anything is possible, but tbh it looks like more truble than it will be worth. obviusly you will need to remove some of the board and you will most likely also need a new control board for the screen and will therefore most likely not fit inside the old case either. cosiddering all this and the fact that you had to ask if it was possible, i would say this is likely a job way above your skillset and not worth the efford, for you. personally i would just get one of the many kits available.

@mitu alright thanks a lot for your answers :)

Emulationstation doesn't support that, but you can check AttractMode or Pegasus.

RetroPie includes several arcade emulators, including older versions of Mame, FBAlpha and even the current Libretro Mame branch (lr-mame). Take a look at the Arcade section of the docs to see what is available. I think cocktail mode works with at least lr-mame2003 (see Tate mode).

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. 😊)

Bummer! Thanks for the answer though! :)

JUST LIKE THIS.

I tested this with success. But I had to set dtoverlay=dpi24 and dpi_output_format=6 to fix some incorrect colors and use the below NTSC 320x240 timing line: hdmi_timings=320 1 23 30 34 240 1 4 3 15 0 0 0 60 0 6400000 1

@lurker said in Is it Legal to use an arcade machine running retropie, put it in a public place and charge quarters to use it?: It is like that in all sorts of things. Notice you will rarely see soda vending machines offer Coke AND Pepsi at the same time. Well said. :) @benjaminjay I agree that most game cafe's and such don't do their full due diligence in terms of having full legal right to do everything they do. I can tell, as my return to the emulation scene after many years of hibernation was triggerd by an obviously custom made MAME cocktail table in a German craft beer bar in Winter 2016. Now, I have a self-made upright cabinet in my living room. Damn those bar operators! ;) (and the "good friend" who led us there)

@vof Nintendo DS, possibly, but definetly not Gamecube or PS2. The latter two are fairly intensive systems to emulate, especially the PS2, and you'll almost certainly be getting very low frames per second. (very possibly <1 FPS) Those two are really only suited for relatively beefy machines and high-end netbooks.

Here is a list of supported resolutions: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md Looks like it isn't on there

@luffy928 said in Curiosity: nd on the home screen It's already in Showcase. The theme folder name is called "pixel". In your es_systems.cfg file, you can change the <theme> to pixel or just rename the folder to whatever your es_systems.cfg file is using. That should have it show up on the main menu for you.

@tonytoon Take a look to the NESPi case from retroflag http://retroflag.com/ It's a nice finish with fron USB available and it provides enough ROM for switches ... I think a 1.8" HDD will also fit with an ease

@thewinterdojer yes it's also the emu station Menu

sweetness thanks for the answer

You can run RetroArch on a number of different things. I have it on a 3DS, but it's not "RetroPie" where it ties everything together neatly with an EmulationStation front end.

Reckon one of these is worth £3.50, and will it just be on all the time? Or is it just pointless junk? https://thepihut.com/products/adafruit-miniature-5v-cooling-fan-for-raspberry-pi-and-other-computers?variant=31955934417 Rob

@FoxWordsmith7 no. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules
