You, Sir, are my hero ! It totally works. I can’t believe I didn’t find that info by myself.

After I set it to udev I mapped with emulationstation, mapped it again with retroarch and bingo! It worked.

Thanks once again !!!

[jmaxime89]

Thanks a lot ! I’ll look into that when I get home.

However when I start a game it says in yellow : PS4 controller slot #0 or something like this.

I also try to map it in retroarch in the retropie menu.

I’ll follow your instructions carefully and report.

Thanks again

[jmaxime89]

UPDATE : I just realised that whatever I have in

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

Retroarch never reads it.

When I have emulationstation’s mapping and naming(sony entertainment wireless controller) R3 is select (which is my hotkey enable also)

When I use retroarch mapping and naming (PS4 controller) the outcome is exactly the same all buttons messed up; R3 = select.

When I use a file I found on github named Sony-Playstation4-DualShock4-Controller the outcome is once again the same, R3 = select for instance

When this folder is empty my controller still have the same mapping in game…

I see there is a variance in emulationstation and retroarch naming of the buttons (Retroarch Start = 6 emulationstation Start = 9)

Thanks once again ! I hope one of who will see this and take the time to help me.

[jmaxime89]

Sorry double post

[jmaxime89]

Excuse me, I really don’t want to hijack your thread. I already posted my question in my own thread but nobody is looking at it.

I have a wired ps4 controller and I’m having a hard time trying to configure it with retroarch. It works fine in emulationstation however.

In my retroarch autoconfig emulationstation and retroarch are naming the config file differently.

If you are using a wired ps4 controller would you please send me your config files.

Thanks a lot. I’ll try to see if my controller is working with the other emulators (maybe we have the same problem, usually I use my snes controller for everything except PSX)

[jmaxime89]

Got it,

cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo retropiesetup.sh

Then in source based installation you’ll find Genesis Plus GX

after the install you’ll have a new folder where to put your rom into

Enjoy !

[jmaxime89]

Would be interested as well !

[jmaxime89]

VOILA !

Thanks a whole lot ! I really appreciate your time

[jmaxime89]

Well I guess I’ll leave this behind and play it with pocketsnes as it plays everything pretty good.

I don’t understand why I can’t change the controls though

Thanks again for taking the time to reply to me, I really appreciate it

[jmaxime89]

Yeah, I already editted that file and none of my controls changed. I used the same numbers for my buttons as those I used in retroarch

[jmaxime89]

I think I already gave it a try, I’ll double check in a minute.

So just to make sure, editing this in the pisnes section will change the config for the snes9x emulator ?

Nothing else to do beside that ?

Thanks :D

[jmaxime89]

You Sir, are a genius. I couldn’t thank you enough

[jmaxime89]

Since you are french and I am a proud Quebecker :

Je ne peux pas t’aider pour ton problème acec MAME

pour FBA download un romset cps1 ou cps2 et met le dans home/pi/retropie/rom/fba/

Et ta manette de ps3 tu la branche et retroarch a déjà les bon driver pour la faire marcher, le seul problème c’est que pour chaque bouton que tu entre ton sixaxis va donner 2 autre input donc tu peux pas rouler le joyconfig. Tu dois éditer le es_input par toi même et le retroarch.cfg aussi.

Tiens pour t’aider copie ça pour emulation station

“<_input name=”a” type=”button” id=”13″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”b” type=”button” id=”14″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”down” type=”button” id=”6″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”left” type=”button” id=”7″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”menu” type=”button” id=”16″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”pagedown” type=”button” id=”10″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”pageup” type=”button” id=”11″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”right” type=”button” id=”5″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”select” type=”button” id=”12″ value=”1″ />
<_input name=”up” type=”button” id=”4″ value=”1″ />
”

Et ça pour tes config de retroarch :

#### DualShock 3
input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_a_btn = “13”
input_player1_b_btn = “14”
input_player1_x_btn = “12”
input_player1_y_btn = “15”
input_player1_l_btn = “10”
input_player1_r_btn = “11”
input_player1_l2_btn = “8”
input_player1_r2_btn = “9”
input_player1_l3_btn = “1”
input_player1_r3_btn = “2”
input_player1_start_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “0”
input_player1_left_btn = “7”
input_player1_up_btn = “4”
input_player1_right_btn = “5”
input_player1_down_btn = “6”
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-3”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “16”

Those a two different emulators;

the first one is mame4all pi and is the best for a raspberry pi

the second is imame4all which, as you stated, is very laggy.

For the control mapping on mame4all pi I totally have the same issue, however my two snes controllers work A1 but when I try to play 4 players with my ps3 controllers the emulator doesn’t picks up any of my input.

[jmaxime89]

Same thing here, and I’m curious about that because before updating from 1.1 to 2.2 my memory split was 384 and it was working fine

[jmaxime89]

UPDATE :
instead of using mame4all pi I tried imame4all and I could play with 4 players but this emulator is so laggy it was unplayable. So if it gives anyone an idea please help me !
Also it’s odd in the emulator carousel there is ES_config and I can’t run anything in there. Not even the basic input or the retroarch gui. it says permission denied but I did a chown on this folder and when I check in winscp it says owner : pi. It’s really strange.
Thanks very much, once again !

Sorry wrong thread, I apologize

[jmaxime89]

Ahah nice ! That’s a good idea

[jmaxime89]

Well on the MAME you can press tab and it opens the config screen. I can set all the buttons for four controllers but it only registers the input from the 2 first controllers :(

[jmaxime89]

It really must be something easy because when I open RetroArch RGUI and then I got into settings and inputs I can see player all of my controllers recognized there also and I succsfully mapped them. It’s really just in MAME4all pi that I can’t use them correctly

[jmaxime89]

It’s not dumb ! Is there really a config file for mame ? Lol I knew it was an easy problem.

Can you give me a path please ?

Thanks a lot

EDIT : Tried changing the config in .emulationstation ES_config and MAME retroarch.cfg, still not working

[jmaxime89]

Okay ready when you are, I am not in a hurry !

Edit : There is no way to boot these games using pocketsnes I guess ? and still use pisnes for all of the others ?

[jmaxime89]

I also see that megaman X3 don’t work on pisnes, is there a way to make it work or should I just go back to pocketsnes since I play those games often ?

[jmaxime89]

Can you show me now how to map my snes controller on pisnes ?

Thanks again !

[jmaxime89]

Thank you infinitely !!! I still can’t believe it !

[jmaxime89]

Same thing :

No ROM file header found.
“Donkey kong country” [bad checksum] HiROM, 16Mbits, TYPE : ROM+RAM+BAT, Mode: 21, TV: NTSC, S-RAM: 8Kb, ROMid: ???? Company: ??

[jmaxime89]

none of my roms are working whereas they all work using pocketsnes,

I used the retropie script. If I need to write a command then a path could you write to me exactly what I need to type so it will exclude all of the mistakes I can make.

Thank you very much !

[jmaxime89]

Yes ! it shows this :

No ROM file header found.
“The 7th saga” [bad checksum] HiROM, 16Mbits, TYPE : ROM+RAM+BAT, Mode: 21, TV: NTSC, S-RAM: 8Kb, ROMid: ???? Company: ??

[jmaxime89]

Sorry it wasn’t clear, my roms are all in

pi/home/RetroPie/snes/roms

All of my roms shoes in emulationstation, I just can’t start them and when I revert it back to retroarch they all start

Thanks for your very fast answer !
