Enabling SSH on RetroPie

We're gonna scroll to retro PI R as pi config number five interfacing options SSH yes we would like to enable the SSH server click OK now we can just click finish. We're gonna move over to my PC now I'll leave a link in the description to putty it's super easy to setup I'll show you how to do it right now we're just gonna copy and paste a few lines of text and our neo geo X arcade stick will be up and running.

Moving Over to My PC

Let's move over to my PC now. Alright so now we're back at my PC in the description you can download this file here it explains everything we need. We have the username PI password raspberry, we need to create a file called neo geo X dot rules show you how to do that.

Using Putty for SSH

I'm gonna be using putty you can use any SSH application that you like but this one's super simple to use easy to install it's gonna download it install now mine's already installed so I will have to click repair. You're just gonna install yours finish now we're gonna open it up. I have mine in my taskbar here in the host name we're gonna type in retro PI now you have to be on the same exact network as your Raspberry Pi you can either be on Wi-Fi or Ethernet make sure SSH is chosen here if you'd like to save it you can put a name in here just see it off the type out retropie again click Save.

Logging into RetroPie

Open now we're gonna need to log in. We're gonna log in as PI P I password is raspberry and we now have a Raspberry Pi terminal open up on our PC so go ahead and grab that text file from the description first, we're just going to copy and paste this. We're gonna create this NeoGeo dot rules enter from here we need to paste this right in so make sure you get all of it all the way down to one quotation.

Configuring Input for the Arcade Stick

Copy paste and sometimes you want to make sure you definitely have it in here there we go it's all there press ctrl x + y to save press ENTER. Now all we need to do is reboot the PI, we can do that right here by typing in sudo reboot enter our raspberry pi is now rebooting. We're gonna move over there now I'm gonna plug the NeoGeo X arcade stick in and we'll be able to configure it all.

Configuring the Arcade Stick

Alright so the PI's been rebooted it's time to set up the arcade stick if you have another controller already connected to your Raspberry Pi, press the start button scroll down to configure input are you sure you want to configure input yes one gamepad is detected that's the NeoGeo arcade stick. Hold a up in the top right hand corner I have created a little chart and how to set this up correctly according to a real NeoGeo arcade stick.

Setting Up Controls

The joystick start and select our self-explanatory we're gonna do the d-pad that's gonna be our joystick up-down left-right start select. Now this is where it gets a little weird pad B is a pad A is B pad D is X and pad C is why there's no shoulder buttons or anything like that so we're just gonna hold one of the buttons that we've already set up all the way to the end till we get to the hotkey. Hotkey for me it's gonna be select when you get to ok press whatever button you mapped is a now ready to use the arcade steak.

Testing the Arcade Stick

I'll go right into NeoGeo and we'll just go for arrow fighters to insert some coins with your select button, press start and you can pick whoever you want. F-117 put some more coins in and if you want to exit just press Start and select as long as you set up your hockey a select we go for one more metal slot and there you have it your neo geo X arcade stick is set up with your Raspberry Pi running retropie.

Conclusion

Super simple to do so overall I really enjoy using this stick it's not without its flaws but we're gonna try to get this fixed up in another video possibly next week if I can get all the parts in in time but until then it's perfectly usable like it is. It really boils down to if you like the look of the Neo Geo AES arcade stick that's really it if you're interested in picking one of these up I'll leave links to Amazon down below when I got mine it was 39.99 I don't know if they're gonna raise the price or not you never know what these Amazon sellers so get one now.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on guys CTA Prime back here again today we're gonna take a look at the Neo Geo X arcade stick now before we even get started you guys got to understand this is $39.99 on Amazon I'll leave links in the description if you're interested this is not a tournament style fight stick it will not compete with a hundred and $50 to $500 arcade sticks you'll find all over the internet now those sticks are costly because they're high-quality well most of them are high quality this is a replica of the Neo Geo AES arcade stick I actually picked up two of these because I love Neo Geo and I wanted an Aes style stick to play my Neo Geo games on my PC and my Raspberry Pi for the price 39.99 is what I bought mine for it's definitely worth it but there's also some room for improvement and I do plan on doing some videos on upgrading this stick I want to add some new switches inside of it I really don't mind the arcade stick itself a lot of people had problems with it but when you're playing Neo Geo games with it it's perfectly fine some moves are hard to pull off in fighting games like fatal fury because it has a four-way restricter some people like that eight way gate but this is only four but if you're playing games like Metal Slug blazing star and things like that it's perfectly fine the stick works great the main modification that I want to do to this is add a little bit of weight to it I want to put a steel plate inside of it because it is pretty lightweight I mean it's all made out of plastic in this video I'm gonna do a quick teardown I want you to hear this thing also but I'm gonna show you how to set it up on the Raspberry Pi because it's not plug-and-play with retro PI you will have to set up a new u dev rule it's pretty simple to do if you follow along with this tutorial you should have it set up in no time so here's a sound clip I want you to hear this thing if you look here the buttons are a bit Wiggly and there's really no way to fix this even with a new switch I was gonna add silence and wah switches in here but it's not gonna fix the wiggliness of the buttons here's a quick look at the internals now the stick itself is pretty easily upgradable I do have some sand walls laying around that I could throw in here but I'm not worried about the stick itself like I said I'm really worried about the weight one of the other little issues that I don't like about this is the switches they use now they're not hard enough they feel very soft you could try to tear these apart and put a better spring inside of them or you can add a better switch itself but they're soldered to this main board here there's a couple ways around this you could add a USB encoder in here you could find switches that fit exactly or you can add some sand Waze but you will need to wire them a little differently here's the Sanwa with the stock NeoGeo X button on top now the button cap fits perfectly on the Sanwa but the connectors are in a different orientation these switches will fit in the switch holder inside of the NeoGeo X but it's gonna be a different orientation for the wiring so you may have to add a little lead wire which shouldn't be much of an issue I'm gonna look into this a little deeper I'll get a parts list I'll order everything and then I'll do a video and show you how to upgrade so let's get this thing set up on the Raspberry Pi I'm running a Raspberry Pi 3 with retro PI 4.3 the latest updates installed we do need to set up a u dev rule I'll show you how to do all of that you can have this up and running in a matter of minutes let's move over to the Raspberry Pi now so like I mentioned this neo geo X stick won't work out of the box but it's relatively easy to get it set up in the description you'll find a link to a drop box txt file it contains everything you need to get this going you can input all of this directly on the Raspberry Pi but you will need a keyboard connected press f4 it'll bring you into the terminal and you can type this out but I'm going to be using putty over Network I'm just gonna connect to my Raspberry Pi makes it a lot easier you can copy and paste you'll be up and running and under in order to connect from your PC using an SSH application we do need enable SSH on the PI we're gonna scroll to retro PI R as pi config number five interfacing options SSH yes we would like to enable the SSH server click OK now we can just click finish we're gonna move over to my PC now I'll leave a link in the description to putty it's super easy to setup
