Addyb's raspberry pi retro game machine build

Did it detect the controllers on boot up? Are they wired or wireless?

dr no

I reconnected the controllers in what I suppose are ports 1 and 2 and restarted it. And this time it's seems to have worked!!

Kids are playing Final Fight arcade. Simple but great fun.
The coins I wasted on that coin op !

addyb

Yeah it's a quality beat em up. Hard as hell to make progress without pumping lots of quids in lol

You guys should try Vendetta aka Crime Fighters 2 by Konami, also Cadillacs and Dinosars, Aliens vs Predator and The Punisher by Capcom

Punisher might be the best walk along beat em up of all time, Final Fight and Segas SOR 2 and 3 are up obviously up there too.

Love them all, nothing better than sitting on the sofa with a mate chucking in loads of virtual coins into Mame until you either clock the game or get bored

Yeah I've finished the punisher and cadillacs. Great games. I've been playing the streets of rage remake which is the definitive version and it's great. Tough to complete though.

Once you power off the Pi, how do you wake it up again?
Wired controllers don't appear to do anything nor the wireless keyboard. Again I'm having to pull the power out and then in to start it off.

addyb

I have to do the same mate. I'm not aware of another way.
