    firmware update is required to solve the usb/ethernet issues

    Okay, thank you very much. That makes sense considering the newest, official Raspian works fine on another card. Since RetroPie isn’t loading on my B+, I’ll have to see if I can get it running on another machine or something to get it updated. If that doesn’t work, hopefully the RetroPie image will be updated in the near future.

    Could I burn Retro Pie onto my USB flash Drive and boot it up on my Raspberry pi from the USB?

    my set up was just like using a B board

    Hmm, interesting. When I boot to the latest version of 2.3, I just get a black screen. On the installer instructions it mentioned that I might have to push the number keys to get video to work but since there is no power to the keyboard/mouse/ethernet port, I can’t get it to show up.

    I know it isn’t a hardware issue because I have the latest Raspbian running on another SD card and the USB and ethernet ports are working.

    I’m having a problem where the four USB ports and the Ethernet ports are not powered on my RPi B+. Looking around at other communities it seems that this is due to hardware differences on the B+ which make it so that distros that work fine on the B do not recognize the USBs or the ethernet port until updated. Until this is compensated for, the ports in fact, do not even have power. For other users, this problem has been fixed with updated versions of Raspian.

    Being a novice to the RPi, I was curious if anyone else was having these problems. I haven’t seen any posts about this regarding RetroPie specifically, though I am having the same problems with RetroPie on my B+ that other users are having with other distros.

    Has anyone managed to get RetroPie 2.3 up and running on the new B+ model?

    Looks like SD card corruption, re-image and try again or try another SD card. The other option is a USB install.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The reason I know which emulator is running is by accessing the in-game emulator menu, telling me which is running.

    However, since I’m attempting to run both Pisnes and the default SNES emu simultaneously, I don’t know what that would look like or even if I’m doing it correctly.

    As for overclocking, I attempted to run turbo, but it’s just too much for my system at the moment. I may hold off until I decide to upgrade to the B+ and just run off USB then.

    For the time being, I’d really love to just be able to play certain games on Pisnes and others on RetroArch’s default.

    Just out of curiosity, how do you know which emulator is showing up after changing es_systems.cfg? Running the sd card image of retropi 2.2 here, and when I change emulators it just shows the Super Nintendo tab with each emulator, but when running it clearly runs with the different emulator.

    As for the overclocking, if you got the sd card image of RetroPie, it’s by default overclocked to the Medium settings, which are probably settings that should just work for everyone. As long as you don’t force_turbo=1 in the overclocking you won’t void your warranty. As far as I’m aware you don’t really need to worry about much if only overclocking to the turbo settings, other than sd card corruptions, which you can get around by creating a backup image of your sd card, or by installing to usb. I set my Pi to the turbo settings and they worked fine without any problems, but I’m also running off usb.

    The only feedback I’d like to add currently would be a massive thanks for this amazing project. I’ve had a massively enjoyable couple of days trying to get my head around things and get it working how I’d like. I have used Retropie in the past (last year), and I’m really surprised by just how far it’s come on. Essentially, I’m only really after solid working 8 bit and 16 bit systems, so things like PSX and N64 are not really what I expect of this unit and I haven’t indulged that side of Retropie. I’ll perhaps try that later on when the emulators have been developed further.

    But I’ve pretty much managed to get it working just how I wanted. :) It’s become quite a little entertainment system, and much better than the cheapo retro consoles you can buy. I’ve just ordered a sexy new case for the Pi, along with 2 matching retro USB controllers and a Sonic the Hedgehog sticker for the Pi. Yes I’m old enough to know better, and I don’t care!

    So thanks again. Donation to follow, when I get paid. :)

    How are you going to connect the kit to raspberry? Gpio? Keyboard encoder?
    [EDIT] ok, it has an USB interface… I don’t now if it could work…

    because the USB setup seems to work out of the box, all i had to do was run the retroarch setup once in the menu and it was fine

    When I have the PS3 controller connected with USB cable and runs retroarch setup it says that it finds the controller but when going through the buttons it just says timeout and it doesn’t work.

    No one knows why PS3 controllers doesn’t work?
    I tried to download the new 2.3 image since I had the 2.2 before but with same result. Everything works fine until I start sixad and it ask for the PS button. Nothing happens and after a while it says “unable to connect to sdp session” and after a while HID error…
    I have tried to get this to work in a week now without any success. I first bought a SNES -> USB converter, that doesn’t work and when the PS3 + blutooth dongle that doesn’t work so it get’s a bit frustrating now. Running games with only keyboard is not so fun.

    Hi I have installed the RetroPie image and I do not know where to configure the controller.
    I have a USB arcade controller and Emulation Station is able to find the controller and I am able to control the UI with the controller. But as soon as I start an emulator the keyboard becomes the controller.
    How can I map let’s say, controller 1 to the USB controller rather than the keyboard?

