A fantastic tutorial! I have just recently converted an iCade and was trying to get my pi 2B working with it, but it was doing all kinds of weird things, especially around not saving the control setups, had me pulling my hair out so I figured a fresh install would be best. I followed your directions and it was fast and easy, and all of the problems with pi not liking my arcade stick in the iCade are gone. Thanks again for a nice up to date step by step tutorial!
speaking of retro games, I still remember being blown away by Atic Atac - the smoothness and speed of the game. Even the colour clashes were great! Absolutely incredible what was done with just 48K.
Everyone knows how to copy other people's content trying to make money on you tube. Thank you so much for explaining in detail!! All them other guys with their crappy videos obviously missed yours or they all would of copied it instead of the minute crap videos they all uploaded
Great video. Really helpful thank you. I found a simpler way of accessing the pi on the pc. Just go to start and run then type \ etropie which opens the pi in explorer. Can just drag and drop stuff from there
@@BytesNBits I have weird issue where the bottom half of the screen will flicker while I am moving fast in super Mario bros on nes .... and also super Mario sometimes completely disappears. any ideas?
@@albinorhino8542 Hi. That's really strange. In Raspi-config run the update to latest version option and then try again. The country code should be the first thing it asks you when you try to set up the wireless connection.
Help please I don't have a gaming controller only keyboard so after that controller configuration page it's not proceeding but just going back to command line
Instead of holding down buttons on the controller just hold down keys on the keyboard. It will then allow you to map keys on the keyboard as the buttons on the controller. Hope this helps.
great video subbed and liked, only had one issue and that was with windows, I couldnt map the network drive windows couldn't access it, however I found a work around by typing my ip address into the address bar in file explorer then right clicking on the roms folder and manually mapping the folder, hope it helps for anyone having issue with windows >_
so i used a usb that i thought was 10g was only .5g. The file transfer is taking forever. Can i just reformat a new usb drive and do the same type of transfer?
Not with RetroPie. That's just for a Raspberry Pi setup. Have a look at my Batocera video ua-cam.com/video/28NI_I6ICx0/v-deo.html or RetroBat ua-cam.com/video/JAdsGIiv6Fk/v-deo.html
Please help. 2nd game controller was setup but does not work when in 2 player mode. When 2 player is up, the controller that will only work is the 1st controller.
If you're playing MAME arcade games you need to set up the controller mapping in MAME as well. Press your TAB key and you'll get to the menu. Then set up the player 2 controls and map them to your controller.
@@BytesNBits I do have another question. I downloaded the Atari pack like u showed. Several games don’t work. When it downloaded there were 2 files. I unzipped the file and added them ssh to pi. Do I have to also put emuparadise.download.user file in Atari folder also. Is this the reason some don’t work?
@@brianm4760 Hi. The all in one packs are great for getting all the games onto your system but a few files use the wrong versions of games. The easiest way is to download individual replacements for the ones that don't work.
You're right that in some cases input lag can be a problem. The Retropie docs give a few ways to combat this. Have a look at retropie.org.uk/docs/Input-Lag/.

Hi. No problem. Glad it got you sorted out!
Super super great tutorial, as soon as I can get me one I'm going to do this project. Thankyou for making this video
You are welcome!
Everything that you need to know. To the point and well presented. Thanks for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi. I know what you mean. Some of the games really pushed the limits of the old 8 bit computers. But they were some of the best playing games ever.

Thanks for your support. I did want to make my videos explain what was going on rather than just showcase my code.
Great video. Really helpful thank you. I found a simpler way of accessing the pi on the pc. Just go to start and run then type \
etropie which opens the pi in explorer. Can just drag and drop stuff from there
Great tip, thanks. Works great!
Thanks for the post 📯
You're welcome
Thank you for this video. It helped a lot :)
You're welcome!
hoy lo probé y funciono perfectamente 🤘muchas gracias.
Glad you found it useful.
Thanks! Very helpful
No problem. Hope you got it working.
@@BytesNBits I have weird issue where the bottom half of the screen will flicker while I am moving fast in super Mario bros on nes .... and also super Mario sometimes completely disappears. any ideas?
@@ydimitrushev I'd try using a different core for your NES emulation.
Very Good. Thank you.
You're welcome
It never goes to the configure game pad screen. Just black screen and nothing happens?
I'd try re flashing your SD card and starting again.
New video? Nice
Hi, Thanks. Hope you enjoy it!
What‘s the name of the game at 0:07?
Hi. Scramble. Great game!
It won’t let me connect to wifi because I have to set a country, but it also won’t let me set a country
Did you go through the Raspi-config console app?
@@BytesNBits yes

Hi. Thanks for the tip. The Samba share doesn't always show up under its hostname.
@@BytesNBits no worries at all thanks for letting me relive my childhood memories takes me back 😆
so i used a usb that i thought was 10g was only .5g. The file transfer is taking forever. Can i just reformat a new usb drive and do the same type of transfer?
Yes. As long as you make the files available it will work.
Thoughts on getting a snes controller, or any, from aliexpress?
I got a cheap USB clone version from The Pi Hut in the UK. It works well.
Can't we do this in laptop,
Not with RetroPie. That's just for a Raspberry Pi setup. Have a look at my Batocera video ua-cam.com/video/28NI_I6ICx0/v-deo.html or RetroBat ua-cam.com/video/JAdsGIiv6Fk/v-deo.html
Why didn't this video pop up when I needed to do this myself ugh
We'll get further up the results pages as we grow. Thanks.

@@BytesNBits Yes, I am playing mame-libretto, I will try this and will let you know. Thank you for the prompt response.
@@BytesNBits I mapped the 2nd controller and still not working. the 2nd controller works on other games except for galaga and galaxian...
@@adamasonyx Are you sure galaga and galaxian support two control sets? Soem games have a two player option but only use one set of controls.
@@BytesNBits i dont know how to check for 2 player support. Thank you for replying thou.
👍👋
I'm too late. Repo is nowhere to be found :(
Hi. Which repo do you mean? Have a look at the project page in the description for links.
Where is the vid on how to use tampermonky
Hi. I think someone reported my channel to UA-cam for promoting rom downloads so I got a warning. I've had to remove the Emuparadise videos. Shame :(
I did find it though. Works like a charm. Thank u

where is the github link
Hi. You need to go to the project page on my website for more info. UA-cam doesn't like it when you promote downloading game roms.
ON PI 3 ....not for PI 4 ....
The Pi4 and Pi5 setup should be fairly similar. I guess I'll need to look at updating this video.
I'd prefer batocera over retropie.
why
@@ApexArtistX more user friendly..the menu looks a lot better.
Reropie is not as user friendly as Batocera
Hi. Batocera is a great alternative. I'll have to cover that in another video.
