A lot of this functionality is built in eg. on your ubuntu machine sudo ./retropie_packages.sh crosscomp setup stretch then on the rpi3 just install distcc, configure it to use Ubuntu machine. for building: PATH="/usr/lib/distcc:$PATH" MAKEFLAGS="-j4 PATH=/usr/lib/distcc:$PATH" ./retropie_packages.sh etc note settings the PATH for makeflags is needed for some modules to use distcc. retropie also includes the facility to build raspberry pi binaries on an x86 Ubuntu machine using an emulated chroot and the distcc on the host. see the "builder" module.

@mitu Thanks for your reply. I finally figured it out the problem was PEBKAC!!! I had the joystick plugged into the wrong 5 pin port. I thought there was only the one and I was wrong. Totally my bad but thanks for the help. I'm going to leave this up since I could not find any solutions to this problem anywhere and it might help someone.

I'd love to be able to use the attractmode with OSMC, but I think it isn't possible I use OSMC for KODI and installed RetroPie via RetroSMC, which now works perfectly with Debian Stretch now that RetroPie has been worked on for Stretch I've even tried custom scripts I found that add the attract options to emulationstation so you can switch between the different modes via the emulationstation menu but that doesn't work either as the modes don't appear on the emulationstation menu. At least not with OSMC as no menu options appear and I've never seen the 'Configure Splashscreen' option either with OSMC

@mitu thank you!! Solved my issues!

@Impman66 how you set up your speedlink controller? I have SL-6566-BK xeox pro analog gamepad-wireless-black, retropie detected it but when i press&hold A to set up nothing happened.. please help

Solved. Had to access emulator settings for the one second the game was booting and disable "Fast Memory (Unstable)". Boots fine now.

@psw757 If you want to bypass the desktop, you can install the standalone version of Chromium from the RetroPie Extra Repository. Once it's installed, you can edit the chromium.sh script so that the last line reads: /usr/bin/chromium-browser iscored.info

Hi Clyde, Thanks for the reply. I've decided to test a few things out and see if I can get it going on my own. If I do, I'll post how I did it here. If not, I'll post the specific info you asked for above. Thanks again.

@rion Perfect! Now it works. Thank you. I recently faced crashes on Driver by select "Try Mission Again" after I fail a mission. Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks for that elaborate answer. I need to step through this now.

Ok so I hooked the pi up to a wired connection this morning. I continued my testing with Fable and was able to play this morning for about an hour with no problems even with Netflix going in another room. Later tonight I'm going to change the moonlight launcher script I wrote to see how it runs at a full 60fps rather than the 30fps I started testing at. Over all I'm very impressed with it.

Yup confirmed, it was rumble. After turning off rumble in game's option no more issue.

I have sorted it, anyone else with the same problem needs to do the following: sudo nano /boot/config.txt And scroll down to the bottom. If you see a line that says: dtparam=audio=on Disable it by putting a # in front. Then add: dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus on the next line. Save the file. Next create /etc/asound.conf with the following content: pcm.!default { type hw card 0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 } Then go to: /home/pi/.reicast/emulators.cfg and change it to this: reicast-audio-alsa = "CON:/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh alsa %ROM%" default = "reicast-audio-alsa" reicast-audio-oss = "CON:/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh oss %ROM%" Save and reboot and enjoy! Also has anyone managed to get reicast to change to 16:9 aspect ratios? maybe i'll start a new topic for this.

Why didn't you install RetroPie on the PiDrive? All you need to do is install BerryBoot on the SD card, add the retropie image to the USB drive and install it via BerryBoot.

@edmaul69 I was actually not even born when the SNES came out, so I never had one before. I was also very surprised to see there were 2 versions. I do love the old retro gaming machines a lot more then the new ones!

@dedbob indeed. Glad you got it sorted in the end. Now only if the mp3 compression worked... Would sure make my Sega CD library smaller.

@denisuu That's on an RPi 2 and I'm assuming that going to an RPi 3 would be an increase, but not a ton of difference. I've been curious about AOE vanilla though. Thoughts on resources running it on Raspbian vs Retropie?

@Markos You could install lakka https://www.google.co.uk/amp/lifehacker.com/how-to-turn-your-pc-or-other-device-into-a-retro-arca-1703576831/amp?client=ms-android-samsung or RetroArch http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.3.0/
