I have noticed that before I run the PS3 set up that if I run /etc/init.d/bluetooth status The bluetooth is up and running but after the PS3 install if I run /etc/init.d/bluetooth status it shows failed even with a reboot
than if I uninstall the PS3 controller Bluetooth is up and running when I run /etc/init.d/bluetooth status

Also when after the PS3 install when prompted to Unplug the USB connecction to PS3 controller I get a error message sometimes
Traceback (most recent call last): File “/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/joy2key.py” line 49, in <module> event = js_fd.read(event_size) IOError: [Errno 19] No such device

Note I have experienced this with retropie 3.2 and 3.2.1 multiple clean instals
I also test this with a CSR 4.0 BT Dongle and A Plugable BT 4.0 dongle
also tested with and with out powered USB hub

Hello,

My Pi2 is part of a 2 player bartop using 2 USB controllers which I nearly have configured nicely.

I want to at times take the Pi2 out and use on the big TV, but then use 2 xbox wireless controllers instead.

Can I have both these setups or is it best to just clone my sd card onto a spare one and just swap over when required?

Thanks

Hi all, sorry if this is an old topic but I just can’t seem to find the answer I’m looking for.I am very new at all this so apologies in advance. The issue I am faced with is getting my non genuine ps controller working wirelesly over Bluetooth, seems to work fine plugged in, Bluetooth works also just not together, I am able to grab a genuine ps3 controller (that hasn’t even been plugged into the unit before) pair up straight away then just had to configure in retropie like any new controller.if I look up my configuration files for controlles it has both the genuine and non genuine files for both usb and wireless.Retropie is up to date running 3.1 or something along those lines, and all info I find on this subject seems to be a year or more old.any help would be much appreciated.

I can see networks and have tried various methods of connecting to various wifi networks.

I have a Raspberry Pi 2, running RetroPie 3.2.1 in a BerryBoot Multi boot (alongside OpenELEC and Kali)

I have tried editing the wpa_supplicant.conf file and also using the wizard in the RP setup script. What could i be doing wrong? I can connect fine in my other OSes.

Please help. I cannot seem to find anyone else having this issue.

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 32gb USB stick to store my roms on.

Copied everything I wanted to the stick, make a symlink with the following command (as somebody else suggested in the forums):

ln -s /media/usb/roms/ ~/RetroPie/roms

After a reboot the roms were seen and all was well…exceeeeept:

NES/SNES/Megadrive/gba just will not load. runcommand.log is empty.
I expected at this point that none of the emulators would work but much to my surprise FBA and the PSX roms loaded fine.

Also it seems the Selph’s Scraper has the path hardcoded into it and it will not fall for the symlink trick.

Any ideas on the matter?

Thanx!

Id like to use a USB Soundbar with my RetroPie build – doesnt seem to work at the moment – most folks struggle with HDMI and regular outputs I guess – maybe a bad idea. Anyone got any suggestions on getting it working – specifically with Mame4All really?

I have a generic PS3 controller I am trying to configure in 3.2.1. I configured it in emulation station and just in case I installed the PS3 driver even though I am just using USB and no blue tooth.

The joysticks configured correctly in the emulation station input setup. However, they don’t do anything in emulation station.

When I start Ape Escape on the PlayStation it tells me a dualshock controller is not inserted and the joysticks don’t function in game either.

How do I fix this?

Hi there. I have been having issues with the arcade controls that I am using for my Retropie build.

First I tried this usb controller: http://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Game-Controller-Interface-MAME/dp/B00F1YQ3DI/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1446843896&sr=1-1&keywords=arcade+usb
When I was having issues with that one, I tried this controller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UUROWWK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 but I ended up seeing the exact same thing in the end.

I have been able to get both recognized as joysticks. Both are working fine in Emulationstation. Both register fine with jstest. However, when I run Mame or NES emulators (and probably the others, but these are the 2 I am trying right now), I get a behavior on the buttons where they appear to think they are being held down all the time (sort of).

As an example, when I’m trying Double Dragon, I can play fine for a bit and then all buttons will just stop responding (the joystick directions continue fine though). However, if I push in kick and hold it, then the other buttons start responding again as long as I have it held in. As soon as I release it, all the other buttons stop responding again. If I go into MAME configuration via hitting tab and re-assign the buttons, they will function for a while until the behavior returns.

