Got it, thank you very much sir appreciate it.

I might be a homebrew clone of the game, or a self-extracting archive. Where did you get it, @Dresher?

However, exe files are binary files for Windows or MS DOS and can't be "made" into other extensions.

(At first, I wondered what a "game stacker" might be. 😊)

@Bravenstein
How did you update without a network connection?

I think you are on a wrong track - if I may be wrong then please take my excuse serious. But for now I am going to deep sleep mode ;)

I was just being curious if there's more to it than a simple gimmick.

@cjohnson26 the Pie will boot and the function of these few lines are just to ask status for a sensor after the has booted.
But for your idea to work as on off switch for booting up a device this also works but you do not need a code or something. Just connect the hall effect sensor like a switch on a power device like the Mausberry or a Pimoroni on off SHIM and it will act like a button press. For switching of you need to ask status then you can use that code.

Enjoy retropie! It’s class.

@capninja You're now dropped to a shell where you can execute commands as root. The # is the command line shell prompt. The usb keyboard problem could be because the USB drivers are not initialized in safe-mode.
I think that the safest option is to re-install. There's too much fiddling with the CLI and it will be safer. Even if you managed to recover the sudo functionality, there's a high chance something else is broken and normal operations would not work.

@capninja said in Understanding the code:

Is there some game or interactive way to learn about code language and linux (on Raspberry)? Messing with Raspberry the curiosity itch caught my back and I can't scratch enough. I don't wanna just copy texts and press enter, but know why make such decisions.
I don't know if I made myself clear, thanks in advance.

If you're new to coding I can suggest you to start out with C programming. C is portable and universal, many popular programming languages are influenced by C such as Java, JavaScript, C#, C++, PHP, Python. So after learning C these languages mentioned will be very easy to learn.

IMHO the BEST C book is: C How to Program by Deitel. It also covers secure programming and C++. C Programming Language by Ritchie Dennis is also a great book but not for beginners. Avoid the for Dummies books, they're horrible.

Bjarne Stroustrup has written a couple C++ books, they're considered one of the best C++ books. I have them in eBook format but I'm still on the Deitel book.

Most emulators are written in C/C++, the Pi supports C/C++, Linux was written in C. So IMHO better start with C and later C++ and good luck with your coding journey, it will be a lot of fun!

@rbaker he already has a thread open for this issue. No need to duplicate it here.

If this helps you, then I looked at the review on this site. There are other adapters there, but I'm not sure about them.

@john0007 said in SD card use. Download retropie:

@dankcushions thanks. So can someone help me how can I download the retropie. It's giving me problems on network error and corrupted when download.

What error(s) did it give you exactly? What browser or other software did you do the download with?

I think I have now resolved this issue - for anyone else who has suffered from similar woes, I quit out of Emulation Station and did

sudo rpi-update

to update the firmware. Now the left and up axes seem to be recognised properly - watch this space to see if I have other problems! (I'll bet good money that I do lol)

@rbaker kool thanks

welcome! however....

@superm1887 said in I really need help :(:

I recently loaded a wdg imag

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Make sure you are using an official image, or have done a manual install yourself. We will not support 3rd party images

please install the standard image and we can help you.

@sammylj Hmm. That escape exit situation sounds like you still have hotkeys enabled. Scan through your retroarch.cfg for hotkey and set it to "nul" or comment out the setting. I am running with a dedicated exit (escape) and I don't need to press anything else, just my single exit button.

ok, I returned my SD card and i am starting all over. i googled it and now i am wondering if my microSD is not compatible.

it is: lexar 16gb high-performance 300x microSDHC UHS-I (uhs-1?)

says it is a class 10. LSDMI16GBB1NL300A

There is one UHS-I that isnt compatible on this page: http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

but it says it is an SDXC and mine is an SDHC. i cant find the exact product code on the list but there a couple of close ones and i would rather just return this one now than muck this one up too.

I solved the problem myself after doing alot of research. I found a 12 v power supply with a molex connector and a set of daisy chain wires that can power of molex and light the leds.

@incrediblekyle second that, I cant get n64 to work yet, I need a working config file for the ds4 on the n64

@SonPluck /dev/shm/runcommand.log

It won't work if you remove the SD to plug in another computer because files under /dev/shm are RAM based, which means that they only exist while the raspi is on.
