The Softwareownload RetroPie 3.5 SD-card image for Raspberry Pi 2 (latest version as of February 10, 2016) from the RetroPie web site. There are different versions for different Pi models. SOLVED: In case anyone stumbles on this post after googling for their own solution, the problem was that I was not using "no-intro" roms. Got my Raspberry Pi 3 in today and decided to show off the much improved Dreamcast Emulation. The Bootberry Version is offered in case you would like to have a multi-boot Pi that multi-boots various operating systems similar to GRUB on a computer. I can exit the emulator with my designated button combo.Įdit: I actually had 3.8.1 installed all along. It boots up, and gets to the controller configuration screen. I've been using it without issue on my Pi2 and previous versions of Retropie. I'm using an official wired PS3 controller until the native Bluetooth gets sorted out.
How to set up retropie 3.6 raspberry pi 3 install#
With some games the little four colored logo in the upper right hand corner of the screen will pulse like the system is thinking and the screen will slightly pulse with it, but the rom never runs. Since its been a while and I have a brand new Pi, I did a complete fresh install of Retropie 3.6. When I launch an SNES rom, I get the expected initial message 'Launching X rom, press something to configure, etc', then I see my gamepads identified in the lower lefthand corner of the screen. Everything else seems to work just as before, with a bit of performance bump. Copied all of my roms over and was disappointed to find that none of the SNES roms will launch. Just recently upgraded to a Pi 3 and updated Retropie to version 3.6.
SNES, NES, N64 all worked fine for the most part. I had been using a raspberry pi 2 running a slightly earlier version of retropie for about 6 months.
