Hi There,

I’m having a stressful time getting my usb snes (iBuffalo) to register with the emulators.
It’s working in emulationstation menus….but not in games.
It comes up at “Not configured” in yellow writing on starting an emulator.

I have successfully setup my 2p arcade joystick (Xin-mo) after a bit of a hectic time thanks to awesome folk on this forum!

So now I want the ability to jump between pad and joysticks….

The key thing I think is the fact that I haven’t got a file in my /retroarch – joypads/ folder that corresponds to the snes controller. I have one in there for my arcade stick.

This is why I think the emulators are saying it’s “not configured”…..

so my question is, how do I properly configure this bad boy!?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
James

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I’m using retropie 3.5 with a Pi 2. I’ve setup/configured the PS3 controller using this link:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-PS3-controller

It works great in Emulationstation & in games when the usb cord is connected to the PS3 controller. However, once the USB cable is disconnected and the controller vibrates, connects to the bluetooth the controller no longer works in EmulationStation. I’ve rebooted retropie and reconnected via bluetooth but same thing…only works via usb cable. When connected to bluetooth PS3 controller is not working…..any ideas?

Thank you in advance- you all seem very knowledgable and I hovering just above clueless :)
I have raspberry Pi 2 model B
I’m running retropie 3.5 (although I did just do a system update)
Dreamcast comes already installed on this version but I can’t get the system manager to run.
Looking at ~/reicast/data. ls -lah my dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin are pink instead of blue which I believe means that my BIOS files are not installed/properly installed
I’m moving everything to raspi using a usb flash drive. I copied the BIOS files into fromreicast/data and still no dice.
I’m stuck and I’m sure it’s something simple.
I have read Free5ty1e’s responses and have gotten as far as I can.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be greatful.

I tried to configure a USB-NES controller in RetroPie, but something went wrong.
I tried to remove the config-file in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ in hope that I could end up with “a new gamepad” is connected in RetroPie, but I was wrong.

How can I do to get this gamepad work as I want to?
I have the config-file saved on my computer, but pasting that to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ won’t help at all.

Anyone got this controller to work with Retropie, I have tried a few times it does not seem to support it at all.

Could it work or should I give up?

I bought 2 generic PS3 controllers from Amazon, both bluetooth, and I can’t seem to figure out how to register them for use in retropie. I tried the Dualshock installer with no luck, and if I use the controllers over USB(Which I don’t want to do, since i bought the bluetooth ones) they work, but constantly vibrate lightly.

I’ve also tried registering it with the “Register/Pair Bluetooth Devices” options in EmulationStation/RetroPie and anytime I try to register a new device it just freezes up. I’m new to the whole raspberry pi game and just trying to get my box going!

THanks in advance everyone!

Here is a link to the Model info on the controller

I bought a RockCandy XBOX 360 Wired Controller. All is well except the bottom triggers, they don’t seem to register. Also the HOME button always blinks.

I also have this problem on on Raspian and Retropie, though on Retropie the right trigger sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, but never scrolls through the menu. The left trigger can be flakey sometimes too after configuration and has to be configured over again until it irons itself out. Ironically they both act as if they are going to work during the detection and configuration process.

In Linux Mint on my laptop (also Debian based), I resolved this by updating xboxdrv though apt-get. On the Pi, this made no difference.
Also according to jstest-gtk, the controller is fine…

Anyhow, I thought all this had been resolved last year. Any theories?

Hi all,

Is anyone else experiencing “freezing” with the N64 emulator (mupen64plus) on the Raspberry Pi 3 (RetroPie v3.6)?

I can play a game (like Mario64) for a few minutes, then the whole Pi locks up (can’t SSH in to do anything) and have to pull the power. As far as I can tell, it’s not overheating (doesn’t seem to get much above 61°C) and I’m using the official Pi power lead with no additional items plugged into USB.

I found what seemed like a similar issue here, but I’ve tried switching the AudioDriver and still crashes. I’ve also tried building the Emulator from source, in case it’s a fixed bug, but still occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance! :o)

-Downloaded and loaded latest SD image into Raspberry Pi
-Booted for first time
-PS3 controller is wired and plugged in to USB port
-emulationstation detects controller
-I can press all buttons and the “playstation 3 controller” text flashes on screen
-I hold a button down to configure
-Now the only button I can press is the one I held down originally. No other buttons work, so I cannot configure my controller!

Getting frustrated that the controller seems to work but I cannot configure it.

Any solutions or experiences?

First let me start off by saying I am currently in Afghanistan. If and this is a big if I had the ability to endlessly search the internet for a solution to my issue I would. That being said…………I am trying to identify how to enable cheats. I am using RetroPie 3.1 because that is the best I can do for now. I have limited connectivity, and limited bandwidth through a terrible mobile data plan which only works outside.

I have search for a solution in the little time I have available while not working, but have come up empty handed as most pages are identified as restricted or the internet is to slow to load the pages. I am using a iBUFFALO Classic USB Gamepad. I have access to a keyboard, but I do not know what I need to do in order to enable this option. If someone can assist me I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone, I’m new to Retro Pi and after two weeks of messing with this on and off I have never been able to successfully reboot the Pi once everything is installed. I can get the system up and running and I can get my ROMs installed and I can play games. Anytime I try and quit and disconnect the power it will never start back up again.

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 2 with an iBuffalo Classic USB Game Pad. I’ve tried using an 8gb SanDisk card and also a 32gb card. Since it seems like everyone else but me can get this to run successfully it has to be something I’m doing but I just can’t figure out what it could be. Surely this can’t be that difficult. I seriously have re-loaded this 10 times. I’m getting tired of re-imaging the card and starting all over again only to end up back in the same spot with the Pi appearing as though it’s bricked. I’ve never tried a second Pi with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
