Trouble with RetroPie

I used to play with various emulators on the PC. It was pretty easy to get set up and didn't require any technical knowledge.

Re: Install theme after installation

I bought the official RPi WiFi dongle and it works great for copying files over to the RaspiBoy. :)

Hi. Is there someone here familiar with Raspian/Retropie who knows how to do the following? I'm running the latest Retropie distro on my RaspiBoy and enjoy playing 8-bit Dragon and Tandy Color Computer games using the XRoar emulator. The only drawback with this is I have to attach a keyboard in orde...

Re: D-Pad Down Direction

Loosening the screws nearest to the rear of the buttons (half a turn) has fixed the problem. :)

Many thanks for the prompt responses from everyone. :D :D
