@dankcushions said in lr-mame2003 aspect ratio:

you've all twisted my arm :) i've added the option. re-install from source via retropie menu and it should be available. details: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#skip-warnings-screen

Thanks Dank, this is great!! The MAME gods have smiled upon us! I do feel those little golden rays of sunshine beaming down on us! :)

@Loxley

You can map your controller pcb to a virtual keyboad device using the built-in xboxdrv.

Keyboard Emulation

The following configuration will cause xboxdrv to emulate a keyboard, which can be useful for games that are played with keyboard, like Flash games or games that don't support a joystick. Since different games use different keyboard keys you might have to adjust the keybindings to fit the game:

$ xboxdrv
--ui-clear
--ui-buttonmap a=XK_a,b=XK_b,x=XK_x,y=XK_y
--ui-buttonmap dl=XK_Left,dr=XK_Right,du=XK_Up,dd=XK_Down

There is also "Linux Joystick Mapper" that is very similar and a good choice as well. It's not included with RetroPie, so you'll have to make and install it.

@smoothmalik This is a SOLVED topic. You have to start a new thread describing your problem.

I updated the first post of this thread with some useful informations. This can clarify some things.

(Hint: the forum has a search ;-) )

@dankcushions thanks. I'll check this later.

Thanks

But, I was in lr-fba-next next to other retroarch ports.

I solved this by start from the scratch with 3.8.

@05r13539 Yes Attract Mode will do all that for you if you set it up correctly.

Thank you I will try these suggestions.

Hello,

for me (PI 3 with retropie 3.6) it's :
axis_trigger_left = 2
axis_trigger_right = 5

and

[compat]
btn_trigger_left = 312
btn_trigger_right = 313
axis_dpad1_x = 16
axis_dpad1_y = 17
axis_dpad2_x =
axis_dpad2_y =
axis_x_inverted = no
axis_y_inverted = no
axis_trigger_left_inverted = no
axis_trigger_right_inverted = no
axis_dpad1_y_inverted = yes
axis_dpad1_x_inverted = no

And you can use :
btn_escape = 316 (Xbox button) to exit game.

Have fun!

Hi, thanks @BuZz - all seems to work now. I got a few errors flash past as it was building but nothing that has stopped it from working. Hope it fixes it for you too @simonster.

I did have to play about with the retroarch.cfg file in the /nes folder to get it to work with my NES controller, but fixed it by setting the player 1 control to:
b_btn = "1"
select_btn = "2"
start_btn = "3"
up_axis = "-1"
down_axis = "+1"
left_axis = "-0"
right_axis = "+0"
a_btn = "0"

All the rest to "nul". If I didn't do this then as soon as I started a nes game it would not respond - I'm sure there is a proper config, but I spent a few hours playing about with the config files before I got it working so now enjoying some sweet retro gaming :)

Did you by any chance install the raspberrypi-sys-mods package as described in this post, fourth paragraph down.

I am using berryboot. That would make sense then. Thank you. I'll try a fresh image only.

and fixed ;-)

fba version works just fine, great advice thanks. I do love the Dreamcast graphics but moving over to fba saved me 700+mb.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Oh exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot :D
