@muldjord said in Skyscraper not writing to mounted emulationstation NAS folder:

@beatbox32 Everything looks good, including your mount. Did you remember to re-generate the gamelists from the RetroPie Skyscraper script? Scraping the data simply add it to the Skyscraper cache located at /home/pi/.skyscraper/cache (which is also a symbolic link if you installed Skyscraper from the RetroPie script). But you need to re-genereate the gamelists for it to create the necessary ES gamelist.xml files and artwork files in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_media/ platform folders.

Remember to push space for each platform when generating the gamelists to select them.

EDIT: Skyscraper also checks if gamelist.xml is writable before it starts. It won't run unless it is.

Boom! Now it's working. Many thanks for the education on how the cache system works. I think I had a few missteps along the way where I was mounting the media folders as root and not the pi user, running into write issues initially. Once I resolved that, I apparently forgot to re-generate the gamelist.

All good now. Thanks again!

@mitu said in Retro-Bit Sega Mega Drive/Genesis 2.4 GHz Wireless Controller incompatible/issues:

Start the gamepad in a different 'mode' and see if the button is recognized as a gamepad input.

I have found 6 different wireless modes:

Key Mode LEDs Y Switch Strobe X Mac 3,4 Z ? 2,3 A Android 1 B D-Input 3 C ? 1,3

Switch pairs and is recognised as a controller in configure input, but holding down a button doesn't do anything, so I can't bind anything.

Mac mode, holding down home shows 'keyboard' but when I go in to key binding it lets me bind the home button. It doesn't let me bind the Z and C buttons.

Z,A,B,C mode all have the same issue with the home button as described above.

There is a wired X-Input mode (LED 2) which allows me to bind all buttons but I can't figure out if there's a wireless version of this.

There is a wired PS3 mode which also allows me to bind all buttons, but I also can't figure out how to get it to pair wirelessly in this mode.

Is there no way to manually bind whatever keyboard button it thinks it is?

Is this a bug with anything else, or a fundamental issue with the hardware?

@mitu I see thx, so do you think this is very specific or maybe more common and with more roms? or do you even know of a compatibility list of lr-gpsp?

@mobyz28 said in pcsx-rearmed and lr-pcsx-rearmed errors on pi4:

Based off your comment that the lr-pcsx-rearmed should be installed already, I am going to assume I have a bad download and I am going to reattempt the install.

I don't think you need to re-install. Just copy your PS1 games to the psx folder and restart EmulationStation, they should show up and you can start playing.

The hotkey enable button, being RetroArch specific, is part of the joypad auto-configuration profiles saved in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig.

@alphabetapie Edit RetroArch's joypad configuration files and remove the bindings you don't want. If you wish to activate the hotkeys later, just keep a copy/backup of the file(s) and replace them when needed.

@polygaryd take a look at the script module for minecraft for how to do it. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/minecraft.sh

@greenhawk84 Sorry currently my pc has broken down so i backed up Retropie and installed Raspbean so i could continue to work from the home office, so all i got left for gaming momentarily is my RPI0 which i turned into a Sega mini :-(

@tpr It looks better but still not full res. I have no experience with mame2016 but afaik bezels in current mame should be high res (latest mame won't run on Pi).
As you are using lr-mame2003plus would you try my overlay for GORF that uses both LR overlay + mame backdrop (for the lamps animations):
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20486/backdrops-in-mame2003-plus/330
It is high res.

@mitu ok! i won't. hahah! i don't either, all i did, was also add it to the roms folder and it worked...hm?

@o0mr-robot0o said in Audio devices not found.:

it's soldered to a custom pcb that holds the compute module etc.

If you replaced the CM with the 3b+ board, I wouldn't expect this to still work.

Should I edit that line to "yes"?

Sure, why not, but I don't see how it would work if you don't connect any of the audio outputs from the 3b+ to your device's speakers.

@pablomartini Gave up on the the Picade player X controller and replaced it with a cheap one from Amazon which worked just fine.

hey guys,

jumping in here as well. just bought a Madcatz FightStick Tournament edition PS3 which is running fine on my mac. It's recognized as gamepad in ES but does not give the option to be configured, pressing any button does not do anything.

Is it still required to install mentioned additional libs or are they included in the default image?

btw. I am using rp4, 4 GB RetroPi Version 4.7.1.

Thanks!

@mitu Awesome, thank you!

@mitu Thank you!!

@mitu I am on latest retropie version but I did upgrade from within

@mitu xboxdrv is not installed. I've created a new topic for this issue.
