Hey guys!
As in the title, I’m having issues with my start/select buttons on my snes USB controller not working in the emulator. The buttons work on Emulation Station, and are picked up by the RetroArch config tool. They just don’t work in game.
Everything else on the controller works fine, and I can use my keyboard to access most ingame menus. It’s just rather annoying. Any ideas?
I’ve tried to show how I’ve setup multiple controllers with RetroPie here. Hopefully its accurate. Please do point out any issues and I can do a part 2.
Unfortuately, the default SNES emulator (PocketSNES I believe?) that ships with RetroPie is very inaccurate. What I mean by inaccurate is the music is…flat. Music, in my opinion, is the “soul” of a video game (gameplay is the “heart”) so it ticks me off that PocketSNES is inaccurate AND is default for RetroPie. Urks me to no end.
I’m happy to say that I’ve switched to PiSNES from PocketSNES. I’ve configured the snes9x.cfg file to my controller’s liking but the A button, the B button, Start, Select, etc. don’t work. Would the RetroPie Setup script help?
PocketSNES is a music flattening mess. However, If I do keep PocketSNES, what sound configuration would help resolve that issue I’m having? Sound configuration? Configuring ALSA? Switching internal sound outputs (ALSA to SDL)?
If your curious, the controller I’m using is a PS3 controller USB (wired), the sound output I’m using is ALSA at 44100hz and the RetroPie version is the lastest and greatest, v2.4 beta.
I’m trying out new things and I will keep this post or future posts updated. Things are going to change.
No idea what the problem is and very much like some help. Thank you in advance!
Greetings all,
I have purchased two adapters for connecting original C64/Amiga/Atari joysticks to a USB port. The model I bought was this: http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/retronic-design-products/
However – I have problem getting the input to be recognized. The device is found, and when I try to configure a Retroarch controller by it it gets named retronicdesign.comRetroJoystickAdapterv3.0.cfg but it does not recognize any buttons or movement from the joystick during configuration.
From Emulatorstation the joystick is also recognized, but upon pressing buttons or moving the joystick nothing happens. However though, when I exit Emulationstation I get the following message appearing:
INFO: Te key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list <sdl@libsdl.org> EVDEV KeyCode 464
So – this leads me to the conclusion that the input I get from the joystick isn’t recognized by the library, and to me that doesn’t sound impossible to handle, but I must say I get a bit lost when googling generic Linux forums on the topic…
Therefore, I would be extremely grateful if there are anyone out there who have the skill to just point me into which files are relevant and how I should read which values the joystick is presenting me with!
I have tried messing a bit with handling it as an arcade joystick, but with no success.
Any help would be extremely appreciated!
hi, i am having some troubles with retropie, i’ve installed it in my raspberry pi a+, but i can’t get started because i can’t use my keyboard or even one of those controllers.
the keyboard is:
Logitech g15 – usb
and the controllers that i tried was:
xbox 360 with the wireless adapter
xbox one with usb cable
ps4 with usb cablei tried a mouse too, but it seems that just respond to keyboards and controllers.
i think that is strange that the keyboard is not working, altough the keyboard needs driver to work with all functions, it can also work as plug-n-play …
thanks
EDIT
————————-
I got it with a ps3 controller. I will buy a cheaper keyboard, because i tried to play duken nuken 3d and it not happened because the controllers was not assigned(but i did it in the main menu of retropie, when it asked to configure the controller and also detected it)….Hey guys
I am giving up now.. i tried almost everything i can to get this thing working.
On my first try i installed the 2.3 SD Card Image.. set everything up.. put it never found SDL, Sound didnt work, and Controls didnt work
On second try i installed raspbian and compiled everything (letting it run for over 24 hours).
Now SDL worked, but everything was crashing all the time (even though i didnt overclock)On third try i did the same with the Binary Install.
I could get SDL working and the sound was ok.. But when starting a NeoGeo Game in FBA only the buttons worked, i was reading through endless forum topics because i couldnt find how to get my AXIS working (because my Controller Handles Left/Right/Up/Down as a Button).
I also tried jstest which gave me unlogical results on the Axis (Left Axis 6, Right No Axis, Up Axis 9, Down Axis 10).I then tried another 3-4 times with different types of handling/installing/configuring stuff..
I tried to manually edit the Retroarch.cfg with the correct settings
input_device = "Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller" input_driver = "udev" input_b_btn = "14" input_y_btn = "15" input_select_btn = "0" input_start_btn = "3" input_up_btn = "4" input_down_btn = "6" input_left_btn = "7" input_right_btn = "5" input_a_btn = "13" input_x_btn = "12" input_l_btn = "10" input_r_btn = "11" input_l2_btn = "8" input_r2_btn = "9" input_l3_btn = "1" input_r3_btn = "2" input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0" input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0" input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1" input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1" input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2" input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2" input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3" input_r_y_minus_axis = "-3"And i tried these settings in fba2x.cfg
[Joystick] # Get codes from "jstest /dev/input/js0" # from package "joystick" A_1=13 B_1=14 X_1=12 Y_1=15 L_1=10 R_1=11 START_1=3 SELECT_1=0 #Joystick axis JA_LR=0 JA_UD=1It is a Arcade Stick for PS3 (also working on USB PC) but in theory it only has D-PADs, no real analog stick (i think)
So now i am formatting everything again (which is always a pain because i have to make a modified “interfaces” file to get my WLAN Stick working before i can even connect with SSH).
Anyone know how i can get FBA to make my Joystick work ? i remember having it working once (or maybe i was hallucinating because i was trying around for 2 days nonstop).
