![]() Sections of this article expand upon my previous guide: Multipurpose Raspberry Pi: Installing a Media, Gaming, PC Replacement Topics Covered Whilst the new (at time of writing) version 4.0 DEV allows far more control over the setup and maintenance of RetroPie, it necessarily appears a little more complex than before in this guide I illustrate the revised layout. How-to Guide: Manually Installing RetroPie: Navigating the RetroPie Setup Script Menu Structure Emulation Station – Emulator Selection – RetroPie 3įollowing the June 8th 2016 update to the RetroPie Setup Script the functionality and menu structure have changed noticeably from the streamlined earlier incarnation. The Raspbian kernel does not automatically mount external USB drives by default this isn’t an issue when launching the Kodi media center, or the desktop, as both have the capability to detect and mount a USB hard disk or flash storage device once it is connected. ![]() Please see the Related Posts section for setup guides detailing how this was achieved. I have my machine set to boot to a custom menu at the command prompt, rather than directly to the desktop, to facilitate easy switching between these options. My Raspberry Pi 3 is setup to serve triple duty as a lightweight PC replacement, running the Raspbian desktop, as a media center using Kodi, and as a retro video game emulator suite, via RetroPie. Using an External Drive with an NTFS File System.Notes Regarding Raspbian Desktop’s Automount Feature.Manually Unmounting an Automounted USB Drive.Automount from Boot or within Emulation Station.In this article I aim both to demonstrate and expand upon the steps involved, whilst highlighting some issues which I have encountered when using this approach, and providing their resolutions. ![]() The general technique which I have adopted and is common, and whilst there are similar guides available, I have adapted the approach specifically for use on a Pi running Raspbian Lxde Desktop, Kodi Media Center, and Emulation Station with RetroPie. This how-to guide shows a method to automatically mount an external USB drive on the Raspberry Pi. ![]() Searching for other emulators offering recording, I found only the non- Libretro variant of Fuse to have in-built facilities whilst serviceable for capturing ZX Spectrum games, the audio-video files generated by the emulator are of a decidedly non-standard format.įundamentally it was my experiments when attempting to transcode footage of Technician Ted captured from Fuse, first with avconv, and later with FFmpeg, and a subsequent enquiry on the RetroPie forum, which spawned the series of articles which form this how-to guide.įor reference, the system used whilst researching this project was a Raspberry Pi 3, overclocked to 1300mhz (please see Overclocking the Raspberry Pi 3: Thermal Limits and Optimising for Single vs Multicore Performance for specifics). I’d previously managed to enable the audio-video feature provided by the Atari ST emulator, Hatari, and was hopeful that a software-only solution was feasible for other systems.Īt time of writing this guide has been tested on RetroPie 3.7, 3.8.1, and 4 (rc-1) setups, all running on installations of Raspbian Jessie, and RetroPie 4.0.3 installed on Raspbian Jessie with Pixel My motivation to undertake what has become a sizeable research, development, and experimentation, project grew from a simple desire to obtain recordings of emulators running under RetroPie. Recording to an External Storage Device.Tuning the FFmpeg Recording Configuration.Recording with the Custom RecordConfig Option.Adding Recording Options to the RetroPie Runcommand Menu.Activating the RetroArch Recording Features.Checking FFmpeg has Been Enabled in RetroArch.Rebuilding RetroArch to Enable FFmpeg Recording.Implemented natively on a standard Raspberry Pi, this approach runs without the need for any external hardware (such as an Elgato capture-card). The following guide demonstrates how to enable the capture of real-time gameplay footage from various console systems available in the RetroPie emulator suite, a number of which can utilise the RetroArch framework to provide an integrated audio-video recording facility.
