I have created a NOOBS compatible image :)

This way I can dual boot between NOOBS and OpenELEC

I also made the NOOBS image use the proper RetroPie logo and description.

Very nice :)

See if this sheds any light on it:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=83317

specifically this:

Open /etc/modules :

sudo nano /etc/modules

And add the line you use to load the driver :

For single controller:

mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1

For dual controllers:

mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1,2

hi i have an ipad 2 under ios 7.1.2 and i have recently installed retroarch in order to play FFVII. i have also installed controllers for all to pair my dualshock 4 to it and it’s responding very well. At least up until I try to actually play, the controller won’t work at all. i also tryed with another rom but same result. i’d like to know if there are specific options to setup in order to make this work.

thanks

[quote=17554]Thanks trimmtrabb. I’ve done some more tweaking and still can’t get player 2 controls to work. The file you mentioned (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg) seems to only specify the keyboard controls. Then it has these two lines to fetch the configs for my Xin-Mo controller:

input_autodetect_enable = “true”
joypad_autoconfig_dir = “/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/”

I’ve looked in that folder and specifically found the Xin-Mo config which I can edit to my heart’s content. What I’m finding confusing is there seems to be three separate places where I could potentially put the code for player 2. Also I’m not sure whether I need to specify the input_player2_joypad_index, the input_device or the input_driver. I’ve tried putting my player 2 code in all these places to no avail:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg

In the interest of completeness here’s the code I’ve been trying:

input_player2_b_axis = “-2″
input_player2_y_btn = “18″
input_player2_select_btn = “19″
input_player2_start_axis = “+3″
input_player2_up_btn = “12″
input_player2_down_btn = “13″
input_player2_left_btn = “11″
input_player2_right_btn = “14″
input_player2_a_axis = “+2″
input_player2_x_axis = “-3″

These inputs are definitely correct as I’ve successfully used them to control player one as a test that everything was working. No dice for player two though.

What am I doing wrong??

Run the joypad config:

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

(should be -j 0, try -j 1 if it doesn’t work)

Then edit retroarch.cfg in configs/all/ and copy player 1 controls but change 1 to 2. Then you need to specify which device player 2 uses, add this above p2 controls:

input_player2_joypad_index =

(should be 1)

To list the registered joystick devices with: ls /dev/input

i have the same problem…when i change the Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg (input_enable_hotkey_btn = “16” input_exit_emulator_btn = “10”) he leave the emulators with that buttons.But how i have to change the cfg to play with two players?

this is my Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg:

input_device = “Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade”
input_driver = “udev”
input_b_btn = “10”
input_y_btn = “12”
input_select_btn = “6”
input_start_btn = “16”
input_up_axis = “-3”
input_down_axis = “+3”
input_left_axis = “-2”
input_right_axis = “+2”
input_a_btn = “11”
input_x_btn = “13”
input_l_btn = “14”
input_r_btn = “15”

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “16”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “10”

Update:
-I modified retropie setup script.
-You can build and run emulationstation. Emulationstation starts only if X is running. It runs slow as hell, because it uses mesa GL libs. GLES builds will not start at the moment. Should be a emulation station problem.
-You can build and run Retroarch. At 720p the framerate drops to 40-50Hz. Shaders cannot be used (too slow). 480p or 576p should be fast enough.
-The Mali kernel module r3p0 is too old. Only one core of the MALI400MP2 dual GPU is used. If the kernel module r3p2-relxx could be build the framerate should be much better.

Try editing the individual emulator config files. Each one of those overrides the general one and may have something else set as the default.

Since you are french and I am a proud Quebecker :

Je ne peux pas t’aider pour ton problème acec MAME

pour FBA download un romset cps1 ou cps2 et met le dans home/pi/retropie/rom/fba/

Et ta manette de ps3 tu la branche et retroarch a déjà les bon driver pour la faire marcher, le seul problème c’est que pour chaque bouton que tu entre ton sixaxis va donner 2 autre input donc tu peux pas rouler le joyconfig. Tu dois éditer le es_input par toi même et le retroarch.cfg aussi.

Tiens pour t’aider copie ça pour emulation station

“<_input name=”a” type=”button” id=”13″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”b” type=”button” id=”14″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”down” type=”button” id=”6″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”left” type=”button” id=”7″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”menu” type=”button” id=”16″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”pagedown” type=”button” id=”10″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”pageup” type=”button” id=”11″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”right” type=”button” id=”5″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”select” type=”button” id=”12″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”up” type=”button” id=”4″ value=”1″ />
”

Et ça pour tes config de retroarch :

#### DualShock 3
input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_a_btn = “13”
input_player1_b_btn = “14”
input_player1_x_btn = “12”

Just setup today a X-Arcade Dualstick (not Tankstick) with USB adaptor, but needed to hack a little bit the source code of Xarcade2Jstick (very easy hack).

