Has anyone used the Retrobit wireless SNES controllers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrk68_hWbqs) on the RETROpie GPIO board?

yes SNES games work fine

A word of warning though if you run the scraper to pull game details when it has finished browsing your games is frustratingly slow so if you are going to run over the network dont have scraped game data – Also to help speed up navigation i would reccomend under the emulators directory you have folders 0-9 a-c etc etc and put your ROMS into the respective folders

I have this working sucesfully – it is a bit of a bodge though

All i did was delete the contents of /home/pi/RetroPie/roms so it was utterly empty after copying the directory structure to a folder on my server

Then i opened the fstab and added the following line

//servername/share/subfolder /home/pi/RetroPie/roms cifs username=,password= 0 0

This has mapped the server share/subfolder to the Roms directory so the RetroPie install does not think anything is changed, it takes a bit longer to boot but im planning on leaving it on as much as possible and once i have finished testing i will be setting it up so no logon credentials are in the fstab folder (this was a quick dirty test to see if it was possible)
