Hi,

Can you possibly create a img of this installation ready to use in berryboot?
Im searching for a good retropie img ready to use for my dual boot with openelec kodi.

Here we go again, I must apologies as well for waking this thread from the dead, but I to am experiencing the same symptoms, with a few added bonus issues.

Everything was working pretty good until.. I powered off my pi, walked away for a few hours, came back and the first thing I notice is I have no sound. luckily I was able to find a solution posted elsewhere for that, but I am still stuck on wonky hotkey bindings etc.

the symptoms are this:
select is not toggling hotkey functions.
start exits the emulator regardless of a hotkey.
select is acting like a turbo or fast forward button or something…
I have tried with and without quotations.
I did go through the autoconfig on first boot.
I did go though the command line autoconfig as well as per another post on this site.
I ended up with multiple lines for the same thing in the config file, so I cleaned them out so only one instance of a controller shows up.
I manually assigned controller 2 by copy/paste controller 1 and modifying the appropriate lines/values (I think) as per another post on this site.

things about me:
yes I am completely inexperienced with Linux, like step by step, hold my hand, don’t assume I know anything kind of new.
yes I am new to Raspberry Pi – just got the new pi 2 in the mail this week.
no I actually am very experienced with computers, just not Linux.
yes I know how to use Teh Google’s, this is the best source of information I have found on the topic. (c;

Please Help! – the code box below has a copy of my config file (the only one I know of) and it is also available as an attachment to this post!

**EDIT** Browse button to attach a file does not seem to be responding…. so there is no attachment…

**ANOTHER EDIT** FYI the controller is a Gravis GamePad Pro – nearly identical to a PS1 controller without analog sticks… aaannndd I got the attachment browse button to work….

…BTW Scraping seems to only go for about 10 files or so then freezes…. anyone know what’s up with that? at this rate it’ll take years of starting and stopping the process…

Not to kick a dead horse, but it’s worth researching what individual components of a script do before going ahead and just executing it. If you’ve got something mostly working for you already it’s better to figure out what doesn’t work rather than just blanket apply a script designed for a vanilla image. Not that you asked for help (which you probably should have done… politely) but to fix you might try mounting the SD card on another computer and reverting es_systems.cfg.

I’m using a logitech dual action.

I have managed to compile ResidualVM from source and get Grim Fandango running in X. I have a Pi B model overclocked at turbo and it’s too slow to be playable. I’d appreciate it if somebody could test it on a RPi 2. It would give me a reason to get one myself.

The instructions to build from source are at the link below.

Building ResidualVM

You can get game data at the links below.

Demo version of Grim Fandango

Patch to be copied to grimdemo folder

You can launch ResidualVM with the command in a terminal session in X.

residualvm
The UI is similar to ScummVM so select Add Game… and browse to and select the grimdemo folder. Select Start to launch the game.

I’d be interested to hear how it runs on the Pi 2. Also, if anybody can get it to run from the console, that would be great as we can integrate it into Retropie. When I tried to launch residualVM from the console I get an OpenGL not available error.

I have set the maximum image space used for boxart for each system individually. You say that Mega CD does display the UK boxart too small? I will have a look at it.

My recommendation would be to stop trying to fight RetroPie for control of the configs. Why do you want to change the location of the configs? Why do you want to enable save on exit? If you don’t want RetroPie to be RetroPie, install Raspbian and then install RetroArch on top of that and be done. It will act just like your Windows installation of RA.

If you take my advice, then the layout of the configs is pretty straight forward. /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg is the main config file

The individual system configs, for example /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg override the main config file (just like it says in each of these files)

# All settings made here will override the global settings for the current emulator core

if you run jstest and determine your button mappings you can modify the main config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg. For example, if you have two buttons to spare and don’t want to use a hotkey:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = nul
input_menu_toggle_btn = "14"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "15"

RetroPie is designed to not use the RetroArch GUI – RetroPie is designed to be a 10 foot interface and the RA GUI is not a 10′ friendly interface. If you want to make changes, settings should be made in the config files, settings made via the GUI will not be saved. If you try to change that behavior, you’ll have to hack up ES – the commands it uses to launch RA are hard coded with the locations of the cfg files it is designed to use.

The best mame for arm is mame4droid (139.1 u romset) if works in 1000 mhz/dual- 700 Mg ram android tablet. (with more 8000 roms).

In android are 37b5 for low spec. smartphones and 139 for medium/premium.
In raspberry are 37b5 for raspberry Pi A/B/B+/2 B. I think is time for 139 for Raspberry 2 B.

have you tried updating the binary (updating retropie-setup script first, then menu 5 to install individual emulators, then choosing gpsp) ?

If that still doesn’t work I’ll have to check myself – never actually tested this emulator :)

I noticed this behavior with recent builds of blueZ. you probably should think about removing qtsixa and use native support of ps3 controller in recent blueZ (i don’t have a tutorial for raspbian, but this tutorial for gentoo probably can help you)

well, there is no longer an “update binaries” function. you can update individual emulators though, or do a new binary install (which could wipe some settings, so good to backup first).

What version of retropie did you use for this?

when i went to copy the cfgs across the directories where different.
I don’t have a configs folder in /home/pi/RetroPie but theres one in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup. so i copyed the files across into there but the controllers only seem to work in the Emulation station interface and when i try to play a game they don’t work.

I’m using Retropie v2.3
with 2 joytech PSX Dual Analogue Controllers like this

and the Dual usb adapter mentioned
Any Ideas?

Due to the RetroPie project being an ongoing project, there are always new developments as new technology and code changes emerge (especially once the Rpi 2 was released.) We’re in the thick of it and it may take some time for the community to sort out bugs and come up with a comprehensive process that fits most people’s needs. The world of Linux based programming has typically been identified with a very supportive community with a strong emphasis for the individual to learn to solve problems themselves and then pass along their learning to help others. This forum is no different.

While there may be a few main developers of a project to moderate and maintain the source code, many people in the community contribute to this project. You have to understand that they are doing this voluntarily and aren’t being compensated other than meager donations people choose to give. They could use their expertise to monetize on this project but they provide it free to share with everyone- because they are good people. I for one thank Petrockblog, Buzz, Gizmo98, floob and all the others for their hard work on the project so that we can have the opportunity to relive the nostalgia of our childhood.

That being said, I can understand that it may be frustrating at first to figure out the world of Raspberry Pi and RetroPie and how everything is laid out, and I would also agree that the Wiki can be improved- but it starts with us.

I’m currently working on setting up my Raspberry Pi 2 that I just received in the mail and I am creating a simple blog illustrating the steps I have taken to get it working, once I finish I would be more than happy to share the link with you. (and I will try to update the Wiki if at all possible)

I used jstest to figure out my button numbers.

Looking at your config, I did not include input device or driver in my config.
input_device = “Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade”
input_driver = “udev”

I also have my axis for player 1 and 2 reversed

This is what you have
input_player1_up_axis = “-2″
input_player1_down_axis = “-3″
input_player1_left_axis = “+3″
input_player1_right_axis = “+2″
input_player2_up_axis = “+0″
input_player2_down_axis = “-1″
input_player2_left_axis = “-0″
input_player2_right_axis = “+1″

This is what I have
input_player1_up_axis = “-1″
input_player1_down_axis = “+1″
input_player1_left_axis = “-0″
input_player1_right_axis = “+0″
input_player2_joypad_index =”0″
input_player2_up_axis = “-3″
input_player2_down_axis = “+3″
input_player2_left_axis = “-2″
input_player2_right_axis = “+2″
