[quote=113671]No, i played with it and it can’t be done, the only way it can be, is to have a pi running as a “grabber” using a hdmi splitter and a usb video grabber and it will work for “any hdmi source” then I have my XboxOne/Virgin/RetroPie all running though it via a hdmi hub…

What? You 100% can run Hyperion on RetroPie. I have it running just fine. Works great with Retro games and streaming games from PC to moonlight on the Pi.

My apologies! I figured attaching files wouldn’t be legal but asking for a link would be ok. YOu can delete this thread. I am sorry, it wont happen again.

I understand that and thank you. But how can i use the remote control via RasPi and not paired to PC? Please read what I am asking.

[dixeflatline]

In this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3musDxzlhCM , the guy is streaming emulators to his device. He is playing on one screen but his controller is paired to the PC and not to where he is streaming too. Is it possible to stream to device (retropie) and have my paired remote to the Pi to control the emu streaming from steam? Otherwise you would have to be within range of bluetooth to be paired to your PC to play the other PC based emulators.

Thanks

Thank you. Turns out it was a dumb user error. I wasnt dropping the scripts in the right folder. I thought I changed it to <path>~/RetroPie/roms/apps</path> but it was still reading <path>~/RetroPie/roms/ports</path> in the es_systems.cfg. Thank you!

Damn dude, that is quite the tutorial. I wasnt planning on setting up XBox 360 controllers. Were you using wired or wireless controllers? The Steam games I primary want to play would be keyboard and mouse or 2 ps3 controllers for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 5 when it comes out. I like that you have dolphin implemented in there. Ideally, I would like to get some of the heavier emulators working like that. Ill take more time to check out that how-to you wrote tonight after work

Thanks Adcooney!

I got it working. Not sure what exactly fixed it but I uninstalled Geforce Experience, cleaned the registry, scanned for malware, reinstalled Geforce Experience as admin. I repaired PC to Pie then played with commands, this is working:
moonlight stream 192.168.0.40 -1080 -30fps -app Steam

I havent messed with the controls yet but i got the games to play back. we can close this thread now.

Thanks,

@labelwhore LMAO… nobody has ever figured it out or knew the meaning of my name. My friend actually started calling me dixeflatline early 2000’s and it has stuck ever since. Thanks man!

I was told that LimeLight was outdated and to use Moonlight. Moonlight had the same issue. When I hover over the game and click A to launch it, it doesnt launch nor does it crash. The same thing happens with every game in my library.
Command I am using for LimeLight
java -jar limelight.jar stream -1080 -30fps PCIPaddress -app Steam /etc/dev/event0 mapfile.map
and tried
java -jar limelight.jar stream -1080 -30fps PCIPaddress -app Steam

same commands with MoonLight too. I also have changed the 1080 to 720 at 60fps. My PC and RasPi are hardwired on the network.

Thank You!

Yeah, I have the Nvidia 750ti ftw. I have the PC setup and the Pi can see it, they do connect. I can control all the screen just fine from the Pi. Its just when I try and launch a game it doesnt do anything, it thinks for a second but never boots on PI or PC. I was hoping i could find the debug logs to see exactly whats going on or if anyone has had the same issue and got has gotten resolved.

Thank You!

[dixeflatline]

Does it look like its trying to boot then crashes to console? Do you have a debug log?

[dixeflatline]

I think I have this resolved. I formatted the SDcard and re-imaged RetroPie 3 b4. I ran through all the normal configurations and then set up controllers. They are now mapped correctly.

Though my 2nd question is still present. If I have a sega 6 button like controller + 2 bumbers, do I need to manually configure the 2 not listed if the controller script?

Thanks,

Really? I bought a power 2A 5V power supply for this. Maybe its on its last leg? Thank you for the heads up!

Cheers,
DFL

EDIT:
You were 100% right. I forgot to plug in the power. It was only running off the 5v charge from the ambilights. Thanks again!

Hey luvien99,

Did you get it working? I didnt run into any real problems like you stated above. I did have to install lsb-core and that seemed to fix any of my issues. What i did was:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libqt4-network libusb-1.0-0 ca-certificates

Enable spi via retropie advanced settings or sudo nano /boot/config.txt and add dtparam=spi=on to the bottom of the file and reboot

wget -N https://raw.github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/master/bin/install_hyperion.sh

chmod +x install_hyperion.sh
sudo ./install_hyperion.sh

TEST:
hyperion-remote –priority 50 –color red –duration 5000

dont forget to put your hyperion.config.json file in /etc/ and change the file effects path to the effects folder wherever that installs for you mine was /opt/hyperion/effects which I didnt have to change so i doubt you would

I still have some tweaking to do but this is what mine is looking like right now:

Hope that made sense or helps,

Thank you for the information. I will give it a go then. Appreciate the assistance.

I was actually going to try getting Hyperion installed/working once i get some other things squared away. If im not mistaken, RetroPie is built on Raspbian. I would try following that wiki first. First thing i would try from an SSH session is “netstat -tnl” to see what ports listening. If you dont see the default open then that would be a place to start. Change the default port in the hyperion config file. I think the default port is 19444 or 19445. You can also alter your iptables to open the port. I think the command to do so is:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –dport 19444 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –dport 19445 -j ACCEPT

Goodluck and I hope its as easy as opening the ports because in the next few days ill be giving it a go too.

Cheers,
dfl
