@Gators
Not sure what search engine you are using but if I use google for rom set 0.78 I can find a link in about 1 second.

I have 37b5 rom set for Mame and all the games I have tried so far have worked straight from the zip file including frogger without any sound issues. Not tried donkey kong as yet.

Cheers

@sparecycle said in Questions on saving state with Xbox 360 controller:

I'm attempting to save state on SNES with Xbox 360 controller. I've seen a few different hotkey assignments from the GitHub documentation and in various forums.

such as? there's really only one thing that's worth reading - the official documentation :) https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#default-joypad-hotkeys

Is save state enabled by default on RetroPei?

yes, if you use a libretro/retroarch emulator. lr-snes9x-next is one of those, and that's the default snes emulator, so...

What Xbox 360 buttons should I be using to save state? I've been trying select + L1, select + L2 and select + Left D-Pad which leads to my next question...

see above link. that does presume you configured your controller correctly, mind.

Is there any form of on-screen confirmation that the state was saved?

yes. yellow text appears at the bottom.

@kjozsa see: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1649/controller-stopped-working-after-update/14

Besides, since you need to go out and download a more recent full set and rollbacks to build the set you want, you might as well just look for the full set you want and download that.

@mediamogul I used jtest as suggested and Rumblepad is detected and buttons working !!
Still ES would not detect it even if it was working before 3.8 update.
I then rebooted connecting the Rumblepad (as a second pad) together with the currently working Xbox360 Pad. That allowed me to enter Input configuration in ES and, finally, it detected rumblepad and I was able to configure it. :-)
Everything back working now !
Basically for those still having the issue, you can solve it by rpi-update command plus reconfinguring it.
Thank you all for the support!

Thank you for your quick and spot on answer, smoothing out option did it!
The size of the launch message had no link to my issue

jstest is in the "joystick" package.

see this for help on getting it working https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi/issues/32

thanks for your reply. It works now using the hdmi_drive=2 line in config.txt.
just found out that the pi zero seems to be too underpowered for N64 :(
guess it is just my NES/SNES station then.

It's simply requiring a valid login to reach the shares.

Search the forums. It's been discussed.

@Concat
in RetroArch you can change the controllers on-the-fly:

Settings -> Input -> Input User N Binds -> User N Device Index

But keep in mind that it can bring some annoying situations, as I described here:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3014

@BuZz Okey Dokey.Quick Install it is!

also please format your posts on this forum - especially console output/logs etc - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Nevermind, figured it out :D Used jstest /dev/input/js0 and found the numbers.

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1496

rpi-update should sort it, or wait till a new kernel is packaged. Controller may still work in xinput mode.

@TruffleMonkey https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Yeah, it is easier and cleaner than the way you were trying to do.
