I don't want to start over if I buy a raspberry Pi 4 as it took me a long time to put this image together.

this was an image downloaded from arcade punks

You lied. You refuse to start over fresh on a pi4 because you decided to stay ignorant on a DIY hobby. You ordered the old 3b+ because of this. /facepalm.
Arcade Punks have their own forum if you don't agree with the rules here.

I see no difference downloading an image with games included and ready to go.

Their configurations are altered which produces bugs unique to those images. One of the reasons we won't troubleshoot those.

My 3b+ arrived last night and yes, the SD card image works. So relieved! 😁

Oh...and when I said that it took me a long time to put together I wasn't lying. Just because I didn't download everything required separately doesn't mean it was easy.

My computer is roughly 15 years old and it took a long time to transfer over everything to the SD card when the download was done. Had to keep the computer on overnight to finish the transfer. Not to mention downloading a 64gb file took all day.

So that's why I didn't want to start over. If that's a form of ignorance then so be it.
I got an awesome image with over 22,000 games on it. It took a long time to get that done so it's natural I wanted to preserve it and not start over.

The new pie is running considerably faster and I am enjoying it thoroughly. Hell, I might do it the old-fashioned way and build something from scratch now that I have a faster board. I really didn't need a raspberry Pi 4 anyway because I wasn't using it to play harder games like Dreamcast, N64or PSP.

I have no regrets buying "old" hardware as you put it. I stand by my decision regardless of what anybody thinks. I also saved a lot of money going this route because all I ordered was the board and nothing else. I already have a power supply that works with it and a raspberry Pi 2 case that fits. If I bought the raspberry Pi 4, I would have spent double because I have to buy everything from scratch.

So what's that saying... Ignorance is bliss!!!
Yes sir it is. 👍

I have this controller, It is the case linux does not have the usb dongle drivers it works fine in the usb though without the wireless adapter

@blackshadow said in NDS on raspberry pi 2:

erent emulator as drastic gets stuck in the background after exit that and any games using mics wont launch i tihnk a zelda game is included in that aswell
so yeah pi 2 or 3 doesnt really matter for drastic just

Yes, my intention is just to make a portable console. I'll investigate more about the zelda game. Zelda is a must, I hope it works :)

@lurker that was the objective. not really how long the time is between a button clicked and received. but the delay time of the recorder in contrast to the button as GPIO. but if the delay time is so minuscule then you answered my question. its useless to compare. ty

@saint_jimmy Happy to help! No, just follow the instructions and from then on you can just plug your usb flash drive in your pc and transfer your games to the usb. Save files will be stored there as well.

.exe and .bat files will appear in the "pc" section of EmulationStation, so you can surely put the needed commands into a batch file, yes.

Second and third video is now online!

I upgraded from a Pi2 to a Pi3 by switching the card over, the only thing I had to do other than replace the power supply, was to check the wireless settings as I used to have a Edimax USB wifi, and I moved over to use the Pi3's internal wireless.

Yeah, ppsspp is a good bit faster and more accurate than lr-ppsspp. Some games you can run well at 1080p, some will run certain sections well, some will just choke. Depends on the game.

Pi2 I have played:
Hotshots Tennis at 1080p full speed except when the camera zooms in on the tennis court.
Gurumin at 1080p, parts of town are very slow. Inside the house is full speed, as are most gameplay levels.

I can test more later. Will have to figure out how to use the USB rom location. Games are big. :D

Definitely use ppsspp instead of lr-ppsspp. But keep a keyboard handy. You can't exit to the menu with the joystick.

@NintendoFan64 buy a usb wifi adapter

you will probably need a powered usb hub for the controller.

Hi,

Couldn't pin point the problem with this, so I've done a new build. The kodi on this build is running at 10% idle.

The only thing I can think off, is ive written a script which is cause kodi to sap up the cpu. Will just have to test as I go along to find what was causing it.

Wow thanks! I could have sworn I'd removed and added again. but this process worked. Cheers!!

I can confirm everything is working again. Many thanks.

Then I'll try to upgrade to version 4.0. The UI and functions have improved a lot comparing to 3.3.

Thanks for the reply suprjami. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work looking at those two links. My knowledge of linux just isn't good enough.

If only there was a way to use a conditional statement within asound.conf that checks to see if the USB headset is plugged in before changing the default output to it.

@jmebd That kind of questions, it is better for you to ask them in the kodi oficial forum, or another forums more dedicated to that kind of subject. I have a PVR backend configured + some clients but I am no expert in this, it is a very simple setup and I don't use it much. My provider transmits the channels in h264, I never had stuttering problems or whatsoever, even on RPI 1. And this is a retrogaming forum, surely you will find better support for your doubts in more appropriate places.

@wetriner I'm really sorry, but can you give me step by step instructions on that? I don't want to F anything up after I've came this far...
