@parabolic said in Pi Zero dedicated 1 game mame. Is there a optimized build for this?:

but its well emulated in MAME

That'll entirely depend on what you mean by "well" and the MAME version you are using. Using a pi zero might impede your choice about that. For the reminder, older MAME versions will be less likely to be accurate (i.e. faithful to the original game), and the newer versions usually require better machines.

@George-Spiggott In the comments section of the raspberry pi blog the link is referring to, Upton said that he will keep the Zero 2W at $15 for now unless it gets more expensive to make them. I need a few of them so I'll try to get them as soon as I see them available.

Lakka has made some good inprovments for Gamecube, not sure how good for Wii games, but you need to overclock the heck out of your Pi to get good results on Gamecube

@bulbisaur685 said in Pi Zero - screen and i2s using same pins, no sound:

I have both devices connected to the pins on the Pi Zero, but when going into the settings for audio I am getting information that the audio is disabled

That message is shown because the audio configuration utility only knows about the on-board audio. For any other configuration - where you disabled the on-board - you'll need to configure the audio yourself.

My suggestion would be to start with the audio configuration first (in config.txt) and then try to configure the screen once you've got audio working.

If I'm not mistaked, the Pi Zero W is already clocked at 1Ghz, so your overclock will not considerably improve the system's performance.
For GBA, use lr-gpsp or gpsp as emulators, for SNES, use pisnes as emulator - this should get perform better on the Pi Zero W.

@crossmr Turns out I had the wrong image, after hours of slow downloads, I managed to get the same pi zero w image that I had before. it looks like the rom in question was being run on lr-fbalpha, not fbalpha2012. This was a retropie 4.2 image. The performance on lrfbalpha seems slightly better than the alpha2012 that is available on 4.6 retropie but still not as good as pifba.

@dankcushions said in GBA Not Launching (bios added):

update retropie-setup script, then install lr-gpsp from source.

Fantastic, took a while, but that's fixed it!

Apologies for not spotting the earlier post, I was scouring through the tag PI ZERO W rather than RASPBERRY PI 0W

Of course, that's usually my go to scraper!

That's filled a chunk of the games, I'll play about with using that and altering the file names via SSH for the rest.

I didn't it, because i won't dissamble the GPi to connect the keyboard. So i have restored the SD-Card from Backup-File to save time. Now the WiFi works fine. It's a pity that I still don't know what the cause is. I've opened the wpa_supplicant.conf file to see any difference.

country=DE^M ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicantGROUP=netdev^M update_config=1^M network={^M ssid="NETWORK"^M psk="PASSWORD"^M key_mgmt=WPA-PSK^M priority=1^M # RETROPIE CONFIG START network={ ssid="NETWORK" psk="PASSWORD" } # RETROPIE CONFIG END

It seems the same. But, it works. There must be another error.

No worries, it's a common mistake. Have fun playing games !

@SpudsMcToole I'm picky when it comes to snes emulation and for portables I understand I can't run the latest bleeding edge versions, but the zero is only powerful enough to run the oldest snes emulator available, snes9x2002. Expect lower-end emulators to only work on a zero.

I ended up getting a new 3ds. Besides supporting ds/3ds, you can inject your roms so they'll work with the official virtual console nes/snes/gen/gba/emulators if you wish to not use retroarch's emulators. It can handle snes9x2005 except for special chip games but there's also another snes emulator specially made for the 3ds. It does require a $20 ds flashcart to flash it with custom firmware, but overall I love this setup.

@BigBadHodad Glad to hear it's working for you. Below is a link to a lot of good info on setting up your GPi:

https://sinisterspatula.github.io/RetroflagGpiGuides/

Specifically the advanced controller framework section will help a lot to configure emulators (like psx) that normally would require more buttons than the GPi case has. Also check out the link to the GPi discord server at the bottom of that page, it's a nice place to hang out and meet other GPi users, if you have GPi related questions.

@mitu thanks very much for the quick reply

A Raspberry Pi Zero doesn't have a WiFi NIC, so not being able to connect to WiFi is the expected result.
Only Pi Zero W and Pi Zero WH have WiFi NICs.

@dankcushions That's waht i thought. Thank you.
