Topic: usb mounting slowly
hi all,
i just upgraded my hd to a 2tb disc, copied everything over from the 1tb, all is good.
except that the drive no longer mounts at boot, i have to quit ES, type in the commend “sudo mount -a” to mount the drive. restart ES and everything is back. from blkid, i get the following:
/dev/sda1: LABEL=”2TB” UUID=”18ba8ee8-7a31-4efe-8625-bd64e13790fe” TYPE=”ext4″
i have edited the /etc/fstab file with the following line:
UUID=”18ba8ee8-7a31-4efe-8625-bd64e13790fe” /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0
that line obviously works since “sudo mount -a” mounts the drive. did I miss a step?
thanks
Pi Model: B
RetroPie Version Used: 2.6.0
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: None
Controller used: Afterglow Xbox 360 Controller (Lights off) x1 (Upper Right Port)
Error messages received: N/A
Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide): Setting Up 360 controller
File: (File with issue (with FULL path))
Attachment of config files: (or use pastebin.com)
How to replicate the problem:Im not even sure where the heck this went wrong. I know while in the middle of scraping data, the Pi stopped responding, unable to connect to SSH. Least I couldnt get it to respond via SSH so I pulled the plug on it to get it to boot off.
After plugging it in and it gets booted up.. It says 2 game pads are detected when I have only 1 and its been in just one slot the whole time, never removed. I did all the ‘configuring for Emulationstation’ then go to a random game in SNES. I get in and none of the buttons would work outside of B , Select and Start. I know I have the Xbox Controller Driver and rant he controller config through the Setup before I even started scraping. I back out, I ran the RetroPie Setup script to configure the controller again, this time it wont even read my button presses in the config at all.
I tried rebooting, but now Emulation Station is saying 3 gamepads are found..
What in the blue hells is causing all this shite to go wrong all of a sudden. No buttons are being recognized.
Topic: N64 problems…
Hello!
I got som big problems N64 emulation on my retropie.
Im use the newest raspberry pi 2 (1gb) with retropie 3.0.My problems:
1. If im using the emulator N64- mupen64plus everything works great except the controllers because it doesn´t work with retroarch controller settings.
And if I use the emulator N64 retroarch controller settings works fine, but all games are lagging so bad! I cant start any game or anything.
So my question is: Can someone help me fix the controller issues for N64mupen or the video problems for N64.
Im using a USB SNES gamepad (not the best for 64, i know, but it will work for now).
Plz Help.
Topic: Pi in SNES cart
So this is still a work in progress…
I originally wanted to squeeze this thing into an SNES cart without having to modify the Pi, but it looked tacky and I couldn’t get it to fit anyway. So I had to poorly desolder and re-solder the USB ports.
The physical construction is mostly done. I need to hot-glue some pegs in the cart to hold the Pi in place. I also had wired up a reset button to the holes labelled “run” on the RPi2, but it caused to the Pi to just keep rebooting, no doubt due to my poor soldering skills so I just removed the button entirely.
I do have a couple questions though. I’m building this one as a gift to a friend of mine but I have a second RPi2 and I’d love to clone the SD card once I get it all configured so I have one of my own. Is it as simple as using win disk imager to clone the SD card or are there other considerations because of the swap in hardware?
Also I tried recompiling EmulationStation with a new splash.svg and splash_svg.cpp but I just ended up with Segmentation Faults when I tried to run EmulationStation. Are there other calls to the splash image in other files that I need to update?I am super new to Linux retropie, my back ground is I am an old school gamer from the Apple 2e to DOS and up from there, including most of the early console systems.
When I read about the retropie system I new I had to get one and give it a shot. I have had loads of fun with it already, thanks you to all that are involved with it and it’s development!
I have figured out how to install Retropie V3.0 beta, got my USB controllers to work, even several of my favorite DOS games.
My issue and I am sure you guys have seen it before is that I want to go wireless with my controllers. So I have a compatable USB to Bluetooth dongle, and a NES30 bluetooth controler. Now I can get the thing to work and be seen by holding down start+b but it sees it as a keyboard, this interferes with the hotkeys during any of the emulators.
So I disabled the hotkeys in retropie setup, this allows me to play all the game, but I can’t exit the games with out reboot…..
