ouguitarman Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I put together this setup guide if you have interest in a cheap low powered console type machine. http://gameroomsolutions.com/raspberry-pi-light-weight-retro-gaming-console/
Zinger19 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Nice tut. You should also include removing pi logo,hiding boot up text,motd,and last login. All of these will make it seemless. NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
marxkemp Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I would love it if there was a guide for xbian + emustation..
HazzardActual Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I am literally in the process of setting mine up thanks to Zinger. I have a lot of extracting to do
Zinger19 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 It has fade NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
HazzardActual Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 i must not have it set properly then, everytime i boot a game it goes to command for a second, then the game. I am not bitching by any means, this is super fun. I did just learn that you can used zipped games also, saves me a lot of time.
Zinger19 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I had the command line hidden until today. I was messing around with some settings to get the last login to disappear and in the process i brought the emulator command line text back. Ill see if i can undo what i did. It all started when I tried to do a hush login NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
dougan78 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Would be cool if you could use hyperlaunch with emulation station. Setting that up on a pi myself. Would enjoy access to my manuals. Pretty neat stuff anyway.
HazzardActual Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 hey how do you set inputs for each emulator? I have it detecting a wired 360 controller but its only accepting keys for the menu.
Zinger19 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Go to root /opt/retropie/configs NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
Zinger19 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 hey how do you set inputs for each emulator? I have it detecting a wired 360 controller but its only accepting keys for the menu. Go in to the configs folder in start x (check previous pm to find out how to get to the files ) and edit the retroarch files with leaf pad. The file in the all folder will use the same controls for every emulator, but you can manually edit each emulator and it will override the all settings. You can also enable video filters this way too. #Player 1 input_player1_joypad_index = 0 input_player1_b_btn = 6 input_player1_a_btn = 4 input_player1_y_btn = 7 input_player1_x_btn = 5 input_player1_l_btn = 10 input_player1_r_btn = 11 input_player1_start_btn = 13 input_player1_select_btn = 12 input_player1_up_btn = 0 input_player1_down_btn = 1 input_player1_left_btn = 2 input_player1_right_btn = 3 input_exit_emulator_btn = 15 input_menu_toggle_btn = 16 #Player 2 input_player2_joypad_index = 1 input_player2_b_btn = 6 input_player2_a_btn = 4 input_player2_y_btn = 7 input_player2_x_btn = 5 input_player2_l_btn = 10 input_player2_r_btn = 11 input_player2_start_btn = 13 input_player2_select_btn = 12 input_player2_up_btn = 0 input_player2_down_btn = 1 input_player2_left_btn = 2 input_player2_right_btn = 3 NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
dougan78 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I am waiting on another xbox wifi receiver to come in the mail. Got drivers installed cant get past press a button on controller screen yet.
Zinger19 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Check out here for wireless controller setup NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
dougan78 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Check out here for wireless controller setup Thanks. i have a friend who is non techie who set it up for himself. Figured for less than the 100 bucks if i can just map via samba to my cab for the roms why not give it a shot. Cant be too hard. Amazing how easy pi stuff is with all the community support.
Zinger19 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Haven't tried it but this should work. http://raspberrywebserver.com/serveradmin/share-your-raspberry-pis-files-and-folders-across-a-network.html NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
dougan78 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I needed to add mount lines in my rc.local for each system so my roms woukd work. Thanks for your help zinger19.
dougan78 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Is n64 worth messing with? Think i have all working but that. Need to setup second controller and adjust some controlls but pretty slick
Zinger19 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 You can get it to be playable but it won't be full speed. I purchased an ODROID-C1 board which is hardkernals $35 pi sized board. It's a 1.5ghz quad core with a gig of ram. That will run n64 and psp games. You can either use android or linux on it which is cool.

dougan78 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 That is what i thought. Will leave as is.. still like it for 80 bucks i got in it plays a fair amount of stuff.
kcorcoran Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I have one of these laying around. I guess I'm going to need to break it out after my current project. Thanks for posting.

I am good with my pi and will set one up for my office. Can get 64gb sd for 34 bucks. I have friends interested though in how the c1 does for n64 and ps1. How long setup takez would be helpful.
Zinger19 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Here is a video from the hardkernal youtube page running tekken 6 on ppsspp i believe. They also have more exspensive models as well that are faster and have more ram. I'll let you know how it goes. NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 This is what Im just about to setup I have just installed everything into a MegaDrive case and now its ready for the software Its instructions so that you have Emulationstation, XBMC and Steam all on your PI. http://www.blogdot.tv/2014/08/23/retropie-emulationstation-steam-xbmc-raspbian-os-fully-working-files-included/ You need a 600 series or better GPU Nvidia to make it work for the steam. It basically sets it all up on the PI and home streams your PC for all your PC games. I tested it and my god does it work. I have my games collection running through steam!!!! Its also in theory possible to run Hyperspin through your PI or in a tiny PC whilst keeping your real PC out of the way somewhere. Only thing I need to figure out is.... HOW TO GET RID OF THE PI BOOT SCREEN??? IS IT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE EMULATIONSTATION SCREEN? CONTROLS FOR THE ENTIRE THING WITH WIRELESS 360 PADS. In the end means my bedroom can run everything my front room can run for 50 quid..... PERFECT!!! Simply Austin's YouTube
Zinger19 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 You can disable boot text by editing the /boot/cmdline.txt. Remove console=tty1. Add logo.nologo to the end to remove pi logo. Add vt.global_cursor_default=0 to remove the blinking cursor. If the rainbow screen splash appears... Edit the boot config.txt to disable the rainbow splash /boot/config.txt and disable_splash=1 at the bottom This will boot the pi with a black screen until the retropie splash loads. You can't change/remove the emulationstation logo NES Arcade Build StarKade: A Raspberry Pi Arcade 80's Toy Collection
