    @dch It seems you're using an older RetroPie version and from what I see in the Docs, UAE4ALL doesn't seems to properly support joysticks.
    Try to update to a more recent RetroPie version and use Amiberry. If your gamepad works in other games/systems, Amiberry should be able to read the configuration created by RetroPie and use your gamepad.

    In $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs there are logs for each update you've made through the setup script, including what packages have been updated.

    @majorocd said in Game description file location:

    So do you know if it is possible to move /opt/retropie/configs to the SSD?

    Not without a reinstall and without re-formatting the SSD to ext4.

    If you wish to keep the artwork on the SSD, you'd have to either

    copy the downloaded_images folder on the SSD and then make a symlink from $HOME/.emulationstation to it. When moving the SSD to a new system, you'd have to re-create the symlink there, so the downloaded_images points to the SSD folder. move the downloaded_images folder on the SSD and adjust the paths in each gamelist.xml file to point to the new location. Useful if you don't want to add new games and/or scrape again.

    @raulitob said in Skyscraper .ini editing for network share.:

    And that works great but my question is do I need to add that to the skyscraper config file as well?

    No, you don't need to.

    Please don't bump your topics in short amount of time.
    Have you tried setting the control type to Dualshock - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#the-controller-problem-digital-only-analog ?

    I tried using inputFolder for both [nes] and [atari2600], but neither seemed to do much

    The scraping dialog that you start from RetroPie-Setup doesn't read your .ini file to look for folders, but expects the standard RetroPie folder structure.

    If you changed the folder in the .ini file, run the scraper manually:

    /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper -p nes -s screenscraper ... other flags ...

    EDIT: just to make it easier, you can probably symlink the folders from your SMB mounted drive to the actual RetroPie folders, i.e.

    /mount/network/Arcade -> $HOME/RetroPie/roms/arcade /mount/Consoles/Atari Xyx -> $HOME/RetroPie/roms/atari5200 /mount/Consoles/Nintendo Entertainment System -> $HOME/RetroPie/roms/nes etc.

    @nitrohepcat So...
    Situation A) Do you want left shoulder to be "2" and right shoulder to be "2"?
    OR
    Situation B) Do you want left shoulder to be "half of 2" and right shoulder to be "half of 2"?

    I'm not sure you map a controller input to "half a keyboard key".

    If the switch maps ZR/ZL to axis (instead of buttons), then EmulationStation (where I assume you try to register them) will ignore them as buttons. Have you tried to map them to LT/RT (the should trigger buttons) ?

    that said, if you want a dedicated x86 emulation box, you don't need windows and can run retropie directly: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/

    @dankcushions my issue there isn't just hardware based. There is very little support for Sega Naomi , let alone Lindbergh, RingEdge, and NUu2 emulation in RetroArch. These systems are PC based to begin with, and so far I've only seen any of them successfully emulated in Windows based emulators.

    @mahoneyt944 actually some games in mame2003 support analog! eg afterburner, outun. but yes, to use analog in games that have native digital controls, you need to use the retroarch 'analog to digital' option (although i would instead recommend setting via the configuration editor as RGUI meddling can be dangerous).

    but note that if you enable it globally for the lr-mame2003, you will lose analog controls in natively analog games (although that's only a handful).

    I've just had the same problem, and looking for a solution that runs on Linux, led me to looking in the Memcardrex code, I've come up with the following:

    dd if=<file.gme> bs=1 skip=3904 count=131072 of=<file.srm>

    It turns out the GME files are really just the same as SRM files with a 3904 byte header in front, the above commands strips that header and leaves a raw memorycard file.

    Thanks for troubleshooting this

    I don't think this is documented anywhere, perhaps it should be.

    I think that's what's implied by

    To update WHDLoad: simply delete the directory or the HDF file

    but I agree is not that intuitive and most of the time users will start the emulator without the BIOS files, so the document may need some details.
