I am trying to configure a Gioteck VX2 BT Controller which is connected to the Pi using USB. This is a BT controller, but i am not using the BT connection.
When configuring ES the controller is detected correctly, however when i configure the controller ES doesn’t respond to the Select and Start buttons. All other buttons can be configured correctly.es_input.cfg:

Topic: PS3 Controller Pairing issue
This is a new issue to 3.4 and 3.5.
Previously in 3.3 it was working fine.
My Ps3 controllers won’t pair through bluetooth unless I plug them in through usb first.
Once they are paired they are fine. But I hope that I don’t have to plug them in first before every time I want to play.
I’ve looked around and I haven’t been able to find any solutions.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I’m working on finishing up building an arcade cabinet with a retropie setup. The cabinet controls are a two player joystick and button configuration.
My question is, is it possible to disable the joystick controls easily within retropie, and switch over to using PS3 controllers? I want to use the PS3 controllers for games that aren’t conducive to arcade gaming. If I don’t disable the joysticks somehow, the ps3 controllers link up as player 3 and player 4, which isn’t going to work. The only method I could think of now is to just unplug the USB for the joystick and button controls, but it would be great if there was a software switch I could make to turn off the joysticks, and then use the PS3 controllers.
Thanks for the help!

Pi Model: 2

USB Devices connected: 1 controller and one flash drive
Controller used: Logitech F310
Error messages received: NoneI followed this video step for step
Everything goes perfectly in Putty with no errors, when I reboot the PI there are no pictures or data
I used FileZilla to look into the PI’s directory to ensure everything worked.
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snesWhen I go under the directory (/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes) there is a gamelist.xml. When I opened it, all the games and data is there. If into the images directory (/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/images) all the images that scraper downloaded are there. So I know it downloaded everything properly, but still nothing is showing in EmulationStation.
I deleted the gamelist.xml from the emulationstation directory (/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/snes) to see if the two different .xml files were causing a conflict. Rebooted the Pi and still no data or pictures
I moved all the images from
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/images
to
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/snesI then moved the gamelist.xml from
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes
to
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/snesrebooted the PI and still nothing.
Any help as to what I am doing wrong.

[sort of a report but with proper details this time]
Hi there and thanks, advance, if anyone can help. Here’s my problem:I’ve built a bartop arcade cabinet for my two kids to enjoy the games of my youth. It uses only AdvMame and about 15 oooooold school arcade games.
It’s built on a RaspberyPie 2 B running RetroPie and Emulation Station. I have 5 buttons (insert coin, player 1, fire/jump, alt action, quit) and a 4-direction joystick from Adafruit all direct wired into the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pie board. The joystick is mapped to ARROW UP, ARROW DOWN, etc etc and the buttons are mapped to various keys (5,6,enter,etc) to send commands to the emulator so the user can both navigate and play the games
It all works flawlessly – EXCEPT for this:
When I am in the MAME menu of ES and I launch a game, there’s a brief moment between selecting the game and when it comes up on screen (while the ROM itself is loading). If, during that time, you move the joystick at all, the ROM stops loading and a configuration screen pops up (one with emulator specific configs – Select default emulator for MameAdv, Select default emulator for ROM, etc)
Because my kids are…well, kids…when they pick a game they are very likely to get anxious and touch the joystick or a button, etc. When they do so, the ROM stops loading and I have to dig up a USB keyboard to exit out of the config menu and get back into ES.
Is there anyway to either a) disable this or b) re-map what keys call up this menu so that the joystick/buttons cannot do so.
Thanks for any thoughts on solving this!

Can anyone recommend a good USB hub that works properly with the Raspberry Pi B and Retropie? I’ve tried a few up to and including an Amazon Basics powered hub (AmazonBasics 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQFGH80/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_xQpTwbWE7952P). None seem to work well. At best, things like keyboards are only recognized if they’re plugged into the hub at startup. Changing things around after that never works. At worst, peripherals such as USB gamepads aren’t recognized whether they’re plugged in at boot time or any time thereafter. Or is this a matter of the USB drivers for the Pi itself, and if so are there better ones that can be applied?
Hi;
I am having some trouble with RetroPie. I have a Logitech Rumblepad II controller and a Keysonic RF Keyboard.
When first booted RetroPie it would say controller recognised and let me configure it, now the buttons no longer work and when I boot RetroPie I cannot configure the controller as I no longer get an option to do so. I have tried plugging in a keyboard as well but nothing on the keyboard is recognised until I hit F4 which quits RetroPie to a terminal, then the keyboard works as expected?
The reason I need both a controller and a Keyboard is because I am mainly interested in Amiga Games and to get the ROMs loaded at the Kickstart Menu you need a keyboard?
How do I setup up my RetroPie to use a controller and a Keyboard.
I was using a PiZero with a USB Hub but am also trying a Pi Model B (Same SD Card).
Afternoon all,
As per title, I am trying to deal with the multi disk games available for the psx and think I am getting somewhere currently but the library is a bit of a mess.
I could manually edit the metadata to show disk numbers to list properly (at this point disk 2 is first, then disk 3 and finally 1) but what I would REALLY like is to only have the first disk show and then manage disk swaps through RGUI when it needs it through direct file names from the SD/USB stick.
Any thoughts? Is this even possible?
Thanks!
RetroPie 3.4 (latest)
Using rhaphnet Snes to Usb chip controller. This works great with lr-snes9x-next and the controller works great.
Changed the emulator to lr-catsfc and the dpad axis’s do not work.
However the axis does work on the menu in the game. e.g Super Mario Allstars – the menu to select a rom, the axis works then. Even when a rom is chosen (Super Mario Bros 3) the axis works, but when you actually get to gameplay – it stops. Actually just tested again and it seems only the hotkey buttons work in game.
Swap back to lr-snes9x-next and it all works again.
Any ideas?
thanks
hello all, thanks in advance for the help.
have a weird issue (aren’t they all?)
my config is RPi1 with 2 USB SNES controllers and latest version (3.4) of retropie
all works fine EXCEPT controller stays “stuck” on last input in some SNES roms. some of my favorite of course (bomberman2, micro machines, connors tennis,..). by stuck, i mean if i press right and release, it will keep going right until i press another button.
– controller works fine in menus
– works fine in other emulators (atari2600, mame)
– works fine with a bunch of snes roms (mario world, mariokart,..)
– the problem disappears if i use pisnes instead of lr-pocketsnes. (though i get other button mapping issues)
– tried other type of controllers and got the same issue (xbox)>> i could fix the mapping of buttons for pisnes and call it a day but it seems to not be as smooth as pocketsnes, screen is smaller, etc. so i’d rather get everything working on pocketsnes. anybody encountered this issue?
thanks!
Hello. I have a Slikstik spinner that I am trying to get to work with AdvMAME. It works just fine on MAME4All, though so I know it’s not the hardware. I test the spinner with Tempest but it doesn’t work. It appears that it defaults to AdvMAME 0.94 rather than 1.2. I’m using the 0.106 romset.
Thank you!
