Does anybody notice a slight input lag when playing SNES compared to a normal console experience ? Mario is jumping but a little slower than my memories. Does it come from the emulation or can the controller be in cause ? (mine are bought from Aliexpress – ok material but i’m sure they won’t last long).

If someone still got problems after all (like X/Y input are going left/right), that’s because the ” and ” are different when you config Retroarch.cfg so the input would reset to “0” meaning the two inputs at the same time.

I don’t have any problem anymore with the input_player1_left_axis and input_player1_left_btn = “h0left” settings.

Once you installed Raspbian, just can just run the command to either autoboot EmulationStation (inside Retropie_Setup Setup section) or just keep default and boot to command line (and then start x or emulationstaion). The guy in the link i mentioned before made a third script to boot directly into Raspbian.

Startx.sh

#!/bin/sh
startx 

You can also control these OS switches with SSH apps (Android/IOS).

I just did it with Openelec and Raspbian (Retropie) installed on a 32Gb SD Card. I followed this tutorial : https://rromo12.wordpress.com/2014/09/10/raspberry-pi-raspbmcretropie-dualboot/

If you want to use it with Openelec you have to delete all the “sudo” commands in Retropie.sh because Openelec has already root permissions:

#!/bin/sh
sudo sed -i 's/7/5/g' /media/RECOVERY/autoboot.txt
sudo reboot

to

#!/bin/sh
sed -i 's/7/5/g' /media/RECOVERY/autoboot.txt
reboot

As stated in the comment if you do a clean install with Noobs, you will have to change the mounted partitions on reboot (or you can get stuck) as they changed boot order in the latest version:

1. “Retropie.sh: changed ‘s/5/7/g’ to ‘s/7/5/g’
2. Raspbmc.sh: changed ‘s/7/5/g’ to ‘s/5/7/g’

It’s absolutely amazing as it will reboot to the correct partition (and which is also great because you will then be “stuck” to the same OS when you normally reboot (good for my girfriend).

And don’t forget to change the path for save state and save files to another path (on retroarch.cfg). My USB card was read only (maybe yours is not) so i had to put these Save settings back to the original /home/pi/retropie/xxx.
