    As I have said before, using only the “usbquirk method” didn’t work for me. And thus I created this guide, so if the Xin-Mo doesn’t work with only the “usbquirk method” use the whole guide.

    Hi!

    [quote=121304]I need your help, I tried figuring out which usb was which.

    When I type lsusb I get:

    Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04f3:0103 Elan Microelectronics Corp. ActiveJet K-2024 Multimedia Keyboard
    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 16c0:05e1 Van Ooijen Technische Informatica Free shared USB VID/PID pair for CDC devices
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

    I have a hunch my xin mo is:
    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 16c0:05e1 Van Ooijen Technische Informatica Free shared USB VID/PID pair for CDC devices

    When I tried the usbquirk method, nothing changed.

    EDIT: Something did change, my buttons act like there is nothing assigned to them now.

    [/quote]

    Yes, 16c0:05e1 is the correct one, the whole text string should look like: usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

    What Raspberry pi and RetroPie version are you using? And have you applied the kernel fix?

    Out of curiosity what was the USB labeled as? I have five listings that show up on lsusb and none of them look like they would belong to the xin mo haha.

    I tried lsusb -t and I have sorting out to do.

    I just ssh’d in from my computer and removed my usbs to figure it out.

    [quote=121195]hey Guys could u plz help me?!
    I got a raspberry PI 2+B and also a 3 on both ones I canÄt fix my Xin-Mo Arcade Stickproblem. I got also the Problem, that Player 1 is also controlling Player 2 and the other way around.
    I didn’t try the fix kernel, caue it was just testet with the PI 1 and PI 2 but not B+, so I am scared like the other guys before me with the PI 3 to brick it.

    Is there anyother solution?!?

    Thanks

    The B+ is the same as Raspberry pi 1, just more USB-ports. So this guide will work for you:-)

    Can tell us where you bought your Xin-Mo? Because that solution never worked for me before, tried it several times. Maybe it is fixed with 3.6? Can someone else confirm?

    my Problem is follow:

    I configure Player 1 dn 2 via retroarch. The index was on both Players the same (#0), but then the sticks doesn’t work. Then I configure Player 1 via emulationstation and go after that to retroarch to look up the devices.
    Player 1 and 2 gotstill the same, but now INDEX (#1). Now the Sticks work, but I am still controlling both Players simultanious with the sticks.

    Thanks for any help I am freaking out

    Thanks for the links and recommendations guys. I’ve previously considered modifying an existing fight stick but they rarely go sale here and the Madcatz TE fight sticks are difficult to come by here in Australia and they’re not cheap either – even pre-owned.

    For now, the case is really my second priority as am more concerned about the electronic side of this project and hoping there was a step by step guide that somebody had created that could be easy to follow for beginners. I’m referring more about wiring. I really like the simplicity of this project and how it avoids using USB encoders or soldering. It’s just a shame that it doesn’t go into extensive details on parts and the process involved:

    Topic: NeoGeo X Arcade Stick is not detected

    in forum Controller Configuration in RetroPie

    Participant

    Hello! I have a raspi2 and NeoGeo X Gold system, with a recreation of the original AES stick, but using USB. Win10 detects this device as a USB-HID Gamepad, and I can configured it with Xppader. In contrast, my MAME32 does not detect the stick…

    It is only to say, that my arcade stick works good with some inconsistences.

    When I try to connect my NGX stick to the raspi2, Emulestation does not detect this arcade. Only I have connected this stick and emulestation tells me that NO CONTROLLERS DETECTED.

    Someone could I help me? Thank you very much!

    Have your tried the built-in wifi? If so, within 10min I can almost guarantee you’ll lose a ping or more especially if your CPU is busy. Though I did find that having too many devices plugged into the usb port exacerbates the issue, especially if you use a 10′ long usb extension cable like I do. Probably a power thing, my guess is if under med-high CPU load and a few peripherals (w/o external power) are plugged in it starts shutting down power to the wifi before anything else.

