this is how my looks

[shywolf28]

I am dualbooting with Raspbmc, if thats how you are doing yours, then follow this way: We need to install advance launcher, two ways of doing this one you can go to terminal and type
wget http://www.gwenael.org/Repository/repository.angelscry.xbmc-plugins/repository.angelscry.xbmc-plugins-1.2.2.zip

or download angelcry’s repository and do it through there, assuming you know how to install add ons..

First create RetroPie.sh(just copy that one that is attached and save it to home/pi/…..

Make it executable

sudo chmod +x RetroPie.sh

Now open Advanced Launcher

Select Default>>Standalone Launcher >>Home folder >> RetroPie.sh
Leave Application Arguments Blank, set the title as you wish, platform doesn’t matter, i chose Linux, i did not provide a thumbnail or fan art (just select OK)

With that done I recommend you add the newly created launcher to your favorites to avoid having to dig for it every time you want to switch.

next create a new directory: sudo nano /media/RECOVERY/autoboot.txt
and type : boot_partition=5

sudo reboot and you should have it…let me know how it goes

[shywolf28]

you have to add retropie to the advance launcher in order to reboot straight into emulationstation..thats how i got mine to work

[shywolf28]

that answers that, glad everyone is helping out

[shywolf28]

glad i could help

[shywolf28]

i didnt install the xboxdrv, what i did was go through retropie setup script.

log in to terminal as user pi password raspberr and then go to

cd RetroPie-Setup

sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

Go to option 3: Setup

then go to option 327 install xbox contr. 360 drvier (wait for it to finish and reboot)

See if that works

[shywolf28]

you probably have old files there that you had downloaded before that are affecting the installation, i know thats what happened to me the first time i did it, i had to restore my image and start new again, that fixed it for me

[shywolf28]

Do this, navigate to /opt/retropie/configs/all/ and replace the retroarch.cfg with the one that i have attached. It has my xbox 360 controller for the emulators..see if that helps..let me know

[shywolf28]

This is kind of a dirty way of doing it but just replace the file attached with this one, navigate to mugen64 emulator folder and place it there….side note, i would overclock your raspberry pi, runs smoother

[shywolf28]

this is how i have mine setup

as far as i know, you have to still have a subfolder to go into it..even though it says xbmc media player, once you click on it, it will take you to the subfolder again.

[shywolf28]

yeah you need to add permission to it, easiest way to do it is go to winscp navigate to the xbmc.sh and open up terminal and run

sudo chmod +x xbmc.sh

that should do it..

[shywolf28]

i installed it by going to home/pi/RetroPie/roms and creating a folder named apps

then edit sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and add this at the end of the </systemlist>

<system>
<fullname>Apps</fullname>
<name>apps</name>
<path>~/RetroPie/roms/apps</path>
<extension>.sh .SH</extension>
<command>%ROM%</command>
<platform>pc</platform>
<theme>apps</theme>
</system>

next creat and edit sudo nano xbmc.sh

#!/bin/bash
sudo xbmc

put this script xbmc.sh in the apps folder you created above

sudo reboot and it should be on your emulationstaion carousel

hope that helps

[shywolf28]

To add xmbc start by adding this, store at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list

deb http://archive.mene.za.net/raspbian wheezy contrib

improt the key

sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-key 5243CDED

then update

sudo apt-get update

finally install xbmc

sudo apt-get install xbmc

hope that helps

[shywolf28]

none taken, i guess i should of made it clear, but your answer is what i was getting at lol

[shywolf28]

its just a generic wireless adapter, retropie picks it up as a microsoft corp. xbox 360 wireless adapter..any kind will work really. Doesnt even have any model on it lol.

[shywolf28]

yes you do need one, doesnt have to be a microsoft wireless adapter though, i have a third party adapter and it works great on emulationstaion and the emulators

[shywolf28]

No Problem

[shywolf28]

jerezer1985, i have attached that file for you, to make it easier though use a program called winscp, that helped me out alot during my setting of openelec and retropie

[shywolf28]

glad i could help

[shywolf28]

correct, emulationstation by default has a theme file called simple already installed by default, if you would like, you can create a new one yourself (which is what i did) and you can change themes at anytime in the main menu of emulationstation.

[shywolf28]

giorgio, if you are using mame4all like i am, you select a specific key to get out of the emulator, press tab to go into input general and look for UI cancel, thats the one you want to change and it will take you back to emulationstation carousel.

[shywolf28]

lol didnt let me attach it…see if it does it this way

[shywolf28]

Do this, navigate to /opt/retropie/configs/all/ and replace the retroarch.cfg with the one that i have attached. It has my xbox 360 controller for the emulators..see if that helps..let me know

[shywolf28]

Dont know if you would like mine, but you can use this i made

[shywolf28]

unfortunately not yet

[shywolf28]

if your talking about setting up a wireless xbox 360 cotroller, do this—i setup mine this way and it works both on emulationstation and emulators..just go into terminal and type…

Sudo chmod +rw /opt/retropie/configs/all
Cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
./retroarch-joyconfig –o /opt/retropie/configs/all/p1.cfg –p 1 –j 0
Follow directions

Sudo reboot

hope that helps..let me know

[shywolf28]
