You can also do a reboot from RetroPie setup. I also used it to go into RetroPie setup, then into configuration and have emulationstation autolaunch at boot-up. From here you can launch traditional raspi-config. The RetroPie configuration shows up from the main screen when you hit the down arrow key or something like that, then A. For instance I program for an NES controller at home, and bring it to school where there is a cool two-player arcade-style controller which will have to be re-mapped. The main thing to do from the emulationstation menu, which is launched by clicking Start from the main emulationstation screen, is to map the controller keys. There are two main places where you do some configuration. Although it’s specific to their Xtension console it looks to me applicable to any similar console: I find the documentation available on the Internet on this particular topic is terrible.

How to configure two player setup when you have an arcade-style console with only one USB connection Two player arcade quality controller from Recroommasters. This pair of USB controllers I am told are a good approximation of the real thing. I went with NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) games. The Pi has enough juice to power them, which is convenient. They have a standard mini-stereo jack that is compatible with the Pi. These $15 speakers only use the USB port for power. In the end I like this method of installation the best. You should be comfortable with the linux command line. The instructions for installing RetroPie on top of an existing Raspbian installation are here:
Then I re-installed xserver-xorg-legacy and startx once again worked. (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 2 (Permission denied) Then I installed RetroPie, turned it off so it does not autostart, and tried startx from a non-console terminal and I see this error:
These two commands still didn’t do the trick, so I edited this fileĪnd replaced allowed_user=console with allowed_users=anybody, and that worked! Once. I’m having trouble running startx from a non-console terminal.

Sudo apt install lxde lxde-core lxterminal lxappearanceīut one of my games didn’t run properly afterwards, so I am focused on method 2) for now. This takes a long time, maybe 30 minutes: The reason we want X is to run a presentation software such as pipresents, which we are already familiar with.įor approach 1) I roughly followed this installation order. In addition to the arcade function, we wanted to display a slidedeck when not being used for gaming.Ģ) install Raspbian, then install RetroPie on top of that I am not going to attempt to provide a guide as there are much better guides out there than anything I can produce.
