I am trying to make a portable retropie game modified the adafruit retrogame program for my needs. It works great if a keyboard is plugged in but if I unplug the USB keyboard then it completely ignores the inputs. Anyway to make this work without a keyboard or fake that a keyboard is plugged in? Thi...

The rumors I heard is that it should be able to emulate the xbox one and PS4 too

Thought I would share a picture of the progress I made last night. Finished adding buttons to the front of the shell. The goal for this weekend is to get the front finished and painted, then wire up all the buttons and screen. The D-Pad on the bottom right is more for C style buttons on N64 than dir...

Thought I would share a recent project I started working on. I had a broken game gear lying around and realized it would be perfect for a handheld raspberry pi. So far I have started gutting the console and filling in the holes with plastic filler. I have a 4.3" car LCD that will be going in it...

Great, thanks!

Building a hanheld raspberry pi and am wanting to be able to add as many buttons as possible via the GPIO pins. Can I use the P5 header pins to "pull" inputs from button presses? Is there anything special that needs to be done to read these pins?

Thanks!

Have raspberry pi setup running emulation station 1.9. Input is controller port pcb board from an old snes wired to the gpio header, snesdev on the software side. The gpsp controller defaults to the 2nd snes controller and ignores the 1st one. All other emulators use the correct controller . I tried...

There should be a gamelist.xml (or similar titled file) in the directory where the roms for that specific system are. You can delete the whole file or edit specific game info with the correct information.

I did a similar set up as OP. Used the original power button and original reset buttons as well. (Reset takes you back to the Menu.) OP's is a little cleaner than mine but I wanted every Pi port accessible on the rear of the SNES. Here are my pics: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_6WIjJyGmKo/UrdDtBuTejI/A...

Cool, I loved wing commander as a kid on my old Pent 1 laptop. Might have to give this a try.

Rescraping with smaller images solved the problem. Menu is working smooth now.

Add this to the retroarch.cfg, it sounds like the sram save files are only written when the emulator is exited back to the menu. So if you power off the system or the game crashes you could lose your data. With this file it will write to the sram data file every 5 seconds. You can change the interva...

You can do save and load states if you add these to your retroarch.cfg file. input_enable_hotkey = 6 input_save_state = 4 input_enable_hotkey = 6 input_load_state = 5 Change the numbers to what ever buttons you want. In my case I hold the start button and press L to save or R to load the state. Howe...

Ok, even if I don't scrape the images it is still nice to know. Hard to navigate a 700+ rom directory on one screen haha.

brooksyx

Aloshi Hmm, I will try re-scrapping tonight just for heck of it with: python /home/pi/ES-scrapper -w 400 My game library is only about 1 GB not 500 GB like the guy on reddit. Will post back with my results. But there is almost 800 roms in that directory. Edit: I noticed you mentioned to split the ro...

Any tips for when scrapping images and details for a large romset? I have the entire SNES NTSC game library on my retro pie and navigation the rom selection screen is very slow and laggy.

Is there a way to avoid this? Maybe re-size all of the images to a smaller size?

I edited /RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

To say:

video_aspect_ratio_auto = True
video_aspect_ratio = 1.25

and that seemed to do the trick. The auto = true may be redundant but its working so I figure if it isn't broke then don't fix it.

Thanks again!

brooksyx

Thanks, ill give it a try tonight.

brooksyx

I feel like this should be pretty obvious but how to do I change the theme and scrape for rom iformation?

Searching hasn't brought much luck.

brooksyx

I am talking about the emulator being show in 4:3 with black bars on the side. I want it to take up the whole screen.

Thanks for this tips. I will play around with it.

Is there a way to make all emulators scale to the full size of the screen? I dont care if it is done at global level or emulator level.

brooksyx

If you're talking about the "fake system" RetroPie adds, you can just remove the relevant entry in the ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file. Yes, I believe so. I get to it if I press left or right when in emulationstation. I am trying to make it so the SNES rom list is the only screen ...

Does anyone know how to hide/disable the input configuration screen in emulation station. I got my controls all setup and working so I don't need this screen anymore.

brooksyx

So I have been setting up a raspiberry pi in a snes case and have had a little trial and error but finally getting things working good. However I can't figure out how to fill the entire screen widescreen LCD. I've searched for both changing the es_systems.cfg and retroarch.cfg without any luck. Any ...
