Hello, I am trying to store ROMs on a 128gb Sandisk Cruzer Blade, but I am having difficulty just getting the Pi to recognize it, so I can’t even get to the step of changing paths.
As a test, I also tried an old 2gb drive and it was immediately recognized as USB0, Retropie populated it with the ROMs directory, and I was able to modify paths to point to the folder on USB0 and run ROMs from it.
I did everything on the 128gb that I did on the 2gb drive, but it did not work. Is there something I might have missed? Thanks.

Hello all,
Brand new to RetroPie, and to Raspberry Pi in general. I just picked up a Pi2 specifically to use as a dedicated Emulation device, and used the very straightforward LifeHacker article as my guide: http://bit.ly/1FYyDfZ
My setup is as follows:
– RetroPie v3.0 Beta2 installed from image
– Raspberry Pi 2
– Generic SNES USB controller (http://amzn.to/1E1hsnW)I’ve dropped a few roms over into appropriate directories, restarted the device and now those Emulators are in fact showing up in my main menu. Right now I have a few NES and SNES roms setup for testing.
I’ve gone through BOTH control pad configs– the initial EmulationStation config for the controller, as well as Configuration for RetroPie use. Once again, restarted device for configs to go active.
Now when I’m running emulated games — it seems that in any NES game like Super Mario Bros, I DO have use of both buttons that would correspond to the NES controller. However, it seems that in any SNES game, I ONLY seem to have use of the D-Pad and the B button — even though I’m quite certain the buttons are mapped correctly.
I’ve gone through the RetroPie Keyboard/Joystick setup multiple times, as well as SSH’d into the device and manually viewed the saved config file (USBGamepad.cfg) — and all button choices do appear to be correct.
I’ve verified In-Game on SNES games (using both Donkey Kong Country 1 & Donkey Kong Country 2 as my test titles) that only the B button and D-pad does seem to be active . I can jump using B, but can NOT hold down Y to run fast or to pick up barrels.
Any possible suggestions?
Hello, I’m using a 2-player USB Xin Mo controller on Retropie 3.0 Beta 2 on a Rasp Pi 2, and I have all the buttons working, but can not get the Player 2 joystick to work.
Since both players are connected through a single USB, I have read that I should be setting player1 and player2 to the same joypad_index in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and I need to explicitly define the button mappings. I used the “Configure RetroArch Keyboard/Joystick” to get the mappings, and got all unique values for the buttons, but both joysticks register the same axes: +1/-1/+0/-0. See attached.
Shouldn’t player2 show up as +3/-3/+2/-2, or something different from the other joystick? If I use the code below, which matches the values I got, then both sticks just control player 1.
I did connect to a PC and used the Control Panel and an NES emulator to confirm the controller does work correctly for both player 1 and player. Therefore I am confident this is not a hardware issue.
input_player1_joypad_index = 0 input_player1_b_btn = 2 input_player1_y_btn = 3 input_player1_select_btn = 8 input_player1_start_btn = 9 input_player1_a_btn = 1 input_player1_x_btn = 0 input_player1_l_btn = 4 input_player1_r_btn = 5 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_b_btn = 12 input_player2_y_btn = 13 input_player2_select_btn = 19 input_player2_start_btn = 18 input_player2_a_btn = 11 input_player2_x_btn = 10 input_player2_l_btn = 14 input_player2_r_btn = 15 input_player2_up_axis = +1 input_player2_down_axis = -1 input_player2_left_axis = +0 input_player2_right_axis = -0
Topic: What to buy
Hi all, I plan on buying a Pi 2 this week and had a few questions before I make my purchase.
From various tutorials and things I have read online while researching, I see that roms can be loaded from usb instead of the SD card. Should I spend less on the SD by getting a smaller card and spend more on a larger usb flash drive?
I plan on emulating all the 8 and 16 bit consoles, MAME, Neo Geo, and TG16 CD and Mega CD and maybe a few PSX games.
I plan on getting the Pi 2, case, micro sd and reader, hdmi cable, and a usb flash drive. I have a usb keyboard from an old desktop and a wired 360 pad. Anything else I would need or general advice?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
This is a .cfg I made for my Twin USB Adapter for PS2 controllers.
I followed the same scheme used in other Playstation controllers.
This is the adapter:
Its a plug n play adapter, no need to install drivers.If this isnt the right place to ask for this, please let me now.
