What OS and emulators are you using for your emulation station? - tanarri - 08-28-2016
So I spent the weekend hanging out with my cousin who brought his retropie along on our family vacation. I have been meaning to load one of my pine slated memory cards up as an emulation station, but after playing on his raspberry pi I have the bug and the need to get this going. What are you using for your OS and what programs are you using for emulation?

I tried Retroarch at first, but it only plays well with my wired xbox controller. I then moved on to a SNES emulator (SNESRetro16 i think its called), and it didn't play well with my controller adapters either. Retroarch had somewhat nicer shaders, definitely more options, but they were rather buggy in my case. SnesRetro16 had only a few shaders that were decent enough, but they worked pretty decently.
EDIT: to clarify what I mean by didn't play well with my adapters; I have two adapters, PS2 to USB, and SNES to USB. Neither would function correctly in Retroarch. I could get them to work in menus, or the game, not both. SnesRetro16 did not like two controllers plugged into the same adapter at the same time. Playing two player games was rather troublesome, as the controls tended to wig out a bit if both players were inputting commands at the same time. So if you don't plan on trying any of the things I was doing, you obviously won't run into the same issues I had.
