Im new to retropie and would like to know how to remove emulators from the list
IBM, etc. Thank you for the help. Not sure if I just delete the folders off the usb stick that it created when I put my drive in the pi

Hey guys,
So I have 2x raspberry pi’s, here is a link to the one that is working:

and a link to the one that is not working:

I flashed an SD card, I have been running retro pie and some roms, it works perfectly fine in the first one, but putting the SD card in the second pi and I get the error “no gamepad found”. I have a couple raspberri pi’s of each model, and its exactly the same error, so its model specific.

Is there something I am missing? I was under the assumption the image would work the same in both of these raspberri pi’s… is there something that needs to be configured for each new batch of them?

Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated!
p.s. I am using the iBuffalo SNES USB Controllers, and I have tried all 4 of the usb slots on the pi… still “no gamepad found”, but works perfectly on the first raspberri pi I mentioned above.

Hi, I’m running a BerryBoot with OpenELEC Kodi and RetroPie in a 8gb sdhc card (class 4).

That’s the problem, I configure the RetroPie (updating Script and enabling USBROMSERVICE). I use a SONY USB FAT32 (but I tried with NTFS, exFAT and others USB).

And my raspberry doesn’t create the folders when I insert the USB in… I don’t know how to deal with it…

Now I recovered the original image to start from zero…

Hi

I’m new to the raspberry pi scene and have only had my Pi2 for a few weeks so am still a complete noob.

Eventually I want to make a standalone arcade but for now i’m getting it all working using my monitor and ps3 controller connected via usb to the pi2.

Everything was going well. I downloaded the retropie image fine. Got just about every emulator I wanted working well even fba. Using the sticky from here i also managed to get the roms to read from my USB stick. So far so good.

I then came to mame and have had nothing but problems.
Firstly I made sure I used the correct romset…0.37b5.

I put them in the normal mame directory on my usb and emulation station found all the roms perfectly. However when I launched the mame rom some kept stating that certain parts of the rom were missing…strange I was certain it was the correct romset.

So Next I tried advmame, renamed the path in ES-Systems.cfg and again emulation station found these fine. But again certain roms were failing and stating parts of the rom were missing. Some roms did work fine and in both advmame and mame4all pressing the tab key brought up the menu so I was able to configure the ps3 pad.

Still determined not to be beaten I tried the last mame emulator, mame-libretro.
Emulation station found the roms and success! every rom now loads perfectly. However, the tab key to bring up the menu is not working and on some roms the coin and start buttons work using the ps3 controller and some they don’t. All roms exit fine using my hotkeys on the pad. But because I cannot get the menu to show up I cannot configure the controller buttons.

My question is, does anyone know what is happening. The roms load fine in mame-libretro so they must the correct romset so why are they stating they are missing parts in mame4all and advmame. Also, any ideas why mame-libretro wont bring up the menu using the tab key. (ive tried all keys on the keyboard and ps3 buttons and none bring up this menu? Its also strange that in some roms I can use the coin and start buttons on the pad and in others I cant.

I seem so close to getting it working but this bit has me stumped.

I have a May Flash N64 Controller Adapter for PC USB to use with two original N64 controllers. Originally I tried playing Mario 64 and nothing would work. On a hunch, I put a ROM into the N64 Mupen folder, and then the game worked with one controller. Then I wanted to try Mario Party with two controllers. It seems it’ll only recognize the first controller to press something on game startup, but not the other controller.

Has anyone ever come across this? Is there a fix for this so I can have two controllers plugged into the adapter with one USB? Thanks!

How can I set an alternate rom path for certain emulators? For example I would rather run psx\sega cd\pce cd games from a thumb drive because they take up so much more room than the cartridge systems and my 32gb sd card is nearly full.

Thanks

I’ve been trying to configure two controllers to work correctly within snes9x for the better part of the afternoon.
What’s happening is 1P’s controls are all sorts of wonky, Select closes the emulator, A resets the game…
2P is better, but still isn’t totally functional.

I’m using two of the “Classic USB Super Nintendo Controllers” you get off Amazon and such. G-Tron brand, and all grey/purple.

I’ve run the controller config through RetroPie-Setup, and tried to map it through snes9x as well.

Two player works flawlessly on NES, and my controller works well on GBA/GameGear emulations.

What am I missing?

Hi All,

Well…I really tried to figure this out but I am stumped…total pi noob but I am a bit familiar with Linux and very familiar with emulators.

So…I have configured this game pad in the retropie setup and it says it is USBGamepad.cfg the file is there and appears correct…problem is that when I start emulation station go to NES and start the rom…two things happen….when I move the dpad I get this little pop up bottom left that says State Slot: 0 when I move right it goes up….left down…when I press b it does what it is supposed to but a resets the game! Almost like the gamepad is doing two things at once. I started from scratch 3 time using 3 tutorials…same result. The test shows the joystick working fine.

Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

Anyone have a clue about this? I did a fresh install of retropie on my pi2.

My PS3 controller worked perfectly over bluetooth beforehand and installed fine using the retropie_setup.sh script.

Anyway, this time whenever I use the retropie_setup.sh script to install now, it finds the dongle no problem but every time it tells me it can’t find the ps3 controller on USB, even though it works via USB in emulationstation and shows up on ls dev/input/. It worked perfectly any other time.

So I paired it again using sudo ./sixpair. Worked fine and came up that the mac was set. However, when I try to use the controller, I pres the PS button and the lights on the controller flash sequentially, 1,2,3,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,3,2,1 then all the lights go solid and the controller goes off.

I’ve done some searching around but can’t find anything so does anyone have a clue what’s happening with it? I’ve tried 2 bluetooth dongles (weirdly both have same mac address)

I’ve setup my Pi and can run games and all, but I plugged in my buttons / joystick that are all connected to a board via GPIO pins, and that board connects to the Pi via USB. The problem I have is that when I try to map my buttons in RetroArch, it registers my directional buttons really quickly. If it asks me to do Up, Down, Left, Right (in that order) and I press ‘Up’, it rapidly presses up a bunch more times and ends up mapping all remaining keys to ‘Up’. If I’m quick I can map it properly, but in game I still have the same problem so I don’t move around in games so much as I do mash directions, which makes most games unplayable. Anyone know why this is happening?

I also don’t seem to be able to install the Gamecon driver? It just fails everytime I try to install it from setup.
