Well... this seems to be the temporary fix... finally! Works good for me on the latest build. Just do what the user AnalogHero recommends at the bottom of the thread and it will load as it should.

This helped and I believe solved the problem once I tweaked my config options. Thanks so much.

@Lumbeechief081 I don't have such contraption to test, sorry, but take a look here and here for an explanation on what those numbers are and how they can be generated.

@Rubencn1234 Looks like a corrupted SD card - can you show a screenshot ?

@liquid-shane-o The forum uses nodeBB - https://github.com/nodebb/nodebb.

Old thread, but this is what i did.
Once the usb is setup and all files have copied move the scraper files to the retropie-mount folder on the USB.

mv ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images /media/usb/retropie-mount/ mv ~/.emulationstation/gamelists /media/usb/retropie-mount/

Since retropie automounts the items in the retropie-mount dir into the ~/RetroPie/ dir we can create symlinks to point the that ~/RetroPie/ and no need to change the sources in the files.

ln -s ~/RetroPie/downloaded_images/ ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images ln -s ~/RetroPie/gamelists/ ~/.emulationstation/gamelists

Following up - I did a reinstall of the Xpad driver (removed and then installed) and it fixed my triggers, too.

@StuMcBill said in Connecting 2 x 8BitDo Controllers - only one hotkey?:

however, only 1 controller seems to exit the game, by pressing Start+Select - is this by design?

Yes, only the 1st player has access to Hotkeys.

Also, there seems to be a small bit of latency with both controllers (which I know is a fact of bluetooth connections), is there anyway I can minimise this?

Disable the Wifi connection or get a BT USB adapter - what RPI Model are you using ?

Its a Pi3 B+, I'll try and disable WiFi and see what happens.

@X_Splinter said in Unable to use keyboard/controller after rebuild boot partition:

Could this be an issue not related to the boot partition?

Most likely yes. The procedure you performed is not guaranteed to recover another system.

If so is the main partition of retropie a regular EXT3? So I may browse and copy all of my files?

It's an Ext4 partition - should be accessible also as Ext3, but I advise using a Linux installation to try and mount it.

@mitu I actually figured it out late last night. As I was trying every game file I thought that there had to be something wrong with how the images were being called up. I looked again at both my es_systems.cfg & emulators.cfg and realized that I had it pointing to pcengine not pcenginecd. I must have looked at those ten times without realizing my mistake.

I knew I was doing something stupid. I guess I really should have stepped away from it for a bit.

@mitu Oooops, sorry about that. Will do!
Thanks

@mitu said in retroarch configs..:

config_save_on_exit = false

that was it - thank you!

You can reorient the controls 45 degrees in MAME 2003 and 2003-Plus by enabling the "4-way Joystick" core option. When that is enabled it also automatically rotates the 45 degrees games. You'll need to build from source to get this core option as it has only been in place a few weeks.

Solved. It was problem with my rom. I've downloaded the new one form the internet and it works fine.

I must admit that I have never used that package. And after scouring the github page there doesn't seem to be much of help there, but I did notice that there were comments mentioning the problem you are having with no responses.

What sticks out to me is the trying to install to /root/Retropie instead of /home/pi/Retropie. Did that happen in your 4.3 build?

I don't see what difference it should make but have you tried installing via the command line instead of SSH? Updating via managing experimental packages after installing?
