freewheel Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Is there a linux/unix 7800 emulator? I am only seeing Windows versions. I believe MESS, or components of MESS, were used to make a Linux 7800 emu. Plus someone ported ProSystem to Linux years ago, but it hasn't been updated in eons and I'm not sure just how stable/compatible it ended up being. There's definitely a Dingoo version as well, but I don't know what kind of work would be required to get it onto a Pi. Not a lot of help I realize. A lot of the lesser-known consoles have terrible Linux support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I won't lie, I haven't read all 11 pages here, so apologies if I've missed it - how did you hook up 20+ controllers to the Wii? Do you hardwire into Wiimotes or Gamecube controllers? i took a classic controller (not pro version cause it doesnt work right) i stripped it down and put it in a project box. It has two 9 pin and one 15 pin dsub connector on it. One of the 9 pin dsubs is wired to use the atari paddles. One of them is atari and master system compatible but wired up the other 2 wires to add select and start for controllers like nes. I wire up controllers like the 2 button turbo grafx, 3 button genesis and nes controllers etc. etc. I have a 15 pin port for controllers like super nes, neo geo (neo geo controllers work without modding) 6 button genesis, 6 button turbo grafx controllers etc. etc. I then wired those controllers with a 15 pin cable. This is a post i made when i first made it before modifying it more. I will show an updated pics when i get a chance. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/188365-my-wii2600-and-more-controller-mods/?hl=%2Bwii+%2Bcontroller+%2Bmods&do=findComment&comment=2407786 Edited January 25, 2015 by pimpmaul69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The install on the intellivision.us site is for version 2.3. I hope to have a version 2.4 soon with all the new folder structures. Since the RetroPie 2.4 beta image is a stripped down install and doesn't have a desktop interface to easily configure a wifi connection, how did you transfer files? Is that where your wpa_supplicant file comes into play, and if so, how do I use it to complete the network setup? Thanks for any help.

I did comment about it at the bottom of the webpage and provided a link for more information. The link Byte Knight provided is probably just as good. Connect first using a wired connection or edit the wpa_supplicant file. Mine is just a sample if you do not have any security on your router.

intvdave Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What about those Linux handhelds? Here is source for gp2x. http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/serendipity/index.php?/categories/44-Atari-7800 I have it on PSP, and GCW-Zero. I gave it a shot..not a good one..but did try compiling it. Honestly, I do not have the energy or desire to work through this one. I think the 5200 games are better than the 7800 games. Maybe someone else on here will try to get it to work or I will be bored some day and try again. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 2.3 wpa file is the same as 2.4. This has not changed. I just cloned what I had in 2.3 to my 2.4 image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as i put my old file back in it stopped losing the wifi configs. After four times of it losing the config i put my old one back on and it has worked fine since.

mthompson Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Does anyone know if the user or root accounts changed with v2.4.2? The Pi has a good connection to my wifi, but the user name "root" and password "raspberry" gets rejected when I try STPF access. I've also noticed that when I exit EmulationStation with an F4, the user in the command line is pi@retropie in v2.4.2, but it's pi@raspberrypi in 2.3.

Byte Knight Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 If you do your project like mine, here's a use for the leftover PCB - a portable Flashback. I bought a few parts from Radio Shack - a size M coaxial DC power jack and a couple of pushbuttons (although you only really need an on/off button since reset brings you back to the main menu). I got this case from Amazon. Now if only I had a 3D printer to print up a mini Intellivision II case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have time to test this but edit the file: /etc/hosts You will see: 127.0.1.1 retropie replace it with: 127.0.1.1 raspberrypi You may need to update the file: hostname located in the same folder. I did notice that my wifi was getting dropped but then it just started worked fine. Maybe a caching issue on my router?

pimpmaul69 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I did notice that my wifi was getting dropped but then it just started worked fine. Maybe a caching issue on my router?this is a problem with the polyfuse. There is a 750ma polyfuse that drops the voltage too low. Replace with a 1 amp polyfuse. Having less things plugged in will help too. That is why i wired mine to the gpio pin header instead of usb. Fixed the problem. Mthompson did the same and it fixed his wifi dropping issues as well. I know byte knight ended up doing it too, just not sure of how it worked out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Try running it at the command line. Did you fix the gamelist error?went to 2.4.2. Gamelist problems fixed. However dumping your coleco files still doesnt make coleco run. Are there other linux files we need? Mthompson had the same problem using your files. As a note i know it is finding the adam.sh file. Not sure if it is any good though Edited January 26, 2015 by pimpmaul69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then dump your old wpa supplicant folder on and all your old settings are setup and ready to ftp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Just to report back, I got it working. I found the WPA config file from my 2.3 install and typed in the settings on the 2.4.2 image. But I was still refused with an authentication error so I decided to try a new FTP client. FileZilla worked when I used port 22. Really odd that my other trusty FTP program (Fetch) won't work on the 2.4.2 image, but at least I can transfer files now. I've moved over the ColecoVision emulator folder, CV roms, and es_systems.cfg file and Boulderdash launched correctly. Thanks for all of the ideas. Much appreciated, really!

Much appreciated, really! right before starting a game i get on the screen it says "press x or m to configure adamem video settings" x does nothing. M brings up the video options but setting them or changing them does nothing for me EDIT: i was getting a quick flash telling me about adamem file permission denied. So i gave all permissions to all files in adamem folder and now it doesnt give the error anymore. Still not working. Reason i never saw error message about permission denied before is because 1920x1080 progressive cuts it off.

mthompson Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hmmm. The ColecoVision games start and play, but they don't quit properly once the game has been started, sort of like what happens with Stella and the Atari 2600 games. The emulator starts to quit but leaves 10 percent of the game screen's lower part and just sits there. But games will quit properly from the title screen if they haven't been played. Only resetting the Pi will clear it out. Oh well, this project is just one challenging puzzle after another. No real harm in that. These are bonus systems to get set up. The Intellivision games are my real priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 mthompson got the Coleco emulator to work so we know it works...if just kind of. I did test my image but starting fresh with 2.4.2 and copying all my files over and playing the emulators. The Colecovision emulator is configured to work with the Ultimate Interface. I understand some of you might just be copying files over. Maybe you can start with a fresh image and copy all the contents over with 7777 permissions. I use "root" to copy the files over. All I can say is that it works perfectly for me on my 1920x1080 tv. I used the adamem.sh because exiting the emulator was not returning to Emulation Station. Does anyone have a collection or games for Mame that works with the Raspberry emulator? I have games but so many of them do not work with the version of Mame in Retropie. My games work fine on my PC.

intvdave Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Try this. Open up /opt/retropie/emulators/adamem-1.80/adamem.cfg You will see a line that says: -video 2 Remove this line and see what happens to your video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