No matter what I do in jstest, I cannot get anything like this to happen. They always register fine on/off as I am pressing them and never become non-responsive. I saw the thread on the directional auto-fire, but I don’t think that this is the same thing since the joystick controls never have any issue, just the buttons.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Let me know if there is any additional info or logs I could supply that might help.

Hi

Im loosing the configuration for the snes controller every time i go into a game and every time i come out from the retropie settings menus. Its rly strange.

The device configuration always shows up when i start up the retropie.

I got a keyboard connected to but it only works in the settings menus, not in the normal menu. They keyboard works fine in roms tho strangely enough..

Well i allso got problem with roms running in slow motion, the screen going crazy when i have usb adapter connected and all kinds of other problems.. but maybe we can take that in another thread.

Thanks

I have all of my roms on a 64Gb stick that makes rom insertion to fresh installs a breeze. Awesome feature btw. It doesn’t sync the saveatates however, and I think that would rule. Apologies if I missed something and it should already be doing this, but is there a way to enable that? Plug in my memory stick for a minute and all the savestates sync up too?

Hey guys, wondering if anyone successfully bound a fast forward feature to any button (preferably the PS “13” button) without a hotkey. I have already successfully done this via hotkey.

Basically I would like to press the pad and will fast forward right away.

As an FYI I’m using:

Pi Model: 2
RetroPie Version Used: 3.2
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices Connected: PS4 Controller

Also non-related question: Why does the Xbox360 wired controller have 2 gamepads? Whenever I load a ROM, it appears with “Xbox Gamepad (userspacedriver) #2 configured on port #2” and then “Xbox Gamepad (userspacedriver) configured on port #1” follows afterwards. Any way to clear the second one or is this normal?

I did install the Xbox360 driver in the RetroPie-Setup.

Hi, as stated in the title I am using retrogame by adafruit and the dpad is working well! However I followed all the instructions on the readme and everything but the buttons still don’t work! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: anything you can help with that would be great!

Here’s my code, seems good?
// Input Output (from /usr/include/linux/input.h)
{ 25, KEY_LEFT }, // Joystick (4 pins)
{ 9, KEY_RIGHT },
{ 10, KEY_UP },
{ 17, KEY_DOWN },
{ 11, KEY_LEFTCTRL }, // A/Fire/jump/primary
{ 23, KEY_LEFTALT }, // B/Bomb/secondary
{ 8, KEY_ESC }, // start
{ 7, KEY_F1 }, // select
// For credit/start/etc., use USB keyboard or add more buttons.
{ -1, -1 } }; // END OF LIST, DO NOT CHANGE

Hey RetroPie’rs,

I am facing an issue where I’ve recently updated to 3.2 and I cannot get past the ES Controller Config Welcome screen. I’ll state my setup and known issues.

RPi2/Rasbian Wheezy/RetroPie 3.2 with a setup where the system boots up on SD card but then transfers to a hard-drive and runs off of that. Last working ES system was before update and it was 3.0 – fully working.

The system starts up and auto loads ES, where the program detects controllers, but when i press and hold a button the name of the controller does not show up, nor does it start the configuration GUI. I am forced to hard reset.

I’ve updated the setup script, i’ve rerun the binary installation, I’ve manually setup the retroarch cfg files through the setup for both the keyboard and controllers. I’ve gone into ./emulationstation and looked into the es_input.cfg file, which looks quite empty due to not being able to follow the prompts. I’ve replaced it with my .bak file that I used on 3.0, and it immediately overwrote it once i reset with the same half-empty file.

The keyboards/controllers worked perfectly in 3.0, and they also work flawlessly when not in ES. I can get the name of the controller or keyboard to show up if I hit F4 on boot to stop ES from loading, and then entering ES. The name will show up at the bottom, but holding any key/button will not prompt the configuration GUI.

I assumed it would be a cmdline.txt issue upon startup where ES is loading before the config file, but that should be fixed by re-entering ES after boot, which does not solve the problem.

If you have an idea, feel free to let me know. This problem needs a fresh pair of eyes.

Appreciate any help,

Retroman33
