Le Gogh Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Glad you sorted the lag Batman! If you don't already know, there's a few things you can do to personalise Retropie: Themes Custom Splashscreens (still images or a video) Scraping game data (gives you things like box art, a game synopsis etc) A bit of Googling will explain how to do these, but if you need any help hit me up.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I may jump on this raspberry pi train. Been thinking it would be nice to emulate all my old games from when I had the great sell-off of '13. has anyone done N64 on it? Do they run well?

I've run a few N64 games on my pi 3, and for the most part they run ok. There's a few settings that you can change to make things run a little better, and overclocking seems to help as well. The main thing is, Mario 64, Starfox 64, and Goldeneye work well (although Goldeneye hasn't aged well, the controls are awful). 8bitdo are even releasing a bluetooth n64 controller... http://www.8bitdo.com/n64/ Haven't got around to testing Mario Kart 64 yet.

Oh man, I forgot about Paper Mario! This guy has a handful of videos where he tests N64 games on a recent version of Retropie (4.0), may be worth checking some of them out?

rooks Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 "Beat" Pokemon Moon today, in that I finished the Elite Four and watched the credits scroll. Finally time to dig into the actual game Word to the wise - don't become Champion if you're in a hurry. After the final fight there are like 20-30 mins of unskippable cutscenes followed by 10 minutes that felt like 10 hours of unskippable credits, followed by another 5 to 10 minutes of unskippable cutscenes before you can finally save your game post-final fight.

marc32137 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I got my RetroPie set up tonight and it seems to be running pretty well. Only small issues I've come across is with overscan (only really noticeable in the Emulation Station menus and changing the settings does nothing) and the SNES USB controller I got is really sensitive, especially the DPad. I'll hold down to scroll through games and it will mistake it for either left or right and take me to another system or sometimes it will just scroll on its own without me pressing anything. I have another controller of the same style I haven't opened yet so tomorrow I'm gonna see if that one has the same problems. Other than that, I've had a blast playing through games I haven't thought about in decades (and wondering how I was so good at them when I was 8 and how much I suck at them now).

I saw they had the 2nd one at Best Buy for $25. I would've gotten it if I already didn't pay full price for it around when it came out haha.

Dillhole Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Picked up Burnout Paradise from Steams Autumn Sale. Owned it years ago on disc but wanted it on Steam. Still a really good open world racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Finished Castlevania I and II: Simon's Quest (NES). Probably going to start III: Dracula's Curse soon. I had never played past the first level on first one. Pretty challenging and a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisherprice Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I debated it a lot yesterday, but ended up buying an Xbox One S for $198 after all my discounts at work. I doubt I'll use it much, since I still have a ton of games to play on my PS4, but I picked up Rare Replay on clearance and Red Dead Redemption on sale today.

Unique Antics Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Just bought the Rock Band 4 Rivals wireless Fender Jaguar bundle for $49 on Amazon. Not a bad deal considering the Rivals DLC is $30 alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
