trott Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Morning Guy`s, So I've downloaded the prebuilt RetroFE Pack 1.0 but I take it its not that prebuilt as it wont load so I'm guessing I need a settings.Conf to load? Does anyone have a settings config they can share and a nice step by step guide on setting this baby up? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Step 1: make sure you unpack ALL rar files in the collections. We had to pack up the files, since it was about 60k files...Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Step 2: Once it's up and running, consider installing the update from the Upload folder. It adds pre-configured emulators, and a few upgrades.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trott Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hi Phulshof, Thanks for the reply. I did manage to work out I needed to unpack the files in collections. I have also updated with the update pack. I'm loving this RetroFE with a passion. Next questions: 1. Do you need to use RL or an alternative? 2. Do you or anyone have the collection settings for the following systems: Amiga CD32 Atari 2600 Atari ST Commodore 64 Commodore Amiga Daphne Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Famicom Disk System Nintendo Super Famicom Sega CD Sega Dreamcast Sega Saturn Sega SC-3000 Sinclair ZX Spectrum SNK Neo Geo CD Sony PlayStation Many thanks Kev.

phulshof Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 1. I'm using Linux, so I don't use RocketLauncher nor an alternative; just straight up RetroFE.2. What type of settings are you looking for? Emulators? Launcher settings? Collection art? ...?Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 There's an Atari 2600 set in the WIP section. It's still lacking stories and player information, but in general it's quite usable.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trott Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Phulshof, Being a hyperspinner I do have all the emulators and art. I'm a windows 10 user but what works best? Do I need a launcher? and if so what's everyone using (non Linux) I'm looking for the collection settings for all the consoles I need. Cheers Kev.

phulshof Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 You don't really NEED RocketLauncher, but it provides some extra features like fading, bezels, etc.Some of the systems you mentioned can be emulated with MAME; I'm not familiar with the emulators needed for the other systems, but I'll be glad to help you sort it out. If you know how you launch them from HyperSpin or the command line, I can help you with the RetroFE launcher.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trott Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'm currently building a custom console. I'm 3D printing a japanese famicom and planning on using the FC30 8bitdo controllers. Machine spec: 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 6600T processor, M.2 128GB SATA Solid State Drive, 2TB SATA 3 6gb, 8gb ddr4 2133mhz Memory, Intel HD. So if I can use RetroFE with Linux with all the consoles i want without the need of another launcher I'm happy to go Linux route. Is this something you could help with? Cheers Kev.

phulshof Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Not sure all those systems you have up there have Linux emulators, but most do. I can certainly help you set it up though.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trott Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi phulshof, Ive been doing some research and it look like Retroarch maybe what I'm looking for and seems to be able to support most if not all the consoles I want to use. Would you be able to help set this up with RetroFE? Cheers Kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Never really used it, but I'm willing to take a look. Personally, I use MAME for most of my emulated systems.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progets Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 RetroArch is very nice and it's an easy way to to emulate most/all of your systems. Set the controls and your paths once and you're good across all the different platforms. I do like MAME a lot and use it for my arcade games. It can emulate many consoles now but not as well as RetroArch IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I see you've found your way to the RetroFE forums as well. :) Hopefully the answers there will help you get everything set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDindon Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hey, I've dled the 1.0 + 1.1 update, that's very cool ! I'm trying to figure out how to set the .conf files to use with Retroarch too. (don't really know what the command line must look like ; I know it should be something like : retroarch -L "core path corename.dll" "game.rom") Retroarch is a must have for using old school console emulators on a HD 16/9 modern TV ; the opengl shaders (geom, lottes) are beatiful. For arcade games, Mame is still the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