    I’m working on finding or acquiring a powered usb hub (which I know is kind-of the golden rule with Pi’s) to see if that helps things along.

    lmao thanks man, i saw metadata and i assumed it was only if i scraped a game and wanted to remove the info. i dont think the option to delete a game should be in there. i have one more question this is something that happened just now, i went into RPiConfig and my controller, im assuming cause its connected by bluetooth couldnt be used in that menu anymore so i tried start/select to see if itll get me back in the main menu, but it instead selected the first option which was “Binary install” or “binary update” or something. anyways it seemed to be reinstalling everything and i panicked and turned it off and on from the wall. Since then ive gotten a rainbow square icon on the top right corner of the screen which ive googled and it seems its an under-voltage issue, probably due to my power adable with the on/off switch on the usb cable. However it 100% wasn’t there before i done the binary install thing accidentally. Should i just replace the PSU with the official RPi one or do you think ive done some damage by turning it off midway through the binary install and should reflash my card? sorry for the essay lol.

    Topic: USB HID PlayStation 4-port adapter

    Participant

    I’m trying to get a USB HID PlayStation 4-port adapter working with RetroPie 3.6 on a 512MB Raspberry Pi B.

    The device is picked up by the kernel just fine: I can see from dmesg that it’s recognized.

    [ 2.025324] hid-generic 0003:0925:8884.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [HID 0925:8884] on usb-20980000.usb-1.2/input0

    Emulation Station sees this device as a single gamepad even if two devices are connected, but that’s OK for the time being. I can configure the device easily and navigate EmulationStation just fine with it.

    Here is the relevant section of es_input.cfg:

    <inputConfig type=”joystick” deviceName=”HID 0925:8884″ deviceGUID=”03000000250900008488000000010000″>

    <input name=”x” type=”button” id=”0″ value=”1″ />
    <input name=”y” type=”button” id=”3″ value=”1″ />
    </inputConfig>

    I cannot get this controller recongized anywhere within RetroArch, however. I don’t get any yellow message on the screen when any emulator starts – the only input source RetroArch seems to be aware of is the keyboard.

    My retroarch.cfg: http://pastebin.com/hkDMqDPF

    I have tried both udev and hid for input drivers – no luck.

    I have tried to manually config the controllers from within RetroArch but the ports always show up as “N/A”.

    Any advice/suggestions?

    jona1975
    Participant

    Hi, I did move the rom folder to a USB3 128Gb Sandisk key to have several systems’ full rom sets available. Used the symbolic link way.It works, also scraping did work. But every time emulation station starts, it takes at least 10 minutes at 100% CPU util to, I believe, scan the ROM folders.
    I’ve understood it’s necessary to save the gamelist at closure (to save stats and more), but is there any way to prevent the scan during the startup, and to force it manually only when necessary?

    Found this thread but never resolved apparently:
    https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/370

    Anybody aware of a solution?

    Thanks a lot

    I have a raspberry pi 3 and v3.6, kernel killed it. But turns out, you don’t need the Kernel :) For me, Emulation station picked up one player immediately, and it works in RetroArch emulators and MAME (That I’ve tested on a limited basis so far), apparently just need the usbquirk cmdline.txt mod to get two players and you’re set

    Hi All,

    Love to get some help here as I feel like I’ve plowed hours into getting my controllers working. I have 2 genuine SNES controllers that are connecting via a USB adapter such as this:

    The controllers are detected and usable in Retropie-Setup and any similar GUI menus but aren’t detected via Emulation Station or RetroArch. I’ve tried using all available drivers in RetroArch to no avail. Details:

    Everything works great, until i go grab dinner or something that takes about the same amount of time. Now my controller is no longer working. Turning it off and then turning it on again does not help, it wont connect. It wont connect with usb cable plugged in either.

    I havn’t tested any other game than Ocarina of Time on N64 (since it is awesome!)

    The only solution I’ve come up with is sudo reboot and that sucks.

    Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    Okay I know these have probably already been asked multiple times but I can’t seem to find anything. I got my raspberry Pi a couple weeks back everything is set up the way I want bar 2-3 things that are annoying me. Mainly:

    1. Is it safe to turn off front the PowerPoint when you’ve performed a shutdown from emulation station or do I need to do the whole “Sudo shutdown -h” thing every time? I don’t want to add/solder anything to the Pi I’m to scared with stuff like that. I bought an after market power supply with a switch on the USB cable not sure that’s any safer?

    2. I’ve been trying to delete games via the winscp app, it’s killing me cause some games work and some games give me an “error 3” something or other message every time and I don’t know why.

    3. What’s the best way to scrape games the built in one gave me way too many problems.

    Thanks in advance and sorry for the n00by questions.

    Topic: Advice/Suggestions on a simple and solder-less arcade stick build!

    in forum New to RetroPie? Start Here!

    Hi guys,

    I ‘ve been looking around the forum and really impressed with some of the builds that people are creating and been wanting to do something similar for the past 2 or so years but I’ve never had the courage to. Not looking at a full arcade cabinet but a portable 1 player stick that can hold the raspberry pi. Most of the plan builds I see don’t go into details on where to order parts from or are not novice friendly.

    I was hoping somebody could point me in the direction of something simple that doesn’t require any soldering and that I can put together myself ordering parts from ebay or other sites that will ship to Australia. Ideally, I would like LED buttons if that won’t over complicate things and if there is a way to plug everything in the GPIOs instead of using a USB encoder.

    I wouldn’t be able to create a case from scratch and some of the prices for pre-built kids are out of my price range and therefore planning to get somebody I know to build me something out of wood if I can get all the internals working first.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ooops. Just read that the topic starter has a Pi 3. That one has WiFi on chip. That should be a LOT better than the USB dongle I have in my Pi 1 and wrote about.

    Anyway after reading the first post there might be some other thing that you might try. I see that you are trying to connect to your Pi using the Pi’s “host name” which should be “retropie” according to you.

    1. I dunno how it’s on your Pi and your RetroPie version, but my Retropie hostname is ‘raspberrypi‘. You can see what the host name of a Linux machine is on the command line interface (CLI). Go to the CLI by pressing F4 in Emulation Station (that is, RetropPie). Then type the word “hostname” on the CLI and press Enter. It will echo the hostname of your machine. Or have a look at hte prompt of the CLI. You might notice that the prompt is of the format ‘user@hostname‘.
    2. You might want to connect to a Linux machine (RetroPie is Linux) using it’s IP address instead of its host name. In your case the IP address of your Pi is: 192.168.1.129
    3. Bear in mind that Linux (i.e. RetroPie) is very picky on which user can acces (that is, read or write to-) which folder. As far as I know you (that is: the user named “pi”) have only the rights to write files (that is, copy to) your home dir which is /home/pi.

    If your Pi has an IP address, in the WIFi dialog screen that you posted, then it is connected to your network. No need to reinstall RetroPi I think.

    Another tip: a console application for Windows with which you can connect to Linux machines via ssh is Putty I think (I haven’t used Windows for 10 years). Try to download and install that. Why? Because you can log into the CLI of your Pi from Putty. That way you do not have to walk to your Pi to “do things” on the CLI. You can remotely operate your Pi (if you speak a little Linux that is).

    In Putty try:

    ssh pi@192.168.1.129
    It will probably ask for user “pi” his password which is “raspberry”.

    Good luck! :)

    Just joined up to say many thanks for doing this, as a new user (Just got a Pi3) things like this make it super easy to get started. I read earlier this week you were planning to do the triple boot image and decided to wait for it, glad I did!

    A couple of quick questions if you don’t mind…

    1) I’ve only ever installed openelec to my micro SD card and have it set up the way I like, what’s the easiest way transfer the settings and database/fanart etc… across to this new build ?

    2) You mention installing to USB due to the size, I am currently using a 32gb Micro SD card and have no idea how to install to USB, is it worth doing to avoid any other problems (have read about corruption of the Micro SD)

    Again thanks for the build, sorry if the questions are obvious but I’ve read that much information lately I’ve managed to confuse it all!

