How did you get the glow effect to look right? I could not get it to outline each individual letter.

hi duckclimber, first of all thanks for your guide! really well done!
now, a month ago i’ve builded my own bartop (my setup is the same of yours except for pi model, i’ve a raspberry pi 1 model b), the kernel worked nice and solved the axis problem… But yesterday somthing strange happened. retropie didnt see anymore the xin mo dual… the emulstation asked me to configure button (like it was first start) and there was written “no gamepad detected”. i thought it was a usb cable problem (maybe not right connected) but i was wrong, then i tried with jstest /dev/input/ but there wasn’t any js0 or js1… so i pulled the xin mo usb on my notebook (windows) to see if it was an hardware problem but there it worked good. i also tried to format and re-install retropie v3.3.1 but the xin mo still not shown (lsusb). can you help me? i’m a newbie and don’t know what else i can do.
thank you!
ps. hope i was clear, my english is not so good!

And tonight marked my defeat in getting kodi with plexbmc working properly in 3.5. It’s really unstable so it’s quite useless to me. I’m really looking forward to a rasplex dualsetup now.

The rasplex/retropie link on the first page is gone..can you upload whatever you have ready? Thanks
Edit: nevermind, found one from your youtube channel. Thanks:)

In the retropie-setup script it’s under install individual emulators. I think it’s the 3rd option. Choose the emulator you’re having trouble with, then install from binary.

Hi can you explain if you install the 3.5 jessie image how do you launch kodi from ES ?

Thanks

[quote=115039]I’m just curious, what’s the advantage of using a dual boot setup for this, vs using the retropie Jessie image and installing Kodi to launch from ES?

This was just what I was looking for. It’s been less than a week since I first read about RPi, up until then I didn’t know what it was, but was sure it wasn’t for me. I was dead set on getting a NUC, but was put of by the price, when all I want is an emulator/movieplayer. This solution is PERFECT for me, as I liked the feeling of Kodi right away (I installed it first on a spare 2GB microSD while waiting for 16GB I’d ordered). Anyway, I registered just to say thank you for this build. It was really simple to install by following the included readme instructions, even for a total Linux/code/”anything more advanced than installing a game in Win7″ virgin like myself. So THANK YOU!

I do have a couple of questions though:
1) How do I add GBA BIOS (preferably with USB)? GBA roms wont run and I found forums saying it’s due to missing BIOS. Well, I’ve got the BIOS, but have no idea how to implement them, and I don’t want to fiddle with something I know nothing about.
2) I setup my controllers (Dual PS2-style controllers using shared USB). To me it made sense to have “X” button as A, to select, but once in games (SNES only so far) it’s completely wrong. So I’m just wondering how do I reconfigure the controller?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with these, seemingly, miniscule issues.

Edit: I managed to solve the first problem, but still need help with reconfiguring controllers.

Good to see this is still in development. If I can’t figure out why kodi won’t let me back into ES in 3.5, I’ll be willing to wait for a rasplex dualboot solution.

Thanks for this amazing build! It was easy to load and I was playing game in no time!

One small problem for me (and it is due to my ignorance).. I have been unable to SSH into this build but I was able to SSH into the standard RetroPie. I used the “Show IP Address” in the settings menu (which is slick) and typed sudo ifconfig on the command line but neither option produces an IP address. What am I missing?

Thanks again for the great work!

Not sure what exactly you are trying to get but for me the ip address is always the same on all parts of the build, retropie/kodi etc so I just see what the ip address is in kodi and same IP address works for the other sections as well. Also to access the settings for each section you have to be log on to it because its separate eg. to get access to kodi you have to be log on to kodi etc.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply.

I tried everything I could find on every forum. Nothing seemed to work.

I ended up re-loading the dual boot on the microSD card again and everything worked perfectly on the first attempt (SSH and WINSCP). Guess it was just one of those things.

I’m in the exact same boat. I have a bartop machine running with the Xin-Mo dual arcade controls and I want to be able to plug in two wired Gravis Gamepads to play Sega, NES, SNES games, etc. Very interested to see if anyone has a solution for this.

Hi man. Great work!! The P2 controlls works fine after this hack, before it didn’t recognize the p2 stick at all.
Now i have another issue… The P1 stick controlls both player 1 and 2…
Anyone else have this problem?

You can install things individually too, but typically youll just want to use binary installs instead of source based installs. A full binary install will get you the latest changes for everything though.

The only way you can remove systems right now is manually from the /opt folder. I agree that its waste of space but most of the users of retropie like the idea of a premade system thats just ready to go with everything they need.

We’re looking into making a more modular menu that will make it easier to remove the things you don’t want.

Langsam langsam ;)

What PSU do you have on your RPI ?

Have you tried using the stick in keyboard mode without xarcade2jstick ?

eg

https://github.com/scottnath/retropie-with-dual-x-arcades

you can use the default layout though and adjust the retroarch.cfg accordingly for player2/player2

Hello,

I don’t know if this can be useful here:

I own a X-Arcade Dual Joystick with a serial-to-USB adapter (yeah, more than 10 years of service)
When I use it without Xarcade2Jstick on RetroPie, it’s recogniced as a keyboard, when the service is up, it does nothing.
The system is Raspbian Jessie lite with Retropie from github after fresh install.

Kind regards

I’m planning a similar bartop arcade with a dual arcade joystick/button setup and I’d like to be able to plug USB controllers in and have them become player 1/2 as well. I’ve been worried about the problems you’re describing and look forward to hearing others’ solutions.

Hello all!! I try to config advmame1.4 and I have too questions to config them…
1-What command you use to config the exit keyconfig?? (“”MISC_SAFEQUIT = no”” but what command use in key config to use them?))
2-I try to config the controls using dualshock 3 gamepad anyone have the config for this?? Can upload to .txt or pastebin??
3-When I try to config the dualshock 3 gamepad using the emulator menu (using TAB key of the keyboard, and changed the device_joystick auto to device_joystick raw in the config of .rc file) the game only take the config in the option “for this game” what I need do to change general config for all games and apply them???
Thanks for all help forum!! and sorry for bad english :|

I just did mine and it looks AMAZING!!! So good to play in that green color!

Try again smartroad :D
