I was going to post a video but I finished the project so long ago that posted it. The main goal of the mods to the image was to prioritize 4-player games since the it’s dedicated to a 4 play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade 1-Up cabinet.
This image is based on the Wolfanoz 128GB RasPi3BPlus 4.4.8 image (its the most recent I could find). Here the changes I’ve made:
4.4.9
- Fixed the “out of space” issue by deleting some games. This issue prevents controllers from working consistently.
- Turned off bezels (overlays) in the RetroArch options since I’m still using the original Arcade 1-up monitor.
- Added theme from 90’s TNMT cartoon for the intro splash screen.
- Created a temp list of 4-play games (need to create a custom main list icon for it yet…) (update 2-19-2021 downloaded a nice list of 4-player/multiplayer games from here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4336/list-of-retro-games-for-4-players/4 – planning to use it to update my main multiplayer list in the image)
4.4.10
- Added some of the The 100 Greatest Video Game Soundtracks to the background music playlist… and a few hundred of my favorite chiptunes.
Notes:
Though fruitbox (RetroPie Jukebox) is installed it is not the background music player. Keep this in mind if you want to update the background music playlist.
When you wire the joysticks and buttons to the controller circuit board make sure they are all wired the same. While EmulationStation supports multiple controllers that are the same (e.g. “Generic USB Gaming Device” or “DragonRise Inc Generic USB joystick”) RetroArch does not. If you have different button layouts it will get messed up in game and once you exit game. RetroArch is the Frontend for the Libretro API and makes a up a large portion of the emulators included in RetroPie so if each controller has a different wiring configuration on the board or one of your joysticks is upside down your controllers won’t work properly.
