coconono posted:ok, I'll just refigure my project specs and see what I can do with PC hardware. I was shooting for the Retro Pi because of the small form factor but I think I can squeeze a PC tower or breadbox in the spot I had laid out. No problem, hit me up if you've got any questions. I've spent 300x more time setting up new emulator systems than I've actually spent playing them.

I spent 30 or 40 hours going through and updating my ROM library to remove duplicates, correct game names, and add box art images for everything. Then I shut down the Pi to pull a backup image to my laptop, and I found the memory card was corrupted beyond repair. This, too, is the full emulation experience.

Id love to do a small form pc emulator for my tv that could run ps2 games or even wii stuff honestly. Is there a guide at there that says buy this and that

I've been in the market to replace my Retro Pi and honestly I've thought more and more about just buying a Series S then plunking down the ten bucks to get a dev kit license and turn it into a Retroarch box. From what I've seen it handles Saturn pretty well and can even tackle PS2 in some places.

I did, it runs We love Katamari flawlessly (though it's the only PS2 game I tried, so I can't vouch for other games). I tried a few other GBA, SNES and PS1 games without any problem.

is it illegal to gently hint where one could find premade images, preferably one for a 128gb card? the arcade punk links never work for me.

Hope this is the thread for this. I've been wanting to build a handheld raspberry pi emulater thingie forever. I'm a machinist and also have access to a nice 3d printer. There's so many different examples of this kind of thing I'm not even sure where to begin if I wanted to build my own from scratch. Was hoping someone might have a general direction to point me in.

I upgraded my Retropie to a Pi 4 about a month ago.

There was a ThinkCentre in a pawn shop round here for fairly cheap and I considered picking it up multiple times and now someone else has bought it. I now very much want to grab a random small PC from one of those places and see what it can do.

Speaking of cabinets, does anyone know if someone makes a cabinet designed to hold a tankstick? I got one for free, but I'm on the fence about just selling it and buying a cab and wiring up my own controls or trying to find something that works with the tankstick. I finally have the itch to move the emu PC to a cab now that my Sinden guns showed up I might just get a pedestal and wall mount the monitor, but a cabinet would be nice to have to go with my pinball machines.

They're out of stock with no ETA because getting supplies is a nightmare right now.

Hey fellow masochists. I have a RetroPie tangent question. I have a USB memory card reader, but for whatever reason it doesn't recognize the MicroSD card I use for my RetroPie in Win32DiskImage. Wasn't a huge deal, I just used my laptop to image it as it had a built in reader. Well, I sold the laptop, so I need to look into why my PC won't work. Or buy a new card reader. Anyone ever run into this?

That’s normal, windows gets mad at pi sd cards because of the way it orders partitions, iirc. There’s some software recommendations here: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/12806/read-a-file-from-the-raspberry-pis-sd-card-with-windows

I bought a Mister FPGA for my retro gaming needs, so I started wondering what I should do with my old Pi. I decided to turn it into disk drive for my c64: https://cbm-pi1541.firebaseapp.com I think I’m going to print out a sweet casing for it as well. Maybe this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4611954
