Hi everyone,
I just installed my RetroPie and decided that I really want to use some Lightguns for MAME. I’ve been searching the internet for a few days and haven’t really found anyone yet who has used any lightguns with their Raspberry pi so I thought I’d check with you guys here. Has anyone here got any lightguns to work on RetroPie?
I’m looking to buy these: http://www.arcadeguns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1&zenid=i9is7jfthfg9r5nud9glia5u65
I contacted the support on the site above and asked them if the guns would work on a raspberry pi, unfortunately they couldn’t give me a straight answer since they haven’t tried on a Pi, but if it runs Linux and got USB 2.0 they SHOULD work, according to the retailers. Does anyone know a reason for these NOT to work, or potential problems when using them on a raspberry? Does the MAME in RetroPie support lightguns?
I am hoping to get help with this!, I am using Ipac2 as a controller, I have MAME and NeoGeo, they map without problem, but SNES, genesis and Atari do not respond to the key mapping, I had been trying different things, I had spent more than forty hours on it, without results. I tried to modify /all/retroarch.cfg and even the individual ones on the Super Nintendo and Genesis, when I do map it, I get this; RetroArch [WARN] :: Key name Lctrl not found ,1,5 and Lalt not found
Do you have any idea of what the problem may be?

Running latest version of download from here around 2-3 weeks ago.
New to Retropie but been reading loads and gotten quite a way through myself without having to ask any noob questions, but I can’t sort this out.
Question 1, If I launch the SNES emulator the games load, I can play the games, restart using the start + select combo, great. But for some reason the X button restarts the emulator also????

Any ideas or pointers welcome.
Hi everyone:
I have my controller config solved (per my last post), however I’m running in to one incredibly annoying mapping issue.
The input_menu_toggle mapping is not working. I’ve tried multiple keys and nothing works. My current hotkey config is as follows:
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8”
input_menu_toggle = “11”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “9”
input_save_state_btn = “6”
input_load_state_btn = “7”
input_volume_up_axis = “+3”
input_volume_down_axis = “-3”As it sits, my hotkeys for volume, saving, and loading as well as exiting the emulator work perfectly, its just the menu toggle button that doesn’t work. I’m not sure if its related to the rest of my config, a typo, or a new input_menu_xxxx that I’m unaware of, but I need a second/third set of eyes on my code. Please help.
My entire config is as follows:

Introducing the NesBerryPi-Portable,
[img]http://oi57.tinypic.com/jgtdw3.jpg[/img]yup thats right PORTABLE…
it all started last sunday (3/23/14) i woke up and tore apart (carefully) this lcd monitor
[url]http://www.amazon.com/Lilliput-monitor-interface-dedicated-high-definition/dp/B0041I8UAO[/url]
and started poking around the circuit board in search of 5 volts.
shortly after i found it and cut the plug to my powered usb hub, soldered it onto the monitors circuit at the 5v spot i found, plugged it in and crossed my fingers. when i turned on the monitor the red led on the usb hub came on and no smoke followed. then came the moment of truth, grab the raspberry pi, minu usb, hdmi, wireless keyboard/mouse and plug it all up.
it worked like a champ. so now i have a battery powered monitor and raspberry pi, what can i do with it??? i look over and see a spare nes controller laying out from playing the night before and remember the broken nes stuffed in a closet on top of two broken ps3s and next top 5 rrod 360s (no joke) so i began gutting the nes until the shell remained i kept the power/reset switches and the controller ports.(damn this escalated quickly hahaha)
i knew the screen had to be fitted into the top half of the nes so i searched the house for some tools.
i found a power drill and a hand saw (the little thin blade kind) a few hours later i had a not to shatty job well done. i soldered two external usb female ports to two of the powered usb ports.
i then cut a small square of plexiglass to the size of the lcd panel and fired up the hot glue gun. i drilled a few holes soldered some wires and then it was time to sleep.ill finish this post with more pics/videos/info tomorrow after work because its time to sleep again…
To Be Continued…OK, so I am new to pi and retropie, but not so new to Linux. Here is my issue…
I have a Rasp Pi Model B 128GB RAM, with a 32GB SD card. I torrented the 1.9.1 SD image and have flashed is successfully. I was able to boot it and copy ROMs to it, and can play a game with my keyboard. However, I want gamepads…
I have 2 x Logitech F310s that I am connecting through a powered USB hub (keyboard directly into the other USB port, and using ethernet cable for internet), but for the life of me, I can only get one partially working.
I compiled xboxdrv 0.8.5 from source as described here and tried running xboxdrv with Daemon mode or with the instructions in the xbox360 guide on Github (using rc.local).
I get js0, but not js1, and even js0 does not work at all once the snes emulator is loaded (but will control the emulationstation interface).
I have been working for 3 days trying to get this working, and I swear I have looked everywhere I can think to find the smoking gun, but I am at my wit’s end…
Thanks in advance for your help, and please let me know if there is anything you need from me to troubleshoot…

