Try to change the power supply. Is there a rainbow square on top-right corner of screen?

[gutossn]

Use Mame4all to play the roms!

[gutossn]

You won’t run PSX games at full speed using the Raspberry Pi 1. Just 2D games works fine like Klonoa, Castlevania, etc…

[gutossn]

If you want I can send the rom pack with 746 working roms for Mame4all.

[gutossn]

Great! Good idea.

[gutossn]

Check the file es_systems.cfg.
It has the informations about the emulators (commandline) and the folder to place Roms.

Or check this link:

You’ll need some M1 Decrypted files to have sound in games! Check the MAME Compatibility Spreadsheets! I’ve helped the PiFBA list, testing more than 100 games and writing what the games need to run fine!

[gutossn]

What’s version of Retropie you are using? I’m use 2.6 and the Mupen64Plus works great! Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Star Fox running fine! Both ROMs are USA version.

Hi, I’m use the PiFBA emulator to play CPS1 and CPS2 (Capcom) and SNK games, PiFBA-Libretro to play Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and MAME4ALL to play another arcade games like PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Joust, My Hero, Truxton, etc…Based on MAME Compatibility Spreadsheets I selected 746 games to my collection those really works without errors or bugs! If You want to download this pack I can upload it to you. Contact me through Message.

You need configure the buttons through raspi-config. There’s a tool to set them. Search on YouTube for ‘PS3 Controller BT on Retropie’! It isn’t difficult but need follow the steps.

Ps: I use ps3 bt controller on Retropie 2.6, I activate it when loading emulation station and the first red led powered on I can select the system and play!

[gutossn]

I’m using the mupen64plus to play Nintendo 64. It’s running fine the game Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Star Fox 64. Other games is freezing and I need to reboot the Pi again. You can run N64 at full speed only Pi 2!

When You say installing Retropie, I don’t know if you download the Retropie Image File and burnt on the SD Card or installing through Raspbian. So, get the image file and the emulators and configurations were made, just need only set the file es_systems.cfg to select what emulator will use to play the systems available.

Good Luck.

Nice work! Congratulations! The most incredible is make an arcade machine of our childhood…Gave coins, many cents to play and now we can enjoy free cost! :)

[gutossn]

You can sort the systems by manufacturer Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, etc…I did this way. You could use the generations 8 bits, 16 bits, etc to sort too.

Use the fba-libretro to play sf3, works fine, no lagging. Download the rom that doesn’t needs the chd files. The filesize is ~62 MB. If you don’t know where download it, contact me.

[gutossn]

I’ve change the power supply and works fine the Street Fight 3 without lags at full speed! I put the roms in ‘fba-libretro’ folder in /home/pi/Retropie/Roms.

The colored rainbow square is gone! :)
Thanks!

You don’t need format the sd card, because the win32 disk image will do it automatically before write the img file to sd card. Try it using another usb port to avoid fails power supply energy.

[gutossn]

It’s very strange, because I make backup of Retropie every change or new configuration done. I use win32 disk image and I never had problems. The SD Card doesn’t have corruption blocks before the backup?

[gutossn]

I’m using Mupen64Plus and works fine! Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo Kazooie works great! USA version must be used. The power supply gives 5v and 2a?

Raspberry Pi2 and Retropie 2.6.

[gutossn]

I’m using PocketSnes, Mupen64Plus and PSxRearmed and them work fine! Check the SNES Roms, download the goodsnes…the n64 roms I played fine this games: Super Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie, etc…Some games are playable, see the videos on YouTube. PSX games are the bin, iso, img files of cd games, not be ecm files (compressed). Check the power supply, must be 5v and 2a. Is there a rainbow square at up/right screen blinking while you play the games? Good luck.

[gutossn]

Delete the file gamelist.xml from the mame folder. It could be in roms folder or .emulationstation .

[gutossn]

The scraper is amazing! Very fast and doesn’t freezes the ES. So could you include the wonderswan and neogeo pocket (and color too) to database? Thank you.

[gutossn]

Thank You. The game loads fine. I’ll check the power supply, because i’m using the tv’s usb to power on the raspberry pi 2.

[gutossn]

The error could be happened because the size of micro sd card. The recommended is 4GB at least. So after loaded the emulation station, is necessary expand the partition to use the free space of sd card. Quit the ES , on the shell write sudo raspi-config. Select the option Expand the filesystem. Reboot the pi. Try and tell me if this helps you to solve your problem. Retropie is amazing!!

[gutossn]

Hi! I did configured my PIFBA and selected only ‘world’ roms, the clones or versions was ignored. I’m very happy to play the old arcade games again on my Mini Pi-Arcade! I filled the PIFBA spreadsheet romlist to help the gamers to avoid testing bad roms.

Thank You.