Hope you can add it to RetroPie, especially RetroPie-Setup scripts.
Thanks
Last night I installed retropie on a fresh install of OSMC using the script available here:
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/installing-retropie-alongside-osmc-rc-the-easy-way/1921
So far, most everything appears to be working properly, but the USB ROM service isn’t. ROMS aren’t being automatically loaded into emulation station. When I create an empty retropie direct on my USB stick, retropie isn’t even populating the folder with empty ROM folders. When I was running just a plain Retropie install (no OSMC), the USB ROM service worked without issue. Here’s what I’ve tried to troubleshoot:
1. Manually enabling the ROM service in the Retropie Setup Script.
2. Rebooting the system several times.
3. Changing the paths in the es_systems.cfg.None of these steps have resolved the issue. I think part of the problem may be that I’m not booting directly into retropie with this configuration (booting into Kodi instead), and the path to the ROMS is a little bit different than what it would be if I was running retropie only (it’s “/home/osmc/RetroPie/roms/” instead of “/home/RetroPie/roms/.” Is there a configuration file I need to change to get the service working properly again?
Hi, I’m using original SNES + USB adapters on a Raspberry Pi Model B with version 3.0 of the RetroPie script. With the default install the resting position of the controller is off so I had to use the steps posted on here to recompile the kernel.
The d-pad and all the buttons on both controllers work as expected in Emulationstation and in all the emulators I’ve installed but I cannot get the hotkeys to work. Holding select and pressing start or any of the other triggers doesn’t do anything.
Here’s my controller config in /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs:
input_device = "USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad " input_driver = "udev" input_b_btn = "1" input_y_btn = "3" input_select_btn = "6" input_start_btn = "7" input_up_axis = "-1" input_down_axis = "+1" input_left_axis = "-0" input_right_axis = "+0" input_a_btn = "0" input_x_btn = "2" input_l_btn = "4" input_r_btn = "5" input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6" input_exit_emulator_btn = "7" input_shader_next_btn = "5" input_shader_prev_btn = "4" # Saves state. input_save_state_btn = "3" # Loads state. input_load_state_btn = "1" input_reset_btn = "2"
In /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg I’ve tried these two settings for this line as noted in another thread;
# input_enable_hotkey_btn = input_enable_hotkey_btn = tab
Hotkeys work from a keyboard but when I only have two SNES controllers plugged in they don’t work from controller 1.
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
Topic: NES and SNES USB INNEX
I am having issue with config the usb NES and SNES controllers everything works but the UP and Left on D pad is not reg at all. Want to know if there is a way to fix this or not thanks.
Hello,
I am using a pi 2 on Retropie 3.0 beta 2 and have most emulators setup but have yet to configure a gamepad. I have an old usb Logitech Dual Action (G-UD8), USB Xbox360 controller or a wireless Xbox360 controller with the PC wireless receiver.
I’m not sure where to start on how to install one of these, maybe one is easier than the other? Does Retropie include any drivers?
Thanks
Topic: Error Retropie 2.6
Hello!!!
Pi Model: 2 B
RetroPie Version Used: 2.6.0
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: Mouse, keyboard and PS3 controller (Via USB)
Controller used: PS3 controller (Via USB)
Error messages received: Black and white screenThe error occurs after executing any rom mame and nes, quietly playing and soon return to the main menu of ES, pressing Esc, I get a black screen or a white screen by pressing F4 can enter Terminal and restart Raspberry, so I think it is some error Emulationstation Front-End.
Any ideas?
Thanks and sorry for my English

I ‘m a noob and need detailed instructions
I have LogitechF310 usb controllers, they both work in Snes games. When I try to play Nes or Psx games then my controllers dont work at all and I have to use my keyboard which is no fun and super awkward. How do I get my controllers working for all systems?
Also followed youtube guides on changing buttons functions and did the up down left right ….. thing when it asked and ctrl x , yes , enter to save, wrote …lines and the configuration never changed in actual game play so I’m stuck with default settings that are not like the snes controller should be.
Thanks for any helpHello,
I have my Pi2 configured for Mame, FBA, Megadrive, Snes. I am only using the keyboard and need to buy the joysticks and buttons and controller.
What is best the ControlBlock or Ipac2 (usb)?
After searching on the forum I see some people can get these working in mame but sometimes not fba.
