Bit late to the party, but I've just got one of these for Retropie and I really like it. VERY responsive analogue sticks, zero deadzone, and a very nice D pad indeed. I'd been looking at the Retrobit Sega controllers but although they'd fit better with my Mega Pi, I've never been a fan of anything made by them tbh.

Anyway, only thing - I'd like to add some thumbstick caps rather than take it to bits to mod it. Can anyone recommend a set that fits? Would Switch Joycon ones fit? Thanks boffins!

EDIT: NVM, answered my own question. Bought some joycon caps from local Asda, seem to be just fine. Bit tight but seem OK so far.

@lukabrazi the servo stik is the sanwa JLW just has the side car servo included. I bought just the servo by itself to install on a JLW. I was able to get the servo working in both windows and linux (from katie snow) as well as just using a switch on the top of the CP (this requires flashing the servo though and it will never work with software after that!).

Any good?

Thank you for your quick response, on this subject, after watching a ETA on youtube, he changed the platform to PI3 not sure of the constant name, as I'm on my PC writing this.

I thought there may be ways around it, but after looking at the forums a bit, I see it looks like I newish architecture for the PI4 over the previous models, pitty I like RetroPie, tried DietPi, and got lost, and just started eating :).

Anyways if it's not possible than thank you

@mitu Thanks for the info. Sorry for jumping in. My brain didn't register that this was a RPi4 specific thread. FWIW, Turns out my issue was xpadneo README's instructions for raspbian. Installing the raspberrypi-kernel-headers package on 4.5.1 causes the buster headers to be installed on top of the stretch ones (which are already present on the retropie image).

@jodiefoster clrmamepro works, you are either not using it properly or using the wrong dat file

@jodiefoster said in Question about mame roms(please read all):

their is no 100% accurate .dat out there you will find

Those dat files are directly generated by the emulator using its own code, they are 100% accurate by definition.

for me, regardless of whether he was obligated by the license or not, the email reads snarky and hostile:

Not to be a complete ass or anything, but technically the LGPL license REQUIRES you to make the sources available when it’s released.

capital letters, and just sending it in the first place considering the author had not refused to release the source, just not got around to it yet (and given that it came out in june, can't have been long). considering that this is the author, and not a forker, clearly we can give some leeway, especially considering he clearly had rushed to get RPI4 support done quickly.

the intention of the LGPL is not to be used to needle volunteer developers. i just kind imagine this kind of mindset , but we see it ALL the time :(

@ExarKunIv @cyperghost Good to hear. Thanks for testing out the new changes.

Me neither. If bitbucket does support such a feature, it could be useful to future revisions of the scriptmodule.

Now I will update the scriptmodule in the PR for the RetroPie project. :-)

You can use the RetroArch network interface to send commands to RA through a script that's called when you press the button - http://docs.libretro.com/development/retroarch/network-control-interface/#enabling. It looks like the interface supports the 'Disk Next/Prev' commands so you can switch disks, but I don't see a command to get the current disk index. Maybe you parse the RA log to get the current disk index and determine if you need to go next/prev in the disk index list.

There's no link to the code (?).
RetroPie uses a helper (joy2key) to translate gamepad inputs to keyboard keys, interpreted by the dialog screens. You can use the joy2keystart and joy2keystop as wrappers for your script - see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/helpers.sh.

Yes, you can - you'll have to install Ubuntu/Debian or a compatible enough distro (like Linux Mint) and then follow the Docs.

@matchaman @VictimRLSH I didn't know that this effect has a name. Now I do, thanks! :)

Alpha Mission 2

This is definitely it. Also happens to be my absolute favorite Neo-Geo game. =)

I use a set of these. They're real quiet and run off USB.2c10c519-c146-49f0-8a85-45fd574f9ffd-image.png

That's the Canadian price, so probably cheaper elsewhere.

@SolidHP said in How to get IGS Polygame Master working?:

It is strange that mine only the pcb version loads and if I delete dmnfrnt.zip

There is nothing strange, just a bad dmnfrnt parent romset, and as a clone dmnfrntpcb will pick a few files (not the wrong/missing ones it seems) from its parent so removing the parent is ill advised.
Maybe it's time to follow the rules and read the arcade documentation...

A new bang is registered. I don't start a new thread for this, as it is for an external site and not about Retropie itself (and to be honest, its not that important).

This one will start a search in the https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/ website. It will sort the romhacks by date, so you see the newest entries first.

@mitu Finally I got it working! I saw your post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19231/hardcoding-config-files/5 and followed your instruction on turning off save on exit and replace all the crap with default lines. Many thanks and I am so happy now! =)

@arcadez2003 i see, thx for Info.
My Problem is that i cant stop once i have speed and the whole game becomes terrible hectic.
But maybe i just have to practice 😉
