I wouldn't use Mario all stars as your test - it has a very specific issue that might be making you think you have a wide problem: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#does-super-mario-all-stars-work

@Riverstorm
Thanks for you reply. I read the post also.
I wouldnt be so pushy if I didnt know that the new controller (1967) works with the recalbox... But i uses it everyday with recalbox..

Thanks anyway

@mediamogul Ah, interesting, thanks for that - will make finding a machine much easier

Ok I tried it and it fixed my problem,Thanks :). But with one problem came another, my pi "actively refused the connection". Do you know anything about that?

Just an update in case anybody was watching this (the original) post - I've finally published the guide... I hope that you find it helpful - please feel free to ask me any questions (as I've not had time to polish it quite as much as I'd like)

Details are on the forum post here:

@chrismalin Best of luck!

Please remove my account, reading back I see that some of my points/comments are totaly ignored.

People only respond to specific red flags and ignore the rest of my posts (see several examples above). I've just seen that I've been downvoted by the fanboys (who can't even lace their own binary shoes) for just pointing out a flaw in the handling of updating/upgrading KODI.

BuZz reply didn't go to well with me, it seems he isn't to bothered to reply to me or even read my posts correctly. I've done my part but I can't be bothered anymore.

I might just remove RetroPie and setup my own system the way I like it. It isn't that complicated, anybody with a couple of brain cells can do it and it's more rewarding!

So, pretty please remove my account.

Its the right shoulder button on top.

@Riverstorm did you ever manage to get your ipac configured? I see the Ipac not configured message every time a rom starts but it works because I plugged a keyboard in and configured it once before plugging in the ipac.

I agree with pipari,

Know_hosts has noting to do with logging in with a password...

if your intrested take a look at my blog, I have a post all about ssh.

I didn't have to do much config really. I don't have it in front of me right now but all I did was the following.

Update the setup script to get the additional bluetooth config options (you might not have to do this since you're on v4) Pair them through the bluetooth config tool Use the built in "Configure Input" tool to map the buttons Step 2 here retropie wiki except I used the string "8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad Joystick" instead of SFC I changed the bluetooth connect mode to background instead of once on boot (in the bluetooth config tool) so that I can turn them on/off whenever and have them reconnect

@Exmix is your Pi overclocked at all? If so, I'd start by commenting out all the overclock entries in /boot/config.txt in case this is a general system instability. I'd also check that the SD card is well-seated in the socket.

@8bit glad you were able to resolve this - was there any indication regarding the specific fault your machine was suffering from?

Cheers Matey

all sorted Thanks Again

@rbaker

Great info to know @rbaker. I am going to have a read and a watch of the links you provided and all being well with the info from there and from @caver01 I will get to a point of being able to play.

Just so you are aware I am mainly looking at MAME to play so not sure if that makes much of a difference.

Thanks
