@sleve_mcdichael Thanks!

The Raspberry PI 4B with 8 GB of RAM. The performance gain is small for gaming because RAM is usually not the bottleneck

Eh? The performance gain past 2GB is zero. Retropie uses around 1GB with swap and all. The extra ram might help with installing emulators from source or if you want to use it as a desktop someday.

You need a compatible power adapter and lots of companies make them.

I only recommend the official psu due to reliability. They are $8US so there shouldn't be a reason to get a 3rd party psu that no one knows how reliable they are.

If you're going with a plain pi4, for a case, I recommend the argon one v2 if you don't want that nespi. It has a fan and converts the microhdmi ports into normal sized ones.

@mkp132 have you looked into running a mausberry switch? I have a Pi3b+ setup and running in and old Sears Super Video Arcade shell as the case. I installed the mausberry circuit and used the original console switch as the on/off. All you need to do is install the script and that should work.

You can even wire the mausberry off of the original cabinet power switch.

It might be easier and save you time to do it that way

@retrokada where do you get the firmware?

@Crush Thank you so much! That worked perfectly

I couldn't find any contact info for them.
I am very sorry, I was just looking for any help.

@MrCoffee The RetroFlag Snes controllers are the best aftermarket wired Snes controllers i have tested.

@studysession double check your GPIO connection. Also try switching to unsafe shutdown (switch in the case PCB) if you have that and see if you have it to power on.

I saw that too, but I want to know what I would need to do for the SNES case.

@malingjc check content of your rc.local please. Can you post content of this file to pastebin.com please?

@SolemnSpirit Thanks that helped!, the moment i remove the key_mgmt, i was able to connect to the wireless! :D i appreciate you posting this!

My understanding from watching various YT reviews of the Mega Drive Mini is that the Mega Pi is slightly smaller but more substantial feeling, so I imagine that would put the kibosh on the "Tower of Power" thing sadly. That said, I noticed that Retroflag recently brought out a nice addition to the SNES version which adds a (purely cosmetic) cartridge to it. I wonder if they're eyeing up the Tower of Power and considering it as a potential future product addition to their Mega Pi? Would be nice if so.

God I love my Mega Pi. I give it a wee cuddle every day you know. It's nothing weird.

Honest.

@joharibk hiding the boot text has nothing to do with Pegasus and this Pegasus Theme, even less.
Maybe you need to follow this tutorial of how to hide the boot text

It was the bloody power source! I didn't bother hooking it up to a decent power brick because I figured the Pi zero didn't need as much juice as my Pi 3... Idiot... Thanks for your inputs guys.

@mitu said in Custom safe shutdown text / screen:

@lesk No, you'll need to edit the /etc/rc.local file and replace the 1st line (which should have been added by the RetroFlag script) with the 2nd one. Use sudo nano /etc/rc.local to edit the file.

Okay thanks! I will give this a shot ^^

@mitu Thanks Bro, fixed!

If your Gpi is a newer model, the select button was changed to the start button, so select+DPAD LEFT becomes start+DPAD LEFT.
