@mitu Thanks for the reply. I apologize, I'm rather new to using RetroPie on Ubuntu. I was just going by what the default value was on the emulator selection screen when you press a button while the ROM is launching.

I ended up installing lr-mupen64plus-next as you suggested, and the difference is amazing :) This is what I was hoping for. Thanks!

Nevermind, closed ticket, I mistyped one command, sorry. I cannot delete the question.

@TPR or permissions indeed :-) ...

Glad you figured it out. Personally I love Dosbox pure. The way it lets you pick files to execute, then set an autostart is brilliant for first install. And the way it autoconfigures a controller map for a good chunk of games. Quite excellent.

One point to note. On my GPi it looks like I could probably have hard-coded the value to unbind/bind the built in controller. But I felt it was taking a risk it wouldn't work right. So, instead, I use a temp file to pass the value between scripts.

@duglor cool, let me know if you need help!

@biccahobz123 have a look into mitus post. You are in KIDS-Mode and have to change back to normal ;)

@YFZdude I see. Thanks for the info and the tip. But the issue I have, and the reason I wanted for every button to work on d-input, is the fact that both controllers have the same name in switch mode, which is a problem with their wildly different layouts.

Update your EmulationStation package and try again.

@mitu This is just what I was looking for. I performed an update within retropie config and got the same result. couldn't access any setup menu. copying the ROMs and Bios over, but a couple of BIN files wouldn't copy (admin permission required). I guess after I reflash the SD card, this won't be a problem putting all my ROMs back?

@georgeio111 didn't you say:

.. I brought it approx 5 years ago with all games already on it. ..

This is one of the systems we don't support here in the forums - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu I was able to set a system variable OS_NAME=RetroPie and re-ran the script from GIT and the install works now. Not 100% fully tested at this point but at least RetroPie sees the “New” controller

Here is the updated config.txt file

I’ll give it another whirl, bit I don’t remember that working when I tried it.......thanks. @Crush

@DanTarl

Hi DanTarl - I created a forum account just to thank you for this tip.

I was frustrated by my zero delay encoder going in to disconnect/reconnect loop (led flashing) while using MAME on Ubuntu v22. Adding this to the Grub Linux boot parameters fixed the problem immediately.

The line now looks like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x00000400"

Detailed instructions for editing Ubuntu boot parameters here.

Thanks again - solving this seemed like such a longshot!

@saku00 so I tried some Naomi 2 games on the standalone flycast on a pi4 2gb. Good news and bad.

They boot. But they're absolute slide shows. 4-7 FPS at best.

https://ibb.co/fvXsjwn - you can see the FPS counter in the corner. So I would say Naomi2 is a no for a pi4. Not surprising given they're basically PS2/GameCube/Xbox graphic games. Maybe a pi5 or 6 in a few years will be able to handle that.

@lostless Thanks. I actually figured it out. There's a custom config setting on the bottom left. If you select it for every game, it won't affect others. Just never noticed it before!
