@mitu I sincerely apologize I assumed my message was clear. The buttons were mapped but they were mapped to the joystick and the D-pad, etc. However, I was able to figure it out this morning. I keep trying to change the controller config under Quick Menu and then Controls but it is actually under Settings and then Input. I sincerely apologize for the confusion. I really appreciate your time.

@krystalis I thought it might be more than just that diagram. I did have to do a minor edit to the config file for the controller, but I can't remember what it was. I hope you get it sorted.

Finally i found a really easy solution We Just need to press

Ctrl+Alt+F2, login, then write emulationstation, to go back Quit Emulationstation and press Ctrl+Alt+F1.

The mouse works like a charm in atomiswave and mame, just put the game, go to Retroarch, Quick menu, Settings, Input p1, Move the mouse Index and the mouse to see it, no need udev nothing! Just that. I try to logout but now Raspberry pi OS have a Login Graphical screen, so we can't logout and run emulationstation just from a desktop Shortcut. But is a solution to shoot in games.

@ksuquix , @Foiloutboy , @simpletone

the standard for fight sticks is

Y X L B A R

this should get you good defaults in arcade cores, a sensible layout in console cores.

@mitu
Well quick search found the problem with the .sh here. Guess ill make .conf files instead.

@busywait That did it. Thanks!

@g30ff Thanks, I sorted it.

I was doing everything right with the m3u file but I forgot that when I update the emulator config file in Attract Mode to include m3u via the network I need to reset the whole system for the changes to update. Bit of a "d'oh" moment really. When it was previously loading only one disc it will have been picking up the .chd files themselves as they were similar in name.

@jiryn map dpad and analog to UI under input general.

Mame2003 does not natively support analog so you'll need to use analog to digital after mapping your dpad.

Mame2003-plus does natively support analog

Make sure you're mapping (up dpad and up analog) to everything you want to be able to use either on.

@lostless You’re right - it works instantly now. I was looking for a solution before posting, but somehow this post didn’t come up. It probably should be pinned somewhere.

Thanks!

@bollwerk I have the same problem, I'm trying to run raspbian on pi boy. At first I was stuck on LCL screen, but after adding mzdpi6.dtbo + config.txt of original pi boy sd card, the screen is no more stuck to lcl but it has vertical colored lines. I don't see other things, only these lines.

Have you an idea for that?

PS : if you wonder why I do that it's because I bought pi boy only for using little piggy tracker, a free program for make music with gamepad or buttons. And the retropie which is in my original sd card has problems, each time I change something in the sd card (using sd usb adaptor to linux computer), emulationstation doesn't start for a while (so i'm stuck on black screen, and it sometimes start again completly randomly...)
So i'm searching something more stable and I already know how to boot directly on little piggy tracker it is working on an other raspberry pi

Thank's

@mitu said in Remove the RetroPie Slash Screen?:

See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Splashscreen/ for configuration options.

Ah yes, now I remember. I was able to do this on my Pie 3 B, but it had been so long I couldn't find it again (even though it was staring me right in the face). Was too focused on the terminal commands that I forgot about this menu. Simple and effective. Thanks!

@mitu thank you for chiming in, just been trying to do my research before posting so as not to create dupe posts here if at all possible; knowing this I'll try to rephrase and repost.

@windg
I am having this same issue with my f310 game pad and Legend of Mana on the psx. I have tried everything including setting all 8 pads to analog but to no avail. The switch on the back of thr f310 is set to X-Input mode, so the analog should work. What am I doing wrong? I really want to play this game on my retropie.

Update:
I finally figured it out. After doing the above, I had to save a config file for this game and then hit select and the B-button to reset the game while my settings were in effect. After it reset, I was able to use the controller. I was about to go crazy trying to solve this.

@leonjordan i had a number of problems installing the openbor scriptmodules. i suggest you try RetroPie-Extra version of the openbor scriptmodule, which will install an up to date build (65xx) with ability to direclty launch .pak files without extracting them.

I used an Arduino breadboard controller to turn my fan on and off. Also, 2.

@yfzdude I finally did find it; at least in my RetroPie, it's actually:

Quick Menu -> Overrides -> Save Core Override
Quick Menu -> Overrides -> Save Game Override

Writing this primarily for the benefit of future readers.

Thanks for the help on this. I don't know how I missed it; I would have expected save options on the Main Menu, but I'm sure there's a method to the madness.

@weagle got it. I found a wireless keyboard and was able to get out.

@bopnrgi said in l2ping not responding even working PS4 Dualshock Controller (bluetooth connected):

But what I don't understand is why l2ping is not working on my retropie installation. Do you have an idea ?

No, I'm not familiar with it. How did you pair the controller ? Did you pair it manually or with the RetroPie Bluetooth configuration ?

@alphabetapie Have you made (or found) some good overlays? Which ones? :)
