You can't because it will not work even if it compiles properly. Use a PC.

@herb_fargus Much appreciated. All those menus look familiar. I'll try that - handy to know that I can have custom configs for each rom. Thanks!

I am able to get it working now on Emulation Station but on reboot it needs to be manually discovered again, I wrote the script that finds the MAC address and make sure it found but it does not seem to be working.

#!/bin/bash
sudo bluetoothctl << EOF
power on
connect [MAC Address]
exit
EOF

I made the correction and was given a prompt for a pin I set it to 0000
It seems to be working fine now

#!/bin/bash
sudo bluetoothctl << EOF
power on
connect [MAC Address]
connect [MAC Address]
exit
EOF

Would that be the only change to make two of the same controllers be found on boot?

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the clarification and fast response!

@Leo1372 In Kodi -> Settings -> Settings ->Peripherals

Kodi 16 + joysticks was tested in RetroPie 3.6. Keep in mind that if you update the RetroPie-Setup scripts and make a Binary based instalation, you will get the very latest changes to RetroPie, so not the same as installing a clean RetroPie 3.6 image.

Ah brilliant! I really appreciate the information and a huge time saver on future builds. I struggled a bit with understanding the Retroarch inputs/labels are fixed positions on the controllers that can be changed based on the selected inputs used when setting up your devices. I have it straight in my head but I still find it hard to explain. I appreciate this new information and it will be a huge time saver!

I figured it out, i accidently clicked install binaries and it seemed like it was reinstalling retropie, everything is ok now, nothing dissapeared, so no need to transfer everything back again.

thank you Herb, I am relatively new to this whole thing so when looking at these instructions he says that he "created a file" how was that done?

Awesome! Thanks!

@wetriner Ah, I do see it in there.

I had to set up the hotkey bindings and all the input1 bindings - even though the controller is set up in Emulationstation, it didn't propagate to the PSX emulator.

For mame hiscores it depends on what mame emulator you are running. lr-mame2003 supports hiscores but i haven't tested it yet.

well, it very much could happen in the fork: https://github.com/Herdinger/EmulationStation/issues

i suggest raising an issue here. my hope is that eventually retropie will adopt this fork, once it starts to have beneficial features.

@deadpool There's this section in the retroarch.cfg

# The maximum rate at which content will be run when using fast forward. (E.g. 5.0 for 60 fps content => 300 fps cap). # RetroArch will go to sleep to ensure that the maximum rate will not be exceeded. # Do not rely on this cap to be perfectly accurate. # If this is set at 0, then fastforward ratio is unlimited (no FPS cap) fastforward_ratio = 0

I don't know if this is a very healthy setting to be using, or how much it even effectively speeds things up. There doesn't seem to be a way to get the really zippy frameskipping fastforward that you find with a lot of pc emulators. At least, I haven't come across it yet.
