Retropie + Retrotink Ultimate Setup

This repo contains configurations and helper scripts for configuration a fresh Retropie installation to use the Retrotink Ultimate (http://www.retrotink.com/) for analog video output. Some of the configs in this repo were taken from https://github.com/Vykyan/retroTINK-setup.

The configurations in this repo have been modified based on my testing, and this is what I've gotten to work with my Toshiba CRT TV. I've included a theme that is based on the carbon-nometa built-in theme that omptizes some things for CRT's- this theme will be enabled automatically when the setup script is run.

How to use this repo

• Install RetroPie image and enable SSH (See RetroPie docs)
• SSH into your pi and run the following:

git clone https://github.com/robbydyer/retropie-retrotink-setup.git
cd retropie-retrotink-setup
sudo ./setup.sh
sudo reboot

It is safe to run setup.sh repeatedly. Just be aware that any changes you might have made to any of the files installed from files/ will be overwritten with the defaults in the repository.

Extras

There are a few helper scripts I've added here

These scripts are all installed into /usr/local/bin by the setup script, so they can be called without a fully qualified path.

• resize-video FILENAME - A helper script to resize an mp4 video to 320x240.
• resize-all-videos - Resizes all *.mp4 videos scraped via the scraper and stored in /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images
• run-scraper - Runs Steven Selpth's Scraper for all systems (see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/scraper#steven-selphs-scraper for installation information). Downloads mp4 videos, which can then be resized with above scripts.
• restart-emulationstation - Restarts emulationstation. Helpful when modifying configs
