@mitu Ok I will have a look on that. Thank you

@mitu

Thanks Mitu. I ended up using locate to find any corresponding gamelist.xml for the Naomi folder(s) and wiped them, then I just started from scratch, adding one game at a time and it looks like it finally took the information. I must have missed something in there, but just copy/pasting by hand finally nixed the issue.

It was so weird. Before that it was even naming stuff totally wrong. Like I had MegaMan 3 for NES Playchoice listed in the Naomi folder. And a LOT of the games were being listed as Power Instinct, which is not on the Naomi. No idea why it was generating games that weren't in the folder at all.

@zering said in [Solved] Sound issue through HDMI with lr-px68x (X68000 Emulator):

@adambegood No worries at all, I'm glad it's finally working for you. Now you can properly enjoy the best game on the X68000!

Indeed, glad to have it in the gaming stable! Hope your Pi repairs are going well today.

@chobbins Nvm, sorted :).

@clyde said in Updating 4.6.x to 4.7.1:

My 4.6 installation became 4.7 just by the normal update process

And as I just checked, it's 4.7.1 now. So yes, it went all the way from 4.6 to 4.7.1. 🙂

@mitu I went back to my build and renamed both the image folder and gamelist file to let it rebuild new ones

I used both sources, but screenscraper seemed to work a lot better. It read the games, many were missing descriptions, but it read them all. Seems like its working now. I'll do the same for the Atari ST files and patch them all up manually so they have descriptions and images if missing any.

Thanks for the help, I'll say it's working...not optimally, but working. Lol.

Now...if you can tell me why the hell my Budgie keeps ripping his feathers out... I'll be good to go. Lol

@mitu OK I figured it out. Fist i got into Stargate on RetroPie and re-assigned the game controls to different keys using Tab. "Input, this game". F is fire, T is thrust, H is hyperspace, 1 is player1 start, 2 is player2 start, S is smart bomb, I is inviso, R is reverse, arrow up is UP, arrow down is DOWN. This makes my head easier to remember. Then I went back into EmStation, disconnected the USB gamepad and reconfigured the keyboard as main controller. I set key 1 as Start and key 2 as Select. I also set key T as B and key F as A. Down at the bottom of the configure menu I left hotkey blank and when asked, I selected Yes. I also went into RetroArch/Settings/Input/Hotkey Binds and made sure Press Quit Twice is set to OFF. So to exit the game now I press 1 and 2 together and it brings me back to EmStation. And when the Pi is in the cabinet (hooked up to iPac2), I can work through the EmStation using the Stargate control buttons and never need a keyboard or gamepad again.

Thank you both.

@brutalizer lol. I'll be lucky to have a tea :-)

@clyde thanks that's giving me something else to think about now

@solidhyunkel Hello and welcome to this forum.

See Running ROMs from a USB drive for detailed instructions about that.

@g30ff Fair point. I wasn't sure how high I could go with MAME before it would hit the CPU limits. I'll switch to 2016 and see how it goes. Thanks!

Run a Coleco game with verbose logging enable, then check /dev/shm/runcommand.log to see where RetroArch looks for each game's .cfg.

@folly said in CDI (Mono) and the game Secret Mission:

Yes, that's it. Conversion work, result the same ... a black screen.

Thx for your guidance. Wordt vervolgd :-)

@fruitybit said in Keyboards no longer work:

@mitu @BuZz
I may have exceeded the maximum ‘user error’ level of stupidity here.

Yeah, they promised to limit that variable to a bearable value in a future update of this universe fork, but I slowly begin to lose any confidence that they'll deliver that in my lifetime.

I 2nd OpenEmu. It's great on a Mac. If you get the experimental version you also have MAME support. Don't remember what MAME set that is though.

@studev That depends on what you want so save:

In Quick Menu > Overrides, you can save custom configurations (overrides) for cores and games, whereas in Quick Menu > Controls you can save custom controller mappings (remap files) for cores and games.

@oofiskoo Did you come up with a solution to this? I appear to be having the same issue.

I've tried using the xboxdrv and these are my results (any help at this point is helpful):

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

List of Devices:

First Device:
N: Name="Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller Motion Sensors"
H: Handlers=event1

Second Device:
N: Name="Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"
H: Handlers=event2 js0

ls /dev/input/by-id/

event location by name for later use

List of Devices:

Fist Device:
usb-Sony_PLAYSTATION_R_3_Controller-event-if00

Second Device:
usb-Sony_PLAYSTATION_R_3_Controller-event-joystick

evtest /dev/input/event[•]

I ended up trying evtest /dev/input/event1 for N: Name="Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller Motion Sensors". This did not work.

evtest /dev/input/event2

This command works.

The device I'll be working with from now on is the following:

Second Device:
N: Name="Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"
H: Handlers=event2 js0

List of control input buttons and ABS codes begin here.

D-Pad:

BTN_DPAD_UP
BTN_DPAD_DOWN
BTN_DPAD_LEFT
BTN_DPAD_RIGHT

Buttons:

BTN_SOUTH
BTN_EAST
BTN_WEST
BTN_NORTH

BTN_START
BTN_SELECT

Bumpers:

BTN_TL
BTN_TR

Triggers:

BTN_TL2
ABS_Z
BTN_TR2
ABS_RZ

Analog Sticks:

BTN_THUMBL
BTN_THUMBR

ABS_X
ABS_Y
ABS_RX
ABS_RY

In the end, I ended up placing this in the /etc/rc.local file

#!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \ --evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Sony_PLAYSTATION_R_3_Controller-event-joystick \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --force-feedback \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --deadzone 4000 \ --trigger-as-button \ --mimic-xpad \ --dpad-as-button --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt \ --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_START=start,BTN_DPAD_UP=du,BTN_DPAD_DOWN=dd,BTN_DPAD_LEFT=dl,BTN_DPAD_RIGHT=dr \ --ui-buttonmap guide=void \ & exit 0

And even then, I can't get retropie to recognize my controller as anything other than a playstation 3 controller AND now retropie won't finish rebooting.

It gets stuck after a message stating:

"You Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
/dev/input/js1
/dev/input/event3

Press Ctrl-C to quit"

And then the next 3 lines are about Samba NMB Daemon being Started, Starting, and Started again. At this point the boot ceases all function.

When I try the following command I get the same error message at boot.

#!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \ --evdev /dev/input/event2 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --force-feedback \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --deadzone 4000 \ --trigger-as-button \ --mimic-xpad \ --dpad-as-button --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt \ --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_START=start,BTN_DPAD_UP=du,BTN_DPAD_DOWN=dd,BTN_DPAD_LEFT=dl,BTN_DPAD_RIGHT=dr \ --ui-buttonmap guide=void \ & exit 0

I hope this information helps clarify my issue with this controller.
