@Derbyste Happy to help. But I mean, if you're interested in MegaDrive, you can get the MegaPi case for the RPI 3b which is VERY nice in my opinion (I personally own one).

@ReadyPlayaWon said in Mad Dog McCree Dos Box Help: 3DO Hi ReadyPlayaWon May i ask ... i did get my pi 4 and im enjoying it alot i just tested the mad dog on 3do emulation and i was wondering , im using the dolphen bar/wii mote to use as a light gun ... i dont know how to reload ... any advice or tips?

Addendum: You could (re-)compress the uncompressed .cue and .bin pairs (or multiples) to the CHD format with will often shrink them up to around 50% of their former size and put them into just one file you can drop into your roms/psx directory. In my experience, those CHDs will run in 80-90% of the cases. This one-liner will do that with all cue files and their corresponding bin files in the current directory. for i in *.cue; do chdman createcd -i "$i" -o "${i%%.*}.chd"; done Important: This will cut off the filenames after the first dot for the output CHD filenames. Remove one % from "${i%%.*}.chd to cut only the last extension for compatibility with filenames with multiple dots. Beware though that this will only work with single-disk games. For storing multiple disks in one container you'll need the PBP format, which is also supported by Retropie's PSX emulators. That said, be sure to check https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/ to see which emulators support CHD if you want to go that road.

It looks like your installation is quite old and I'd say updating will not work, (Unsupported OS), and the current version does not support your - very old - Raspbian version. If you'd like to use a current version, then use the image from retropie.org.uk/download and re-image your sdcard. You can back-up your ROMs via file shares - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#making-a-backup-option-2.

@hawkes_84 we only support the rpi4 on Raspbian

@mat 4Gb is already pretty useless if you only intend to run Retropie on it.

@hooperre said in The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!: @Ecks said in The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!: I am just curious but what is the progress right now with RetroPie for the Pi 4 at the moment and sorry for asking just waiting for a build of it first before i would buy the Pi 4 and do you guys think the 2gb model would be more than enough as well? There's no ETA as far as a release or updates beyond the github that have been provided. I doubt you will get a different answer from the Retropie team. You can follow the github: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/2749 Most people view 2 GB as more than enough to run emulators and emulationstation proper. I personally jumped for the 4 GB as to be ahead of any changes. Oh ok well i wanted to buy the 4gb model but here in Canada it is a little much plus for certain arcades games i want to try out in my mind i tend to think 2gb would be enough because the first game i want to test out for sure is Killer instinct 1 and 2.

@spartrekus The right tool for the right job.

@hydro In short, no. The systems are too different.

@Teeqla I was skimming the internet trying to do a project similar to yours and was wondering if you have had any success with the Linux Joystick Mapper and if you might be able to share it if you have?

I have also now got Kodi installed onto it so its my home media center to! :)

@retroprogrammer said in Can you solder USB ports to RaspberryPi USB ports: ...because I was thinking of maybe taking apart my Original Xbox and making it into a case but the USB ports on the raspberry pi wouldn't reach the front of the Xbox and even if it did it would look good, because the Xbox has four separate Xbox-USB ports. Sometime ago i've done something similar to this, but with USB extensor like this one: Doesn't need to solder, just plug and be happy XD

@ranma i'm just talking about to put some core´s menu on the frontend, things like save state with screenshot , i'm not talking about the nintendo emulator is better than emulators on retropie, retropie is the winner choice , that's why i'm here

@edmaul69 It uses 550mA, other 2.5 harddisks use the same, the max an USB 2.0 port can use is 500mA. So it is indeed just the same drive just as any other 2.5' drive. From what I've understood people got problems with external harddisks because of their power supplies, they didn't provide enough juice.

the thing is, if I put in a sd card with raspbian, the keyboard works just fine. also I dont have another hub. however, because for some reason it will work when im exited from emulationstation, i can use the terminal. the reason why I even am trying to use the keyboard is so i can set up a controller to work, (a rock candy xbox one controller wired) so is there a way I can set up the controller, then just unplug the keyboard and use the controller from then on?

@dhtsicmdnstej wiki is editable by anyone ;) Glad you got it sorted

also check out RetroTink (retrotink.com). i've read a lot good things about it, and plan on getting a tink-ultimate model when they are released.

if the second way works, you could get away with not having to buy new control boards for all of your systems.
