@bio_hazard1282 do non-rom hacks work? emulators often break support for rom hacks.

@clyde

I'd install RetroPie with normal NOOBS along with Raspberry Pi OS. But I can't get the RetroPie folder that I can paste in the 'os' folder.

It would be nice to install retropie with NOOBS, but it isn't an option.

Are you running RetroPie/EmulationStation from a desktop session ?

@rtarroyo said in Remove Initial Boot Screen:

using the terminal remotely is lightyears better, I feel stupid for not knowing that was an option.

Then please spread the word, as many people (especially Windows users) think about the terminal as backward and cumbersome, while in fact it's very powerful and no rocket science with a little willingness to learn.

I compare it sometimes to a Swiss Army knife next to the everyday knife and fork (the graphical desktop), or a look under a car's hood in addition to its dashboard. 😉

Besides remote administration, it's perfect for doing the same thing over and over, e.g. processing a big number of files (example, example).

To become even more efficient with the terminal, I can highly recommend to check out its keyboard shortcuts, especially those for Tab Completion and the Command History.

End of the noncommercial break. 🤓

@mitu said in It's possible to integrate Samurai Showdown Perfect in Retropie?:

EDIT: samsh5fe titlescreen is still 'Samurai Showdown V Special', maybe it's not the 'perfect edition'.

Fullname of samsh5fe is "Samurai Shodown V Special (Final Edition, location test version)", it is indeed what some people refer to as "Perfect Edition". The word "Perfect" feels kinda counterfeit though, afaik they simply removed some gameplay elements from "Samurai Shodown V Special" (probably making the game more casual in the process) to make room for a story mode.

Except if you are using a non-merged romset, you'll probably need its parent samsh5sp.

@fcibx6r1un said in It's possible to integrate Samurai Showdown Perfect in Retropie?:

From what I understand the "Perfect" edition of the game is an emulator that runs the "Special" edition, and overlays it with new content. It isn't a self-contained ROM.

To be more precise, the commercial emulator from "Samurai Shodown Collection" uses some quirks to replace the title screen and to add an english translation to the story mode. FBNeo use the raw romset and doesn't have any of those quirks.

I found out where the files are and how to import and export saves finally. Thanks again @mitu.

@retrus said in My first retropie construct:

@zering
I want play as many games i can. From atari to PS1.

You won't need a fan and heat sinks for that. Those are only necessary if you overclock your Pi, and the Pi 4 can play all 8 and 16 bit consoles as well as most PS1 and even Arcade games up to the early 2000s perfectly fine with with its stock clock speed of 1.5 Ghz (maxmum, as the Pi will dynamically change its speed based on demand, running normally only at 600-800 Mhz). In my experience, N64 is 50:50 with stock speed, whereby a good number of games may require overclocking.

That said, my Pi 4 can handle moderate overclocking to 2 GHz in its passively cooled aluminium case Argon Neo. The same company offers another case called Argon One that can be cooled passively as well as actively with a fan. Both got many positive reviews.

@mitu great!!! i change "retroarch-core-options.cfg" and now it work!!!! really thanks @mitu

Glad you got it fixed. You can try now to apply the overclock back, though I'd recommend you give it a try without it and see how the system performs. The Pi4 should be powerful enough for most systems.

@slim-shady There isn't a native emulator for it, but you can run it through lr-mess.

See this thread for details on how that core works, as it's a bit complicated to set up.

@samplesun im using retropie 4.5.1

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/content/105138-Kigen-v1-31b

Kigen v1.31b is released. Kigen is a RetroArch-based multi-emulator that allows emulating the Sega Master System, GameGear, Genesis, SegaCD, 32, Sega Saturn and now Arcade using various libretro cores and supports advanced shaders such as color-duplicator2.

so that's basically a retroarch equivalent. no, that kind of thing wouldn't/couldn't get added to retropie, but if cores within are libretro, maybe the core that runs the game you want could be, but you'd need to investigate what core is running and whether it is viable on ARM + GLES 3.1.

@spyhunter said in Running existing Retropie SD Card on Pi 400:

... BBC Micro, C64, Amiga - have downloaded FS-UAE and ZX Spectrum emulators. Do I need to change Repo it points to? will that work?

Not sure if any of the listed emulators have a repository with binary packages for Raspbian - you'll have to check their homepage/documentation. For Amiga emulation, Amiberry has binary releases which you can download and start directly.

booting to emulationstation is default behaviour for the official image, however here is how to configure it for a manual installation: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi

@dankcushions it’s about performance. On 2016 I can play eg. Die Hard Arcade with minimal slowdowns during QTE but overall game is pretty playable. With current mame it works in around 10 fps. Apart from that I have Mame2016 romset and don’t need to find another source for that.
