  1. @Hierarchy ..but actually I recall someone having printed a #R36S/gameboy like chassis over an #RPi with buttons and all 😂 😎

    The software parts are common #retro #gaming #foss core, commonly running on RPis and family too. #RetroPi

  2. @m0xEE Ah yes, someone else's mind who wanders from the BBC 😆

    I have young kids, and they love playing a #retropi from time to time. Madden 98, MarioKart, Mario, Sonic, etc.

  3. Where do people source their ROMs for #retropi ?
    Its many years since I last ran it - I thought that last time I just booted it up and stuff magically appeared.

  4. I've a raspberryPi I'm planning on getting up and running with #RetroPi
    I'd like to get a pair of wireless controllers up and running so wor lass and I can game together.
    What's the easiest most bomb proof method? I really don't want to spend my evenings debugging shit, I was us to hang out and play Bubble Bobble together.

  5. Today I've been utterly useless to my family. I've done some pointless shit like unsuccessfully adding extra games to #RetroPi, successfully getting rid of the deadzone on my old #XBox steering wheel in #ForzaHorizon5 on #Steam on #ArchLinux...

    In my wife's eyes, the only useful thing I've done was to remove and clean up a big box "it might get useful someday" things. But honestly, I've only done it so I can lower my desk far enough so I can use mentioned steering wheel...😅

  6. #Hello #saturday

    My #RetroPi stopped working (haven't tried it for some time) after update to #bookworm...

    I figured #EmulationStation does need some recompiling, for the new libraries...

    Poor #RaspberryPi 4, has been going for 2 hours now...😅

  7. I’m so happy my #KidsOnBikes do not crave Minecraft or Roblox…

    They’re very excited to play #RetroPi games, I’ve set up for them…

    - all flavours of Mario
    - Mario Kart 64
    - Battle City
    - Arkanoid
    - Asterix & Obelix

    This feels nice!🥰

  8. #GoodMorning! I woke up with a weird feeling that I have to little time for passion projects in my life. In the last 2 weeks it’s been fun, attending to my #HomeLab, #SmartHome and #RetroPi

    It’s been paid with a broken rib pain, but it also felt good…

  9. Now the second controller is here and this time it’s the „used” one (first one was „exposition”). I’m laughing, because you couldn’t tell them apart, because both are in mint condition…😅

    What a bargain, 2 nice gamepads for half the price!😍

    #8BitDo #SN30Pro #RetroPi

  10. #GoodMorning! I had like 3-4 hours of sleep, because I’ve been configuring Playstation emulation in #RetroPi

    Managed to run #Tekken3, though, so there was some success…😅

    I need coffee…

  11. Damn… I’ve inadvertently updated #RetroPi on my #RaspberryPi4 and it’s been compiling shit for over an hour now…😅

  12. Now it’s kinda tempting to dive in into #ChronoTrigger again… But that game is massive and I don’t know if I wan’t to sink in it again…😅 #8BitDo #SN30Pro #RetroPi

  13. The first of the discounted #8BitDo #SN30Pro controllers is here. It’s been said to be an exposition unit, but I have no damn idea to what it has been exposed, because it looks freaking perfect…

    It’s also in a nice retro color scheme (G Classic) and it is perfect for those little hands that will use it with #RetroPi.

    Got it for half the price…🥰

    My only grieviance is with the fucking Raspbian/RetroPi for the bluetooth setup…🤣

  14. @odd imagens com som.

    Esse tá na lusta de jogos que quero pôr no meu #retropi

    Aceito lembranças de outros

  15. @PypeBros Nice. I played the NES version today on a #retropi. It's still hard af. Never played the C64 version.

  16. Hello retro-help!

    Anyone that could push me in the right direction with a small "just for fun" project?

    - According to the docs (retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Ins) not everything is installed. Is there any information, which emulators are coming with the default image? Or the other way around: how do I know, which Emulators are installed so that I can either add additional ones or know which ROMs I could play out of the box?

    - Roms... On Reddit there is a "megathread 4.0" which links to github. Github links to Myrient and the Internet Archive. I'm not sure.... everyone is talking about copyright: Are the Roms on Internet Archive or Myrient legal or not?

    Thanks.

  17. @draco A #retropi for retro gaming is fun. You can buy a preloaded mini sd card on eBay or Amazon specific to that pi model.

  18. #Retropi setup. Beat the first circuit of #Uniracers and the first world in #SuperMario.

    Fun stuff.

  19. Tonight's #Tedium has me thinking about a new project.

    Take a wood grained retro cable box and make it a #RaspberryPi case for a home media/gaming setup. Throw #Jellyfin in, maybe even #retropi, then gut an old VCR and turn it into a little homemade NAS.

    Have a retro look with today's technology

    If nothing else, looking at all that underneath the TV will bring back good memories of yesterday, when I was young.😂 #GenX

  20. You'd think after spending some money on PC mount and #UniFi #network I've had enough... Not even close!😆

    I'm now looking at #RaspberryPi #HAT #PoE extensions for both my "server" Pi 5 and 4B #RetroPi, so I can ditch 2 of those bulky power supplies...

    The money pit is truly bottomless, because the next idea is to buy a small rack enclosure, an old 1U server chassis and put that RPi 5 board in it, along with the network gear...😅

  21. Lazy Game Reviews #LGR just turned 15! His "birthday video" is a nice summary on the huge developments in #retrogaming during that period. Also, I appreciate that he pointed out how good #Linux has become (11:30), as it is really a significant driver of the success and growth of that scene.

  22. I dug out my RetroPi after having done a huge pi swap to get my cluster up and running. It’s been sitting in my network rack for two years. There were 360MB of updates including new Bluetooth, WiFi, OpenSSL, and a kernel.

    #RetroPi
    #Linux

  23. Home made touch screen computer, internal Raspberry Pi 4 running #RetroPi emulating #RetroGames with a connected #8BitDo arcade stick.

    Bliss.

    #RetroGaming

  24. @sleepybisexual if you are up for the tinkering, you could use a #raspberrypi with a small screen and a 3D-printed case to emulate older games. #retropi

  25. Why do you choose the Atari 2600 console over clones and emulators or vice versa?

    Do you feel like the Atari 2600 games should only be played like Bushnell and Dabeny meant them to be played?

    Or... Do you enjoy the thrill of playing games with graphics so basic, they make Minecraft look like a Pixar film? Is it the charming simplicity of titles like "Pong" and "Combat"!
