Most of what you need should be outlined here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/retroarch-configuration

It goes over controls and talks about the defaults. Look for the video Tutorial links. There is one on testing joysticks that shows haoe to test joypads and get button numbers. they are done better than I can explain in words.

@davesMODs ah. Yes that's a common issue. I forgot about that one. Would have helped I'd you posted the information requested on the read this first page, would have identified the problem immediately.

Install Kodi 17 manually or wait til Kodi 17 stable is released with retropie.

@herb_fargus As posted above, I had tried both the automatic and manual methods with neither of them working. I managed to get it sorted out now though because it seemed like there was a permissions issue that would not allow me to run the RetroPie script from the USB pen from within OSMC.

I ended up keeping all data and scripts on the SD card and mounting the roms folder to the USB drive and having it work that way.

Good to know that it just works and you can enjoy it ;)

@Luca1 you do need to go into retropie menu and go into run command and disable joystick so you would need a keyboard to change video mode and emulator. You MUST do that before this next step. To remove the retropie menu you need to go to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/ and find the folder "retropie" and put something like an exclamation point in it. So it will look something like "!retropie" now they cant get into anything they shouldnt. Just remember once you set it into kids mode you can get it back to normal mode with the konami code by pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right b, a, start.

It's fun to see how well this community works together and like to help each other.

@mediamogul said in n64 crash killer instinct mid game:

I am currently running my Rpi3 stock and I find that 'mupen64plus-GLideN64-highres' runs 'Killer Instinct Gold' very smoothly.

I should amend this comment, as I can no longer successfully run 'Killer Instinct Gold' either. However, as the software moves forward, these kind of regressions happen. Hopefully this game will come back around some time in the future.

Are you sure its not just turning off your TV? You can disable this in the settings > Perpetuals, CTC I think its called?

I believe some of the videos on remapping core input in the Retropie Wiki about Retroarch should work the same for the windows version (I haven't done it yet, but probably will here in the near future): https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/retroarch-configuration

I forget how many nice little things are in retropie like the ES auto-configs for Retroarch that don't always work when you do things separately (and/or on Windows). When I did try Retroarch on Android the core input mapping did work the same as it does in Retropie as shown in the wiki video links.

Even if it makes a zombie thread alive now :)

@batesman said in Two shader directories in 4.1?:

@dankcushions So is it possible to be able to cycle through the shaders without setting one as a default?

i think so. by default you need to hold your hotkey (select on your control pad) and press n or m on a keyboard, i believe.

You got it. I had to hold select on the control pad, then press m, n to cycle. Based on the way the hotkeys were defined in the retroarch.cfg file I thought I only needed to press m or n.

Thanks!

@curt7088 good to know that everything is working now :)
