    Almost completed!

    All that is left to do is add the backlight for the marquee and some more aluminum trim work! I’m pretty stoked at how well it turned out.

    I simply access it through my PC. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and when I click on My Computer, it gives me the option under Network to access Retropie folders. Easy peasy.

    Thanks! I appreciate your fast response and that definitely answers my question.

    One more question: I notice that, after importing my games into the folders, I’m now seeing duplicates of each game. Now, when I transferred them into each of their respective emulator folders, I just transferred the games in their .zip form. Is the duplicate because it’s now showing the unzipped executable file + the original zip file?? If so, do I first need to unzip them all on my PC and then transferred the unzipped files? Thanks!

    From what I found, with the latest 3.0 version, you need to create a folder titled RETROPIE on your thumb drive now and it builds your emulator rom folders inside it. I ran into the same problem and that resolved it.

    I have mine set up with an Ipac2 as well and am not having any sensitivity issues. I just need to get the Player 2 side set up, at the moment. I’m currently using HAPP arcade controls (not sure what you are utilizing).

    I’m sure you put a hell of a lot of work into that, but as the previous post asks: HOW did you do it?

    Thanks Floob,
    I’ll give those threads a read through and see if they’ll help.

    From what I’ve read so far, I need to:
    1) Update the firmware on my IPAC2 from ULTIMARC website
    2) Install Win IPac (for manually changing assigned keys)
    3) sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
    -map assigned IPac keys to reflect:

    # Keyboard input. Will recognize letters (“a” to “z”) and the following special keys (where “kp_”
    # is for keypad keys):
    #
    # left, right, up, down, enter, kp_enter, tab, insert, del, end, home,
    # rshift, shift, ctrl, alt, space, escape, add, subtract, kp_plus, kp_minus,
    # f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, f9, f10, f11, f12,
    # num0, num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6, num7, num8, num9, pageup, pagedown,
    # keypad0, keypad1, keypad2, keypad3, keypad4, keypad5, keypad6, keypad7, keypad8, keypad9,
    # period, capslock, numlock, backspace, multiply, divide, print_screen, scroll_lock,
    # tilde, backquote, pause, quote, comma, minus, slash, semicolon, equals, leftbracket,
    # backslash, rightbracket, kp_period, kp_equals, rctrl, ralt
    #
    # Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the “nul” bind, which disables the bind completely,
    # rather than relying on a default.
    input_player1_a = ctrl
    input_player1_b = alt
    input_player1_y = shift
    input_player1_x = space
    input_player1_start = num1
    input_player1_select = num5
    input_player1_l = z
    input_player1_r = x
    input_player1_left = left
    input_player1_right = right
    input_player1_up = up
    input_player1_down = down
    input_player2_a = a
    input_player2_b = s
    input_player2_y = q
    input_player2_x = w
    input_player2_start = num2
    input_player2_select = num6

    osnoogie,
    Will that wiring setup, and using the GPIO be compatible with all other emulators (NES, SNES, Sega, ATARI, etc)?

    I’m pretty new to the whole Lixux/Debian based programming and have completed building a full, 2-player arcade cabinet based on Lusids Arcade Flashback design. I’ve been fighting like mad to get it to work with an iPac2 controller (which RetroArch will not recognize at all for programming keys) and am seriously looking at wiring it directly into the GPIO.

    Current Setup:
    RetropPie 3.0 Beta V2
