herbfargusMemberI’ve tested it on Jessie and it worked for me. You sure that your phone is connected to the same network as your pi?
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberLooks decent enough, should give you most of what you need. I buy from amazon before I buy from eBay but idk the availability of stuff in Australia.
herbfargusMemberI’ll adjust it when I have some time. It’s a wiki though which means anyone can contribute to it so I wouldn’t be offended if you beat me to it.
herbfargusMemberI only have one receiver for my two controllers and it works great.

herbfargusMemberThegamesdb is down. Scrapers won’t work until its back up.
herbfargusMemberI have a 32Gb and a 64 GB. Really anything above 4GB should work fine. Just depends on how much you want on your system.
herbfargusMemberThe wiki only mentions colourisation with is different than shaders and overlays. Completely diff settings.
herbfargusMemberWelcome!
Don’t waste your money on premade retropie consoles. They mark them up and are selling retropie illegally at that. Save yourself some money and consider donating to the retropie project instead as it will actually be going to making retropie better rather than someone profiting from others hard work. Retropie is free and always will be.
I’d recommend the canakit (which you can get on amazon) and then you can get ibuffallo controllers if you want some snes controllers or you can get other cheaper USB snes controllers (I got some super cheap ones from aliexpress) it also works with my old xbox360 controllers. It would also help to have a USB keyboard at least for setting things up (like wifi or to use the pc based emulators)
The TV should work fine. Retropie has settings to change resolution And aspect ratios dynamically.
You can see this page to get an idea on getting retropie set up for the first time:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation
herbfargusMemberUse sudo nano and the you will have permissions to change it.
herbfargusMemberyou’ve done great work and it looks worth integrating.
You can submit a pull request to the github repo
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup
Or if you want to you can add the latest info to
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1055
just so we know its there and once we are able to get some time we may manually add your changes to the original repo just so there is a more complete commit history and then we can integrate it into the main install script.
herbfargusMemberEven if pastebin says its spam you can enter a captcha to allow it. But you have to extract it to a text file first with 7zip or equivalent and then copy the text over manually into pastebin.
herbfargusMemberPossible its a hidden file
01/26/2016 at 06:59 in reply to: starting vic-20 games directly frome ES – got it working :) #115117herbfargusMemberAs an aside I’ll likely be adding CoolCV to the setup script sometime in the future (perhaps after my exams)
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberYou can try and reformat it or write a new image to it but if it doesn’t work you may just be at a loss. Happened with one of my 64GB cards.
herbfargusMemberIt’s already there:
herbfargusMemberIt’s in bold on the page youve looked at twice.
herbfargusMemberWhatever you mapped for the buttons on your keyboard will be the controls you use:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#controller-configurations
herbfargusMemberLook at the pcengine folder in the theme and change the logo to the TurboGrafx logo in the xml file (I think its either tg16.svg or system2.svg ) or its possible I may have given it a separate folder, if that’s the case you can change the es_systems.cfg for the pcengine platform to TurboGrafx (or maybe it’s tg16)
herbfargusMemberHave you tried running them? It should work.
herbfargusMemberWhat are the file extensions for vic 20?
herbfargusMemberPost your build log on something like pastebin
(Note that It is under experimental for a reason…)
Likely something broke upstream or you had network issues.
herbfargusMemberI coded in a warning. He probably just hasn’t updated his script yet.
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh#L39
herbfargusMemberhttps://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/themes#white-screen-of-death
You are also warned about it when you change your theme.
herbfargusMemberGuarantee there will be compatibility issues cause its a different hardware architecture (allwinner chips are not known for their stability, rather they are known for ripping off GPL licenses)
You can try going through the manual installation:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Manual-Installation
herbfargusMemberDuck hunt is my new favourite. Good work.
herbfargusMemberYep if you want to recode emulationstation and recompile it.
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberI and a few others spend a good portion of our free time working to make retropie better (you have me to thank for almost all the documentation. You’re welcome) and if you would take a second to read the documentation you could have your pi set up in under an hour. On top of all the work we do (in our free time for free) we give it to you for free.
You could try some gratitude and be grateful the pi (and retropie project) is giving you an opportunity to learn new things. The pi was never designed to be an easy out of the box solution. The whole reason it was invented was so that people could learn how to use Linux and program. If anything we’ve done people a disservice by making it so easy.
If you want an easy out of the box solution you are better off looking somewhere else (and if so be prepared to spend a bunch of money).
And for the record I’d never touched linux I my life prior to a year ago, and if we wanted exclusivity we would not have made retropie free nor opensourced our code.
herbfargusMemberJust gives you the opportunity to learn new things just as the pi foundation intended ;)
