Reading the replies from @doug and @b3n, I've managed to implement the fix by giving a change to the report when the controller is connected.

Good: The driver works even with the latest driver available. It just change the report of the given controller, so, other controllers will remain functional.

Bad: The controller only works with the cable and the player's count LEDs turn on in a weird way.

TODO: I still want to make this driver actually doable. Any help will be very welcome.

Edit: The original driver will be kept. It can be enabled again by deleting the line 'blacklist hid-sony' in /etc/modprobe.d/generikit.conf.

@AlphaBetaPie said in Lethal Enforcers Always Sideways When Loaded in Mame:

I'm wondering why Retropie doesn't come with these other, more compatible cores as their default (instead of Mame). Seems based on what you folks are saying, it's a better option.

it does? lr-fbneo is in the default image and is recommended in the docs

lr-mame2003-plus is an optional install, which makes sense to me as it has an ever-changing romset, so you'd need to manually build it (the ones in circulation appear years out of date). i don't think that's a reasonable expectation for users to do by default.

the same could be said of lr-fbneo, but it appears pretty trivial to acquire near-current sets.

@10vorne you got me on that one.

Yes, the sound issue is a known thing on vice64. I found it when I tried to run Dino Eggs and Beachhead II. It was missing certain effects and voice sounds. Like you, I kept screwing with settings until I found it.

I don't know what's causing the other issue. If F7 works in Bruce Lee, it's not lr-vice. Perhaps it's just how lr-vice is interacting with 7cities?

Try Beachhead II. That's another one that you need function key input to start the game. If it works, you don't need to remap anything.

@10vorne By switching from FastSid to ReSid 6581, the high-frequency beeping in vice x64 is gone.

@Manukan said in Splashscreen Video not playing every time:

@mitu It is still only playing every time, can I start this service earlier in the boot-process to make it more consistent?

Not sure what you mean, the splashscreen service is already started pretty early during the boot sequence.

@10vorne

Hi. Yes they both us the same emulator, but have to be setup specifically otherwise you keep over riding the settings of each. It's tricky at first, but once you get it setup, it works great.

Did you have a look at this to thread? It's the go-to for how to properly setup Atari 800/5200 in RetroPie.

@Chadmon10 said in Retropie won't boot into a rom, tries, then goes to command line.:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive "/RetroPie/roms/megadrive/Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (World).md"

You forgot the ~ in ~/RetroPie/roms/megadrive/Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (World).md.

Solution: Posting this in case someone else runs into this problem.
Apparently the simple explanation is that Moonlight can only read one configuration file. So the solution was

copy the controller config strings of both controllers into one single .map file. in the global.conf set both controllers to use the same .map file (where all controller mappings are stored)

So my global.conf now looks like this:

# global config file for moonlight input = /dev/input/event0 mapping = /home/pi/msigc302.map input = /dev/input/event1 mapping = /home/pi/msigc302.map quitappafter = true

Ok, so the stutter goes away if I set baud rate of Bluetooth to 460800:
Run sudo nano /boot/config.txt and then append the following

# Enable autoprobing of Bluetooth driver dtparam=krnbt=on # Increase Bluetooth baud rate dtparam=krnbt_baudrate=460800

The idea was taken from here: https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/issues/205

Now only the playback delay left.

You need to give more details about your setup and what exactly have you tried - start with the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
The Pi4 doesn't support the same rotation options as previous models, so editing config.txt will not work.

@mitu Cheers!

Add some more details about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

If you modified the command line for the emulator to add the streaming parameter, post the modified command line here and the emulator's log file (from /dev/shm/runcommand.log).

@10vorne said in Using Mame in older version:

Which emulator (on which most games run) and in which version would you recommend me?

Most 2D games will work in FBNeo and/or MAME2003-plus, which should be your primary choices because they have tighter integration within the libretro api. Note that they are outside of MAME versioning but finding their romsets isn't hard. Other games might be supported or not by more recent versions of MAME.

@PARALAX Yes, delete all folders and files.

@GreenHawk84

I had been searching for a suitable answer to this question for awhile and never found one, finally figured it out myself so I figured I would share.

When you are editing the controls for the game you can set the Mapped Controller, set your player 2 mapped controller to player 1 and now both "controllers" will act as inputs for player 1.

This has to be done in game and make sure to only save the game remap file, not the core.

@gizmo90

if you're using a Windows based PC, grab WinSCP. Use that for working with the file and folder structure. It will help you learn quickly where things are and make it easy to load/delete files

Then Putty to work with the permissions and other issues you will come across that require "sudo" based commands.

@Nathan1031982

My rom works with lr-mame and mame.
You just need to find the correct rom.
You can find 0.243 roms in mame-merged.
