Topic: UAE4ALL2 controller
I’m a really newbie and need advise in choosing a controller that works with UAE4ALL2 Amiga games.
How do I configure the controller?
My own suggested controllers can be PS3 wired USB-controller, fake SNES-USB-controller (the cheap one you can buy on eBay etc), Trust Gamepad GXT 24
Ok, I got my ps3 controllers working great. Now I want to slip in a joypad encoder for a few extra mame buttons. The problem I am having is that the encoder is a usb encoder and is detected as a joystick and is the first to be detected and is assigned to js0. Of course the playstation emulator wants js0 for its player 1.
question:
is there a way to bind the encoder to, let’s say js3 on bootup so the other two controllers can take the js0 and js1 spots? I’ve tried to assign the encoder to joypad index 3 and that didn’t work.Morning Ladies & Gents
I have had my RasyberryPi 2 now for about a week. And it bloody awesome.
I mainly got it so i can Retro Game on it. And well. Retropie is the way to go.I am having some issues getting the Xbox 360 controller & the Xbox One controller working. Not together. Originally the 360 control wasn’t working so i tried the One controller with the same results.
Heres what i have done.
Using Win32DiskImager i have written the RetroPi pi2 img to my mirco SD. (4 times in an effort to get it to work and to use fresh settings etc)
Followed a number of guides Basicly the following steps1) Install xboxdrv (Have done from terminal both via puTTY & direct KB access to PI). Also from the sudo ./retropie_setup.sh script setup (puTTy & direct) (updated ofcourse)
2) After reboot setup the init script files exactly from these instructions https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-the-XBox360-controller
3) Rebooted. Then configured the Controllers from the Register Retroarch Controller option (puTTY & direct) Both controllers registered button press’s correctly.
4) Rebooted into EmulationStation. It detects the gamepad on boot and i can successful config that for use with ES.
5) Now heres the issue. I am trying to run SMB & SMW on the SNES emulator (tried all 3) and i can press start on the screen where all the characters are, goes into game selection screen. I can select game using D-pad and Start. I can start a 1P game. Then in Super Mario World it does the first initial popup (video here. http://youtu.be/rIQZR2799Q0) and it just stops responding
Software
I believe is the EmulationStation 2.6Hardware setup is
Xbox 360 controller connected via Xbox 360 USB receiver
Xbox One controller connected via usb cord (PI is powered sufficiently)Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciatedok so i got retropie running i am going to play the games from the usb drive (i have a video tutorial im going to follow) but i have my own artwork im just wondering where i put it for it to show up in emulation station? i have yet to setup anything as im copying all my roms to the hdd at the moment
Topic: Second Controller Issues
Hi all,
I have successfully set up two USB NES controllers to work with my system, they both work fully in the ROM select menu, and player 1’s controller works perfectly in game (including using select+start to exit back to emulationstation). The only problem i’m having is with the second player. It can play games, and the buttons all work properly, except that start and select do not work at all in games. I’m pretty sure when playing two player mario bros. 3, second player is able to pause the game when they’re playing, but it doesnt at all. Yet, in emulationstation, both controllers can bring up the start menu and the coding is identical for the two (other than changing the joypad index and the player number).
Anyone have any ideas why it isnt working?
Hope someone can help.
I have a USB gamepad (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FEFPDT4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) and this works fine in the emulators (config below)
input_enable_hotkey = nul
input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_b_btn = “1”
input_player1_y_btn = “0”
input_player1_select_btn = “8”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_axis = “-1”
input_player1_down_axis = “+1”
input_player1_left_axis = “-0”
input_player1_right_axis = “+0”
input_player1_a_btn = “2”
input_player1_x_btn = “3”
input_player1_l_btn = “4”
input_player1_r_btn = “5”
input_player1_l2_btn = “6”
input_player1_r2_btn = “7”
input_player1_l3_btn = “10”
input_player1_r3_btn = “11”
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_btn = “1”
input_player1_r_x_minus_btn = “3”
input_player1_r_y_plus_btn = “2”
input_player1_r_y_minus_btn = “0”`When I try and config via Emulationstation it fails as you input the keys and it goes back to the to to the “up” selector and you cant do anything to get to the done button, meaning it wont save the config.