I also tried the RetroArch Joystick Registration Script on RetroPieSetup.sh
Also no luckI tried to have a customized RetroArch.cfg in the FBA Configs folder – no luck
I tried to modify fba2x.cfg in every different way (on the joystick axis part).
With some numbers i atleast got it to move by its own :PI dont know what i should do
Are there any alternatives similar to RetroPie Project i could check out ?
Are there any alternatives to FBA which doesnt need an Axis Configuration for UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT ?Any other hints on how to get my Arcade Stick working ?
I got the feeling that with this Raspberry Pi Stuff you just make one wrong step and you fuck everything up and can start again from scratch, that sucks..
Thanks guys for everyone who is willing to help :(
hi @all,
i have a question about retropie and the joystick order which will be used at the emulators via retroarch or direct.
i installed my retropie with the image, followed the instrutions herer and on different pages. i updated it with the script – everthink works fine.
i installed a wireless keyboard and for testing and directly retro-feeling 3 different gamepads and joysticks.
– psx compatible usb-gamepad
– xbox compatible usb-gamepad
– competition pro compatible usb-joystickemustation detect the keyboard and the 3 joysticks and i configure ist correctly without problems.
for most of the emus i got the info to configure them via retoarch and i did this also via retropie-setup without problems.tests bevor with the joystick-tool let me show that every device seems to work korrectly.
but if i like to use it in one of the emulators – there sometimes only will be the keyboards available or nothing.
i test everythink, had a look at the logs but there is no problem – it seems to be a configration think.
i parsed the internet but i yet i did’nt find anything usefull.may be the order of the joysticks seems to be a problem?
or do i need to configure some specials into the emu-retroarch-config?other emulators like vice (c64) did’nt use retroarch and at the first tests some buttons seems to work but after some ours testing, reinstalling nothing work any more.
what i did wrong or may be forgot at the configuration?
thank you!
byehi guys ,
i am so fond of retro pie on my raspberry . Am able to play tennis , tetris & mario nes game on it using USB gamepad .
I have tennis game in which you play single or double against computer.
I have 2 USB gamepads .
Can you suggest me a sports game in which two player can play against each other ?Topic: I love Retropie, but
When I found out about Retropie I had to get my hands on a Raspberry pi. I own a NES and PSX and have owned a Sega as well. I love retro games and I think it’s a great idea to make a mini multi game system. However I have ran into some brick walls that have made me want to send my raspberry pi back to the shelf for $.
I purchased the B+ and used SDFormatter to format and DiskImager to install retropie 2.3 on it. It booted right up and after many, many form reads, youtube videos, and voices from the walls I just have not been able to get things right. Retropie starts up great. In fact the first couple of times sudo apt-get update worked too. It wasn’t until I used sudo apt-get upgrade when I got the line of ext4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2. I think I let it go to about 6000 once then I knew something was wrong after over an hour.
So I say lets just get update and stop there. Then I try to set up my SNES controller. I have already seen some nightmares on trying to get this to work with RetroArch, and it’s one for me too so far. Setting up the ROM menus no problem, using controller in game 0% so far. I have even tried using Putty which I could not find the retroarch.cfg file in it. I only found it when digging through retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg (probably but I have forgotten the exact list of folders but I found it once.) However then I didn’t have permission to open it. So I look password/login videos on how to fix my permission problem but then I think it’s an update problem and I just run into more problems.
Eventually last time I “updated” it gives me one of the errors you see in the picture (another ent4-fs error)
More on the usb controller I even tried retroarch-joyconfig -o and nothing seems to register for me. My keyboard works and my controller works until I enter a game.
I have now formatted and reinstalled 2.3 again. I have done no updates or even expanded my micro sd card yet for ROMS (I’m using a 16g) I am also using a hdmi cable in my monitor and phone power supply. I have no problems transferring ROMS either. I’m really at a lost for words and I’m not sure if I can explain it more than I have as I have not touched Linux but I am very careful of the code I put in. I would really appreciate some kind guidance as this is supposed to be a surprise project for my brother I thought I could do :) But now I am ready to give up.
Thanks

Topic: Mame4all usb sound card
Hi, just getting started with retropie. Great work by the way.
Running into an issue with mame4all and a usb soundcard on a B+ where no roms will load with usb sound card connected and I receive an error:
Segmentation faultitialize…set params) Rate doesn’t match (requested 44100Hz, get 0Hz)
I’ve googled around and viewed various topics including the ones on this board and this one:
http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/968/usb-audio-card-issue-with-piplay-/p1
Of which I’ve followed all the suggestions there to no avail.
I’m using this soundcard:
https://www.modmypi.com/usb-sound-adapter
And wondered if anyone here managed to get mame4all working with a usb soundcard, particularly the one I’ve linked to. Works fine without soundcard but using the headphone jack as hdmi audio is unavailable for this project.
Hello guys,
I tried everything i could find in these forums, and now i ask for your help.
The raspberry pi B+ not even recognize the razer onza(lsusb).
It works on other computers ok.
Sorry for bad grammar. :(
I tried to configure the 2 player controller.
Only 1 controller works at the same time, also the 1/2 player selection button and the coin button does not work.
Can someone help me ?Topic: Controller is messed up
Hi,
I got a SNES USB controller and went through the setup using these commands
sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgI pressed the right buttons when it told me to, but the buttons were mismatched when I went in game (Kirby Super Star). I kept retrying double checking that everything was correct but it was still messed up. Then I went in the config menu (I think thats what it is) using this command
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
and changed something (I can’t find what it was) and now no controller won’t in game at all. (I also have a USB NES controller that worked before) Any ideas on how to fix this? I will look for what I changed.
Thanks, Rod
