@mitu I will definitely look into this. Thanks!

@mitu Thanks Bro, fixed!

@Clyde Well ifconfig works just fine in Debian Stretch / Retropie 4.4

I just tested it in the linux terminal. It also seems that ip addr works as well.

So doesnt matter which one will be used. Either one will do just fine. :-)

Finally got around to test it and I can confirm it works!
Thanks

@Efriim yes that is where it goes. You change the line to:

emulationstation --no-splash #auto

@mitu thanks!

no problems at all i would do the same for mame2003 if you have updated the last few days mame2003/cfg dir will need cleared as well.

Hmm... Can anyone post a new list? There was an "google dokument" link with a list of working Dreamcast games in the start of the thread, but i cant open that dokument

Tried another cable anyways, no luck. This is a first for me.

My first instinct was to ask you to check if you're connected to the internet, but you said you updated so I figured out you don't have this problem.
Glad you figured it out.

I can strongly recommend the Crush Pinball series, especially Alien Crush and Devil's Crush (Devil Crash in Japan) for the PC Engine / Turbografx-16. They're often mentioned as maybe the best pinball console games ever made.

Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies are also worth a look. The Amiga versions may be the best because of the music, but the console versions are also quite good as far as I tested them.

I didn't notice any problems running any of them on my non-overclocked Pi 3b non-plus except for the Amiga versions, because I my Pi is only used for arcade and console emulation.

@mitu said in Retropie_Setup errors after failed update:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

Great tip: it worked !
Currently updating all installed cores.

Thank you so much !

@alexp You can avoid all this by flashing the ipac2 to gamepad enabled firmware 1.39 and setting the buttons as Gamepad buttons. Both sides work and it is 1000x easier. ES configures everything easily, no extra cfgs needed.

Use this guide, but use the ipac2 instead of the miniipac.

Thanks. Got it working with the first set of instructions.

I have also removed the links.

Also can anyone recommend what would be the best wired, USB or Bluetooth controllers to use buy, there are so many out there and do not want to buy one that does not work well.

I got this iNexxt SNES type gamepad. They are about 9€ a piece, less for a bundle of two. I had one ghost click so far (in about two weeks of use) but for the price it’s a very nice controller. Feels very much like an actual SNES controller. Both of them worked perfectly, were immedately recognised by Retropie and very easy to set up.

@azsorlex26 Each package exposes a standard set of commands to be executed - sources, build, install, remove, configure. Most packages have these options, there might be packages with special functions.
Look at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/packages.sh#L55 and https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/bfaedb92cb86335b7fec34d23fb39890455ae05f/scriptmodules/packages.sh#L162 to see how the retropie_packages.sh script works.

@jonnykesh I apologize. I was in a hurry and it kept telling me I needed someone else to

@grant2258 Thank you for the response! I certainly can use the standalone version, which I will probably end up doing. I want to eventually (possibly) replace my Raspberry Pi with a small laptop that runs RetroPie, since I have access to better hardware. So I was hoping to setup a system I can connect to the TV and use the interface entirely with the controller.

I'll just have to make due for now, and choose a solution that suits me best.

Retropie has an installation available of Kodi. It is available via the Retropie setup and is a full media center. If you prefer to run a separate install of Kodi on a seperate sd card, use LibreELEC.

@pjft Would it be possible to write a batch script or something that could be run once to simply and easily categorize large quantities of roms without duplication?

My idea is something that works like this. It 'feels' like it would be easy for someone who does these sorts of things, but I know nothing so I could be very wrong.

in '/roms/nes' you make the directory 'Top 50' (or subcategorize by genre, etc.)
You move your top 50 roms from '/roms/nes' to /roms/nes/Top 50'
You put the 'categorize_roms.bat' into '/roms/nes/Top 50' and run it

The .bat file would then take all the roms in the folder, move them back up to '/roms/nes' and replace them with symlinks to each rom in the subfolder.

Obviously replace .bat with whatever kind of script you prefer - I'm working with limited knowledge here.

Is this doable?
