Nintendo releases NES mini

up, up, down, down, B, A, start

Which begs to question, does the Konami code work on the NES Classic?

On the NES, not much. It worked for the Gradius series (of which Lifeforce belonged), the Contra series, TMNT 2 & 3, Gyruss, Top Gun 2nd Mission, and an NBA game.

Here is the fix to the short cord ... a wireless adapter

My Raspberry 3 has really scratched the itch. I will buy this thing whenever I can just waltz in and buy it.

Ok ... my usb micro SD card drive was defective. Got Retropie to download via another adapter.

The British guy in the videos. I know he is really trying to be helpful, but I want to fly to England and kick him in the nuts.

ROMS. the fucking ROMS. How do they work??? Speak English, motherfucker!

Have you had any luck? I have mine fully functional now connected to wifi, 2 bluetooth NES30 controllers and all my ROMS in the and scraped. A couple unimportant things I cant do yet that I need to learn, like manually editing game metadata and getting Sega CD games to work.
Getting the ROMS and getting them to work was really easy. Where are you running into trouble?

Ah, OK.

Just google it. This seems like a good site with a lot of titles and good, working ROMs. They also have ROM packs. If you google ROM packs, you can find torrents as well.

Just follow the download links and organize them in your own folders on your CPU. Some may require unzipping.

The Emulators are built right into the Retropie System. To put your roms onto your Raspberry, follow the instructions at about 13:30 of the video. Have your USB Thumbdrive cleared (not sure if you need it formatted to FAT32, I forgot). Create a Folder called Retropie. Eject it, plug it into the Raspberry, let the lights do their thing, after a little while, take it out, plug it back into your CPU and you will see the ROMs folder, and inside there you see each system. Place the ROMs into the corresponding folder. (Genesis is Megadrive). When you are done, eject your retropie, plug it into the Raspberry again. Let the games to get sucked in, and they will be playable after you restart your system.

Scraping is... how the game shows the information, like at 3:25 of that second video. The game box, rating, release date, description, correct title, etc... Scraping is the word for taking the info from Thegamesdb and saving it onto your system.
If you are connected to the internet via wifi or direct line... there is a bulk scraper

There is also an option to scrape manually from the main interface. Press start and it is one of the options. It is slow, but it is necessary to capture so info that the bulk scraper may have missed.

Without scraping, your list of games will probably just show the filename (such as Bubble Bobble (U) ! NES or something like that) with no box or description. It is fine, but aesthetically, it is nice having the bells and whistles.
