This is a great project! I’ve got most everything working. I have seen some slight irregularities with some games. It seems that on some side scroller games, the game will automatically move to the right without me touching the controller.

I’m using the Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad for PC. http://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Classic-USB-Gamepad-PC/dp/B002B9XB0E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424808309&sr=8-1&keywords=buffalo+snes+controller

Other games work fine. I only configured the controller for emulation station when I first setup my retropie. The RetroArch controllers were automatically recognized and worked with configuration. I saw the above issue, so I tried manually configuring the controllers too. Either way, I’m seeing the same issue.

Anybody seen this before? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and move forward?

Thanks!

I’m loading my ROMs in to my new setup. However, where do I put Sega Genesis ROMs? I have gone the route of putting in a USB stick to my Pi to create the folder directory and am now loading ROMs onto the USB drive, but there’s no folder that looks like it would fit for Sega Genesis . . . ?

I see the following possible folders:
sega32x
segacd

Help?

I’m using the RetroLink N64 USB, RetroPie 2.6, and RPi2. Loading N64 games through RetroArch renders the joypad usesless, I can only control the game with the keyboard. I’ve tested the joypad and it works loading the game through MupenPlus. RetroArch successfully takes the input when playing SNES or GBA games, so this seems strange. Any thoughts? Anyone run into this?

In this tutorial I will show you my complete setup on my Pis these can be adjusted for either Pi 1 or Pi 2 only differences will be the minor adjustment of the overclock settings if you so choose to do so. This tutorial is recommended to be used with a PlayStation 3 controller whether wireless or wired but will assume you want it wireless using a usb bluetooth adapter. This tutorial assumes you know how to either login to your Pi via putty or through the Pi directly.

The scripts provided will setup your Pi to run the following emulators.

Genesis
Game Gear
GameBoy
GameBoy Advance
GameBoy Color
Sega32x
SegaCD
PlayStation
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64

Everything will and can be completed in 4 quick steps. From start to finish I was able to complete in less then 20mins only using 4 scripts and using a gui 3 times. I will break the codes down for the post but will provide quick and easy copy and paste scripts. You will need to provide your own roms and manually upload them but everything else is streamlined.

Preffered Hardware:

Raspberry Pi2
8gb MicroSD card
USB Bluetooth Dongle

I was wondering if it is possible to run retro pi through an SD card but keep my roms on a USB flash drive. I’m not sure if it is possible but I would assume it would just mean redirecting the areas that it looks for roms? This way I would not have to re upload roms every time I format and such. I trial and error alot

The odroid-w fit perfectly in a nintendo mini classic. Used a 2 port usb hub and a penny for a heatsink lol

For some reason, whenever I turn on my Raspberry Pi, it’s not recognizing my games on my flash drive I need to add. I tested to make sure the drive was functional, and yes, I could navigate through it on the console. Please give me some troubleshooting tips, as sometimes the ROMs will update and appear and sometimes they won’t.

I wanted to see if any Mausberry Switch users have had any problems with the latest versions of the RetroPie card images. Specifically when used on an RPi B+.

I have the use your own switch shutdown circuit and am using this Python GPIO monitoring daemon to handle the shutdown request from the shutdown circuit.

This setup was working well in the 2.1 images and below. However, I recently installed the 2.5 image and found that it no longer worked. The same issue is occurring with the 2.6 (I performed a clean install from scratch to rule out any setup mistakes on my part).

I’ve also run some tests to make sure that this isn’t being caused by a hardware issue. I took a clean (non-RetroPie) card image I have and installed the switch daemon there. It worked fine.

I’m not really sure how to go about trouble shooting this on the software side. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
