Fine for SNES and NES games, and once I remember which buttons line up with A, B & C, acceptable enough for the Sega systems. Although I've got some N64 roms to load in, I think these controllers have too few buttons to actually get anywhere past the demo screen. Retrospex do a N64-style USB controller that might be useful with those. |

I've got two of the 8bitdo controllers that are designed for use with the Switch - they work perfectly, and are really good. |

Being able to play Alien Breed '92 again is very good. Looking forward bashing through it. Some amiga games don't work for no apparent reason, but hey ho. Great thing about Chaos Engine is the AI npc, I can give Big One a controller and she thinks we are playing together |

You need to sort out that aspect ratio before you invite anyone else to play with you. It's giving me the chills! |

There was an Xbox game called Death Throw (maybe) that was a bit like Speedball 2. I liked it a lot. |

Supremacy on the Amiga is a brutal resource management game. It took over 2 hours to vanquish the easy level opponent. Lotus 2 seems rock hard. I cannot beat level one. Desert Strike has held up well. |

DP, many apologies if you already covered this upthread, but I'm thinking I might make a megabox for my brother, featuring a heady combination of Amiga games plus classics from the SNES and Megadrive, wotever else I can find. However, if I follow your amiga instructions, does my megabox have to be Amiga-only? |

Certainly not. The Retropie interface does dozens of systems. Popular consoles are much simpler to do than Amiga stuff. I reckon I've covered that upthread. |

I took a disk image of my pie, put it on a second card and gave it to someone. I tried a few games on their pie and all was fine. My Sensi Soccer works, but theirs does not. It just shows the hand holding disk amiga screen. Any ideas? |

Brace yourselves, idiot coming through. I have embarked on this. I've got as far as getting the Retropie image onto the pi. However, when I tried to add the Amiberry package I did so without it being connected to the internet. It did a bunch of stuff, ran a load of script, and now I don't know if I can just try and repeat the process with it connected to the internet this time, or if I need to conduct some remedial work first (I'm imagining I've basically fucked the foundations before I start building the house.) Is there any way to undo what I'd done with the Amiberry snafu, or is it unlikely to actually matter one jot and I should just manfully tussle with the machine and find out myself because that's we did before the internet. |

Exciting updates! I spent the evening turning the house upside down looking for thumb drives. Once upon a time we were swimming in thumb drives. Couldn't move for thumb drives. Where did they go? My son can't have eaten all of them. He must be shitting gigabytes. I ended up borrowing a thumb drive from work. Then I managed to transfer the kickstart roms to the bios folder. The Amiga roms are on the downloadatron - I downloaded all, then went through the process of identifying the games that were worth playing/would be remembered by my brother, for actual inclusion on the retropie. Don't want him wading through shit for shit's sake. Question: where there are two entries for an lha(sic?), do I need to include both? Or can I afford to pick and choose? |

Do you mean that there are multiple lha files for each game? |

Yes! I will try and grab a screenshot when I'm home, but there might multiple lha files for Crazy Cars 3 or something. |

Might gift a RetroPie setup to my nephews for Christmas. Can anyone point me to a curated ROM list? I'm thinking it might be better to start with a few dozen classics than a thousand ROMs of questionable usefulness. The latter might overwhelm/bore them. If not, can anyone point me at a big ROMset, and I'll curate a few choices myself? They got a SNES mini last year and have really enjoyed it, so I'm not barking at the moon here. Any requirements I should be aware of other than the obvious? I was thinking of the 8bitdo SNES-style pads. The ones with analogue sticks. |
