I am having this problem and it is preventing installallation. What folder structure should be present? I have done a resize and installed the latest emus via wifi from pi and reformatted two different boot disks 32G and 64...

@rustymg Ooh, that's odd. I just use the joystick, if that doesn't work I have no idea what to suggest.

@polygaryd You only have a copy of Kodi in your system, the shortcut is probably installed by the Kodi package.

@buzz Thanks for the explanation. Would it be possible to exempt long time and/or high post count users from the spam detection? That would fix this issue with low risks, apart from such an account being hacked or a spammer posing as a normal user for months before beginning to spam.

edit: Added the italicised text.

@3boysandagirl Good morning (it's morning where I am). I'm sorry to say that, but it would be really better if you'd just fill out the form in the "Read this first" article and post it here. You also didn't answer my question about the wiki page. Without comprehensive and detailed information, and answers to all questions you were given, it's very hard to help you. That's the reason the form exists.

In the section "USB Devices connected" of the form, please enter the complete model name of the adapter. If possible, give us the output of this command:

It lists all connected usb devices as well as their vendor and model IDs (xxxx:yyyy). Those are good for a web search about a particular device.

And as mentioned before, any messages received would be helpful, as well as the commands you used (e.g. the exact command and output of bluetooth ctrl you mentioned). Please put all commands and messages into code blocks like I did with the lsusb command.

Although I use xinput mode on my gaming PC i will give it a go as I can just use my duelshock 4 on my PC so i'll give it a go and update you guys on the results.
Edit: nothing in games like dinput and unlike dinput the trigger didn't work so it looks like switch mode is the only one that works however as I said I use that for my switch so is there anything else I could try or am I stuck with switch mode.

@mrdowntempo no problem. Just remember one thing, linux is case sensitive so caps and lowercase are important. Even though if you are inside dosbox and you want to run say WOLF.EXE you can type wolf or wolf.exe, when you do it in a .sh file, even though it actually runs the commands inside of dosbox you have to have it say WOLF.EXE.

However, if you do it in a .conf file it doesnt matter.

@caver01 Well it was a lucky coincidence that I did the migration shortly after I read this thread. I wouldn't have done that only out of curiosity. :)

@gomisensei Yes it is, when you enable launch images.

Have a look at this:

@zero2k Shouldn't make a difference.

I doubt there would be any advantage of running on 64bit (aarch64) OS, in fact many emulators are likely to run slower as they have armv7/neon optimisations which wouldn't work on aarch64.

@mitu I gave it another shot and moving the line to autostart did the trick! Music still starts and I get to keep the music folder on my usb stick. Thanks!

You must understand that you've given us fairly little to work with. No specifics on hardware, no logs, no EmulationStation version, no real source for the error, etc. It's kind of why the warning before posting exists: the more info you provide, the more likely you are to get an attempt at an answer.

Let me try something: do you hear audio in everything? Are you using videos? When do you get that error - in an emulator? In EmulationStation?

Either way, in the sound menu from EmulationStation try to change the audio device one by one, restart and see if the error persists.

And yes, I suppose if nobody answered it's likely nobody has had that error.

Best of luck.

Slight correction to my above post. After restarting the pi, the stop emulationstation and start emulationstation script no longer works. It is stopping emulationstation but no longer will resume it.

@capeman
Keywiz works great on PC but it uses a PS/2 port. Would it work with a PS/2 USB adapter?
-I just got a GPWIZ 40 but it's giving me fits. I can only get one joystick to work and none of the buttons are recognized at all. I'd really like to know what people are using other than a keyboard to play games without having to write your own program to get it to work.

@lodan-zark have you tried the test image
