Usb keyboard works, pressing Key A is the input button as far as I remember..

You can always then reconfigure your keyboard via settings in retropie.

PS3 Pad should work as default. If not always remove any Bluetooth connections first before configuring your PS3 pad.

Your solution didn't help but I found the way. I am testing this image and another problem is with Game & Watch collection, when you're playing "Egg" for example, after around 5 minutes, game quit by itself.

With to 40k roms, obviously not every rom has been tested... things are bound not to work here and there. Consult Dr. Google

siedlak7 · 18 March 2020, 09:42

It is not the problem of roms but with the emulator or configuration of them. I thought that here is the place for discussion about issues of your Colossal relase. Am I wrong?

The image was released almost 12 months ago, i hardly use my pi. I guess ill have a look at when i get some spare time and report back

Thanks for the great work... I'm the only one getting

Kernel Panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

maybe a corrupted file image? no good SD card? Just unluck? I have a Rasp Model B+

THANKS for the attention (and again, great work)

Where is Egg Game & Watch? I only have Egg for ZX81 listed under all games. Are you sure you are using my colossal 256image because I dont have Game & Watch Games with colossal image?

As for your issues, using an authentic green or red original samsung card is required for my images any other brand i can't guarantee it will works as the image is tight squeezed for a samsung only card.

Next issue might be your PSU.. I recommend only using an authentic raspberry pi PSU any other psus or phone chargers cause issues (Slowdowns and or freezes) with the pi.

Idmode · 19 March 2020, 10:30

Thanks Ransom for the answer! I think is the SD card... a chinese one... very cheap...

ransom1122 · 19 March 2020, 12:12

100% that's your problem.

Genuine 256gb Samsung & a proper PSU your world will change, trust me.

Firstly apologies for reviving and old thread but would you believe I was on another site looking at images for RPi and I saw a familiar name ie @ransom1122 ! No surprise that when I checked EAB you're a member here! Lol

I'm wondering whether you have updated the package for it to work on RPi 4?

I used another image and despite being nicely laid out, I noticed that the A1200 emulation was actually very slow. I have no idea why given your build and looking at videos it seems to run perfectly?

My main aim is to throw hook up pi to CRT TV and run at 240p thus replacing my current laptop that I'm using for the same purpose and avoid me having to repeatedly mess around with the original hardware.

I stopped using RPi's a long time ago. Moved over to the MiSTer .

I've removed it off the web. Best way to find it unofficially is with Google.

Jsbuds · 03 March 2021, 23:35

Awesome. Thankyou very much.??

You don't, by any chance, unofficially have a similar chunky file for the MiSTer, by any chance?
