maybe you can try this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21573/ledspicer-new-led-animation-controller-for-linux

Okay...Thanks.

@romanCitizen that's way out of date. Use the current docs. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

Welcome to this forum. Please provide us with the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@MisterMints Okey thx must have misunderstood the tutorial hehe..

@noiz13 First, you should answer the questions asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, as requested by the forum. For your particular controller, see these topics covering similar problems https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/92/solved-unable-to-correctly-register-bluetooth-controller-with-emulationstation-on-retropie-3-6 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4487/ipega-pg-9055-buttons-undetected-in-emulator

@kidcy Not a problem. Glad to hear that it worked out for you.

I have a question, could you manage to get a GPIO output to toggle from high to low or vice versa when something happens in the game? are there any methods to detect if gameover or highscore happens? I ask because I have RGB mood lighting on my cabinet, and would love to make it flash and strobe etc if you die or get a highscore etc. I understand that detecting an emulator starting and detecting what happens inside the emulator are two different things, but you dont get if you dont ask :)

@paulatkinson616 said in N64 Controller: I really only intend to play N64 games on it Temper your expectations if you want to use a pi solely for n64. Some games are playable, but many have issues. Even on the PC n64 emulation struggles.

Yeah thanks, can you do that off any controller inputs or do I need to get a key board?

@beamquaker No problem, just post any questions you have.

Okay, it looks like I have it running pretty clean now. Thank you all so much. Next I'll try to figure out how to add Famicom CDS, Super Famicom, Virtual Boy and maybe Game & Watch directories/roms to my build. Time to start hunting through the threads [slaps and rubs hands together in eager excitement] :)

oh wait i had to restart

Pretty sure I needed up fixing all my issues.

@marc.knuckle try getting multiple roms to test. Also put the bios zip in with the roms in the roms folder. (Just in case its looking for it there) Because the mame/fba roms get updated some of the roms might not be compatible if you dont have the correct version of rom with the version of fba/mame that is on the pi. So testing only one rom does you no good.
