RETROARCH - The all-in-one emulator dreams are made of, son

Excellent. Any chance of xbmc add-on builds being supported (OpenElec)?

I updated to 1.0.3 and now the Xbox button in the middle of the 360 pad no longer brings up the menu, is that something I have to turn on?

I was just going to ask about this, thanks!
Some other bugs I've noticed:
The lakka gui does not work, crashes RetroArch immediately on startup. Had to delete my config file and set it up all over again, still using rgui.
PPSSPP core says there is a file missing called ppage...something (dont remember off the top of my head), but if you press enter the rom still loads.
Can't play any games using Mednafen PSX, retroarch crashes as soon as I select a bin or cue file.
Using Windows 64 bit version
Windows 8.1, latest updates installed
SLI GeForce GTX670's with the latest driver
Core i7 940 OC'ed @ 3.6ghz
Wireless Xbox 360 Controllers

I am using the Dualshock 4 under OSX, the Controller works fine over USB and Bluetooth , except the D-Pad. The D-Pad Inputs are not recognised.
The XMB by the way is great, interesting what a different appearance can make of a difference in usability. Thank you for the work.

Lakka has been replaced by xmb. I've disabled lakka for the upcomimg nightlies.
For ppsspp indeed you need that file. And for mednafen. Check the core information panel for the requirequired bioa
Are you using auto detection or manually mapped inputs?
Mr. Return

I tried both.
Yep, it's the bg.png file in "assets/lakka/monocrome/256/". I edited out the orange lines and some alpha from a different background I found elsewhere in assets and am using that for xmb:
Here's a link to that background if you want to use it.
Yeah. Theyre all in that folder - its completely customisable
Its amazing. Wow.
My media centre PC is now legit amazing

It's still a very early version, it should end up looking a lot more like LAKKA
I still like RGUI or GLUI best

Make sure you have the correct BIOS and that your CUE sheet is correct. Many images have bogus CUE sheets

You can grab PPGE_ATLAS.ZIP and the required fonts from the official PPSSPP package I guess. I may include those in the system folder later.
What do I need to use a DS4 on OSX? I can test this
So putzing around and I have made this border for Gameboy emulation (Which is to say I used This Borderpack for BGB) and I'm wondering if someone couldn't help me find the Gameboy Player GBASP Border so I can do simmialr for GBA Emualtion.
The Border itself

Just connect the pad trough USB or pair it over bluetooth. Dualshock 3+4 is supported since OSX 10.9. Here you find more information:

Looks like I had the wrong BIOS, using scph1001. Thanks!

I only have mountain lion on my hackintosh so my testing will be irrelevant for your problem
Problem with that for me is the text size, considering I've got a living room HDTV setup.

No problem, will map the buttons trough a app until the problem is fixed one day.
I believe Lord Ashram did that:

The Linux build, no?
Yeah i noitced that after i typed the above, lol
But im unable to get it to work in XBMC, when i click on the 'install from zip file' option which u usually do to install programs the file doesnt even show up in the folder ive placed it in. I have even made it a zip file but says that its an unsupported install file and has missing files

Classic Controller USB adapter turned up! Shit's gonna be goooood.
As an aside, what's the best portable device for SNES emulation? People say "Use a PSP!", but that SUCKS at SNES. Frameskips needed on Mario World? Get lost.
Ideally it should be able to run Retroarch with the BSNES core (doesn't need to be the accuracy one) and have its own controller built in. Like the GCW Zero, but actually good.

I quite enjoy playing snes games on my iPad. One of the cores can even speed up SuperFX games. Paired with the Classic Controller it's like having a little tv on my lap.

A high-end 2014 phone with a Moga Hero attached?
no D-Pad though.
I have one of these:
works brilliantly with my Sony xperia Z2 and retroarch.

Can you tell me how? I'm sure it's a simple setting I'm missing in RGUI...
Why would you do that?

No, the Hero has a D-Pad:
Ohh, that looks good.
The one I found on Amazon didn't have a dpad. Weird.

The first generation Moga just has two sticks and requires an awkward third-party driver to work with normal apps. The Hero is much better.

Legend of Zelda A Link to The Past with CD Quality sound, didn't know how to make this work but it was surprisingly easy.

I think this is awesome, but the music is also way too loud in the mix.

Original form. All the way.
The mod is amazing technically, but the music choices suck. Some tracks are outright terrible remakes and others, such as the few from link between worlds, are line audio rips with the original sound effect of link ealking into the room at the start!!
Try it afterwards as a curiosity. It would fuck up your first playthrough of a masterpiece.

Yep. Its an amazing soundtrack and should be heard as intended, at least to begin with.
Also goddamn I envy you. Playing through ALTTP as a kid for the first time twenty years ago is a glorious memory. I want to play it for the first time again.
