Is there a hack of something for Retropie that will allow the D-pad to work instead of the Analogue stick ?

Perhaps it would be helpful if there were a readme file on https://files.retropie.org.uk/binaries/ saying which versions are currently hosted.

@cyperghost with or without the parentheses its the same. One other thing I noticed is when i run “sudo i2c-detect -y 1” it says 68. It never changed to UU even though i put the info in my /boot/config.txt

The themes included in RetroPie can be installed using the RetroPie setup script, choose Es-Theme in the RetroPie system from Emulationstation. If the theme is not available in that module, then you can copy the theme folder (distributed by the author) in one of the following locations on the Pi:

/etc/emulation/themes (needs root access and it's available through SFTP/SSH) /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes - also accessible via file shares (Samba) at \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\themes

Please follow the instructions in the read-me-first link at the top of the page. Providing the information requested there will help people to help you.

@tr3v0r no problem. enjoy!

I'm running an UP Core board with pretty much the same specs and it runs really well. I'm able to use pretty much all the lag reducing features (including runahead of 3 frames) on 8 and 16 bit consoles with no issues.

Getting the audio to work is a bit tricky, but check out "linuxium" blog that had excellent instructions on how to get it working

@rrs Please read the forum rules - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules - no asking/sharing/linking for ROMs/games.

i have the same problem with the same keyboard

for the current buttons, you can create bindings with udev (hwdb) but the triggers are not recognized

if somebody could help us, thanx

@mitu It's possible but I think it was my installation of lr-pcsx-rearmed because I had another psx game crash on me which now works fine since updating it.

@mitu said in Installed RetroPie 4.4.1 on my build and Retroarch.cfg looks different?:

The global retroarch.cfg has more than 21 lines. There should be a retroarch.cfg.rp-dist alonside, that is the default on 1st install. Copy that file over retroarch.cfg and it should be fine.

Okay cool thanks, wonder where this other file came from and what all the extra configs do! I may have to keep this file to play with.

To anyone else who might come across this. I was able to fix this by updating the emulator from source. This added core options for different controller layouts and an adjustable analog deadzone.

I'd start from scratch because that's where the fun is at!

@quicksilver I already knew that, but thanks anyway, I am starting to use that until I get a new keyboard.

No, no, I get it. I wanted the optional emulator anyway but the problem is clearly with the roms/images and not with the emulator. I appreciate the kick in the right direction.

I was pretty sure I installed the supergrafx emulator but it wasn't showing up when I was selecting it in the list. After installing it manually from the source it came up as selectable and showed the problem was not emulator related.

For the SF30 Pro controller enable it for Switch and it will work cause i did that and i got everything working.
As for the other controllers i have never used them so i am not able to help out with that.

@rsn8887 there is a way to set systems that way. I do it manually in the retroarch.cfg for each system but there is an easier and technically correct way to do it but i dont know how so hopefully someone can tell you.

@mitu Thank you, y will do the last recomendation that you say and I will use the information of this video

I've used everything.
SSelph is fantastic but has limits, no way to scrape computer systems, horrible snaps for Arcade with all the filters, they are not those you get with other programs and same source. Overall great and fast for console.
UXML scraper is very good but incredibly slow on server. Work only on Win.
Skyscraper, i don't get much the hype, it's good and you can run from Pi terminal, so is slightly fast (not much) and give some very quality snaps (i don't like the cover mix layout), but he missed roms often.
Skraper - Very very good, it's fast but got some problems with some formats, like pbp (very slow), some miss here also, but generally is accurate, and great snaps (those you get around on pre made packs and images, mostly), works only on Win.
Internal scraper - It's pretty horrible, unstable, very low accurate, everyone hate it, but is functional and easily will get the spot, as long the filename is very true to original. Lot of errors - I prefer wrong snap than empty space - i don't recommend folder and overall scraping, very, VERY fast after last update. I would keep it as a last resort, but it has its advantages.
