r/RetroPie

I connected a keyboard to my pi and this somehow overrides the arcade controls. Now I can’t figure out how to switch it back.

I can’t connect my pi to WiFi because my signal is not strong enough so I can’t do any changes over network.

I’m using emulation station and it’s connected over JAMMA if that’s important.

I have a rpi 3b which came with the standard OS already installed on the SD it came with. I fully set it up when I got it but I haven’t used it beyond signing in to a few things, and I don’t really care about anything on it currently. Can I just delete everything on the SD and start from scratch with the pre-made image on the retropie website or would this be harmful to the system/SD?

Can someone please help me get runcommand working? I’ve tried everything, including following this guide, but I just can’t get it to work.

I'm looking for a game manager that looks more like a flash cart than anything I've seen. I just want like, black screen, big list of roms in a pixel font or whatever. Anyone know of something like this? I'm having a lot of trouble with Batocera and I want to go extreme opposite. Thanks!!!

I am new to all of this so let me explain my goal. i hope to make a device that i can dump from thew physical games i own (both disk and cartridges). just need to know what parts and program i need, also dose any one make the retro controllers with usb, i have genesis and Xbox covered.

not looking to have a full collection but hoping to build an impressive library of games. the games i plan to pull from are nes-game cube, Gameboy- Gameboy AV, Xbox, xbox360, ps1/2, Sega Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast. psp and psv as well

Thank you for reading, I know i am asking a big question but like i said i am new to this, i never even solder before.

Hey guys, I’m new to the Raspberry Pi community and I have a question about retro gaming. I bought a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4 GB of RAM and I was wondering which consoles it can realistically emulate. Thanks!

Hi all,

I purchased a complete system a couple years ago that worked fine. It sat unplugged for a couple years, and now there's no output.

The pi (rpi 3b) shows power on light but no CPU activity. I tried reseating the SD card, turned it back on and saw a huge list of errors, then nothing else even after power and card resets.

Pretty sure the SD card is corrupted. I tried plugging it into my computer, it shows that an SD card is there but windows says I need to format it before I can see anything else, which I'd rather not do since I'd lose the games on there and I'm also not too knowledgeable about this stuff.

Is there anything I can do to fix this card without reformatting? Any tips would be appreciated, my kid is now old enough for us to play together. If I have to reformat I will, but I'd need help with that too.

P. S. I purchased the system from retro gaming house, im sure they're now out of business due to their website being full of ads/spam and not responding to emails.

Hello ive had my retropie 4 for roughly a 2 years and its amazing

Got to learn what goes wrong with it and new issues daily but that makes us good at our craft.

Question does the new retropie 5 capable of playing gamcube and wii games. Im trying to get a dedicated gamecube and wii game set up.

The only ones I can think is dolphin or nintendont.

But im still new at this please let me know

I have a RetroPie build, with a raspberry pi 3 and an official power adapter from raspberry pi. It's connected to a Samsung 4k TV 55".

The issue: after a few minutes playing, the tv signal is lost.

I've changed for a new cable.

I've changed config (HDMI boost, HDMI group 2, HDMI got plug = 1, resolution set to 1080p, etc...)

The 'ray' icon appears sometimes, I think it's strange, as I have a good AC adapter.

I think that the problem can be configuration or power supply.

The cable is new, and good quality.

Does anybody had similar issues?

I just got a Reaper RS3 and I can see it working in Retroarch. The crosshairs move.

If I run a recent version of mame with the game I want to play, the lightgun works, but the game has choppy performance.

If I run it LR Mame 2016, the game is smooth, but I can't get it lightgun to work. Has anyone run into a similar issue? I think if I can get mouse support (what my lightgun works as) working in mame 2016 then I'll be good.

Or alternately, a way to run the game in recent mame without being choppy.

Thanks!
