@yorks361 Each line is one command to execute in the order they are listed.

@Sterophonick How did you get it to boot games? I seem to have installed it fine, got all the BIOS files and the emulator runs, but when I try to load up a game from a .D88 file it just sits on a black screen with "V2 4MHz" at the bottom and what look like a couple of disk-accessing indicator lights. Nothing else happens.

(I've also tried installing Quasi88, which seems to have gone fine, but attempting to boot a game disk just leaves me looking at a black screen saying "V2 4MHz". I can access the menus with F12, but nothing in them gets me anywhere.)

EDIT: Ah, wait - so far as Quasi88 goes, it seems I was just really unlucky in my choice of games. I managed to pick a 100% fail rate of ones it doesn't seem to run (eg Xevious and Pac-Man). Other stuff like 1942, Bomb Jack and Dig Dug all work. They still don't in AdvMESS, though.

I had the same problems using a USB sound card.

It worked everywhere except in advmame

I fixed this on two different retropi images using this process:

edit the advmame.rc

delete these lines:

device_alsa_device default
device_alsa_mixer channel
device_sound alsa

After that it magically started working :)

Thank you. That was it. I forgot it :-D

already plugged suction cups, but anyway for a lot of reasons (i want avoid boring you), i need to add weight to my ps1 case...
Are there some kind of issues with metals as Lead ? magnetic issues or i dont know...
becouse i really need more weight.

EDiT:
thanks a lot to steptoe, for totally answered to my first question.
i will do as you say.

now i need just to understand if there is some kind of problems with Lead in order to ad weight to my ps1 case.

@kjulius888 said in Controller won’t sync to my new RPI3:

I just got my new RPI3 console

Please fill out the information in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. What do you mean by console?

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Sorry for the delay in replying to this. Just wanted to update this post.

Ok so it looks like the joystick inputs, Start, Select and Buttons A and B cannot be skipped but once I get past those inputs I can skip away and save the config (by getting to the end).

So I just took some spare buttons I have and plugged them into the encoder and then once they were mapped I removed the psychical buttons I don't want leaving only one in my case.

Thanks to Mitu for the help

But there's more. I guess the /dev/hidraw0 device is something to with motion sensors. This appears to confuse emulationstation.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17650/dualshock-controllers-on-4-4-with-3b

This has a udev rule to add that removes that second device. Fixed at least one game for me.

@Kentinator there are several threads concerning N64 Emulation with the Pi, but to say it with a few words: your experience nails it.
Mario64, MarioKart64 and a few others work well, a lot of other games do not.

Hi Mitu,
Sorry about not posting that information, must've missed that post. I started collecting the data, but while I was running through it I decided to run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils

After that my save states worked normally even with auto-login enabled. When I originally updated the device was when the save states stopped working, but I guess now that has been figured out :)

It seems like the multiplier is locked. I think I was able to track down a reasonably priced 3.1 ghz core 2 to replace it with. Once I upgrade the graphics card in my main PC, I'll probably put the geforce 570 in there, too.

@mitu said in PS3 Controller configuration:

I'd advice to reset your controller configuration and re-configure your gamepad while connected via Bluetooth. You can reset from Retropie Setup Script from Manage Packages >> Manage Core Packages >> EmulationStation >> Configuration / Options >> Clear / Reset EmulationStation Input Configuration.

Now it works.

Thank you.

@teller In my advmess.rc file, I have:

input_map[key_lshift] keyboard[0,lshift] or joystick_button[0079_0006_3,2] input_map[key_rshift] keyboard[0,rshift] input_map[key_shift] auto bbcbp128[home_pi_retropie_roms_bbcmicro_thrust]/input_map[key_lshift] joystick_button[0079_0006_3,2] or keyboard[0,lshift] bbcbp128[home_pi_retropie_roms_bbcmicro_thrust]/input_map[key_rshift] joystick_button[0079_0006_3,2] or keyboard[0,lshift]

Obviously, the joystick buttons will be different for you. There's unfortunately not a lot of consistency overall between everyone's setups, so experimentation is probably the only way to get there.

@mitu So I followed the directions for the 3B+, and nothing happens?

Ah. Thank you for your responses. I was just trying to arrange all of the Megaman games I added and sort them by release date. Another I was going to do was just grab a list of top 10 games for each system and make a collection and attempt to put them all in order.

I guess it can wait though! It’s more of an OCD type thing for me lol

Thanks again!

I need to point something out here as I had problems using them over bluetooth.
Not sure if anybody else has the same problem but it been there since I started using retropie a couple of years ago and is still there now.
It does not effect all games but I have noticed it in a few, hogs of war is one that comes to mind.
I use to use 2 normal ps2 controllers via usb adapter and 2 ps3 controllers via Bluetooth for some 4 player fun. The 2 ps3 controllers over bluetooth always use to cause stuttering whilst holding the button to fire your rockets in hogs of war, the 2 wired controllers never did this.
The way that solved this for me was to disable the built in wifi on my pi3, then they worked perfectly.
I now use 4 ps3 controllers via Bluetooth with no problems what so ever now since disabling built on WiFi.
Hope this helps just incase you come across same problem.
