Topic: Scraper Not Working
Hi all;
New to Retropie and I have a problem. This all started when I upgraded to the newest version. I had everything sraped by Sselph’s Scraper. When I upgraded I ended up with a white screen of death so I formatted the card, copied the image to the card and added all of my roms again. Once it was all up and running I decided to use the scraper again and that is where my problems began.
I ran the script; making sure that Emulation Station was shut down and when I rebooted Retropie none of the images or metadata was there. I have tried a few times and Ssephs scraper runs but none of it shows up.
I don’t know if this will help but I was able to scrape a few of the games from the one in Emulation Station but the Times Played and Last Played register while Emulation Station/Retropie is running but it is all gone when I reboot.

Hi,
Has anyone had any luck getting a Saturn controller with USB adapter working with RetroPie?
The USB adapter is recognised as a Huijia USB Gamepad. The Emulationstation frontend works fine but I can’t get the dpad to work with any libretro core even if I use jstest to input what I think are the correct button mappings into /opt/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/HuijiaUSBGamePad.cfg
Help!
Hi,
I have 8gb card with Retropie/Kodi installed, but I have been struggling to run the Roms from my Sandisk 64GB usb 2.0 Drive. I have edited es_systems.cfg file with /media/usb0/ instead of /home/rp/. I have been able to edit certain emulator configs also with above mention changes. Emulators config files that are editable are PSX and Mame. I have not been able to find any configurations to edit for other emulators. Am I supposed to edit the rom location link for these files somewhere else. Kindly help!!!! Also this task is very tedious and repetitive, I am not sure if anyone has been able to develop a batch script to make it smooth. I am sure I am not the first one to use roms from USB drive.
I’m attempting to move all writes to a 3rd partition on the SD Card (or maybe even a USB thumb drive) so that I can make the boot and root partitions read-only to prevent SD card corruption. I’ve currently changed several Retroarch directories such as save location, remap location, etc. to the 3rd partition and it works just fine.
Now I’m trying to figure out which processes currently write to the boot/root partitions and whether or not I can disable them. I’ve been looking at this guide, and it covers the removal of several processes. Will disabling these processes interfere with the functionality of retropie/emulationstation? Also, what are the retropie/emulationstation specific processes that write to the SD Card?
I’ve been trying to get my PS4 controllers set up since the release of 3.4 and I’m having some issues. Previously on 3.3 I was able to get all four controllers working using this method, but on 3.4 I am unable to get the 3rd and 4th controllers working. The first two work fine with the PSX emulator, but the 3rd and 4th don’t seem to work properly.
Also, right on the D-Pad doesn’t work in the RetroArch config.
I have tried manually configuring controllers before and am not misspelling things. I have reinstalled the SD image multiple times now and have been unable to get all 4 working properly.
Has anyone managed to get 3 or 4 controllers working simultaneously with the PSX or any similar emulators?
If anyone has a better way of setting up the DS4 controllers for RetroPie 3.4, please let us know. Big thank you to anyone who can help!

