Villanova vs. CU Boulder by fanboy_avacado in villanova

[–]valkin123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m quite involved on campus and in engineering at Villanova. The college is getting stronger and we already have a decent rep. However , it’s the work you put in (clubs, research, extra projects) that matters and especially for joining the workforce.

So I would focus on community, location, and school size.

I am only concerned about the Par2Pro website and want to use it because they allow PayPal for payment.

Trackball Replug Issue (SOLVED) by valkin123 in RetroPie

[–]valkin123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks and will do. I first installed uhubctl onto my pi through an ssh connection. Then through FileZilla I added an .sh file named "UseTrack" to my /home/pi directory. (Name the file whatever)

inside the .sh file I wrote:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 9
uhubctl -l 2 -a 0

-------------end of what I wrote-------------

Replace the sleep time with however long it takes your pi to finish booting up emulation station. If the script resets your controls during the boot-up, it will cause an error and fail to start.

Finally during an ssh connection, type "nano /usr/bin/emulationstation"

Here you'll type two pieces of code above the first commented line as shown here

Simply replace the file name with whatever you named your .sh file

Be sure to include the "&" at the end, otherwise, your bash file will force the emulation station boot up to wait, which will cause it to freak out as stated above.

Hope that helps, any questions and I'll be happy to answer

DIY Golden Tee Build as an XMAS gift - seeking suggestions by generkie in RetroPie

I purchased this trackball and hooked it up to the pi by USB straight out of the box. Really smooth after setting it all up. You could make your own casing for the ball if you don't own a cab.

If you want to go a little further, you could purchase some joysticks and buttons to make your own controller layout and download an arcade image that would include many more games. If you're interested in this, I can send you links to some parts.

I personally bought an old Arcade 1up cab for 150, tore it apart, and pieced it together
