Well as far as the cores go- I think the cores for retropie and the cores from the online downloader on retroarch should mostly match- if they dont you can try compiling from source in menu 5 from the retropie setup script for that specific emulator (though its possible there may be bugs that cause it to not work) so just stick with the defaults for now and if everything else doesnt work then it may be worth looking at compiling from source and using the latest retroarch build on the pc.

Also just for reference retropie 3.0 uses retroarch 1.2.2

[herbfargus]

It also may be wise to test on localhost (i.e. with a desktop and a pi on the same network) just to know that it is actually working first, then if it doesnt work with others outside the network you can know that it is a network issue rather than a retroarch issue.

[herbfargus]

If I remember correctly on the PC I had to go into the retroarch menu each time and enable netplay manually in the network options before I launched a rom through the rgui (this is essentially what the runcommand menu does on retropie).

yes- the port matters very much as that is how they are communicating over the IP. really all the settings should be exactly the same except one should be host, one should be client. (if you are on separate networks you may have to enable port forwarding through your router)

Just for reference: in retroarch 1.2.2 its in settings>>network>>netplay enable

I had to set that each time I launched a new game on the pc (you may be able to set netplay_mode = "true" in the retroarch.cfg as well so you dont have to manually set it each time.

[herbfargus]

hey I made a quick wiki page off the top of my head from when I got netplay working. I will work on adding screenshots and whatnot once I have the chance:

Yes I would suggest you do that, unlike hyperspin, piracy isn’t something this forum condones- regardless of the fact that it is commonplace and as such we won’t accommodate our code to those practices.

[herbfargus]

It is a valid idea. But everyone’s roms arent named the same so it would be difficult to come up with a one size fits all pack of images without a way for it to adapt to the specific file names of the user.

[herbfargus]

You may need to run it as sudo. But other than that I have no idea. May be worth getting a hold of another sd card just to eliminate the possibility of your card being corrupt.

[herbfargus]

You could also try

mount -o remount,rw /

From here:

[herbfargus]

Could be a faulty sd card- how are you shutting down your pi?

[herbfargus]

If reinstalling the lr-snes9x-next doesn’t fix it try unzipping your roms. (I always unzip my roms first- minus the arcade based emulators)

[herbfargus]

the rest of the forum, the github log….

some SNES roms just won't work (list inlcuded)

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/965

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/946

In the next incremental release it should be fixed.

I can change the colour In the code with svg so if we need to adapt it for backgrounds we can.

[herbfargus]

If you’re making the blueprints in svg that would be the preferred file type but I’ve been saving the blueprints in each folder I haven’t quite tested them yet

[herbfargus]

Looks great!

[herbfargus]

not without a script of sorts (beyond my level of expertise). have you tried sselph’s scraper from the setup script?

[herbfargus]

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Can’t-Insert-Coins%3F

except in your case I think the home button may be button 16. I dont know though as I dont own a ps3 controller

[herbfargus]

When you say upgrade as in from 2.6 to 3.0? You’re best off starting with a fresh sd image. Too much has changed for an update to be seamless (always important to make backups before any update)

but if you’re just looking to fix your es_systems.cfg see:

http://pastebin.com/yCT4H8KB

typically there will be a backup es_systems.cfg in /etc/emulationstation

The folders that used to be used have been consolidated. you can see the wiki for the current folder structure: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki

[herbfargus]

updated from a previous versio or installed from the sd image? start from a fresh 3.0 sd image. It runs for everyone else so its likely something you’ve done (or havent done) on your end.

a few minutes on google:

I don’t have the hardware so theres no way I could test but it seems to be explained well enough in the aformentioned posts.

[herbfargus]

Yes otherwise it may not have enough power to run. Unless of course you invest in a powered USB hub. Typically you’ll know you aren’t getting enough power when either peripheral devices don’t work or a rainbow square shows up in the top right corner of the screen.

[herbfargus]

The floating blueprint things would be best coded in rather than rendered on the background image as ronoh said. you can see an example of that with this theme I’m working on: https://github.com/HerbFargus/es-theme-carbon

Keep up the good work.

[herbfargus]

You are correct- the joystick flags need to be enabled when compiling- the build we use didnt enable them when they compiled the repo. So we may look into compiling it ourselves in the future but it all pends on the repo we pull from now when they update to kodi 15. may be a while before we get it all sorted. Of course you can always try to compile it yourself (but its a headache and I haven’t figured out how to do it myself yet) so until then unless you have an xbox 360 controller, I don’t know of any simple way to integrate joypad controls in kodi. I typically just use the yatse app on my smartphone.

[herbfargus]

Because the paths of the setup script and the theme from the forum here are different, you have to use one or the other- you can’t use both.

[herbfargus]

When you say you run the update are you typing sudo apt-get install upgrade ? Because if so that’s wrong. It should be sudo apt-get upgrade

Without details of exactly what you’re doing its hard to know exactly what you’re breaking.

Thanks Sekazi-

It’s working from the setup script now- I apologise to anyone it inconvenienced.

So here’s the deal Sekazi- your theme is just so awesome it doesnt fit in the same group as the others- so I’ve adjusted the paths just for your basic version of your theme in order for it to fit the install template as the other themes in the script: for now if people want the more complete theme with your fancy gamelists and whatnot they’ll still need to get it from this forum post.

Once you’ve finished the theme to your liking in all its completed glory we can look into tweaking the code a bit to cater to your themes awesomeness with the default paths you’ve set it up with.

Hopefully that is acceptable to you.

[herbfargus]

I’ll look into it again this evening. It’s possible I missed something.

[herbfargus]

;)

Here we are: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tx5k3F0_AO6w00WrXULMBSUTRhtLyIhHI8Wz8GuqLfQ/edit?usp=sharing

The wiki has been updated with the google drive link as well and its editable by anyone so anyone can contribute to it.

Thanks- Great list!

[herbfargus]

Ha ha must have been while I was replying. I’ll copy it on my Google drive just so there is more than one copy. I’ll leave the reference to this post on the wiki as well.

[herbfargus]

I can add it to my gooogle drive folder that has all the other compatibility lists and post it on the wiki if that would be acceptable to you.

[herbfargus]

It must be difficult to find a place to store all these original game cartridges that you own.

I figure if you can afford that many games surely an extra $15 for a 64gb sd card shouldn’t be an issue.

[herbfargus]

It’s a common issue. The pi just doesn’t quite cut it for n64 emulation.

[herbfargus]

There’s the rgui which can be opened with select + x…

[herbfargus]

just in case you’re curious, here’s the repo I created, I’ve already added your first 3 wallpapers: https://github.com/HerbFargus/es-theme-tronkyfran

[herbfargus]

Transferring roms is also explained clearly on the aforementioned wiki page. If there is any confusion see the linked video on that wiki page.

You don’t have to delete everything rather you need to create a folder called retropie first on the usb and then plugging it into the pi will generate the needed folders. Then you’ll transfer your roms into their respective folders
