Just gets wearing on the forums when you have people asking how to start an amstrad game with a ps2 controller.

You mean retropie not retroarch never seen the point of turning a computer into a glorified console it can do so much more

 

Mine is a desktop gaming system and a Kodi box. it is worth getting the compile right it can run a lot

Yes. There's plenty of good stuff to talk about too though- it might not be the Raspberry pi itself but lots of people use the Ipac2 for wiring up genuine arcade buttons.

I use one and it's nice and simple. The guys that play a lot of Fruit Emus might be interested in this- you could esentialy take a button panel from a scrap fruit machine and wire it up to your pc or laptop via usb... using the switches in the buttons you wire it to the ipac2. Instead of pressing 1-2-3-4 to hold input on your keyboard for example, you push your genuine fruity buttons on your panel and the iPac sends 1-2-3-4 as key input. So instead of playing with a keyboard you have a proper fruity button interface to play with. You can make coin input buttons out of coin entry bezel or do what you like if you dont want to stop there.