Any ideas how I can make it work so I dont need the keyboard plugged in?
I’ve got the system up and running, and I’m using a USB SNES controller. I’d like to set Retroarch up so that it maps GB/GBC/NES games in such a way that the Y and B buttons function as B and A buttons, while leaving the controls as they are by default in SNES games. Can this be done? How?
I purchased an N64 to USB adapter for my controllers to work with Raspberry Pi. I am having issues configuring the N64 controller for SNES.
When I try to play an SNES game it defaults to the joystick instead of dpad and doesn’t configure a y and x button.
Anyone else have this issue? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Topic: TIP: multi roms easy way
I’m new – sorry if this has already been covered!
I have all my roms on an external drive and don’t use the rom folder that retropie creates on there, instead I symlink and this works great, allowing me to keep collections separate or combined, however I’d like – without affecting my actual rom collections as I prefer them neat.
Some rom collections are so big that you might need to search and create symlinks rather than just symlinking all files that belong to a folder (you’ll eventually get error messages part through, especially with ‘ filenames)
So, taking the Amstrad collection from *******.*** (redacted as per forum rules) my roms are here:
/media/usb/Amstrad CPC [TOSEC]/Amstrad CPC – Games – [DSK] (TOSEC-v2009-10-25_CM)
I would like roms available here (as a new collection, in which case I’d either add or modify retropie’s es config)
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amstradcpc-TOSEC-dsk
so I’d create the directory:
mkdir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amstradcpc-TOSEC-dsk
then I’d find roms and symlink them over
sudo find “/media/usb/Amstrad CPC [TOSEC]/Amstrad CPC – Games – [DSK] (TOSEC-v2009-10-25_CM)” -type f -exec ln -sfn “{}” /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amstradcpc-TOSEC-dsk \;
I’m no wiz and there might be a better way to do this but this works great for me so I thought I’d pass it on and importantly it doesn’t error on the really big collections. I especially like it when combining different rom collections into one rom folder without touching my originals. Hope this helps anyone wanting to do the same
i’m trying to understand how to get the emulators to always use “libretro.cfg” over the nearly blank skeleton template(as its get a alil annoying to manually config each emulator then get RGUI open to select teh config.)
and in teh same topic, the snes core doesnt seems to like input at all from my Logitech Dual Analog usb gamepad or my Saitek P880 gamepad. its set in its libretro.cfg and loaded. but not a single input is recognized. its not that they dont work at all, both can fully be configured navigate RGUI and Emulationstation. in 2 days thats not going to be really a problem persay w/ my RPi 2 on its way from adafruit. but i dont have a USB Hub for my Rpi 1 Model B (one port’s used by the wireless mouse/keyboard combo and it lacks a full layout than a traditional keyboard)
Hey there!!!
When i saw your project, i directly buy a raspberry pi 2 !
Especially for mario kart on nintendo 64 !I follow the installation correctly, did the apt-get update and upgrade, system starts quick, added the mariokart.zip to the n64 folder in roms via windows, it is recognized, but, the sounds is crackle and the video is very ugly, i can’t see anything correctly…
So i have seek trough the net to see if any configuration has to be done.
I tried to overclock to the higher one, the Pi 2. No changes for sound and video, but it is much faster ^^i am a beginner in the terminal, i know a few commands, like apt-get, reboot, halt, measure temp…
Did i missed something???
Your answer will be much appreciated !
