...I think it was my fault...
I was thinking, that retropie shows me the usb files, when i plug in the stick...
But it look like, it shows alltime the files on the sd card ;-)
...so I have created a folder "retropie-mount" on the usb stick, let retropie copy all roms to it, and after that I deleted any files in "\retropie\roms"
Look like this solve my issue.

I think now I understand the differents between the directory "retropie" and "retropie-mount"
...if I want to import roms to the sd card, i put the files on the usb stick to "retropie" and if I like to use a external usb stick as storage for the roms, I use the "retropie-mount" directory on the usb stick...
Is this right?

@mitu
yes you are right ... I need to check all of that
thanks for your help

That's a great theme. I'd like to have it. I created my title screen because I never found any on the internet.

I remember the old PlayCable, My first girlfriend had it back in 1981... maybe why she was my first girlfriend... lol.

Also... my Retropie is built into an old Sears Intellivision. I hated to gut the thing, but it was for a great cause. I'm really happy with the results.

It's kinda fun being able to play 27 different game systems on one old modded one.

@retroprogrammer No problem. The switch issue on Raspberry Pi is a need for everyone, not just RetroPie users. So, you can google the idea and find all kinds of examples of people using a simple momentary switch to short a GPIO pin to ground with examples of their custom scripts to monitor for that event. In most cases, examples in include a shutdown command, and that would be enough to do a soft shutdown or reboot. However, it is this command that you could replace with something more retropie-specific found in the threads here.

@simonster @demesauce Okay thanks

@moltke44 What version of Win 10 are you using ? Pro/Home/Ent/Education ?

@pemy There is no "one size fits all" for keyboard users, but you could standardize by using MAME defaults. Those of us who use keyboard controllers like the Ultimarc IPAC usually have these wired to arcade controls. This situation is not the same has yours, as you are citing a computer emulator as opposed to arcade games, but the challenge is similar. What keys should be linked to what typical joypad/gamepad buttons? Ultimately, this is up to you. You can google MAME default keys.

@pandasan said in Official SD card not good ?:

But to be sure, a single partition FAT32 is enough right ?

Yes, it's enough.

@mitu said in How to port games to retropie:

the game needs to either compatible with Linux or supported by one of the Emulators/Ports included in Retropie

And the source code needs to be available and some sort of genius needs to Port it from Windows to Linux. Sonic mania: not a chance

I would recommend not buying anything from this company, they use our work on emulators for commercial use, which is forbidden by the license of those emulators. Also, their products are known for being pretty bad quality.

@haller Thanks for sharing your solution for others.

Hey all -

I opened an issue in GitHub when I narrowed down the issue further:

https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/349

Its quite ok, if you ask me. I use a three meters long HDMI cable and it does not bug me while playing :)
At first I wanted all ports at the top, but it didn't fit :(

@caver01 I'm working on it, now for some reason I can't click buttons in the menu of rgui :(

@timothyjbrick That's because ES uses SDL to talk to the joystick. See https://github.com/meleu/jstest-sdl for testing using the SDL library, it's similar to jstest, but through the SDL joystick mapping.

@danielmewhouse Thank you. But no, I'm not planning this. On the other hand: It's all OpenSource. Nothing hidden nor encrypted inside my installer. Take it as a template for your own ideas and feel free to realise whatever you want.

@aardvark Yeah that really depends on the number of games you have. So that is hard to nail down until you actually have everything scraped. Each video is a different size. For example an Atari 2600 games snap that is 30 seconds long will be much smaller than say a PSX games of 30 seconds. The videos that are scraped and converted for the pi are 30fps @ 320x240 4:3 aspect. Great for the pi and they are smaller size too! (the vidsnaps can be 640x480 @ 60fps 4:3 the pi can handle them..but the converted ones work much better!)

Honestly a one terabyte hard drive will get you most of everything the pi can handle. However a 128gb micro sd card is "perfect" and a 256gb should be more than enough..unless you want to run a LOT of psx games. (This does not include PC-ish games.) My system with games, videos and snaps fit on a 64gb card happily (and that includes daphne). Note though that i pulled out alot of arcade games (clones/mature/mahjong).

@brurpo said in Done cabinet, researching for light gun support:

Since I am using a 29" crt TV, it's technically possible to use a light gun, but as far as I can tell there is no solution available for a real light gun, only wii motes and similar. Is that the case?

Anything is possible with the magic of programming. But yeah a real crt based light gun implementation doesn't exist for any emulator I'm aware of but I could be wrong.

@jocaedu Are you sure your controller/usb cable are OK ? 1 gamepad detected implies the keyboard is detected, but not the controller.
As for the image, I don't think there is such a thing as Windows User-Friendly drivers on the Linux, but over USB the controller should be detected ok. Please give more details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - especially about your controller model and version.