    Migrating from 2.2 to 2.3

    If you are looking to migrate from 2.2 to 2.3, it is much easier to copy files off the old image using winscp (or something similar), then copy them back into place in 2.3. Save these files:

    /opt/retropie/configs/all/*
    /etc/emulationstation/es_system.cfg
    /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/*

    Your saved games are located in the roms folder, if you’d prefer to only save those (since I hope you backup your roms elsewhere!)

    —–

    Fresh Build

    1) Download the latest version of RetroPie’s SD image. This document is based off version 2.3.

    https://www.petrockblock.com/download/retropie-project-image/

    2) Download and use Win32 Disk Imager to apply the above SD image to a 4 GB or larger SD card. 8 GB is really recommended.

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

    3) Boot the SD Image on your Raspberry Pi.

    4) The first time the system boots up into Emulation Station, you will need to setup your joystick.

    5) If this is a new Pi, you’ll probably want to update to the latest firmware and reboot. You may need to use a wired cable even if you plan on using wifi.

    sudo rpi-update
    sudo reboot
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

    6) I purchased a EW-7811Un USB wifi, which is supported by the Raspberry Pi out of the box. I also have a TL-WN725N, which can be setup as follows:

    http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=462982#p462982

    tar -zxvf 8188eu-201xyyzz.tar.gz
    sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
    sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko
    sudo depmod -a

    7) Now we need to setup wifi. Edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure wlan0.

    allow-hotplug wlan0
    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid zInternet
    wpa-psk *******

    8) Before we can move to configuring everything via SSH, we need to configure our joystick for the emulators themselves.

    cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
    sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

    9) Grab the IP address and SSH into the device to continue configuration. The default user/password that comes with Raspbian is used: The username is “pi”, the password is “raspberry”.

    10) Let’s setup the player 2 controller for our emulators before we forget.

    cd /opt/retropie/configs/all/
    vi retroarch.cfg

    Copy and paste the entire section that begins with “input_player1_” and change it to “input_player2_”. Don’t forget to change the “input_player_joypad_index” to 1 or 2 as well.

    Note: If you have a keyboard connected, things can be a little odd. You may need to change the joypad index to 0 and 1 if you remove the keyboard, which I’m going to do.

    At the end of the retroarch.cfg file, it is a good idea to add the following to allow you to press select+start to exit the game.

    input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
    input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"

    I also like to take advantage of the save and load states in emulation, which some people consider cheating. Add the following lines to enable these buttons on your joypad.

    input_save_state_btn = "5"
    input_load_state_btn = "4"

    After this has been done, you can hold select and press the L and R paddles to save and load states respectively. I also like to add some in-game volume control.

    input_volume_up_axis = "-1"
    input_volume_down_axis = "+1"

    11) Run configuration.

    sudo raspi-config

    12) Change password.

    13) Change Memory-split to 384.

    14) Set your time zone and localization options, then configure the keyboard keymap. I used en_US.UTF-8.

    15) Expand root file system to fill entire SD card.

    16) Force audio out of audio jack (instead of HDMI).

    17) Exit from tool and reboot.

    18) SSH back in (if you are using DHCP, the resizing of the file system can cause an IP change).

    19) Now copy your Roms to the SMB shares (ex. \\RaspberryPi\snes is where the Super Nintendo ROMs go).

    20) All done? Reboot and game on.

    sudo reboot

    21) Start up any Genesis/Megadrive game and press F1 on the keyboard. Go through the options and select “6-button controller” for Sega Genesis. Save the config.

    22) And once you are happy for a few days, go back into “raspi-config” and overclock your pi, if you are feeling daring. It will iron out some of the annoying blips in audio. I purchased a few heat sinks just in case. I go turbo without issue.

    I am currently trying to set up retropie so that the keyboard can be used to control player two in super Mario bros 3 for nes. (Specifically the little two player original Mario bros arcade game within the game) I have edited retroarch.cfg in an attempt to make the keyboard control player 2 by changing all control text referencing the keyboard from player1 to player2. This however results in the generic USB game controller controlling player 1 and the keyboard controlling BOTH player 1 and player 2. Can anyone instruct me on how to make it so the keyboard only sends input to player 2?

    Frustrating problem for me, any help is greatly appreciated!

    Note: I am using the newest version of emulation station

    Hi all,
    I have just installed the latest verz of retrpie.
    ES pickz up my generic usb stick fine.
    Jstest fine
    Ran the retroarch joystick config from witn thd script “register” usb gamepad. Went fine followed it all good.
    It created a file as a result called USBGenericgamepad.cfg. Which contains all the maps etc..
    Fired up a game from ES gams loaded but no control.
    Found retroarch.cfg (all) file and it doesnt seem to bave my joystick mapping in it like the other file??? Hmmm have i missed a step?

    Any belp guys?
    Thanks heaps!

    Thanks for the reply. I believe 8 and 9 are what I had for start and select initially on the snes usb controller I was using and it didn’t seem to work with the buffalo but works great with the usb snes controller.

    I wonder if it’s a bad idea to be using 2 different kinds of controllers at the same time?

