4-Player-Support for SNES-Games?

[5t4m]

Hi all, Nice work! I am looking forward to upgrading my old Pi B with Retropie to Pi B2 and Recalbox OS. However, is it possible to play multiplayer-games with 4 player (excluded FBA)? Definitely want to play games like Nintendo World Cup (NES) or various Bomberman (SNES) with 3 friends. Thanks!

Hi, I let you look this post. There is a tuto about how to play 4 player on snes. But it is in french. If you don't understand using tools like google translate. Tell us, and someone will translate it.

For SNES it is possible to play with 3 or 4 players (Super Bomberman for example). To enable multitap in snes9x emulator (standard emulator for snes in recalbox is pocketsnes i think, and so you first have to switch the emulator. See here, how that works -> link) you have to do the following steps:   1) edit  retroarch.cfg (/etc), the line # input_libretro_device_p2?  « 227 », so that the line looks like this: input_libretro_device_p2 = « 257 » (delete hashtag # at the beginning of the line!) 2) Start any SNES Game and press Hotkey + B (on PS3-Controller it is X) to get into retroarch-Menu and then go to/change the following settings: Setting > General Setting > Configuration Save On Exit : ON Setting > Input Setting > User 2 Device Type > Multitap 3) Quit RetroArch

Wow!! I really have to thank you guys! I hoped for a reply on the next day, but you were even faster Your posted information should help me a lot. Looking forward to play SNES in 4 player mode. @joinski: Über deinen Guide bin ich überhaupt auf das recalbox OS gekommen. Werde das die Tage mal bei meinem alten Raspberry Pi B probieren und dann das B2 holen. Danke!

Der Guide (also die Seite powerpi.de) ist nicht von mir ^^ Ich helfe dem Aki (Initiator der Seite) nur ein wenig beim Beantworten der Fragen

Hi all, Just to be sure, for SNES 4-Players are supported (via Snes9x and instruction above), but FCEUNext (NES) is only working for 2 Player ?

Hi all, My Recalbox is now working (with 4 player support for snes) just fine in about 2 hours work. Thanks a lot! However I am not able to get 4 players for nes working. Tried Nestopia and fceunext, but neither worked for me. Was someone from you guys able to make that work? I came across 2 topics for nestopia and 4 player support and am still working on it: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3164 https://github.com/rdanbrook/nestopia/issues/146 Any information would be appreciated!
