Draugr Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) OK! I think I got it. What did I do? I changed the following line in the es_systems.cfg /opt/retropie/emulators/jzintv-1.0-beta4/bin/jzintv --kbdhackfile=/home/pi/RetroPie/hackfile.cfg -z1920x1080,16 -f1 -q %ROM% Changed To /opt/retropie/emulators/jzintv/bin/jzintv --kbdhackfile=/home/pi/RetroPie/hackfile.cfg -z1920x1080,16 -f1 -q %ROM% so I removed the beta folder to the updated jzintv. The original jzintv that came with the 2.4.2 image seems to work fine. My controller worked perfectly and the ENTER 6 key combo returned me to the Emulation Station front end. I'll continue to test out the setup now and report if I come across any other issues. Edited January 22, 2015 by Draugr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did you just change the run command or did you also change the folder name to match it? I'm wondering if the directory naming changed with the 2.4.2 image; that would certainly break David's instructions & file and cause an error message. In any event, congrats!

pimpmaul69 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 OK, so I started all over and STILL have the same result. Is there possibly any errors on the intellivision.us installation page? I followed everything as described. Does anyone have or can make a img file of a working install without the roms and such? I'd like to see if perhaps I am missing something or doing something wrong. If someone has a working setup, then perhaps if I install that img onto my microSD I can test to see if this is a hardware issue on my side, or something I am doing wrong. If anyone can help me further I'd appreciate it. Thanks, John PS: I just tried Jzintv on my Windows PC and it worked, so the exec,grom, etc... files are good. are you putting the jzintv and as1600 from intellivision.us on there? Where are you putting the grom and exec? Are you putting them in /usr/local/share/jzintv/rom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jzintv that comes with 2.4 already supports the key combos to pause, restart, and exit. I tried SERVERAL times to get 2.3 to work but kept getting that SDL error. So I gave up on 2.3 and just using 2.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The install on the intellivision.us site is for version 2.3. I hope to have a version 2.4 soon with all the new folder structures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killersquirel Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That's a great list. I'm new to the Raspberry Pi (just arrived yesterday and haven't tried it yet), but what other systems are emulated on it? I wanted to do the above, but also mame, c64, atari 8bit, and amiga. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 To be clear on what I am delivering. I am making all my setting available where you can just copy them. A requirement is the Ultimate Interface as that I the interface I used to configure everything. Also, I used the Intellivision controller. A Coleco controller will work but I use the bottom right side button to exit the Colecovision emulator. If you use a Coleco controller, you will not have a controller option to exit the emulator. You will have to use a keyboard. For 2600 games, either the Coleco or Inty controller should be fine. For the 5200, the right controller is needed to set the configuration of the game. Quirky? Yes but it all works by just copying over everything and loading up your roms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You may have them setup but do you play the games on the other consoles? I have only known one person that played TurboGrafx 16 games. Honest questions. Why would you play Gameboy games? Are they unique to the Gameboy? Are the games available on a better console where you could enjoy them more?

Are the games available on a better console where you could enjoy them more? quality of graphics isnt an issue for me. I play all the systems i grew up with. I can play a gameboy game even if there is a better version of the game. I love the retro feeling i get when i play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killersquirel Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 An odyssey emulator would indeed be awesome.I just got my Raspberry Pi and I'm completely clueless on how to get this all working. I put a clean install of Raspbian OS on the 8gb microsd card. The computer boots up into the graphical OS. I've downloaded the 2.3 version of Retropie, but have no idea how to run the .elf files to get this started. I'm completely new to linux computing. Is there an easy walkthrough for complete newbies anywhere? Thanks in advance.-mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a Colecovision port either but I have it in my package. I thought about trying to get the Odyssey emulator working but never played the games so my focus went elsewhere.

Visit: http://www.intellivision.us/raspberry/raspberry.php You will need to install RetroPie 2.4.2 and have an Ultimate Interface hooked up.....and using Intellivision controllers. The last two really are not requirements but the Coleco emulator may not work for you and you will have to reconfigure your controllers. I will consider adding additional configurations in the future. For now, the website documents the controller mappings for each console and the package is the easiest thing I could do to make it plug and play for those with my setup.

Draugr Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 A few questions folks.... Now that I have my RetroPie and Intellivision setup properly, I wanted to ask if the following can be done to Emulation Station, and the RetroPie OS. 1. Is there a way to hide the various commandline texts that show during bootup and when launching a game from within Emulation Station? 2. Is there a way to lockdown Emulationstation so that a user could not intentionally, or unintentionally make modifications via scraping, or modifying metadata? I guess that's all for now. Any info is appreciated. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Got that kit from amazon listed here earlier. Total n00b at the Pi... will be awhile before I can play with it, but a quick question to anyone else who got this kit... was yours already open? The upc seal on the box I received was torn, the box likely already opened before shipping to me. I think all the parts are there... any advice on a quick and dirty 'does it all work?' check, or is just getting it to boot enough?

mthompson Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I posted earlier that you can create sub-folders in your ROMs directory to help organize the games on your system. I discovered today that it's easy to assign a folder icon to show up, just like the box art does. Edit the folder's meta data in EmulationStation and assign an image just as you would for a game and then exit the program cleanly so the info gets saved. I made a custom icon for my setup: Edited January 24, 2015 by mthompson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
