Title: Pi project, almost done, last few bits I need help with.
Post by: tony.silveira on March 13, 2015, 02:33:33 am

Hi all,

I am LOVING my Pi running emulation station and have everything set up almost completely, with these last few exceptions. If anyone has any hints, I would appreciate any feedback:

1. mame – i can’t get select + start (360 pad) to exit the emulator. I tried even setting the exit command to select + h0down (select + digital pad down) but no luck. I think i am confused on what tetrarch.cfg file to edit.

2. final burn alpha, would love to have this running as a home system instead of arcade, any way to switch?

3. ScummVM, same as #1, can’t get select + start to exit. I would like to make my GLOBAL exit command select + h0down if possible. Even left button + h0down would be great.

4. is there anyway to get the emulators to quit quietly? meaning, when i exit an emu to go back to emulation station, there is a bit of linux text visible. anyway not to have this show?

5. when exiting just about any emulator, the text gives me a couple of warnings that I would like to get rid of, they are:

“Frontend supports RGB565 – will use that instead of XRGB1555″ and

“RetroArch [WARN] :: gl_glsl_init :: [GL]: Stock GLSL shaders will be used

If I could get all of the above taken care of, I’d be 100%.

Any help is appreciated and thanks!

P.S. I am building a self contained unit in a WD "my book" hard drive enclosure, just about done in fact.

Are you using retropie or rolling your own setup?

RetroPie.  I am completely new to linux and went with the "off the shelf" set up.  i've learned a lot but still way green.

I'd like to see a pic of the enclosure when you get it wrapped up.
