Some tips for those of of you having problems setting up the wired Logitech F310: I followed the steps exactly as outlined in the following thread after starting from a fresh install of RetroPie v 2.3:

http://dfarq.homeip.net/2014/07/the-logitech-f310-on-retropie/

After following this procedure I went into the MAME emulation and was able to set up most controller buttons by hitting the Tab key on my keyboard but I was unable to use the D-pad functions at all. I noted in another thread that someone mentioned that to get the D-pad working you needed to turn on the mode button. Sure enough when I did this I was able to set up the D-pad buttons to my liking. With mode turned on all buttons seem to be active except for the left and right joy sticks and the left and right trigger buttons. Also note that you should have the switch on the bottom of the controller set to X (the D setting does not seem to work with the above procedure).

I can vouch for this procedure working for MAME emulation but I have not tried any of the other emulators. Hope this info helps…

[quote=17408]There should be a folder in the mame4all binary folder called samples. You should have all the samples per game, per zip placed in this folder. [/quote]

Got it to work! Thanks very much for the heads up….

To those out there using version 2.2 having the same problem here is the samples path I created to get this to work:

/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi/samples

Note that when you download the samples file (which is in zip format) you must unzip that downloaded file first. I then opened the unzipped file folder and dragged and dropped the zaxxon.zip audio file into the abovementioned samples folder using my SCP file transfer program (WinSCP).

Also note that you will have to update your mame.cfg file (/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame.cfg) so that the samplepath line contains the above samples path. Those of you playing games on an HDMI monitor should also ensure that force_stereo is set to “yes” within the mame.cfg file.

Thanks again kitchuk! :)

OK thanks for the reply and your patience in dealing with a Linux noob!

OK thanks I overlooked the first command line. It looks like you have it set up so that either imame4all or mame4all-pi could be used. If I wanted to use mame4all-pi exclusively could I simply delete the <!–alternatively> command line?

<system>
<fullname>MAME</fullname>
<name>mame</name>
<path>~/RetroPie/roms/mame</path>
<extension>.zip .ZIP</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 4 “/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame %BASENAME%”</command>
<!– alternatively: <command>/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/emulatorcores/imame4all-libretro/libretro.so –config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg –appendconfig /opt/retropie/configs/mame/retroarch.cfg %ROM% </command> –>
<platform>arcade</platform>
<theme>mame</theme>
</system>
