Playing a lot of Crusader Kings 2

@squee: how much of a hassle was it setting up the emulators and installing the roms? I think I need to do this shit if it doesn't involve constant fiddling about with setting and ssh commands.

Download the EmulationStation sdcard image and burn that on the card and you're pretty much good to go (aside from copying the roms which I just FTPd across)- https://retropie.org.uk/download/

Yeah, what mcbpete said. All the guides I found online were 18 minute long YouTube videos, but it took me more or less 5 minutes to set the whole thing up.

 

You'll be needing the following:

- Raspberry Pi 3 with built-in wifi.

- Power adapter.

- A controller

- A micro SD card (64gb)

- A case

 

Insert the micro SD card into the SD card adapter, plug it into your computer.

Download ApplePi Baker (don't know what the PC version is called), format the micro SD card, download the RetroPie image, burn it to the SD card, and then plug the micro SD card into the Raspberry Pi.

 

From there you'll need to set it up which is pretty straight forward and you'll need to get it online as well. All of this is pretty easy.

 

Then download Cyberduck or whatever FTP client you want to use and have it look for an SFTP server. The username will be "pi" and the password will be "raspberry". And that's it. Start downloading your ROMs and then transfer them via Cyberduck.

Quick note: Everytime you've transfered a new game you'll have to reset Emulation Station.

Oh, and before you start setting up your controller you should have a look at the control schemes on RetroPie's website. The thing is, if you use an Xbox Controller the whole thing is a bit backwards...

See what I mean?

Haha, that's just weird. You can edit the controller setup right? Edited September 12, 2016 by Gocab

Absolutely!

To be fair I think it might've been to match the Snes button config/positions:

lol holy moly, all this time and the game still has issues?

 

I have a horrible feeling this will be another big disappointment, no way a game's design is going to be healthy after ~9 years in development.

Oh no - That's cutting things very close to missing the Christmas sales period. Happy they actually care about bug fixing though instead of blindly putting out bug-fuelled messes a la other AAA publishers.

Yeah, I've been meaning to buy the SNES USB controller

beat Doom singleplayer. 13 hours felt somewhat short but that's probably just the style of play with something like this. I liked it, good old-fashioned shootinz. also the multiplayer seems good so far as well, and I've really missed a fast-paced multi shooter with classic heritage.

 

edit: it's lame that you have to restart to go into multi though

 

I've been playing Doom since it came out and I still haven't finished it. I don't know if it's because I'm playing on the hardest available difficulty and because I'm playing on console... or if I just suck at Doom?

 

Anyway, I've bought a Raspberry Pi and installed RetroPie on it so yesterday my friends and I were playing a bunch of old NES, SNES, N64 Dreamcast, PS1, and DOS games. Pure nostalgia.

 

How well did the PS1 games run on the Pi3?

They run almost perfectly! Actually, Silent Hill seems to run better than I remember it doing on the PS1. The N64 games are a bit more wonky. Goldeneye was a jittery mess.

That's good to know - I keep putting my RetroPie project on the side. Perhaps later this year when everything's calmed down a bit, I can finally focus on this.

every ps1 game i bothered to boot on my pi2 ran fine or better than the ps1 (as far as i remember). i was mostly playing wipeout3 which would be unplayable with slowdown/glitching. luckily there was none. main reason i'd want to upgrade to a pi3 is built in wifi/bt. using the dongles and taking up your limited usb ports and then just setting them up on a pi 2 was a terrible pain =\

It needs to come with graph paper, do you know how tough it is to find graph paper if you're not on a school campus? My engineering dept. had jack shit, and I had to import it from Amazon, lol

LOL WUT - an engineering department that doesn't have graph paper? That's like a culinary school with no parchment paper.

Can't you find it at Staples?

Also, it sounds like I'll need to be buying an XBone.

Nobody here playing Reigns ? Best fun I had on my phone for a while, very challenging and well written ! They're really playing on the "Tinderification" of our society and it works so good.

 

You can get it either on phone or Steam for roughly 3€ and it's definitely worth it !
