You may also need to update apt-get: sudo raspi-config (update) apt-get update Select The First Option: Binaries-based installation: This way of installation will download per-compiled versions of RetroArch, various cores, Emulation Station, and SNESDev. In comparison to the second way of installation this is much faster. Even though the binaries will be updated from time to time, a disadvantage is that you probably will not have the most recent versions of the programs. The default selection will install the complete set of packages Overclock Without Voiding Warranty sudo raspi-config Select "overclock," and reboot your Raspberry Pi. This enables a dynamic overclocking that will automatically drop back down to 700MHz in case the Raspberry Pi gets too hot. Note: When you are in here you might want to expand your partition”expand_rootfs”. Add Roms To Correct Folders  NOTE: The install does not come with roms, you will have to supply your own  Example: Copy NES roms to RetroPie/roms/nes  I DO NOT PROVIDE ACCESS TO ROMS.... Emulation Station : Front End GUI Auto run Emulation Station on boot & Samba setup  cd RetroPie-Setup  sudo ./retropie_setup.sh  Go through the options. You will find boot from here  When you are in here do your self a favor and enable\download samba. This will allow you to transfer additional roms from your computer using your local network. XBOX 360 Controller Setup (wired)  Sudo apt-get install xbox drv  Sudo nano /etc/rc.local,  xboxdrv –-triger-as-button--id 0 –-led 2 –-deadzone 4000 –silent & sleep 1  cd ~/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/tools  Then you have to configure the controller  ./retroarch-joyconfig -o p1.cfg -p 1 -j 0  After this you will get a cfg files to add to your default RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg config file:  sudo cat p*.cfg >> ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg XBOX 360 Controller (Exit Emulator) RetroPie> configs> all Back in the retroarch.cfg add these lines to the bottom of your config and change “X” “y” to you preference. Remember to save the change. input_enable_hotkey_btn = "X" input_exit_emulator_btn = "Y" You will need to check the retroarch.cfg file to identify the buttons you want to use here. Obviously you don’t want to exit games using the usual controller buttons – instead, you should be looking for the ones that relate to the buttons in the centre of the controller, perhaps labelled “back” or “select”. NES Controller Full Mapping Same Method Exit, Save, and Load NES Controller save and load state from NES controller & exit emulator input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8 input_save_state_btn = 1 input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8 input_load_state_btn = 2 input_enable_hotkey_btn = “9” input_exit_emulator_btn = “8” Custom Splash To change the splash screen that came installed with the RetroPie Setup Script. You need to copy your custom splash screen image to /etc/splashscreen.png Custom Splash Video With Music edit /boot/cmdline.txt file: sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt Add quiet dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait quiet Press ctrl-x, type y to confirm save, then press enter and return to the terminal.

(For now, working on it) You will also have to configure the volume settings back in the config file to maximize volume over game volume I recommend setting your volume setting to -0. (This will still allow in game sounds to be heard and very faint 8bit music). I am working on a solution to drop to a terminal from the xbox controller home button. Compared to f4 on the keyboard. To manually launch the Pianob, plug in a keyboard press f4 and type pianobar. (This will drop you out of Emulationstation) If anyone has any information on getting this to work inside RetroPie other than via ssh using a controller, please contact me at [email protected] Shairport\Airplay install Air Play sudo apt-get install git libao-dev libssl-dev libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl libwww-perl avahi-utils libmodule-build-perl P Let this process run for a little while.
