Sega 2

The SEGA Classic!

Nothing too terrible to report on here. I wanted to make an all Sega image for Retropie on the RPi3. I took the base Retropie 4.3 image, updated err'thing. Installed everything via the retropie install script except ffmpeg, that needed to be compiled manually with mmal in order for Attract Mode to work right. Creating this image was my most difficult thus far, it gave me about every error it could throughout the install, but we learned more than I ever cared to know about this project, although I had a blast working on it. :)

The intro video was worked and re-worked by my good friend and brother in law who shall remain nameless for several purposes. He does a great job at shit like this and he's a good guy to boot.

I decided to make the default theme for emulationstation Card Crazy. It has built in support for all included systems. I am a little disappointed that most of the popular themes do not support many of the systems. But that one did, and... it's got the Super Nintendo box right there in the background. We never had a Sega growing up. We had an Atari and then the NES & SNES. This is my nod to the system I never had, and the nintendo box in the background sets this off for me. There are plenty of other themes installed so feel free to do what you will with this.

I included the hyperpie layouts for all systems under Attract Mode, with hyperpie branding removed. Note that this is not necesarily a Hyperpie image, so much as I copied and used the layouts and Cinematix theme. Hursty's B2B-1000 for the Attract Mode Setup Menu.

The image is checking in at about 111 gigs, this will need to go on a 128 gig card, and will leave you with room to add anything if needed / wanted. Kodi is not included or installed, but could be easily added.

All systems have full or mostly full romsets except the Dreamcast. Unless you are using a Logitech F310, you will need to use the retropie setup script to complete configuration of your controllers.

Sega SG-1000
Sega SC-3000
Sega Mark III
Sega Game Gear
Sega Mastersystem
Sega Megadrive / Genesis
Sega Megadrive-Japan
Sega 32x
Sega CD
Sega Dreamcast

System also includes Game Gear and Genesis Hacks, which can be found only under emulationstation.

All included Dreamcast games have been play tested and either work perfectly or well enough. I found things like intro videos to not be perfect, but all the games I added work well enough.

Add me to the conversation if this image is discussed, if you have any questions, or just reach out and tell me how awesome I am! I_Died_Once@hotmail.com, include the word "Retropie" in the subject so it doesn't get lost, mmm'k?