Is it possible to change the default hotkeys around what I have to map this controller?
Is it possible to add a command somewhere for an exit combo?
Bear with me now, it’s been 22 years since I tried to learn any programming!
Also thanks in advance for any help!My hope is that I can eventually play Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. However, right now it is unplayable and I’m hoping the internet can help. I have tried two ways to get this working, one through RetroArch as the latest RetroPie comes configured to do natively. The second with just mupen64plus without retroarch on top. I’ve had different problems with both. And I’ve been Googling my problems for a week now with no luck figuring these things out. As a note, I have a retrolink USB N64 controller.
First, Mupen. This one is the simpler of the two to describe. My only real issue is that after playing for about 10 minutes, my controller becomes unresponsive. This happens with any N64 game I’ve tried, not just OoT. That makes it unplayable. I’m also having an issue saving (save states not working), but I haven’t really looked into that problem yet because of the controller issue. I haven’t found any reason for the controller issue to be happening yet, and the controller works just fine with any other emulator (played Doom for an hour without issues as well as other games). Oh, and the keyboard is fine and I can exit the game using ESC no worries. Then when EmulationStation loads up again the controller is still fine.
Second, RetroArch. The biggest problem I’m having is that the default controller configuration seems to be wrong. Now, I know that Mupen has it’s own configuration file. That isn’t the problem. Mupen’s controls are configured fine (I know this because as I described above I don’t have this issue when running with just Mupen). It even loads up and states the controller (Generic USB Joystick) that Mupen is using just like it does when I run the game with only Mupen. However, with RetroArch on top when I get to the menu the start button works correctly as does the joystick, but the left C button acts like it is the A button and nothing else has any effect. Also, the keyboard stops working correctly too. The enter button works as if it were the A button on the controller and that is all. ESC no longer exits the game. I’ve been able to reconfigure the controller with retroarch-joyconfig, but I haven’t found a configuration that actually makes the game playable yet.
Additionally for RetroArch, the graphics and sound are messed up. I can’t describe it better than that. Certain textures are a bit off and certain layers (health bar) don’t seem to be displayed at all. The sound crackles a bit at times though I haven’t gotten passed starting a new game thanks to the completely useless controller settings. This is all using the same configuration (for Mupen) as with just Mupen above (which doesn’t have any noticeable video or sound issues).
If anyone has any thoughts on either of these directions I’d be grateful. Ideally I’d like to figure out the Mupen only approach since it seems the least buggy so far, but I’d be happy with either.
I have downloaded a rom set (0.106) that every game I try to start it tells me a list of files are missing. After opening the game zip I see the files in the zip that it says is missing. I am running the roms from a USB stick not the SDcard. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? This whole MAME and rom revision thing has been a headache. I thought the worst part of project was gonna be the woodworking lol. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have scoured the web and tried everything that has been suggested on forums but I am still getting a constant audio hiss/static from my RPi 2 running RetroPie 2.3/2.6 through the 3.5mm audio jack. I have tried the following:
– Several micro USB cables including good quality ones
– different power supplies
– updating RPi firmware
– tested through an amp and headphones directly connected to PiThis is what I’m experiencing:
Boots into emulationstation and all seems fine. No audio hiss at all. I launch a rom (any rom) and I hear the hiss for about half a second and then the terminal appears while the rom is loading (there is no hiss while the terminal is on screen). The rom loads and the hiss starts again. When I exit the rom back to emulationstation the hiss is constant. There was no his when it first booted into emulationstation but there is after I exit the rom.
This seems so weird to me. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
I had to use a USB hub to do some things(wifi and other peripherals), but it won’t work. I tried swapping the USB hub with another that I know works with Minepeon. It didn’t work, so I tried swapping Pis, with the same SD card, but it didn’t work either. Are there any things I can do to resolve this?

I need help. I just can’t figure out my joystick issue. Sorry if this isn’t a RetroPie issue but I’m hoping someone can help. I can’t seem to find reference to others having this issue.
I am unable to play any games. The games run smooth. But the player sprite moves, pauses, moves, pauses etc over and over. I’ve checked all my connections. Tried different versions of retropie. Gone over every setting I can find. Started from scratch a few times.
Not sure how to get the logs out yet.
