Need a Working Retropie/Emulator List
-
Thanks!
I'm not planning on running it as a full blown desktop computer so the 2GB should suffice for me.

I saw a thread from last year saying that retropie isnt' yet playable on Raspberry Pi 4? Is this still the case? Couldn't find any updated thread on it. I see there are only 2 versions of retropie, one version for Raspberry Pi 0/1 a version for Raspberry Pi 2/3. None for 4 so assuming it hasn't been officially released yet?

@nightbirdmedia There are weekly dev builds for download. https://files.retropie.org.uk/images/weekly/
Currently unsupported but overall everything is working pretty good. If you are just doing basic setup I dont suspect youll run into too many issues.

I have just come across several games already that are listed as working, only to see them start lagging and stuttering in the second or third level. It's logical stuff like that doesn't show up in initial testing, but it did prompt me to use some extra caution.
HI I'm the author of the spreadsheet and of the related tool.
There's a dedicated subject here : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23904/tool-bestarcade?_=1586248284657
Yeah, I think you know it but I can't possibly test every game more than a few tens of seconds into the first level, even just that took me hundred of hours to test the current reduced romset.
Everyone is welcome to make comments and I will fix them as soon as possible though...@barbudreadmon said in Need a Working Retropie/Emulator List:
While the FBNeo spreadsheet is bit outdated (the sega system 24 & sonicbom issues were fixed last year) and there are some errors too (reporting missing controls while the controls are just weird), for the most part this one is a lot more accurate than the one in the retropie documentation.
Well the issue is that I don't test latest fbneo version but the latest one embedded in the current distribution I'm using, so wether it's Recalbox, Batocera or Retropie, it might not even be the same version...
On a side note this is exactly why I think fbneo new version numbering is a very bad idea, my 2.44 is not Retropie's 2.44, is not fbneo latest 2.44, and basically there is no way to know which one I'm using and if it is really uptodate without rescanning everything with clrmamepro
So there might be some discrepancies, especially towards Retropie, which I assume is much more regularly updated than the other distributions.
I also don't retest working games when a new version is released, only new games or previously broken games, so games which used to run perfectly in the past but aren't anymore due to performance badderments will still be wrongly tagged working (hello CPS3)

Also, lots of the games reported as being laggy are totally fine after reading those instructions.
Will try to test all that and add precise infos when I have the time.
And when i'll switch back on retrogaming because I had the stupidest idea to build myself a pincab and this monstruous thing has been taking all my free time for the past two months -
Hmm. For some reason I can't get games to load using mupen64plus-gliden64. Am I missing something?
-
@nightbirdmedia are your N64 roms zipped? if so they need to be unzipped. Are you using the official retropie image?
-
@quicksilver ah yes they are zipped. And yes I'm using the official image.
-
@nightbirdmedia Post an emulator log on pastebin.com (take the contents of `/dev/shm/runcommand.log).
-
@quicksilver I unzipped them and the mupen64plus-gliden64 works. But the downside is that you can't bring up the Retroarch menu with it, or restart a game, and see the save and load states at the bottom of my screen. Not a huge deal.
Also no one every touches on this but when you save a game it is Rom and Emulator based. If you save a game using the lr-mupen64plus-next emulator and play the game again using the mupen64plus-gliden64 emulator, you can't load up the saved state. I tested this out and saved a game with 2 emulators and they both saved and loaded but only 1 of the states actually showed up in my retropie folder with the games. I thought that was strange.
-
@nightbirdmedia mupen64plus-gliden64 isn't a libretro emulator so you can't use the retroarch menu. The save states are not compatible but there are conversion tools out there if you have existing save files. The default save file location for standalone mupen64plus is a little weird but you can change it by editing your mupen64plus.cfg and pointing it to save to the rom folder.
