@Riverstorm

Sorry, your post got by me somehow. That is very helpful information it's great to have it documented here. I've found that a few of these type quirks regarding specific js numbers are indeed configurable, but in the case ScummVM, the method has escaped me until your post. Since my last comments here, I've taken to mapping a virtual mouse to my controller's left analog thumbstick and have found that it operates more smoothly than if ScummVM tries to utilize the joystick itself. I've also since keymapped my controller with ColecoVision & Intellivision in mind and put the same technique to good use in working around the event order issue with Daphne. In doing so, I can even invert the controls if necessary, which is another known limitation with Daphne's native joystick support.

Please report any bugs with nodebb here - https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB - we are using the "Persona" theme and the default composer. Composer bugs can go to https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-composer-default - we are running nodeBB 1.0.3 currently.

Thanks a lot,
it worked!
I did search in wiki and a lot of other forum, trying to change a lot of things. did't type the right keywords I guess. Anyway, tahnk you!

This morning i managed to find a full-set roms for the mame's version that i'm using; and now most part of the roms works properly.
Thank you all for helping.

Using HDMI detection as a trigger is a keen idea.

Well actually it's more of a combo of buttons. With my configuration above, if I want to do a Save State I have to hold the "hotkey" which is the Select button and then the "save state" button which is the B button. Then to load the save state I hit both Select + X and to exit the emulator i hit both Select + Start.

Also just to clarify, the "#" tells the emulator to ignore all text after it until there is a carriage return (or new line). I use it to put comments in my configuration files so I can easily decipher it later on haha.

Lastly, with that Adafruit display, you might have to manually set the resolution. I've never messed with that but maybe this thread will help:

@Hywyn85 If your pi is to be connected to power but turned off via the retropie shutdown menu then a momentary pushbutton between gpio 03 and ground(pins #5 and #6) will restart the pi. Check out this from element 14. https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-78055/l/adding-a-shutdown-button-to-the-raspberry-pi-b Using the python script it can be used to start and shutdown your pi.

I thought the file was much smaller, it only took a few seconds to download.

Suure... Next you'll be hiding them under your bed and telling us that you're just holding them for a friend. What type of rom set are you working with here? Your goal of needing each file in it's own unique folder is a bit perplexing.

Edit: I'm not a cop.

SNES it was only 1.6GB and took less then a minute. You have to love 300mb fiber to the home.

My scraper will just make 2 entries if it finds 2 identical files with different names. If you wanted them filtered out you'd have to do that manually or with another tool.

@Riverstorm discussions are good! all i'm saying is that it would take a non-trivial code change to get the lr-mame2003 core (and retroarch) to cope with letting the user control loading individual games from a merged set.

here's the best idea i can come up with: something like how lr-fba-next dynamically builds core options around inputs, based the game. it's feasible that you you could dynamically generate a list of clones for each game, and then let the user select, and save it as a unique core option. BUT you'd have to reset the game for the desired clone to loan. this change is possible but for me it's complex, and i don't see huge value in it.

either way, it's retroarch and libretro changes that are required to solve this problem, because all ES can do is send command-line arguments, but retroarch/libretro have to interpret them. that's all i was really trying to say.

i learnt how mame deals with merged sets, so i'm happy! sorry if i'm being negative.. i'd absolutely love for more people to get engaged with making changes. it's fun!

try this (worked for me):

worked for this configuration: RP3 model b, external bluetooth dongle, gasia fake ps3 controller (same as this post).

use ssh or get terminal access, cd /usr/sbin/
set appropiate permission to this command (one time setting): chmod 755 sixad-sixaxis
sudo reboot
have fun!

Before you overclock and add heatsinks, please refer to Twitch0815's post and note the line about plugin.

N64 games run better or worse depending on the video plugin selected for Mupen64Plus. Since you didn't mention this, I suggest you start there. Try all video plugins for Donkey Kong, and choose whichever one seems to run the best. Also, the standalone Mupen64Plus has better performance (non LR version).

Look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/3dqcs6/retropie_n64_compatibility_list_rpi275_tested/

It says Donkey Kong 64 works best with the rice video plugin, and there is no mention of slowdown with a non overclocked RPi.

Finally, yes, use a power source with the recommended amps. Mine is 2.4 amps. The RPi3 needs more amperage than previous models.

Possible bad rom, also Xbox isn't Bluetooth, it's a proprietary protocol

@Meneer-Jansen

hm... I've completely overlooked the non-lr Stella. I remember there being some pretty interesting analog paddle control options in there. I'm going to have to give it a go later.

Thanks, yes he was running the latest RetroPie build and had everything pre-configured so the Sanwa joystick and buttons worked out of the box. Everything is wired directly into the 2-player Xin-Mo board.

Yes! Thats where its at. I was looking in the specific configs files a bit ago, and didnt find any files with references. Its in configs/all/emulators.cfg as you said. thanks

Thanks again @herb_fargus for pointing this out.

I had been under the impression that, once my Logitech F310 is recognized as such, the controller is automatically configured according to the specs at the wiki.

Thank you, yes using MANE4ALL,

@celly said in How to Exit MAME?:

Which version of MAME are you using?
I use MAME4All and hitting Tab on the keyboard brings up the config menu, edit the ESC key to whichever button you want to exit the game with.

^^ this.. I had to do the same as changing config files or input selector didn't do anything. I configured my "PS" key for exit. The keycode is 16 i believe if you want to try doing it from the files.

All very new to this, where do I map the PS key? I am guessing in a config file and if so can I do that via windows like when I add the ROM's and have changed other configs.

I am trying to build a small device to use in hotel rooms which I find myself in a lot for work.

Pi Zero, HDMI lead, PS3 controller, Bluetooth dongle and a phone charger which I need to carry for my phone.

not sure. but if you want a more useful error message, try exiting to command line and doing (for the OP's example)

gdb --args /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/EBOOT.PBP

then ENTER. that will start the debugger command line, then type run and ENTER, and then it should run and crash again, then you type bt then ENTER to get a useful backtrace, then paste the entire contents of that process here.

note that this is for working on your pi directly. if you do this via SSH you need to do tty /dev/tty1 before run, to make it run on your tv rather than try and run in your remote terminal window.
