@DjGamer said in Joystick for MAME,Mapping not working!:

@dankcushions Thank you very much for your help.

I would appreciate if you have an idea how to map the coins button for the NeoGeo or the MAME emulator. because that controller I posted the picture, doesn't look like an NES controller. so a bit hard to map.

sorry if I am very dumb in this geek world. I am just trying to make it work for my kid.

i'm not sure if it helps but there's other examples of other controller types here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#default-core-controls-for-all-emulators

@edmaul69

I like that even better.

@Bak-Sakk-N'Krak I've used the torrent that @mediamogul mentioned a few times without any issue.

Ok, so just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, I did the following...

Re-download and install RetroPie. Connect to WiFi and install updates. Download and install ControlBlock driver from RetroPie setup. Configured new controllers on startup.

After doing some more testing, I discovered that my conltrol settings responded the same for NES, SNES, and all lr-* arcade emulators. Anything using mame4all seems to be governed by different setting. So for the moment, I'll stick with libretro emulators.

Now, when I go in to RetroArch from the RetroPie setup menu and make changes to the button configurations, a few things happen. Setting buttons for Restart and Quit RetroArch requires that I set a button for Toggle Hotkeys. I'd prefer not to have to do that. Making those button changes also causes Select+Start in NES and SNES to stop quiting RetroArch.

I feel like I'm getting closer, but the hotkeys are still throwing me off.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'll be honest the Sega Master System version of Rampage is really good.

It is indeed. I've also found that if you set

sync_resample internal

in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame.rc, then the audio tends to behave itself in AdvanceMAME. As a result, 'Rampage' runs really well for me there.

@r4mbleon I thought for some reason that was part of the autostart script but maybe it was something we discussed and never implemented. it was a while ago that we did it.

For now yes i think its something that can (should) be added to the manual installation page and/or the FAQ page.

also in case you want to have both the splash and the desktop environment you can use plymouth though its a tad (lot) more involved than switching out a png

Hi @cineraphael

I would suggest you start a support request by completing the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first as you will be requested for this information anyway.

If you are overclocking your Pi, you need to let us know what you are doing. Maybe start by uploading your /boot/config.txt to pastebin. Also, how are you cooling your Pi?

from the old forums.

there are also many guides throughout the mame community. at some point someone may feel ambitious enough to make a guide on the wiki

@rod psp doesn't need a bios. With psx you can use one psx bios to run all psx games.

@darkbibble here's the module code.

A lack of alternatives is never great, but I'm always thankful when I have at least one option available. Building a better mouse trap would be ideal here. The list of features already outweighs anything I've seen on Mac and Windows, but the ease of use could definitely be improved. Maybe someday that will happen, or perhaps even a challenger will rise through the ranks. Until then, sometimes we just have to dance with the only available partner. Even if it is TINA.

@a7mag3ddon Yes on both. Sorry.

@DarkWolf

Thanks a lot, as usual ;)

@dankcushions thanks, I had the last retropie, but for some reason the reicast was previous version, now im playing with 2 player MVSC2, soul calibur, Sonic, etc with my friends in my family property (its like a farm, far away from everything but for vacations its awesome) with the latest version, updated and works like charm, thanks guys , you're really awesome

@AlexMurphy

All good options.
