Raspberry Pi 3 Image

[nitrogen_widget]

I just got a yellow square which supposedly means cpu throttling because of thermal limitations. I did use make -j4 to release the hounds but this is just silly. I even have heat sinks, so why have you forsaken me pi.

I thought it was for not enough power.
I got heatsinks also.
need to install them I guess.

well if this ffmpeg doesn't pan out i'm going to direct my attention to creating a 3rd partition on the SDcard and moving home to it and var then making the rest of the system read only.
I found some scripts that will let me toggle it from RO to RW whenever I need.


oh and i got a gert vga board. wondering if attract mode would let me use two monitors on the rpi.

Yeah, this was definitely a heat problem. I actually started getting worried because there was no activity. So, I went and grabbed a fan and almost immediately the light started to fade out. Probably, took about a minute to finally go out.

That said, it didn't matter anyway. Because, I screwed up with some of the configure flags again, sigh... 

Seems like "'--enable-hwaccel=264_mmal" isn't recognized. So,  I'm hoping --enable-mmal and --enable-libx264 will do the trick for HWaccel.

nitrogen widget, thanks for making this image. Huge time saver. I got 1/2 way through installing stuff manually on my Pi 3 last night, then found this. Installed this tonight and just downloaded all the binaries through the retropie script. Now to populate the rom directories and configure my controls.

[omegaman]

I'm going to pre-configure all the libretro cores, so its ready just to take all the roms. I'll also preset shaders - I'd usually use overlays, but given the likely wide variety of resolutions used in AM builds its probably a better bet to run with the davej shader. I also need to work out why my keyboard stops working after a couple of minutes if I boot directly into AM. I might also tweak my video overlay tool to be geared for AM, so more shaders. https://github.com/biscuits99/rp-video-manager

I'll also add more layouts, although I havent found one I like more than robospin yet.

I'm very new to AM, but loving it as a very comprehensive FE for arcade setups. Has a fantastic community as well.

I picked up another sd card to try your method and it's great. Definitely, saves a lot of time setting up of the emulators.

If anyone is interested in testing the pre-release of robospin on the pi, you can download here:

You can enable pan-and-scan by selecting it as a background. Thanks...

Bundling this as the default layout in my next build this weekend. Its amazing!

Thanks for sharing this! Now I need to get a raspberry pi 3...

Floob, which of retroarches 5 config files did you change to get the RPI shaders to run?

[omegaman]

Floob-

An awesome contribution man. This exceeds all expectations, and these extra goodies you added is icing on the cake. 

I split your post out to make a sticky for your image.

Ah - that explains it, I was confused where that went, haha
Thanks very much! Hopefully that will make it easier for people with a Pi (It should work fine on a Pi2 and Pi3) to get up and running with Attract Mode.

Would it be possible to link to that sticky here?

I've had a lot of feedback about the layout used on the video showing the 0.2 image, people are loving that style of layout, and hopefully they will see how easily AM allows users to flip between layouts.
I'm very new to AM, and trying to get my head around it all at the moment, so any recommendations of tweaks are much appreciated.

I'm very tempted to make a custom build specifically for the Picade:

Does anyone know the legality of distributing artwork? For example images sourced from here?

Floob, which of retroarches 5 config files did you change to get the RPI shaders to run?

Please check this one:
/opt/retropie/configs/{systemname}/retroarch.cfg

I make a very brief reference to shaders in the readme.txt file in that build. I have also installed and used a slightly newer version of the davej shader. Remember, this has a lot of tweakable options such as curvature effect and changing the style of scanlines.

Please just let me know if you want to know anymore about the config file setup. I have made a very long and boring video of it here (slightly dated):

I'll pass it up to raygun.

@Floobs thanks for the image compiling and vids. I have couple issues

1. the screen is butted far left of my screen the menu screen a sseen in picture below when emulator is run it centers



2. how can I expand teh size of my games tried it in the retroarch.cfg but won't change size.



3. wireless xbox360 controller do I also need to config within AM as well I have config it via emulation station

[omegaman]

Omamez-

Attract has its own control mappings. Here's how, while attract is running hit the tab key, now select controls. Assign your prefered controller mappings.

As for your video issue. Try turning off overscan by editing the /boot/config.txt by using the cmd below: 

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

uncomment or add this line

disable_overscan=0

now save by hitting ctrl x,  then y to save

1:
I'm not too clear on the issue here? If its an overscan issue, check this link for overscan settings to change: http://elinux.org/RPiconfig


2:
I have set the aspect ratio in the retroarch files. You can edit/remove this if you alter this file/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg


3:
No, if you configure it in Emulation Station first, AM will pickup that controller file as long as it is for a RetroArch based emulator/games.You can see your controller files (RetroArch based) in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/If you mean get it to use the AM interface, then do as omegaman has mentioned above.
