ton of guides online and you would do well to familiarize yourself with the wiki content here. For real. Read it. Understand it.

      Sorry I solved my own problem. Needed to be connected to wifi to install the app. I was under the impression it came preloaded.