    @nitrus – thanks! :) I too am surprised that the official NOOBS does not support USB install yet. To me it is an absolute must. Another great feature would be to allow more file format support, rather than just FAT32. That would open the door to making a full backup of my system and install it again via NOOBS. Maybe one day.

    Here is the Github page for the USB install version:

    Hi,

    I am putting a pi zero in a usb NES controller as a fun project and i have run into a power problem.

    I have managed to get RetroPi up and running and in-game to test my soldering and modification on the nes controller, but i need to power the pi with the GPIO as there is only a couple of mm clearance on the usb power socket.

    I have soldered a usb cable to the correct pins on the gpio and the system starts booting, but on the RetroPi splash screen the pi reboots and gets stuck in this cycle.

    After hunting through this forum i found a thread saying retro pi needed 2amps so i used a power brick capable of supplying 3.5amps and it had the exact same problem (the same power brick runs the pi fine through the normal usb power connector).

    i have also tried re-soldering the connections to gpio to make sure it isn’t that.

    If anyone can help i would appreciate it, otherwise i will have to cut a horrible looking hole in the controller to allow the cable and plug to come through :(

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    Machine: RPi3
    RetroPie version: 3.6

    quick question: it seemed my USB stick where I store my roms (SanDisk 32GB USB3) was slowing down the fuller it got. This was noticeable during file transfers and when loading certain systems.

    I had less than 1gb left on a 32gb stick and the speed just plummeted.

    Deleting some files seems to have fixed it back to normal.

    Is this a known issue for USB sticks? For Retropie?

    Just wondering!

    On the Steam site it says “USB 2.0 via Micro USB port (cable included)”. The word “compatible” is missing here!

    Anyway, I did some googling and indeed this thing is not the most PC friendly device on earth. It even appears not to work on Mac and people get “coupons” from Valve/Steam to make up for this until there’s a firmware upgrade to fix this. Yeah, right.

    Considering the fact that its intended platform (Steam Box) is based on Linux it is pretty pathetic that it doesn’t work out of the box on Linux. There are two posts of interest here:

    1. Steam admitting it doesn’t work out of the box and giving instructions on how to achieve Linux compatibility:
      http://steamcommunity.com/app/353370/discussions/0/490123197945710268/#c490123197945767207
    2. Same thing from a user’s perspective:
      http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Steam-Controller-Linux-Go

    They say you must create the file /lib/udev/rules.d/99-steam-controller-perms.rules and put hte following contents in it:

    #USB devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"
# Oculus HID Sensor naming and permissioning
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2833", MODE="0666"

    I’d recommend connecting only the Steam Controller after this and to test if RetroPie “found” the device with ye’ old:

    jstest /dev/input/js0
    (Install the joystick package in Linux w/: “sudo apt-get install joystick”)

    Good luck :)

    I’m having the same issue with ssh, but I’m using wifi and I read somewhere that the built-in wifi driver is having some issues on some OS flavors…maybe this one too. Are you using wifi and if so are you using the onboard wifi or a usb stick?

    Right now I’m not using nothing fancy, an old GameStop (MadCatz) 360 wired controller with a 10′ long usb extension cable. But I bought one of the new steam controllers and would love to get that working. Haven’t found a good step-by-step guide on how to get it going yet though. Please let me know if anyone knows of one.

    I swear I really, REALLY tried abolutely everything about it before even asking for help. I don’t know what to do about FTP that I haven’t done before, Samba-Shares also fails and USB works (roms transfering is perfect) but for the things I want to do (inserting BIOS and art boxes) USB transfering is not an option.

    -Im actually using Retropie 3.6 in Raspberry Pi 3.

    -This was the result of trying Shamba:

    -This was the result of trying FTP with WinSCP:

    It looks like the Raspberry is not connected to Wifi but…

    …it is. Because it clearly show it here. And the tutorial I was following said if both PC and Raspberry were connected to the same network would work (without the use of programs or installing anything on the Raspberry)

    I don’t know how to properly set Firewalls, making pings or things like that because im not into the computing thing, but ill try to make things step by step.

    Please help.