Running RaspberryPi 2B with a small USB interface PCB. I know I havn’t provided enough to go on yet. Please help me to help you help me… LOL but seriously. I don’t know if it’s my interface, pi or the software.
Hi everybody.
I don’t have many spare time so when I was almost getting my retropie setup done for v2.6 (newbie here) I got a new version avaiable.
I was really happy with some improvements but I figured out there was no “mame-libretro” folder (I run games from usb) and renaming it to “mame-advmame” or “mame-mame4all” but roms do not load because missing files.
My question is:
I had everything working fine with mame-libretro so there’s any way to get this back?Thanks in advance!
Topic: USB No longer Syncing
Among the other issues I’ve been having, the biggest one is the USB SYnc function. It worked all of 1 time. Plugged it in, it created the File directories on the drive, returned to my desktop, loaded up a few roms as a test. Ok, It worked, I go back, and Load a few more onto my thumbdrive put it back int he exact same port I had it in the first time. Reboot the pi, ES loads back up, nope, none of the games I added showed up. I haven’t touched any setting after the inital set up.
I checked BLKID everytime I Rebooted, it sees my thumb drive, but ES is not wanting to sync.

Anyone have any idea on how to allevaite this, its really giving me a headache.
Hi.
I am trying to make my Retrolink N64 USB clone work under libretro n64, but I’m having some problems.
I copied retroarch.cfg from configs/all to configs/n64. I want to do a completely different configuration for n64. The problem is I can’t figure out how to setup the C-buttons or the Z.
There is not a
input_player1_z_btn
orinput_player1_cdown_btn
, and I don’t know if the emulator reads the c-butons as l2 or l3 or something like that.Also, when I press B the emulator displays a message saying Control: Alternate or Control: Default and I can’t stop ir or disable control mode switching.
Any help?
I am having a bit of confusion with the controller configuration. I have a usb snes pad and it is working great in all the emulators except the pce engine emulator. In the pc engine emulator the 1 and 2 buttons are mapped to the B and Y buttons on the snes pad instead of being mapped to B and A like normal.
I check the retroarch.cfg located in:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgI was going to copy out the controller info from the configs/all/retroarch.cfg and paste them into the retroarch.cfg located in the pcengine folder then modify them as needed but I am not seeing where the controller is mapped in the all/retroarch.cfg, all the controller settings are commented out.
I also changed the controller mapping in the osd you can pull up during the game and it worked great until i exited and reloaded the game, it then reverted back to the B and Y buttons.
Thanks
I have an old arcade that I am in the process of converting. I am using an Xarcade tankstick and retropie v3.0 b2 for Pi2.
I am wondering what the best way is to be able to use the factory $.25 coin slot.
Can I just attach to a GPIO or do I need a program to run? or would I be better off purchasing a USB controller of some sort and only programming two buttons, one for each coin slot as I have 2.
Thanks!
Now that I have your attention!I’m currently successfully running the RetroPie using the USB game-pad and a joystick configuration. My goal is to eliminate the game-pad and only use the joystick. On start-up emulationstation boots, and I can only navigate the screen using the USB game-pad. Once the game is selected I can use the joystick configuration just fine… How do I get the emulationstation to recognize the joystick on boot-up? Can I do it through the Raspbian OS folders? Please help, and thank you in advance!
Topic: NES Game is too fast
Hello,
this ist my first post. So on.
Im running RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 2 B with Berryboot. It works good (booting, start retropie). But there is one thing.
I tried Version 2.6.0 and 3.0beta2 and i have always the same Problem. I only used one NES game and it runs a bit (about 10%) to fast, than the original Game on a Nintendo NES. Although the Musik in the game is a bit faster. Controller (PSOne USB) Commands work straight through with no lag. I have no promlem with them Demo games (Doom, Quake …). The nes game runs normal on a PC Emulator (Nestopia).
Has someone an idea for this problem.Thanks
Hello,
I’m bought a WiFi USB adapter, the Edimax 7811 and the only way I can get it to connect to my WiFi is if I run the commands:
sudo ifdown wlan0
then
sudo ifup wlan0This is my config:
pi@retropie ~ $ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcpallow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcproot@retropie:/home/pi# nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1network={
ssid=”myssid”
psk=”mypassword”
}it never connects automatically, have I missed something?
