Hello,
first of all, thank you for the realy good improvements which have been done in the last 1,5 years i am using retropie.
Nearly all of my problems have been solved since i used version 2.x on RPi1b. Thank you very much.But there is one problem which i got now with version 3.5 and my RPi2.
I got two controllers: Microsoft X-Box pad (Japan) and Zeroplus Xbox Controller
Both are Controllers from an old XBOX which are plugged in with an Mayflash USB Adapter (Super Joy Box 11). They work without any problems since i am using retropie. Perfect.But now when i tested with the actual version, the button for Left and right are recognized as an Axis Button, which is not realy false but is causing my problem i think. This is the config for that: (i can also use +2 or +5 but the same problem)
input_player1_l_axis = -2
input_player1_r_axis = -5The problem is, as this is an axis, when i use it in games or in ES I press the button and it shoots multiple times (because it is analog!?)
In an old version (2.x) i know, i didnt have that problem. i just could scroll one page up or down without any problem. but know it jumps 3,4,5,6 … pages when i press it once.Anybody has an idea how i can solve this? Can i tell the system to use the axis as a button or … ?
Thank you very much.
Hello,
I’m a complete newb, so sorry if this is something simple. I just got my ControlBlock, and I just noticed that there is a micro USB power port on the ControlBlock. So my question is do you need to plug in a micro USB power port into the RaspberryPi and ControlBlock, or just the ControlBlock. Either way what are the power requirements for the ControlBlock? I couldn’t find anything on the site or forum.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Topic: Xbox One Controller Issues
This is my first post here so I hope it’s in the right place. In the past I have been able to use xbox one controllers no problem, but recently I decided to reinstall retropie and set it up with xbox controllers, but when i plugged in both of my controllers it doesnt detect them as gamepads. they vibrate as if they are getting power, yet they dont get recognized. when I use lsusb it shows up, so the only thing i could think of is that it was software based since the xbox one controllers run off their own software. I used my roommates xbox controller that he hasn’t updated recently and it worked fine, but once i updated it i had the same problem as my controllers. i saw somebody else post about a similar issue and they thought it was the build model, but from my experience im thinking its the software version. does anyone have any idea on how to get it to work? or am i just going to have to wait for xboxdrv to be updated?
I used to do this all of the time by copying my ext4 fs to USB and changing up cmdline.txt but this ain’t working no more. I keep getting kernel panic errors.
The construction of the SNES Mini differs from the larger first gen. SNES. The controller port on the SNES Mini is part of the main board, the pins that connect with the controller cables are soldered directly to the main board, there are no ribbons or wires that can be disconnected to isolate the controller ports.
———————————————————————————
With this in mind, please note that if you plan to wire a ControlBlock to a second Gen. SNES (SNES Mini), the controller ports will need to be “completely” separated from the SNES board. Controller wires from the ControlBlock must be connected to an SNES mini controller port that is isolated from the SNES main board.
———————————————————————————-System Specs:
– SNES (Mini) 2nd Gen. OEM Controllers
– Raspberry Pi 2b
– Retropie 3.5 (over clocked)
– ControlBlock
– Power (Boot up/down switch) Retains SNES switch
– Blue LED (power on/off & system boot up/down status)
– usb wifi dongle
– usb wireless keyboard/dongle
– rear I/O ports: USB data, 3.5mm barrel power, HDMI
– custom power cable: USB to 3.5mm barrel
– custom internal power cable: +/- leads to Micro USBI need some help to connect my alternative PS3 controller to retropie. It will not pair and i’m wondering what i can do to fix it.
It is not detected by the emulation station setup, retropie_setup or sixad.Details
Pi Model: B
RetroPie Version Used: SD-card image Version 3.5 for Raspberry Pi 1 and Pi Zero
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: Bluetooth dongle, alternative ps3 controller
Controller used: Envivo PS3 Controller (alternative controller)
Error messages received: none
Guide used: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-PS3-controller
How to replicate the problem: ogin with ssh > retropie_setup.sh > update setup script > install ps3 controller > no pairingProblem
I’ve followed the guide several times, but pairing will not happen. I’ve tried all profiles, but no effect. Then i’ve tried to check everything,
with my limited Linux knowledge and the second part of the guide for older versions. Here are some screenshots from lsusb, hciconfig, sixpair:

sixad –stop
sixad –startSixad says i have to press the PS button, but nothing happens, no matter how long i press it. I’ve also noticed that dev/input/js0 does not exist.
The controller works on a windows machine.
questions
What do i need to do to fix this?
Is a powered usb hub required?
Can the ps3 controller work when it’s connected with usb instead of the bluetooth dongle?
Could i perhaps create a custom profile somewhere?Hello,
Not sure if this should be posted here or to the Control Config forum, but I’m new to Retropie, so I thought I’d start here.
I’m running Retropie 3.5 on a RPi 1. I’m super new with it, and trying to get things sorted.
I’ve got multiple controllers configured with Emulation Station – NES USB, Xbox controller, SNES USB, and a Logitech controller.
They all function as they should.
The only issue I seem to have is with my SNES emulators and my SNES RetroLink USB controller. None of the emulators use the correct “default” configuration found here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration
For example: If I use SNES9X and hit start…This exits the ROM (same behaviour as ster + select).
If I use a different emluator they all have a variety of results…Buttons are switched depending on the emulator used.
