I will be trying this one out this weekend on a spare 3B+ board I have. - Retroarch updates - EmulationStation updates - Bluetooth improvements - Updated modules like lr-stella and DOSBox and support for the newer Pi4B boards and the new Pi0-2-W model. i think this is what really pushed the update to be released because there are Pi models being sold that couldn't even use Retropie. they are currently working on support for the current Bullseye OS, so rather than a longer delay they did a good thing and pushed out this long awaited for release 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/275619-the-raspberry-pi-and-retropie-discussion-thread/page/18/#findComment-5023441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just easier to do a fresh install. I plan on going that route with one or two builds but my PiCade and probably the Retroflag SNESpi will stay the way they are. Everything works well. The NESpi and the Super Kintaro pi can be the testing playgrounds.

+fdr4prez Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yeah, if it ain't broke then don't try to fix it The Retropie people definitely do not recommend an OS upgrade on existing builds - as you've witnessed yourself - they always recommend a fresh install on a new card 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/275619-the-raspberry-pi-and-retropie-discussion-thread/page/18/#findComment-5024227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never set one up myself before. Retropie is the place to start. My own $0.02 - don't buy a pre-made image from eBay or any other 3rd party site. The devs don't get a cent of any money charged and they will not support anything except a built from scratch image from their site. Once you walk through the guide listed it should be pretty easy to get running. I remember I had massive headaches getting this up and running but it turned out to be a cheap fake SD card. Once I fixed that it was very easy. There's also a great support forum there if you get stuck.

ClassicGMR Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 TL;DR - new Pi setup in the house. Added a new member to the Pi family last week. I just "finished" the build. Why? - I needed a portable LCD for PC repairs when I go to a person's house. It helps a lot more than you'd think. I wanted a small HDMI solution that had built in speakers and would also run on battery if needed. I really wanted a Sunfounder 10.1" LCD and kept an eye on eBay for a cheap used one. They usually hit $80-$100 either way. Well I picked one up that had a Pi4 2GB installed with a 32gb sd card for $100 ($120 shipped). Great deal! It runs on the same battery pack I use for my PiCade and I already had a bunch of 128gb cards and an XBox One controller lying around. All I needed was a $9 DC jack to USB cable. So not only do I get to use this for work but I now have my 2nd portable Pi. How's it work? - I put it through a series of tests last night. I ran the battery down 50% before I shut down for the night. In that 50% I got 4+ hours of use running an overclocked Pi 4 at 1.9GHz and a 10" LCD with sound. Transferred and scraped a bunch of new files. I played a lot of games while running Putty to get temperature checks every 10 seconds. It never went above 50°C. I also didn't see any screen tearing or blurry images. So what? - Well this is a Pi discussion thread and it's a Pi! Plus I'm happy about it. It still amazes me how much simpler it is to set up RetroPie from scratch now than when I started doing this. They have made this OS as user friendly as Linux can get (IMO).

ts-x Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 If anyone uses a RetroPie theme that supports video snaps and has an interest in Intellivision games, please check out this thread over in the RetroPie forums. I just uploaded an archive of 156 high quality game play video snaps (recorded by me in jzIntv 🙂). 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/275619-the-raspberry-pi-and-retropie-discussion-thread/page/18/#findComment-5344973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew how to do this. Thanks, appreciate the feedback! The recording process is not too bad once you get the software configured (after setting up an “AVI” hotkey in jzIntv), but editing and capturing the appropriate gameplay does take take some time. Let me drop one more thing here for Intellivision players… a little while back I uploaded a large collection of preconfigured keyboard hack files for an Xbox 360 controller to my GitHub page as well. Here’s the link to the RetroPie forum post related to that. That GitHub also includes some other miscellaneous jzIntv stuff - custom palettes, launch scripts that help resolve joystick drift, cfgs, etc. Edited November 8, 2023 by ts-x 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/275619-the-raspberry-pi-and-retropie-discussion-thread/page/18/#findComment-5345317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts-x Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I'll add an addendum to the original upload in the future when I have few more, but in the interim here are four additional Intellivision video snaps for anyone who's interested (Super Pro Beauty and the Beast, Chippi+, Lock 'N Chase 2: Revenge of Lupin, and Lode Runner).

lucifershalo Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Hello I have a Raspberry Pi5 and the latest Recalbox most of the emulators work fine except for Colecovision, I cant make it work, it keeps saying a bios is missing, I checked in bios folders Colecovision and Machines, replaced all the bios with the ones from the standalone version of BlueMSX, but nothing, any idea?

VectorGamer Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 How do you get games from Champ to run on Retropie? None of the demos work. I'm guessing a different emulator needs to be used but I'm unsure of how to get this to work on Retropie. If someone has the patience for detailed instructions I'd appreciate it.

What emulator are you using in RetroPie? If you are using the default emulator, then it is too old. You'd have to install the Stella emulator from the Optional Packages and install Stella. Then you can change to that emulator as your default emulator, or you can select it per game. Also, you need to be using the current version of RetroPie and confirm that you've done the Update for it to ensure that you are installing the latest Stella emulator.

I ran the update but it seems to error out. I get a bunch of 404 not found error messages. I didn't see an "Optional Packages" anywhere in the menu unless I have to successfully run an update first.

+fdr4prez Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Did you do the initial installation of Retropie or did you purchase a pre-configured card? Do you know what version of Retropie is installed? I ask, because if it is pre-configured, then it could be removed or hidden. If the version is old, then it may be too old to update.