I seem to be having weird problem with doom via PrBoom. When I load up the game and start a chapter, my gun sprite is missing and there is a sprite of a marine running on the left of the screen. Really bugging me what is causing this.
Topic: Save States
Hello! I look forward to fix this problem soon.
I have a problem to save games in the MAME-Emulator. All the time i hit “f2” on my keyboard the message “Core does not support savestates.” appears. I tryed to look up the RetroArch.cfg and changed the path and tryed some modifications to the autosave feature aso. nothing… To me, it seems changes in this file doesn’t have an effect. I tryed to set the screenroation to 90°. Still no effect.I hope someone knows about this problem and can help me2 with this.

I have the raspberry pie rev B, which i’ve installed retropie on, using the prepared image version.
i had no trouble setting up the controls using my old, wired USB controller (with both a d-pad and analog sticks). But i wanted some greater distance to the system, since my couch is on the other side. So i bought a Trust GXT 30, wireless controller (USB).
Using the initial configuration in emulationstation and setting up the controller for the menus worked great. Then i set it up for retro-arch, and i wanted to use the d-pad instead of the analog sticks, since i’m only playing SNES games. However, doing this resulted in that the d-pad wouldn’t work in the games (only in emulationstation). All other keybindings worked as they should.
After a few tries without any success, i tried to map the analog stick instead of the d-pad. Which actually worked just fine! Except the great loss in precision for gaming. So i would really want the d-pad to work.
When i try to map the d-pad, i can se in the retroarch.cfg that they are represented as “hats” (up = h0up, down = h0down, and so on), which differes from my old, wired controller.
I hace tried looking around, but haven’t found any real help on the subject. Does anyone have any idea of what’s wrong?
Best regards,
gunnar90I just resolved some very frustrating issues that I was having with my retroarch.cfg joystick config file. Default behavior was strange in some of the emulators, and I couldn’t quite get input_enable_hotkey_btn and input_exit_emulator_btn to work correctly. NeoGeo emulation using FBA did work for some crazy reason, but the other emulators did not. When I removed the input_enable_hotkey_btn line from the config, it would exit whenever I pressed button 0 instead of the button that I tried to configure to the cfg file. I ended up restarting from scratch, and seeing the difference between my old config files and the new config files to find out the difference.
My first error was piping instead of appending when I used the retroarch-joyconfig program found in RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/tools.
What I typed was:
./retroarch-joyconfig | ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgI should have typed:
./retroarch-joyconfig >> ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgI then compounded my problem by manually copying and pasting the following lines into my config file (using vim over ssh, if I remember correctly):
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8" input_exit_emulator_btn = “9″I had not realized two things:
My config doesn’t need the quotes.
I had accidentally pasted two different types of quotes (“ and ″) into a config file, which likely caused the program to freak out and not read the configuration properly.After loading RetroPie 1.9.1 onto the card from scratch, I noticed the error of my ways, updated the configuration file correctly, and I am now able to exit emulators effectively and continue to play games.
Learn from my lesson, RetroPie users! Beware the quotes!
