First I just want to say thank you feederchain for this kernel, after a week of banging my head against the wall I finally got player 2 working.

The only problem I’m having now is player 2 start/select buttons are not working now, they work in the emulation station gui but not in the emulators themselves.
Did anyone else have similar issues?

I’m using the xin mo dual usb and taken the following steps so far:
1 Installed the kernel
2 Applied usb quirk to cmd.text
3 Configured joysticks and buttons in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

jstest is showing all buttons working as they should and it’s only when using emulators player 2 start select will not work.
I have tried configuring snes emulator manually putting all my control mappings above the #include line and still nothing.

Any help on this would be much appreciated guys.
Thanks

[quote=120883]Yes that would be ideal I would think. At the very least would be worth even just adding a default config to the installer with the ibuffallo, ps3, and Xbox 360 configs. Might be a bit down the road though as there are more pressing matters to attend to currently.

While using a controller to navigate Kodi, out of habit I’ve found myself pressing SELECT+START to exit.
So, I added a line below for each controller. Now pressing SELECT+START exits Kodi perfectly :)

[quote=120400]Fantastic! I’ve updated the wiki with your ibuffalo config

herbfargus,
I’ve found that I can add configs for multiple controller types at once. I’ve tested with these two and both work. We could add many to cover the most common controller types, or maybe in the future have this automatically updated as controllers are registered in ES.

some no name usb ps3 lookalike controller but it gets detected as

input_device = “DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick “

Hi smithers,
Just wanted to say your builds are immensely awesome, I’ve used them often in the past, now I’ve switched to making my custom OSes and use your NOOBS files, which are PERFECT.

I’ve tested with RPi2 and RPi3 and it works great so far.

Main reason for custom OSes is that I want to pack a shutdown button script which I trigger via GPIOs, then drill a hole in the case and glue a momentary button. It’s easier on the power connector, and not-so-techy friends and family can shutdown without the risk of filesystem corruption. And I don’t have to explain SSH.

I can’t believe loading OSes from USB still hasn’t made it in the official NOOBS release, as it’s incredibly useful. I’ve seen somewhere that you do actually refer to an “official build of NOOBS USB version”, where can one find this, if it exists?

I’ve tried PINN, which is a NOOBS fork, yet not NOOBS, (https://github.com/procount/pinn), but I couldn’t switch to another OS with it for some reason. Installed the OS, but not displayed it as an option afterwards.

In any case, you’ve said that you’re using a “dirty workaround” in order to support RPi3, and in the PINN release I see that there’s a rpi3 overlay. Now, I can’t pretend to understand how NOOBS works, I haven’t looked at the code at all, just thought that it might give you an idea if you’re still working on something like that.

Cheers, and keep bringing the joy!

EDIT: Also, have a gander at this:
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/os_list.json
…and the subsequent relevant partition files etc.
If you’re already hosting the tarballs, this could be used for a network install. Not sure whether it uses local storage or cache/RAM for this, so it may still be keeping the files on the SD card, which wouldn’t be that useful.
EDIT2: After I JUST wrote this, I noticed there is a new official NOOBS version from today, if it makes any difference.

Hey, I’d like to reactivate this thread. I’ve been working on migrating an earlier 3.x setup to a Raspberry Pi 3 with the latest Jessie bits, and I pretty much have everything working, except I am hitting exactly this same 5-second delay thing in Advmame. This occurs even on the Pi 2 using the same SD card, so it’s not a Pi 3 specific problem.

I notice that the delay occurs in both Advmame 1.2 and 1.4, and not so much in 0.9, as was described above. However, I got exactly nowhere in terms of curing it via any of the steps above. I can even blacklist snd-bcm2835 so that the built-in sound driver never loads and the _only_ ALSA sound adapter is the USB one, but I still get the big delay. However, I also noticed that it seems to somehow be related to emulator startup – sounds that occur right after boot (for example in the btime ROM) play at a lower pitch than they should. This gave me an idea, and I started playing around with the various latency and sound sync options in the .rc file, but I still didn’t get anywhere, until…

If I use “debug_rawsound yes” option in the advmame .rc files, then yes, the problem seems to go away. However, as this disables the sound sync code altogether, I suspect that the sound will start to drift over time, so I wasn’t thrilled with this being the actual solution. Finally, I just changed the sound option to use SDL instead of ALSA, and that seemed to fix it as well.

I bought a similar usb dual arcade device on ebay. I thkught it was the Xin-Mo type, but when I hooked it up to the RasPi, it said the type was ‘JUYAO_2_PLAYER_ARCADE’ type. Mine has 22 pins on both sides of the board for each of the 2 players. My issue is that I want to play Mortal Kombat or Street fighter, but I can only get 2 kick and 2 punch buttons to work along with the joysticks. Those games should have 3 punck and kick buttons. Does anyone know how I can change the config to make all 3 kick and punch buttons to work?
Appreciate any advice.

I’m also having similar issues using these PowerA ProEx controllers that work well with other emulators.

emu.cfg
controller_USBDownlo01.50ProEx.cfg

I haven’t edited these files yet because I do not know what values to use.

I did read the dreamcast setup page in the wiki but am still stumped as to how to get this working.

oh and I have both RPis powered from 2.4A usb supply so I doubt it’s a power issue.

I tried gizmo steps. now I can fully configure my controller but won’t work without the usb cable

OK problem solved.
The udev configuration should use the name that “evtest” outputs. evtest is not installed by default, so i just apt-get install evtest to get it.

I fixed the rule like this:
ATTRS{name}=="D_R_M JUYAO Dual Arcade",ACTION=="add",MODE="0666",ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}="0",ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

And i added a “usbquirks” item to the /boot/cmdline.txt file (at the end of the existing line, not on a new line!) :
usbhid.quirks=0x314:0x326:0x040

[quote=120164]I’ve update the kodi wiki page with a working module to install kodi 16 based on your post. (experimental of course use at your own risk) it’s compiled with joypad support so you can make xml files for joypad configurations (I added a small template to the wiki too) I’m using it right now and it seems to be working.

Thank you herbfargus! This is working perfectly! I’ve been wanting the ability to navigate Kodi with my controller for a long time.

This is my input for the iBuffalo SNES controller:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
  <global>
    <joystick name="USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad  "> <!-- iBuffalo SNES -->
      <button id="1">Select</button><!-- A -->

	  <button id="3">Stop</button><!-- X -->
	  <button id="4">ContextMenu</button><!-- Y -->
	  <button id="5">Rewind</button><!-- L -->
	  <button id="6">FastForward</button><!-- R -->
	  <button id="7">Info</button><!-- SELECT -->
	  <button id="8">PlayPause</button><!-- START -->
      <axis id="1" limit="+1">Right</axis>
      <axis id="1" limit="-1">Left</axis>
      <axis id="2" limit="-1">Up</axis>
      <axis id="2" limit="+1">Down</axis>
    </joystick>
  </global>
</keymap>

It’s a hair better than my Pi 2 on USB running at 1050Mhz, but I’ll be wanting to over clock my Pi 3 when I can. None the less, it IS an improvement, and about what I expected out of 1200Mhz.

Thanks Steve, i’ve install via usb and everything is working fine.

Now it’s booting fine on a pi3 but a 8gb sd card isn’t enough :( it needs 6721mb to install both openelec and retropie and I only have 6591mb with the files on the sd card guess I need bigger sd card or usb.

Pi 3’s came in today. I’m about to plug in my USB stick and see the results!!! :)

Just completed the install and all went well.
Definitely nothing wrong with the archive (installed on a Pi2 from micro sd & usb)
