So, I'll keep this out of the Cottage thread, because it's nerdy and normal people go there. I've set up retropie in the Pi3 with a different emulator (amiberry) and fed it a few gigs of WHDLoad configs. It should now work in a plug and play way. I have a Mayflash megadrive controller adapter that takes 9-pin joysticks. This is looking pretty good so far. I'll report back when the files have finished transferring. |

This sounds ace. Is that adaptor 2 player? Do you need me to bring a pad? I could even bring a CD32 pad to make it really authentic. |

Yeah, it's two player. I have two joysticks but they're both technically Mega Drive controllers, so another would be welcome |

Thinking about it, mine would probably be Megadrive controllers too. The CD32 pad is fine but you wouldn't pick it over a Megadrive pad. I'll bring a couple anyway. |

Potentially bonehead question here: does the TV at the cottage have an HDMI input? I have phono cables for that authentic interlaced experience if not. |

I imagine it has just one, very big HDMI input... around 45% larger than a normal one. |

So this everything (apart from a USB power adapter) necessary to get the Amiga and SNES/Mega Drive emulator going full bore. That's two Amiga controllers and two SNES controllers. Covers most bases. The keyboard and mouse are necessary, sadly as I can't get the amiga emulator to quit using the controller alone. |

I occasionally dust off one of my Amigas with the intention of playing it, but end up losing a day dicking around with the setup as I've forgotten more than I can remember when it comes to the Amiga. |

It's surprisingly easy to do. 1 Pi3 and a memory card. 16GB is fine 1 mayflash adapter for the joysticks (and a joystick if you haven't got one) (alternatively, pretty much any usb controller works fine) USB mouse and keyboard RetroPie install Then follow this guide Pretty much it. |

The kids are currently playing Sooty and Sweep's Fun With Numbers from 1991. Who said kids won't play retro? |

They seem to like Mega Drive games best. I guess they're the right age

Now, if only I could get it to quit from the joypad... |
