@bjs322 See the documentation on how to switch modes - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#switching-modes.

Welp, I'm an idiot. I can easily customize them in the retroarch menu and save them there, just like the docs say. Mods, feel free to delete this if you feel the need.

I was interested on Milhouse build because it's best way to play 10-bit x265 videos on raspberry pi 3.
I installed it on a new sd card but they don't smooth enough, so i think I'll give up on trying playing 10-bit x265 videos

Or on Linux, do

sudo fdisk -l

in jstest it showed the controlller as Microsoft Xbox 360 pad

Then it means it's already working as in 'Xbox mode'.

And how to switch the controller to xbox mode?

Look in the manual for the controller, I just saw it's possible in the item description you posted, I assume it's some button combination when you start it.

Dude you're a life saver! Thanks a lot bro, i checked the manual and found that by default the controller uses Xinput mode(used by new games) so had to switch it to Direct input mode(used by old games) and then it started working..

Cheers..

RetroPie use their own fork from Aloshi's original and have implemented many, many changes and improvements.

@caver01 Great then, thanks!

@fuzzybat23 On first install, you will need a keyboard to configure your controller. You can do this by navigating to Options -> Control setup -> Joystick Setup -> Edit Buttons.

Once you have mapped your buttons, the axis mapped to turning will navigate a menu (this has probably already been mapped) and the button mapped to fire will select an item in a menu. I have not found a way to map Escape to a button so a keyboard will be needed to bring up the menu in-game.

@az sorry, that was my fault, I was typing on my phone. Glad you got it sorted.

OK I don't know if this is the best way of doing this but it seems to be working. The new config files were saving to configs/all/retroarch/config. The retroarch file being looked at is in gba/retroarch.cfg. I simply copied the content of the new config file and overwrote the content in retroarch.cfg with the new data. I kept back ups of the original files in case anything goes haywire. So far it seems to be just fine. Thanks.

Actually, I've discovered that Retropie doesnt cause the problem, not being in Pixel causes the problem. If I run Drastic as root from pixel, then it works fine, however this requires use of a keyboard for me which I would rather avoid.

that fixed it! Not sure how I missed that in the config file. I mapped it to Nul and it works ! Thank you!!!!!

Thanks :)

It seems that tvservice -s outputs the info to egrep so I simply addedthe following lines to rc.local before exit 0

if (/usr/bin/tvservice -s | /bin/egrep 'HDMI|DVI') ; then /home/pi/hdmi else /home/pi/rca fi

Simple and neat!

@jetsetfrankie Scanlines are yet available in Amiberry, but I understand that they are not far off and will be added in a future release.

@thorr69 said in Tab not working in MAME:

Just curious if this was resolved. I am having the same problem but the posted solution doesn't work for me. My pi doesn't have that file in that directory and thus it cannot be deleted.

Please start a new thread with the requested information detailed at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Using that information, we'll be able to zero in on where the file is located.

@gtoilet if you mean the configure a controller screen, the info you want is in the docs: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/

Scroll down to the bit where it shows the controllers and what each button on them corresponds to in retroarch. That'll show you what to map each N64 button as. Anything else you don't have on the 64 pad, hold any button on the controller to skip it.

What is the error you're getting ?
