@tg4466 you need to configure the new controllers. Luckily it’s easy. Plug the original controller in at the same time with the new ones and press start on emulationstations main menu. You will see configure controllers. Hold down a button on one of the new controllers and follow the prompts on what button to configure. Now you can use the new controllers.

@mitu said in LibRetro not yet ready for Ubuntu 18.04:

I've done some tests recently and it seems the video_threaded = true setting is causing the black video in RetroArch.
If you're willing to give it a try, modify the setting in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg or through the Advanced configuration editor and

put back gl as video driver disable the threaded_video setting.
After the configuration is modified, you can test again any libretro ROMs/Games - no restart/reboot required.

This Worked for me. Thanks !

I corrected my terrible typos. I had someone ring my doorbell and accidentally hit send so it was half gibberish. Sorry haha.

That's what happens when you try and type on a phone with fingers that look like pork sausages and get distracted half way.

@mgrabow
if you choose the option of creating a game-specific file "rom_full_name.cfg" (e.g. centipede.zip.cfg)

input_player1_mouse_index = "n"

don't forget to add this second line:
config_save_on_exit = false

just to prevent an override of the main config...

@thom_retropie There is no Kodi 18.4 on Raspbian Stretch, only on Buster, but I can confirm that Netflix works fine in Kodi 18.2 on RetroPie, just follow the instructions. Don't forget to install pycryptodomex.

@mitu , thanks for the help.

Tried that solution, did not work. Probably it is better to wait for a stable port to rpi4.

@tpo1990 said in connect PS3 controller via usb - cable help!:

For me. I like to use the original hardware with my RetroPie setup so i get the most authentic experience.

Yeah, I am the same, it is all part of the nostalgia

@MrLightgun thanks I just actually updated to the latest version of RetroPie release. I have been holding off because my setup was working great for the most part.

I’m almost done moving my cfgs over and making sure everything is working properly. I believe I will give this process a try and see how it goes.

@Daistaar I'd recommend @Rookervik's launching images as a starting point - https://github.com/ehettervik/es-runcommand-splash.

@Darksavior Nevermind, I found it. That worked perfectly. I'm getting the quarter of a screen problem too, but that can be fixed. Gotta admit, I think I probably enjoy setting up the RetroPie more than playing the games.

Check the dip switches. You may be able to control the coin chutes. That's something I've seen often in the test/mame menu. This solution would be per ROM though, not per core.

@mitu it worked!Thanks again

If you can read them via the terminal, then it's ok.
What happens if you restart Emulationstation, after booting ? Will the games show up ?

@sscalley Thank you! This was exactly my issue as well, although I was using a pre-made image from somewhere else that had the same permissions issues.

For me, since my gamelist.xml files were in the roms directory, I needed to do the following:

cd ~\retropie\roms sudo ./ -name 'gamelist.xml' -exec chown pi:pi {} \;

Worked great!

I have a similar behavior with the most recent version of Retropie running on my pi 3 B+. My Logitech F710 controller runs very well inside the Emulationstation, however if I start a games - regardless with kind of emulation - the controller stops to work.

@dankcushions Mr. Do!

This game should be supported in all mame version, what's the issue you are experiencing ?
