      @cebix That's not a huge pain. Just saw a guy on

      using it on a RetroPie setup and it was working. He just had to set it to "PS3" controller.

      @9acca9
      It could be that sixad isn't running. You could try this quickly to see if it fixes the problem.

      From the wiki entry:
      For bluetooth pairing to persist between reboots you need to make sure sixad is executed during startup. Exit EmulationStation and and edit rc.local.

      shell
      sudo nano /etc/rc.local
      Add sixad --start & before the line exit 0 and save (ctrl-x then y)

      @Haemogoblin said in RetroPie is v4.1 RPI2b advice:

      I'm just looking in to how to direct Retropie to use one single rom directory for both emulators.

      The /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/ directory was made for this use case. And then you have to define what arcade emulator to use when launching a game in runcommand menu (you just need to set this once).

      edit: this post seems to have some useful info for you: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5674/solved-rom-version-numbers-to-match-emulators

      @dankcushions Was rather lookin' for some "solved" button? Really, this forum engine is far too confusing for old people. "Terminated" problem? You know what I mean? Does it even makes sense, hahaha? I liked the old forums' engines.

      @BrockBoyts said in Active vs Passive Cooling:

      @dankcushions

      I was hoping that overclocking would fix any subtle lag issues. This has mostly been noticeable in games that require accuracy.

      well, overclocking can potentially improve framerates on CPU-bound games, but 'lag' can mean many things. if you mean input lag, well that can potentially just be a problem with the emulator or emulated hardware, or your controller, or your tv, etc. overclocking won't help here.

      Examples:

      Galaga on Lr-Mame2003 without shaders and overlays plays super smooth. If I turn on the overlay and shaders (CRT effect) there is a subtle lag.

      this sounds like GPU being your bottleneck, or possibly RAM being the bottleneck. you'd need to experiment with overclocking both to resolve this (or perhaps use lr-fba-next and see if that does better with this game)

      Metal Slug 1 on Lr-Mame2003 when two people are playing and there are a bunch of sprites are on the screen there is noticeable lag.

      this is probably just what the original hardware would do. there are other solutions - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2305/metal-slug-slowdowns-rpi3

      Mega Man Zero games on GBA have a lag too and those games need accurate response times to play.

      no experience with this.

      I am only considering a cooling solution because the inside of the cabinet gets pretty warm and may contribute to the pi overheating if I overclock. If I do not overclock the Pi I have no concern for the heat.

      the pi is pretty good at protecting itself from heat and will let you know when it's temperature throttling via on-screen symbols. IMO if you still want to overclock, just do it and then work out if cooling is required from how it reacts.
