@mitu thanks, I'll try it!

@mitu Well ... looks like you are right. :D

Edit:
Fixed! ;)

After trying a few times, and it crashed my pi, it finally just worked, and I was able to map the buttons in emulationstation. The light will always move from left to right at the bottom of the pad, but it seems to work fine (for now).

I'm having a similar issue. When you run emulationstation --debug, it recognizes the controllers beautifully.

Even when rebooting, it goes directly to the system list but the controllers don't work. Re-reun with --debug and it works fine.

Any suggestions?

Update for anyone who is curious, I ended up buying an "8BitDo Adapter 2". After updating the adapter's firmware using 8BitDo's firmware updater, the adapter makes it pretty easy to connect a Nintendo Switch SNES controller to a Retropie.

@barbudreadmon Thank you very much.

Wow so cool looking forward to the finished product!

A couple of my favorites:

Logitech F710

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
https://store.nintendo.com/pro-controller.html

The Logitech is pretty affordable, works right out of the box, and uses 2.4GHz wireless adapter so you don't have to mess with bluetooth pairing. Supports rumble.

The switch pro is more expensive, but the stick would be in a better position for N64 games. It does use bluetooth so it needs to be paired, but I had no trouble with getting it to work.

@iandaemon My current cab is also of the custom variety. A bartop on a pedestal that I could squeeze in a corner, but nowhere near a full size machine.

I'd love to test this on a raspberry pi when you are ready for beta testers.

@crush Yeah, I think Vilros was going for the original 6 button layout rather than the extra features Retro-bit did. The Retro-bit controllers are admittedly a nicer option as far as Genesis goes.

I think I'd prefer my 8bitDo SN30 pro for SNES and Playstation. But I plan to get this set for the NES and N64 options, and the rest can be used as controllers by friends/family. I've yet to decide what I want to do for Sega, but I may just get this one and get the Retro-bit when I have the luxury of extra game budget.

@YFZdude ,

Read your post. Didn't know there was a 3D option.
I had some Yellow/Blue glasses laying around and tested them.
They are from a "Konig electronics" 2d to 3d video converter.
As you know, these glasses are not perfect, but It worked quite well on a normal monitor i must say.
The palette does not work in "anaglyph 3d modus". It all seems to be"white-ish".

I will also try my 3D TV with shutterglasses.
Seems all the 3d options are there !

@gderber I just relized that I don't have a computer powerful enough to test this. Good luck getting it to work!

I counldn't figure out how to use drastic, so I used Ir-dusume 2015 instead, which works great and is 10x easier to use.

Here are some Atari Lynx Bezels I've been holding on to for a while now.

@Jiryn said in Can you change the Virtual Boy color?:

Is that the command-X quick key when in game?

Yes, that's how you access it. There should be an Options menu entry in the list, enter it (A) and then you can change that option (use the D-Pad). After setting it, just exit and restart the game.

EDIT: you also change the palette to B&W (instead of black and red) from the same Options menu.

Thank you so much!

@TechNovice the biggest thing I would have changed is I would not have used melamine wood, however, then it would not have been a "recycled" project. The angled edges of the melamine cuts like of SOB. Also, Paint adherence has been problematic. I would have also figured out a better method of attached the bezel/plexi where it could be removed without removing the entire monitor for cleaning. Third, the nintendo logo on the marquee is a bit too big, so I had to use double stick tape to secure the marquee instead of a bezel mount. That I can fix, I just need to make a new graphic.
