Yeah, went through there and didn't find it before 'cuz it was buried in Raspbian Tools. Was just coming back to say I found it. Thank you though! :)

Nice work. I much prefer the home made "quirkier" ones (no offence) rather than flatpacks.

I've nearly finished mine...Just the marquee to fit....

@Waylander

Nice build, I went lazy. Bought a tank stick and shoved my pi2 inside lol

@rbaker fixed it, I just updated all my stuff through the source and they work now!

On a totally unrelated note: these are nifty little 3D hack games. More impressive than I was expecting. Though the graphics on most of them looked like they were designed for the SNES and just thrown in a color garbage can converter for the Genesis graphics. But I must say, PGA Tour had some jammin' music :D

Also, please note that I am using retropie 4.1 and whatever emulators come with that. They are probably a little outdated... and better? Hehe.

@caver01 said in YABT - Yet another bartop:

How do you like it when comparing the output of PI-CRT shader?

I have no comparison, because I haven't used the CRT-Pi shader so far.

This appears to be fixed...

I updated Retropie setup to 4.1.10 just now, then did an 'install from source' for lr-pcsx-rearmed.

That fixed it! I can set pad 1 to "analog" and keep the rest as "standard" and this is now correctly detected by any games I play.

I'm super confused by this, because it doesn't look like there have been any commits to this core since I filed the bug. Maybe it was a RetroPie bug?

Can anyone else who's been having this problem please try updating your biz and let me know if it fixes it for you too?

@gojira said in Official screen AND hdmi:

My goal is to make a mini gaming machine that I can use "portably" as well as plugged into a monitor.

I am also trying to do this! Did you succeed? If so, I'm very curious to hear about it!

Thank you. Very interesting. Let me consolidate and see which best method to take.

No measurable performance increase from my testing. If you build from source you will get rpi3 optimised binaries.

I've created stressberry to create standardized temperature signatures; hopefully we'll be able to properly compare all solutions with it. I'm hoping to be able to add a few more graphs in the coming weeks. Perhaps other people would like to run stressberry as well.

In my case it Lubuntu 16.04 x64. I have 4 Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers that work fine with the Microsoft USB dongle.

So I had some time to think about this while at work, and I think it might be easier to just use that NES to USB circuit (link). By using that circuit, I can combine both NES ports into a single USB plug. I saw some walkthrough examples where somebody had used that exact circuit in an NES, and the ports line up perfectly. I was also looking last night, and found a DB9 to USB adapter that might work well for Sega and Atari controllers. I've only heard of the Raphnet NES adapters from other builds, and don't know how well the Mayflash Adapter will work, and if it will work with ATARI as well.. I'd really like somebody to help me figure out if this is a good option, because I'd really like to have the option to install a way to use original controllers where possible.

Since I'm on the topic of controllers.. I have another major question. Does the system handle correctly the mappings for multiple controllers and types? So far, while waiting for all my hardware, I've been testing with just a Wireless Xbox 360 controller. I also have a Saitek P2500 controller that I was originally using before I got the Wireless Xbox 360 dongle. So does RetroPie/RetroArch still work if I have say.. 2 Xbox controllers? What if I have an Xbox Controller and the P2500? What if I don't have those, and just have 2 NES controllers? What if I'm really crazy and I'm using an NES controller and a Sega Master System controller (they're the same design more or less). Does the system handle multiple controllers, mix and match controllers, or even just 1 different controller per system? Since I'm still in the build phase, I don't have this issue NOW, but I'd like to know if this has come up and if there is a way through it.

Thanks guys! Also, I got my NES console in the mail today.. so I'm getting closer to build time!

Thanks meleu. I'm in work atm but will try tomorrow.

@FliP That is doable with ease
Take a look at my latest build, that's close to yours you want to do!

Hi,

If you have overclocked your Raspberry Pi at all, the first thing I'd suggest it removing all overclock settings and seeing how the system runs.

Secondly, I'd check that your power supply is up to the job: Looking after your Raspberry Pi – Part 1: The importance of a quality power supply (PSU)

Whether or not you have overclocking enabled, the following guides will allow you to stress/stability test the cpu, ram, and sd storage.

Part 1: Overclocking the Raspberry Pi
Part 2: Stress testing the CPU with mprime
Part 3: Stress testing the RAM with Memtester
Part 4: Stress testing the SD card storage with the Stability Test Script

Regarding the appearance of the yellow square, overheating is common on the Pi 3, however the single-core nature of the emulators in RetroPie generally means this doesn't become a problem - for more information, please see:
Overclocking the Raspberry Pi 3: Thermal Limits and Optimising for Single vs Multicore Performance

Please note that soak testing is important - I found some stability issues that were uncovered only when running these tests for up to 24 hours (that said, for any serious instability these tests will reveal problems far more quickly)

@OldDucGuy I just run the parent

Feel free to use the photos. I threw a towel down on the table to stop screws and bolts from rolling around. So, I don't really have a blue and white striped table top. lol. I had to pause the video every couple minutes to allow myself to catch up with the video and to take pictures.