There isn’t an emulator that outputs the appropriate default button presses.
I’ve been looking into some tutorials on controller configs, but I’m not able to find out exactly where to go and what to do…
My understanding is I need to reconfigure my controller in Retroarch, specifically the SNES configuration…However, I’m not sure what the id values on my buttons are, and I don’t quite know where to get them.
Would love some support.
Thanks.
Hi,
I’m getting ready to move from a B+ to a 2 and did sudo apt-get update + upgrade last night. F1 is no longer bringing up config menus anywhere like it used to. I have a hardware button set to that and a usb keyboard. No go either way.
Any pointers?
Thanks!
I’m just having the most frustrating time with this issue, and I’ve tried a lot of different things.
Issue:
I have a 360 Arcade Stick made by Hori called the VX
http://www.play-asia.com/hori-fighting-stick-vx/13/7049ou
It confirmed works on my PC and my xbox 360. Everything is fine thereI installed a RetroPie SD image of 3.5 onto an SD card, everything went well there.
No matter what I do, I can’t get the stick to register the LT and RT buttons when I press them. There are registered as analogue so they start at position ~37560 or something and when depressed, are at position ~(-)37560. Everything else on the controller works fine.
xboxdrv will not pick up on it no matter what. I’ve tried having the controller plugged in from before power on, I’ve tried editing /etc/rc.local to include a line to reference it by the device id that shows up in lsusb. I have tried the manual, AND the daemon install on the github file for installing xboxdrv. I have tried installing it automatically through the retropie configuration. Nothing works.
To make matters worse, when I blacklist xpad, the device no longer responds to even jstest. The light blinks on and off, but it does nothing no matter what I press.
And just to add insult to injury, I have a wireless USB dongle for 360 controllers that works flawlessly and even switches the A/B input for me that a lot of guides were warning me about. But NOTHING on the controller. I’m at wits end here.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
Wow, I feel really dumb. It turned out that I simply forgot some quotes over the device id in the rc.local file. Problem solved.Anyone had chance get controller to work in dreamcast emulator?
I have both Xbox 360 and normal usb controller nothing works.
Topic: My NES Build
Hi,
I decided, after finding an old NES that the innards had unfortunately died in, that I’d have a crack at doing a Retropie build in one. I’d found loads of guides on the net, most notably these two: Raspberry Pi installed into an old broken NES and I too put a Raspberry Pi in an NES.
I got myself all the basics I needed: Pi2, case, wires and extension leads for the inputs/outputs as I wanted to keep the box self-contained with no trailing wires etc. I had discovered Mausberry use-your-own switch as well as a wiring diagram from the second link above (which was also handy for the LED wiring I did to the original NES switchboard). So I thought I’d have a crack similar to the guide where the Pi was sat on a removable platform.
Anyway, I knocked it all together and I had already shared the video-splash that I did on the Splash Screen forum – see here: My Video Splash and I thought I’d let people see what I’ve done. Please be aware that I had soldered nothing prior to this, and despite working in IT for nearly 12 years, I’ve not done much with bare electronics such as the Pi tends to use. So if I can knock this together, then I’m sure most people could if given some help.
Now, I have re-sprayed the top a slate grey (hard to see from the pictures exactly) and I managed to get a new NES logo from eBay which I think looks perfect.
Only issue I had when sprucing up the case was that the bottom half of the shell had a dint in it (must’ve been dropped which would explain why the original NES innards were knacked) and I tried to fix by heating it up… a little too much. Turns out I melted the plastic just above the power and reset switches, which is why they look odd. New plan is to strip the top off, re-spray the bottom as well as the buttons, but I was anxious to get this online for you all to see. I was thinking a satin finish black for the base would complement the top as well as re-spraying the buttons the same slate grey to match the lid. The top half is pretty much as it will be, apart from one corner where the paint has chipped when I was closing the two halves together (bit heavy-handedly). I’m especially pleased with the game-slot facia with USB port cutout. This was actually UPVC trim from a diy store that fits perfectly, just needed trimming to length. There’s a 4 port hub glued to the other side of it and it’s pretty solid.
Oh, one more thing which I think quite a few people were after doing was hooking up the reset button so that you could exit emulators. I managed to find this forum post (linky) which I liberated and it works! The bit that you’re after is a fair way down and called escape.py and escape.sh rather that the earlier posts. As it turns out, I thought I’d need both wires from the rest switch, but I only needed one. It was trial and error, so I’m actually unsure of which one works, but there’s only 2 so it’s not exactly going to take long to test.
I’ve put a video on youtube here:
showing it off booting and that. And there is a link to the picture gallery showing the insides as well here: HossNES44 Gallery
Any comments would be great, and I’ll try and answer any questions if you’ve got them.
Topic: Video Aspect Ratio Issues
Hey Guys & Gals,
I have been using retropie since 3.0 went out and there have not been any issues for me, but unfortunately after 3.4 I have been trying to work the vide aspect ratio on retroarch.cfg to get the full screen mode I used to get in v3.3.1 and unfortunately I am not getting anywhere with this.
On version 3.3.1, I currently use this setting to get the games to display as full screen (1.77 (16:9) HDTV US standard)
video_aspect_ratio = 1.77
I have also edited the /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file to have the emulator start with the video mode for 16:9 HDTV and the results are the same it does not start in full screen mode
Please help me fix this and thank you Guys & Gals in advance