My configuration:
Raspberry pi 2
Aukru 2A adaptater
Samsung Evo class10 uhs1 16giga µSdcard
Samsung LCD 22′ linked to the pi with a hdmi/dvi cable ( i also tried on a 40’inch thomson on hdmi/hdmi, same result)
one design white case
Sony headphones jack 3.5mm
USB logitech G15 keyboard
USB dell generic mouse
Microsoft sidewinder gamepad
Playstation 3 controller
I’ve registered my N64 USB controller to RetroArch using the standard method. One thing it did not map was the proprietary buttons such as the Z trigger and C directional buttons. Mupen64Plus handles this automatically but I haven’t figured out how to do this for RetroArch roms. Has anyone else been able to figure this out? I’m pretty familiar with the retropie project at this point but I can’t find anything out about this. Running retropie 2.6 on RPi2. Thanks.
Ahoi folks!
Before i start i have some infos for you!
– I never did woodwork before. This was the first time I have used
tools like the jigsaw. So it is not perfect.– I used a tutorial from instructables.com (from user rolfbox) and
put not really a massive amount of time in it. (Without waiting
for the parts the working time was about 1-2 Days.)– The paint job is not the best, but this was my first time ever
with spray-cans.Ok, here are a few pics and a list of parts and costs. The Marquee is not finished (I have to wait for the plexiglas.)
Part List & Prices:
MDF-Wood – 16 Euro
Raspberry – 10 Euro (got it cheap from a friend.)
17-Inch TFT Monitor – 5 Euro from a yard sale
4 Lead Extension with Fuse – Was lying around. (You get them from 5 Euro up)
Raspberry Heatsinks – 3 Euro
Wlan Stick – 8 Euro (Was flying around here for months.)
Ultracabs XinMo 2 Player Joysticks + 18 Buttons + USB Shield – about 60 Euro
HDMI-VGA Adapter – 10 Euro on Amazon
Spraycans (Grey Primer and Metallic Red) – about 20 Euro
Woodglue – (Since i do a lot of papercrafting i had 20 pounds lying around.)
Marquee-Plexi Glas cost 4 Euro at a local plexi-glass trader. I have to wait about 2 days. (GNARRRGH!)
LED Light Strip 10 Euro from Amazon
Total cost about 145 Euro. (Thats really acceptable!)Here are some pics:
To Do:
Install Marquee & LED Light Strips
Install Gamepad Holder behind Marquee (I plan to make the marquee like a door to store two SNES Controllers behind. So that you can flip it up and insert or take out the controllers. I already made 2 SNES Wireless Controllers a few months ago.)
Cabinet-Grafics: It will not stay only red, but the decoration comes at last. :)Iam open for suggestions and feedback!
Topic: Stuck at first screen
Hi all,
I tried to look through some old posts but couldn’t find a solution to my problem – apologies if I was bad at searching or if I am being stupid.
I got a PI 2 recently (my 3rd Pi in the house) and I’ve been trying to get RetroPie working without much success. Here are the steps I took.
Used Noobs SD card (16gb) to install a fresh OS.
Downloaded RetroPie using GitHub via the tutorial
Went through the settings and selected the bundle option (rather than source code)
Added the setting to start at boot
Uploaded some SNES and NES roms
RebootedEmulation Station starts at boot – which is great. It says it’s detected by USB controlpad and asks me to config it – so I press a button and then go through and assign the correct keys.
This is where I am stuck – there is a “Done” style button down the bottom but I can’t get to it – I can’t see to do anything at all to get past this screen. I tried taking out the control and using the keyboard and it’s the same thing.
How on earth do I get past this setup screen and get into the actual functionality and emulators?
Any advice appreciated!
Topic: Transferring ROMS to Pi 2?
Hey folks just a quick question.
Aside from transferring files over LAN, is there another way to transfer my ROMS over the my Pi 2? USB for instance?
Cheers!
xbenblasterxIs it possible to redirect the ROMS folder to a flashdrive? i am having major issues with my memory card on my RaspPi 2 filling up with roms :(
i would love to keep my memory card clean and free of Roms, and keep those separate on a USB Stick instead.
for that past week i have been trying to find a solution online, however i am no Linux wizard and have to rely on outdated guides, that in the end prove to be non functional :(
Please oh Gurus of RetroPie help me out :)
Kind regards
Jimmy
