@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.

The message about the controller being detected / configured means that RetroArch starts ok. Can you try and enable verbose logging from the Runcommand launch menu when running the game, then exit the game and copy the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file over. Post it's contents on pastebin.com to take a look at what might be the error.
You'll probably need to enable SSH and use WinSCP to copy that file, since it's not available via file shares.

Ah nevermind. I started to look into forks and one of them is perfect. Basically the switchos theme but it supports boxart and a few other things.

@AP1XABAN said in NES Themed Arcade (PICS):

that NES joystick/pad looks nuts!!

You put my thoughts perfectly into words. 😆

@mitu This makes sense. Oh well, I'm just glad it's not something I was doing wrong. Thank you!

In order for the Switch to be running on any single boards computer you would have to wait for a Pi 10 to have the actual CPU and GPU power to run the games or spend almost 400$ for the nvidia jetson tx2.

Wow! No wonder why I was having different results than you with N64 games... I did the opposite! (FBemulation off on mupen-plus and not on lr-*)

Still, since they almost all are playable, it's time for a complete backup before testing those settings that you kindly compared for me!

Thanks a lot @roslof

@mitu Thanks for the reply

@MajorDangerNine It's this topic.

thanks! first one Ive ever done.

@massproduce201 you need to install the retroarch cia from their downloads page. You might even have to copy the retroarch directory structure to the root of your sd card. Not really a retropie question though, so I'd direct you to the libretro forums. They'll have the info you need.

@ruckage how did your repo of the front sticker turn out?
I'm doing a similar project and was having trouble finding a new sticker, so I was hoping you had some success! (or failures I can learn from!)

Apologies for digging up an old thread; it seemed more appropriate than creating a new topic!

@shizzmoney As long as we don't know neither of their margins or sales numbers, I think it's impossible to tell who's more criminal than the other. From Nintendo's viewpoint, the amount of distribution could be more important than the profit of the distributor, and a download site might outdo a hardware seller in the number of distributed roms significantly.

edit: @mediamogul beat me to it with more knowledge in the matter. ;)

@classicgmr yes atariage. I am pimpmaul69 on atariage.

@metroid88 said in Vs. Ice Climbers:

I'm building a coin operated arcade machine for my personal use (to helpme save some money) and I'm trying to play VS system games and PlayChoice-10 on my retroarch 4.4 build, but haven't been able to run properly some games, Like VS ICE CLIMBERS and VS SUPER MARIO, Has anyone been able to run those under MAME or FBA? What can I do to run them properly?

I can only get the VS games running in the current lr-mame. I actually did a tiny build of it with only vsnes.c driver. Runs fine on a pi3+...

The operators settled to pay Nintendo $12 millon. I wonder if this is a mere symbolic amount which they don't ever have a chance to pay off, or if they really earned that kind of money with LoveROMs and/or other enterprises.

edit: This article suspects that the amount really is symbolic to discourage others, and that Nintendo may "privately demand a smaller sum".

@edmaul69 All games I wanted in my list did work, so Wrecking Crew. It works for both, Mame2003 and the NES version. You should try this again.

It is possible to put a Pi Zero inside of the gameboy color i have seen a lot of video's on YouTube just it is a lot of work.
