#RetroPi

My old Radio Shack DVM displays "Shrt" for short circuit in continuity test mode. In this case I read it as 'Shit', because I somehow managed to fry this Raspberry Pi as I was trying to shoehorn it into one of those cheapo Walmart GoGamer handheld cases. I was 90% done but I think it must have gotten some wire trims on the bench stuck in it somewhere. Sloppy work on my part, my bad.

* Un RetroPie armado con una Raspberry Pi 3 con su case de Super Nintendo.

* Un Nintendo 64 modificado con mod HDMI, controles inalámbricos y un cartucho que es un lector SD para cargar juegos.

*Un GameCube con mod PicoBoot, que también corre sus juegos desde un disco SD.

Y sí... el N64 y el GameCube tienen carcasas fosforescentes ¡para que se note que están bien pimpeados! 😎💚💜

que tipo de música vc ouve mais?

Eu escuto de tudo um pouco em questão de música eu sou bem eclético exemplo as 9 músicas mais recentes do meu músicas curtidas

E a minha musica favorita de todos os tempos é Sh-Boom pelos The Chords

Going to kiss my Raspberry pi for spending more time installing more things onto it than actually playing games on it as an apology.

I love you, bbp, but I need to install Ship of Harkinian onto anything with a screen.

Currently watching a japanese playthru of the game, but im only half paying attention uwu

This is really impressive. Dude basically built an entire retro-style cable TV network into a raspberry pi. It handles everything: proper scheduling, channel guides, ad breaks, station IDs, the whole shebang.

Not only that, but he built it with such specificity that you can have not only seasonal programming (sports at certain times of years, or holiday movies), but even content-appropriate ads: beer commercials during football, or 1-900 numbers during late night programming. He also mentions setting up several cartoon channels that either switch to retro syndicated TV (Nick at Nite) or adult oriented cartoons (Adult Swim) after 6pm.

A RetroPi for emulators is interesting but I feel like if I ever get a Raspberry Pi, I'd want to do something like this with it. I'm just left wondering:

Are all channels simultaneously active all the time? I suppose if you're stringent about everything being a specific length (for scheduling) it wouldn't be that hard to just calculate how far past the hour you were and join a program already in progress, I'm mainly just worried about how often this thing is hitting the SD card and whether too many channels could overload the Pi.

I feel like adbreaks are going to be the biggest problem. Going by the video, it looks like ad breaks are evenly spaced out and probably completely automated. That's not always how TV was structured, and I worry it could splice in an ad break in the middle of dialog or an important scene. If it were me, I'd probably set a "we need a commercial break" flag and look for when a show goes quiet and fades to black for longer than, I dunno, half a second.

The github page implies that it does kind of pick shows at random. I'm sure if he built in specific times of day and seasonal content you could just build out detailed programming blocks (X-Files on Friday night at 8pm, every Friday) but I wonder how much randomness is built into this system. From a structure standpoint it feels like it would be easy to throw an entire series at this thing and have it build out specific time slots and rotate through programming, in order, automatically. Maybe it does, if he has a guide channel, since it would have to know what's coming up next. I just don't want things playing out of order.

It's stressed that this is still early yet, and not exactly user friendly to set up, but man. I am fascinated and want one really badly now.

My dad is doin stuff to my retropie :0 idk whats happening lol but its in relation to getting psp games onto it hehe

Dex!

Icons I did for a retropi theme. The bunny girl versions

A funny bunnygirl character I made for the main screens along with half of the consoles.

I spent over 100 hours over the course of 3 weeks building a RetroPie Emulator Box on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ as a Christmas gift for my brother in law. Either earlier today or yesterday it was basically perfect and just needed some polish, but I had to get too ambitious. I wanted to get it running Nintendo 64 and Sega CD games, so I needed a controller with more buttons, so I started messing with connecting an XBOX One and Switch Pro controller via Bluetooth and still never got N64 games emulating properly.

But SOMEWHERE along the way I FUCKED up the controller mapping for the 8bitdo Arcade stick with some (but not all!) of the Fighting arcade games running in mame2003-plus WHICH WAS THE WHOLE POINT NO ONE CARES ABOUT NINTENDO 64 WHEN THERE'S AN ARCADE EMULATOR!

Anyways it just became Christmas like the hour rolled over to midnight 00:00 Christmas Day and I'm going to attempt to rebuild 3 weeks worth of work in 8 hours with a fresh RetroPie image but I already have all the scraped video previews and gamelists backed up so... it should be doable. We shall see.

Its been a while since i been here lol

Anyways GUESS WHO GOT 5K ON YOUTUBE ME and also like 500k on tiktok and 200k on instagram but eh theyre not youtube.

Also twitter was banned in my country that sucks i loved looking at art there so thats why i came back to here its the closest to the content i liked in that platform

Cherry Pie Cookie

fanart for my dear precious Retropie(pie_retro on Twitter), I think mostly of you guys here won't know him? he is a sweetie pie(and hot as fuck) little content creator, he mostly cosplays and dances on TikTok but he also livestreams sometimes on twitch, he seems to be trying out a little bit of everything at once, kinda desperate tbh.. but I love him for it<33

but idk I just..I just find him so SO hot.. so I tried drawing him as a Cookie, cause his hole thing/mascot is a Pie.. yknow that's.. Retro hence the name lol,

in my World he'd be Cherry Pie Cookie, I drew this on my phone on IbisPaintX, it took like 2 hours for both of the drawings but it all went so fast I think I was having fun.. i already showed it to him on Twitter and he loved it so it was worth it<333

this is his original pfp, just to compare to the version I redrew

ALSO here is a uuh little compilation thing of all inspirations I took to draw him, there is no watermark cause I thought it'd disrupt the already messy flow of this.. soo.. I just hope that no one tries to steal it..