How to replicate the problem: Very easy to do.
Install the 3.4 SD card image, update, follow the guide, and restart. When loading a game, controllers 3 & 4 don’t work. (Eg: PSX games) In addition to that, the controllers don’t work at all in some emulators. (Eg: Mame)I just setup the latest retropie image (3.4) on my Pi2. I have a USB audio adapter from Adafruit (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1475). Mine is the “CM-Headphone Type”. The setup for this is pretty straightforward on Jessie–you merely add
/etc/asound.conf
and put in:pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }
That done, I get sound as expected using speakertest both white noise tests and wave tests. I also get audio in Emulation Station scrolling through roms. NES emulator for example works fine.
Then, I loaded roms for AdvanceMAME and configured the default to launch 1.4. It works, but the audio is delayed about 5 seconds! It sounds great, but seriously, this is ridiculous latency leading me to think I have something configured wrong. Advmame .94 is better, but there is still latency. What’s going on here?
On my PiPlay SD card, AdvanceMAME 1.2 works fine–no latency. I would consider other MAME builds, but I want to be able to run Vector games at my display’s full resolution (1280×1024) and I want to be able to have shader/scanline flexibility for the other games (so probably running at higher, doubled etc. resolutions). Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? HDMI audio is not possible with my display setup.
Hi all, I’m a Retropie n00b so apologies if this is a silly question, help gratefully received. I’ve searched the forums but I can’t find a similar problem described so here goes…
I have blown a vanilla v3.4 image for RPi v1 onto my SD card and inserted into my Pi B+’s full-size SD slot. At start-up it asks to configure device because I don’t have a controller connected (correct). So I hold a key on my keyboard and it tells me I have a keyboard (great).
Then I run through the key mappings, key by key. Until the Okay step – no obvious key mapped to do that – pressed the obvious ones, but I somehow fumble my way through it by pressing everything until it goes away.Then I’m into the sidescrolling ES home screen. I can navigate left and right no problem, but none of the keys I have mapped activates the “_ Menu” or “A Select” items.
(There’s nothing special about the keyboard – it’s a cheapo Dell USB keyboard – works fine at the command line.)
What am I doing wrong?
Pointer to another article descibing my problem most welcome. Or whatever help you can provide. Thanks in advance.
ok, so i’m a little curious of the workings of this, as i have a usb with my roms on, will this back up scrip work the same way as when not using the usb for the rom locations?or do i need a second usb drive?never mind, i’ll just copy then move them via command line
Hey guys,
So i managed to install retropie today, loaded some mame roms and set up the Retrolink gamepad.
Only issue is that even though all my buttons work in navigating emul station, in mame games, the firebutton doesnt work. all directions and second button does. ive configured input many times… no dice
Any suggestions?
Hello all!
Brief Backstory: So I’m new to the forum, new to using RetroPie and just received my first Raspberry Pi as a late Christmas gift. As soon as I received it I knew I wanted to…play all of my favorite games and relive my childhood! I successfully got RetroPie up and running last week. Between the content posted here, GitHub and the amazing YouTube videos it was almost too easy (big thanks to the entire community!). I have successfully paired and configured my PS3 controller and got the Bluetooth working last night to prepare from some intense weekend gaming as I’m in NJ trapped in the blizzard.
Problem: I was attempting to get the PS3 joysticks working and accessing some of the directories and files I’ve seen others discuss was confusing me as was not able to locate the same content. I launch Crash Bandicoot and entered the RetroArch menu. I saw an Update section and thought “That sounds like a good idea”. So, I ran down the list and updated everything I saw. Jumped back to Crash and realized the joysticks were still not working, but thought that the proper files may not exist for me to edit. I attempted to exit the game by using START+SELECT which has worked since Day 1. Nothing. I went back to RetroArch and had to exit the Rom by Quitting RetroArch. I decided to reboot thinking maybe things would go back to normal or maybe that would solve the joystick issue. After reboot, still nothing. Tried some other Roms and it was the same result.
I’ve found some videos where the RetroArch PS3 Controller configs are visible and everything seems to match up. Attempting to run retropie_setup.sh and selecting 314 Configure input devices for RetroArch only prompts me for the keyboard. I then used 310 to Remove PS3 controller config. thinking this would be like hitting the reset button. After reconfiguring the controller again, the issue still remains.
At this point I’ve reached my capacity as I’m just too new to this. I’m afraid to venture any further on my own, I’ll mess something else up in the process. I can live without the joysitck support for now. I just want to get things working correctly again. Sorry for the long post and thank you to anyone who takes to time to read this and assist in anyway possible!

How to replicate the problem:Hey guys,
just recieved my Pi and installing retro pi image on it.
But for the controller, ive dug up an old X Arcade dual stick unit. The problem is that its around 7 or 8 years old and as such, it only comes with a serial cable and a PS adapter..
so first question can i use a ps2 to usb adapter to connect to the pi?
second question: do i need to program it (and therefore need a ps2 keyboard to attach to x arcade stick
Any help to this noob very much appreciated!
Thanks
I have 3 snes controllers. Two original snes controllers that I am trying to use with this usb adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Link-SNES-Controller-Adapter-Dual/dp/B00BYH9Q4Y/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1453501592&sr=8-7&keywords=retrolink+snes as well as a “direct usb” snes controller, found here: http://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Classic-USB-Gamepad-PC/dp/B002B9XB0E/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1453501581&sr=8-9&keywords=retrolink
I’ve tried both retropie 3.3 and 3.4. I am able to get the direct usb controller recognized just fine. However, the other two controllers don’t work. I have confirmed that the two original controllers via adapter are showing in the system using “lsusb”, “lsinput” as well as looking at
/dev/input
which has all 3 “js0”, “js1” and “js2” there. I’ve runjstest
as well and it is able to pick up the buttons from all 3 controllers.Any idea how I can get emulationstation and emulators to recognize these two controllers? Also I should note that when launching emulationstation it just says “1 controller recognized” when I have all 3 plugged in. If I unplug the “direct usb” one it’ll say 0 controllers.
Any ideas?
Topic: Some Roms not showing up
Computer noob here.
Just installed v3.4 yesterday, transferring ROMs via USB stick (Since I couldn’t figure out Cyberduck). My problem is some of the roms aren’t showing up in Emulation Station. Specifically SNES. I have 9 Roms in the folder (including 3 Super Metroid to see if it was an issue with the file), plugged in the USB to auto-transfer, and only 2 of the games show up. They’re all the same file format. I’ve looked all over and can’t seem to find anything on getting them to show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
