ARpiCADE 4.1
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2020 11:54 am
ARpiCADE 4.1 is here!
It's still considered experimental and is still only supports arcade stuff but it's getting there.
What it has:
-Attract-Mode
-service menu (still cut down compared to 3.9)
-Naomi stuff can now be exited without a keyboard (but still doesn't work with other button shortcuts)
-fixed Naomi output when booting at 240p (not authentic but looks great on the titles I tried)
-improved vertical config compared to 4.0
What I still haven't done yet:
-Daphne
-consoles
-4 player support
-high res support
-wifi support
Known bugs:
-MAME 172 and 203 are basically unusable when booting at 480i (MAME doesn't know when the system swaps res to 240p so draws the screen wrong), use 174 and 215 if using default settings.
-Naomi (lr-flycast) won't auto rotate for vertical monitor mode like most Retroarch stuff, it's a core option in the quick menu you will need to turn on manually (Haven't actually tried it yet myself... I'm assuming it works)
-Can occasionally see some boot text (particularly if you have changed anything on the 2nd partition since the previous boot)
-the boot splash image takes a few seconds to start making it seem like it's not running initially

I still recommend Pi3B+ and ARpiCADE 3.9 for the best overall experience.
EDIT:
I'm not sure if it will boot on the 8gig model of Pi4, I don't have one.
Update:
Oringinal update removed
Better update:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cv5F9J ... sp=sharing
copy the new launchers over the old ones in /boot/launchers/
and copy the files in the aconfig directory over the ones in /home/pi/.config/retroarch/aconfig/
vert games should be fixed up at the various different settings available (hopefully I didn't miss anything this time...)
another update:
for flip screen support (to suit your monitor mounting): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sZqfqB ... sp=sharing
it's called cmdline.txt.flip you will need to rename it cmdline.txt for it to work... (setup for 480i, should work OK at 240p, you may want to adjust it)