As of 4-21-14 it did not support the zin mo dual or single. I’ll have to check that out and see. But Iam willing to bet up and left still have issues.

I’ve just found that the Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade usb joystick controller works straight out of the box now in v2.X without the need to install separately – great work, thank you!

Xbox wired controller works great.

For the Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade I was pulling my hair out for a while wondering why up and left didn’t work but saw on the blog a workaround. Is this something that will be incorporated into v2 as standard?

Am loving the look of the Retrolink Snes controllers – think they will be my next purchase!

What do you get when you follow the commands given above (https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/retropie-not-recognizing-xarcade-dual-tank-stick/#post-10106)?

What does the command ls /dev/input show? If there are entries like js0, js1 etc. this indicates that the OS has registered joystick devices. If Xarcade2Jstick is properly running one of the jsX files represents player 1 and another one represents player 2 on the DualStick.

You can test these devices on OS level, e.g., with the command jstest /dev/input/js0. Adjust js0 to js1, js2 etc. accordingly.

This is without Xarcade2jstick installed. This is on raspberry pi model b. Xarcade DualJoyStick

Additionally, when I first setup RetroPie I registered a usb keyboard and both joysticks with their keyboard commands so they could navigate the menus, so I am not sure if that will cause extra input events below.

Most of the audio and video settings can be edited in two ways.

1. Within emulationstation there is an “Input Configuration” screen, there is an option called RGUI, this is the retroarch configuration menu. Here you can edit pretty much everything, just remember that you need to “Save Config on Exit”

2. Edit the actual text in the .cfg file.
Many of the emulators are configured with one file, this file is called retroarch.cfg (and is the same one that is edited with the RGUI menu). The filepath is > /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Now you can edit this file within the terminal or you can connect to your P remotely and edit the file.

—————————
So far so good, now you need to know what to edit, basically you want to DISABLE video shaders.

The config line is video_shader_enable = " "
Between the quotation marks you can have two settings, “true” or “false”, basically on and off.

Now thats not all!

If you look in /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/ there is a folder some of the emulators, like nes and snes.

In those folders is another retroarch.cfg, what this one does is allow you to make additional changes for each individual emulator, so you could have filters and shaders on one, different audio settings for another, or a different joypad configuration for all of them, this makes customisation better so if you are having problems with performance in one emulator you can turn everything off, and in another turn everything on.

Go check each retroarch.cfg file for each emulator you are using in their respective folders. They may have video shaders enabled in that file, disable them if you want to turn it off.

Anyway I need breakfast, good luck!

Thats a good question.

I haven’t tried it, but it is possible.

NES, MasterSystem and MegaDrive are all configured with RetroArch with one configuration file, this means that the button config is the same.

The input file is here > /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarchinput.cfg

You can then make separate changes to each individual emulator by editing the configuration files.

For NES the file is located here> /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg

For MasterSystem > /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/mastersystem/retroarch.cfg

For MegaDrive > /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg

In each file you will need to type out the buttons you want to change, and then bind this to a button on your controller.

I only had the Tankstick for the development of Xarcade2Jstick. However, it should be possible to extend Xarcade2Jstick to also support the DualStick.

Could you post the output of the command sudo lsinput here?

If the command lsinput is unknown you can install this tool with sudo apt-get install -y input-utils.

What we are looking for is something similar to the output as shown below:
[gist id=”43dd12d8dcd8fe222abb”][/gist]

What about the DualJoyStick?
I have installed and followed the instructions and I can’t get my xarcade DualStick to work at all ;(

Hi Hodd

The code you have posted is in my mame.cfg.template file but not the mame.cfg file.

I found configuring the joystick mapping a lot easier by using the MAME UI. If you launch a rom, then press TAB on a keyboard, you will be presented with the MAME UI.

The first option “Input: General” will allow you to map buttons to events such as quit game and pause for every game. To adjust your mappings, select the input you want to configure, press Enter on your keyboard followed by a button on your joystick.

You can use the next option “Input: This Game” to configure mappings for individual games.

Hey there my problem is a little different. I’ve got my DualShock working completely in the Retroarch menus, but when I fire up a game I can’t do anything only the keyboard will get me out of the games. I’ve tried many different setups in /RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg but nothing seems to work when I’m in an emulator (I’m only using SNES and MAME)

What could I be missing?
