@mitu Ah thanks for the advice. Turns out I only have the Pi3 so even if I could somehow set up the thing to recognise I had a Saturn emulator on it, it's like you said it more than likely wouldn't run very well or even at all. And to think I spent all afternoon browsing the thing's files to try and find a backdoor. Oh well. Sticking to pre 1995 consoles for now it seems.

I am updating the topic to share that I actually was able to update the core Buster image to the latest kernel and both of these settings are in place. For any users that want to try NVME boot over PCI-e, I cloned the boot and root folders over to my NVME drive after doing a full update on eMMC (SD works just as well).

For anyone reading with the same problem, the monitor works now with the new active adapter that comes with its own power supply

Get a powered USB hub and use it to connect the USB encoders to the Pi. The Pi may not be able to provide enough power for the encoders.

@ExarKunIv @SuperFromND
It's about $200 for the 8GB model with 512GB Memory.

What impressed me was they were playing Dreamcast and Gamecube games pretty damn well on it in the stream previews -

So much so, they ever advertise it as a feature. - https://picopc.net/pages/pantera-pico-pc-specs

Which makes me wonder about games like Carnevil and other arcade titles.

It is nice that the pi 5 is out of the “rumor” stage and now is officially known to be in development. I wonder if they will pull the 64bit is out of beta when it is released.

@iandaemon @mitu
Booting into terminal fixed the problem and the games worked.
Thank you for the help 🙏

@ryan said in Hello New here please help:

I am making an arcade with a IPAC2. How can I set up a two-player system once I'm on retropie? Thanks.

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Keyboard-Controllers/#configuration-example-ipac

Added an automatic installation script today:

Also some stability fixes and expanded controller support since my last post.

@CodeKing Try installing the desktop first - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go - and then selecting the boot to desktop - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi.

Make sure you're package list fully updated first - run sudo apt update from a terminal or use the RetroPie-Setup update function to update the OS/packages.

@Noe5 Please add more information about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Also i have found out i needed to update all emulators from within Retropie-setup. i seems the achievements normally only work with the latest versions of the emulators.

@mitu mb xD Thanks anyway

Still though, would have been nice for Citra to benefit from USB ROM transfer and stuff.

@mitu Thanks for the answer, I understood everything, I will think.

@mesprit It's just the way to make things easier. On barely every mashine BASIC will show Hello World with

The CPU instructions for doing this are different so you might need a different BASIC interpreter for every "system".

But this is also very abstractive - but hope you get it.
Imho you can use a Pi0/1 image on a Pi2/3 revision but you will loose benefits for some optimized emulators. That's what @mitu said in his previous posting.
