Pi in a Super Famicom Build

[obsidianspider]

Well that was less than fun. Lesson learned, kids. If you have a heavily customized install, make sure you create an image of your SD card in case you blow it up like I did.

Also, take better notes. ;)

Things are working now, but it was a lot of head scratching to get all of my scripts in the right places.

@obsidianspider I updated to the latest stretch build and that didn't go well. The gamecon driver wouldn't build. I reverted to stable stretch and fixed some dependencies to get ES to compile. I made a backup just in case, but it looks like I won't need to use it.

@darksavior I haven't tried Stretch. I heard it wasn't supported yet.

@obsidianspider Try at your own risk, but once I sorted my dependencies, ES and the emulators I use work fine https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch

@obsidianspider it's probably in the thread here somewhere but I can't seem to find it: have you linked the original power switch to a system shutdown, and if so, how?

Now that I have a Pi, I'm thinking about either murdering my old SNES or finding one to murder, and using it as a case for the Pi. If/When I do so, I may look closer to threads like these for inspiration.

@billyh Please don't break a known working SNES just for a Pi project. There are millions of ones that are inoperable.

I used a Mausberry tied to the stock SNES power switch.
