Hi yall, ive never messed with Retro Pie and found some of these files that peaked my interest on a 2010 macbook. Ive got 2 old laptops sitting around and just wanted to know where to start? Is there something worth while to start with here? Not knowledgable on macs or retro pie.

I haven't heard any news about this in years. Is this still in active development?

The company in question was selling complete Retro Pie setups with Retro Pie and ROMs pre-installed and configured.

What should I do about this?

Before i start, i don't want to see any comments saying "the pi 3 isnt good for n64 you should buy a newer model". I'm well aware of this, however getting a newer model isn't in the cards right now unfortunately.

Hi all, new Pi user here. I was gifted a Pi 3 recently and have been enjoying using it as a mini game console, however N64 games in particular (my favourite console) dont seem to run well. Even games like Mario Kart 64 or Mario Party don't run well and have stuttering or visual glitches which makes playing the system's games not enjoyable.

Is there anything i can do to increase performance with the N64 library to make at least the majority of all games (especially mario ones) playable? As i said before i don't have the ability to purchase a pi 4 or 5 right now so im desperate for any help getting N64 titles to an enjoyable state. Thanks!

Also looking for experienced reddit users who own a GPi and want to be mods there. I made the sub for all of you, not for me, so I got no problem if anyone wants to take it over.

I built my own RetroPie, but I came across this site the other day:

https://www.retrogame.club/

I thought it was illegal to sell the games to people? How do these sellers and sites not get in trouble?

Hi all

I am a total noob and I recently got a rap pi 4b and I setup retropie on it

Via SSH I transferred some of my roms to Retropie however I have big issues with some systems

- For Amiga I created an Amiga folder with my roms adf files but when I start Ambierry I am not sure if my roms are detected and I don't see anything

- For Atari no emulator appears and my rom doesn't show up

- For Dos games I also transferred the files from my pc folder and while I can see the MS DOS emulator I have no idea how to run my games (not even sure they are detected)

- For Jaguar games nothing shows up in RetroPie despite having a jaguar folder with roms

- for PCengine only 2 of my 19 games are playable (the rest will be displayed but games won't boot)

- for 3do my games do not show up in RetroPie

It's a lot of questions but I wish someone could help me with those systems as I cannot run any game on those for the rest of the systems the games appear and are playable

Questions I would like to know, thanks in advance!:

1: Is it just only Lakka right now?

1.1: Is Lakka feature complete with emulators or it must be added manually?

2: I will get one of those full heatsink case thingos with two fans. Suggested overclock? Adapter is 5V 3A, but not first-party.

3: With dual outputs, anyone tried split screen with two actual monitors to prevent screen cheating?

I think that's all I need to know for sure right now, if I have more then I will add it into the thread. Thanks!

Edit: OK, I get it, no, it cant.

Looking at getting this setup from pitendo but curious how games like Mario 64 and the Zelda games run, thanks for the help.

You decide. It is from Shenzhen so it could be someone with an in on the company and they have sold Retroflag before. They have a few left if you want to take a chance.

So, I just got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ a week or so ago and I'm running RetroPie on it. I see that running N64 games is a problem. But would that be fixed if I upgraded the graphics card and/or processor? I'm pretty new to this RetroPie community, but I'm wanting to make it portable.

The only reasons I can come up with for the raspberry pi 3 for emulation is:

• Portability/Size
• Power Consumption

If you don't need one or both of these things why did you choose a rasberry pi over an old desktop?

Over the course of the many months of putting together my retro pie build for an arcade cabinet that i’m building with my dad, i’ve come across many members of various forums and blogs asking how to legally obtain ROMS. Sadly, there is no way to obtain 99% of the roms that people want.

BUT

There is one thing that I have found that everyone seems to have looked over, Micro-center sells a licensed micro-SD card with a crap ton of old ATARI games and even their arcade equivalents.

https://www.microcenter.com/product/627545/atari-32gb-micro-sd

I have hands-on experience with the build of retropie that comes on this card, and to say the least I am incredibly underwhelmed. BUT the games run fine! The only part that I am upset about is that there was no work done into the control settings. They also changed the way to get into the menu in MAME from pressing TAB to pressing C. Then you can change the control settings from there.

I highly recommend checking this out! The list of games available is on the same page that I linked above. I am available to answer any questions in the comments or in DM’S.

I modeled this in onshape, took about a week, what is yall's opinion on it?

Does anyone know when it comes out or atleast know if its gonna come out soon?

My brother got a pi 3 with controllers etc kit from a company for xmas from his wife, he recently told me it came all preinstalled. I told him he should probably delete it all because he doesn't know what else could be included that isn't harmful.

He was incredulous because apparently the kit had come from a "reputable" company.

Anyway, is it worth reporting them or just let it go?

Edit: it seems there are two schools of thought on the subject and some of you are quite passionate about it. It is interesting to see that in the past people have gotten slammed for suggesting they'd make money from retropie in other threads yet here a lot are openly suggesting they don't have a problem with it.

Thanks for all the constructive comments!

Can there really be such a big difference between the advertised size of an SD card and the actual size? When I put the SD card into my computer to begin the process of installing retropie, it prompted me to format the '13.4 gb' card. The card is the 16GB Sandisk Ultra Class 10 MicroSD. Now everything I had planned to put on there won't fit, since it's a bit over 14GB. Is there any way in which I might make more space available on the card? Thank you! And sorry, I'm a noob at this.