    I recently purchased a usb buffalo controller to replace a standard snes usb controller I was using. ( here’s the link http://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Classic-Gamepad-Digital-Rapid/dp/B000TW9AFU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406332872&sr=8-2&keywords=buffalo+controller) The buttons work(although they’re differtn than the standard snes usb buttons I set up initially. I tried to edit the retroarch.cfg file but can’t seem to get get the start and select buttons to work. However they work fine in emulation station menu.

    Is they’re an easy way to see what number is realted to what button to set it up and then what is the best way to set up this new controller.

    Thanks guys.

    I use the iBuffalo USB controllers (snes style). I tried many other “nes/snes” style controllers (retrolink etc.) and they all had a very bad quality. Sometimes the buttons didn’t response, I was really disappointed. The iBuffalo have an absolutely awesome quality, they’re definitely worth the price. Near to the original ones by nintendo. As a bonus, they have programmable autofire (turbo) keys.

    Here some pics of them, combined with my raspberry :)

    If you want to, i can provide my controller config for the iBuffalos.

    I got a SNES->USB adapter from RetroLink in hope that this would work since using a PS3 controller seems hopeless, but this isn’t working either! It won’t detect left and up button. Is there a way to fix this?
    Seems like I’m stuck to use only a keyboard…

    From what I have been able to try, the sound in both NES and SNES games sounds awful. Is there a way to fix that?

    Thank you very much, that’s certainly helpful.

    Now I have a second, related question: The designation of controllers as /dev/input/js0 and /dev/input/js1 — where does that come from? Is it based on the order in which they are connected, or what USB port they’re in, or what?

    Basically, I’d like to try to set up a situation in which I unplug a controller and plug in a different one, and the system recognizes it and applies the right configuration. First of all, I need to figure out how it’s seeing the controllers in the first place.

    Yes I have done that. I runned the config for PS3 and I think the Dongle works. When I follow the tutorials, everything seems ok until the last step where I in sixad should press the PS button. Nothing happenes. I do see the LED on the dongle get solid instead of flashing when it isn’t connected and if I run hciconfig it shows the same mac address on both lines which if I understand it correctly says that it is connected, but no controller in Emulationstation.
    If I start Emulationstation with the controller connected with a USB cabel it says that it found a controller, but nothing happenes when I press any buttons so it doesn’t work at all.

    There’s a special tool you can run in retropie-setup/config for setting up the PS3 controllers and Dongle. Have you used this?

    I have done this before. To sync the controllers with the Dongle, I had to attach the controllers via USB. You’ll need a USB hub to do this as you need to have the keyboard, dongle, and controller attached all at once…

    Hi everyone! I’m a newcomer to RetroPie and the Raspberry Pi in general — just got mine last week, and have managed to get some of my favorite games up and running with two controllers — a USB SNES-knockoff controller and a Saitek which I got at Goodwill. I’ve gotten both working in most places — NES, SNES and MAME — but on the first PlayStation game I tried (Bushido Blade) could not get the second controller recognized.

    I’m a bit confused — the PlayStation emulator is RetroArch, right? Same one as NES and SNES? Controller setup should be the same, am I wrong?

    Oh, also: I haven’t figured out the whole BIOS thing yet for PS games. The game plays fine, but complains that there’s no BIOS when booted. Perhaps that’s part of the issue? If anyone could point me in the right direction towards making sense of BIOS, that would probably help a great deal. Thanks!

    EDIT: As a testament to my noobness, I had thought “PSX” was shorthand for Playstation, but have learned that it is a separate product that I’d never heard of. Doh.

    Hi,

    thank you for the answer, I will try this ..

    But is it possible to do the configuration without a network connection?

    The ROMś will be transfaired by an USB stick.

    G’day,

    what i found was that its not saving the config file because i permisions?

    i just started an emulator (e.g. SNES) pressed F1 to bring up the menu, went through the process of mapping the USB Gamepad, change the directory in with the config file got saved (e.g. to the Desktop) and hit save.
    Then i exited Emulationstation (F4) booted into LXDE (startx) found the directory that retroarch.cfg was saved into (opt/retropie/emulators/all/) ? thats only a guess, im at work atm, so i cant remember the exact adrress , deleted it, and moved the saved config file from where i saved it (in this case the desktop) to where the old retroarch.cfg file was, and then renamed it to “retroarch.cfg” as it was something like “retroarch-07212014.cfg”

    and that was it, rebooted back into Emulation station and all the controller config was saved and still working.

    Thats how it worked for me anyways :-)

    Cheers
    – Ken

    Did you run rpi-update? Strange that you’re getting usb drive corruption on the new model, have a look over at raspberrypi.org forums for advice

    #18180

    I have had the same experience. In my case it was due to overclocking the Pi.

    Your situation may be different but if not: make sure your Pi has heatsinks and NO CASE when overclocking. The memory cards and USB sticks corrupt when the Pi overheats!

    You can back up your memory card / USB sticks with the Win32 Disk Imager application. Do this before testing overclocks in case your card corrupts. You should be able to format any corrupted cards to get them working again.
