The answer to your question is 'No', there's no build for N2 coming soon. As far as I know there's just a pull request opened for adding support, but it seems incomplete.

@h4ckerv2 I tested some things at the same time but I thing all the things together solved the issue:
-Change the psx bios to another of another website
-Disable the screensaver in all places (rpi and retropie), in rpi you will need to install first a screensaver and disable it after.

This tutorial worked for me : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch

On the Big List Of Things I Don't Want To Do, typing stuff like this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get -y autoclean

...is really, really high up.

(I mean, I don't even know WHERE I'm supposed to type that. I manage my Pi through the WinSCP interface and no command typing is ever required.)

You have to use PuTTY to type the commands.
Launch PuTTY, enter the raspberry ip and connect.
User: pi
Password: raspberry
From there you connect to the raspberry in ssh and can type the commands.
It takes a little time to update jessie at strech.

There really are a lot of changes that make for a good install of retropie for Gpi. From boot/config.txt changes, to dtbo device tree overlay files (and renaming them to prevent an over-write), to quieting the boot text, to using a custom kernel with a boot logo, to a good splash screen video, to a good theme, to picking the right default emulators, to working around controller input issues with xboxdrv, to configuring proper es_system settings, to many other tweaks and changes. While it may never end up being an official "version" of retropie for Gpi, it really does become difficult to manage every single tweak and change that makes it better for Gpi. The guides might be the best bet for now, and maybe some day scripts can be created from the guides info that can just be run to make all the changes.

@Hanky42 said in Retropie and Libreelec:

Wouldn't KODI want media added to it's library?

yes?

you add files to the library over network without moving the actual files or you can just play them directly from the source.

personally i use mysql (alltho a bit slow) to avoid having to recreate the library and remember which movies i watched on all devices using kodi in my home.

if you want something easier, you can look up plex media center, but i belive a "dedicated" server is required for that, i am unsure if it will run both a player and a server on one raspberry.

@Clyde Thanks Clyde I'll have a look. Cheers for the heads up.

Hello, had a quick question, what is the best way to execute an OS command with this emulator? I have the following but it falls short of executing:

OS.execute("bash", ["~/RetroPie/scripts/killgodot.sh"], true, output)

the script contents are:

ps -ef | awk '/godot-engine/ {print $2}' | xargs kill

it simple looks for the emulator in the process list and kills it, so I can switch games with it being a custom launcher.
Figuring this out would also help in launching games :)

Thank you,

@evansauve I would check out @ExarKunIv awesome archive of extra games for retropie. He has a script already setup to install this game without having to do everything manually.

https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

Follow the instructions on there and then you should be able to install openrct2 right through the retropie menu

Glad to hear that!

@mitu, I've also provided a special build (the Mitu Build) with the feature you requested.

Thank you, but you shouldn't have - it was merely a suggestion. It's less likely I'd use it, since I don't have a windows machine at home - where my Pi is sitting. Thanks anyway !

No problem. May be good though for anyone who reads this(, has Windows) and likes the idea as well.

Yeah. I guess you're right.

@IanDaemon Thanks, Ian. This doesn't work on a CRT monitor (at least not with Pi2Scart). More here:

Go to launchbox or game faq and see if the game has an alternate title. I know I had issues and it couldn't find Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3 until I put the full title as the name. Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Twisted Metal III won't scrape, but Twisted Metal 3 will... it doesn't take much to throw off the scraper.

Simple comment. I had the same issue but my lowerBound had to be fix to value 490. It's important to check the value when your stick go back in place. My left stick showed a value of 491 when It came back from left to center. Now, Everything's working fine

I suggest to use joy.cpl to find It.

@rbaker, Thanks for the answer, I apologize for the illegal content.
Could you tell me where the documentation says anything about quality enhancing filters?

Thank you, I think I found

@grant2258 I have followed this video, but I can't get it to work properly. Maybe it is a version issue (I use a CH-616). When I connect the COIN and COUNTER to the encoder, the voltage is always running. It seems like the contact of the coin module is not potential free. So when I try to use it in retropie, it constanly thinks I am throwing coins in it. Did anyone get this running properly?

@stoney66

From first command:

pi@retropie:~ $ ls -l "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/Chrono Trigger .smc" -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 4194816 May 19 1997 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/Chrono Trigger .smc

And after typping second one I see that the file is there:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 4194816 May 19 1997 Chrono Trigger .smc

Half of the games stopped working after I've installed the newer (4.5.1) version of RetroPie. On previous one (4.4) everything worked fine (even with space between name and file extension). I bought another Chrono Trigger rom and it's working.
