I'm no expert, but I think RetroArch can only have one mouse index per player. So I don't think you can assign two of these devices at the same time through the menu. If it were possible to somehow make the operating system see two input devices on the same device index that would be one way. I have no idea how to do it though.

I think as painful as it may be, the only thing to do is assign whichever device the most games use as the default and then create game specific overrides for those that use the other device type.

@rasp_renegade hello. As with ColecoVision and Intellivision...all emulators....Google is your friend for any BIOS/ROM files. And also keep in mind, there are variations to some that you have to keep trying versions until you get the right one.

@mitu

I read this as they are looking to run the desktop over an SSH tunnel from a (headless) remote linux fileserver, hence my concern about latency. If this is the case, they would need to start the X environment manually, or maybe you could setup some checks to examine ${SSH_ENV} within .profile to try an autostart.

@t-men

Another check is to ensure the user running ES, is in the correct group to access js events. Usually input

@mitu

no, i will try thanks.

Do you have the 7″ touch display ? You probably had to configure the Pi to use the DSI output my modifying the bootloader configuration (the config.txt file on the boot) partition. To switch back to HDMI, you'll need to remove or comment the lines that enable and configure the LCD.
There might be a way to enable the LCD display only of HDMI is not detected through the use of conditional filters in config.txt, but you'll have to experiment and see if that's possible. If the LCD pannel cannot be detected at boot by the bootloader, then conditionally enabling/disabling it might not work.

Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu , worked...thanks a bunch.

@catx
Please delete this File :

system.sh in : /RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/system.sh

and then in command line :

cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

@lolonois and yet, it tracks their last-played date and even groups them into a last-played category if you enable it. As long as you have network access, you have an accurate clock I think.

@dankcushions thanks a lot!!!
Sorry, i read a lot of documentation over the years, but in this case i was too blind to have a look into the specific chapters...i only read the doc about "Configuration Editor", my fault!
Thanks a lot for your help & patience!

System apfm1000 is working :

@mitu Thanks - I thought it would be something easy, and it was that. All works now!

(Just in case anyone else sees this - the .desktop file is in /usr/local/share/applications )

You can see a configuration example here for Atari 2600; all games for that system will use the same overlay.

@mikeb said in Retropie does not work on pi4 with xbox one wireless controller:

following all the videos and articles

That could be your problem right there. "All"? You don't need any certification to post a video online.
Without knowing what you did, how can anyone help?

Regardless, it's probably just a driver issue. You may have inadvertently deleted a file which one of the videos told you wasn't important, but actually was. Maybe you bumped the keyboard while editing a config file. I don't know.

@mitu

This fixed the issue. I was under the false impression that a clean install from an imaged I downloaded would be the latest version.

Thank you for your help.

Press F4 in Emulation Station to go to the command console. Then enter:

sudo apt clean # clears the update cache sudo apt autoremove # removes installed packages that are no longer needed by other packages (so-called dependencies) exit # exits the console back to Emulation Station

@mitu Yes, it works with the select button, so it is fine, and defnitelly it does not worth to take so much of your time. Thank you very much for all that help.

All what I can say is for sure it used to work with the home button but since some update it stopped working anymore. I wonder if there is a difference between the xbox one controllers. The two controllers I have are the ones with the USB B connector, not the newest one with USB C.

But yes, I guess I can call it a day and use as it is. Thanks again!

I use a Pro Controller with the Pi thanks to those instructions. It works wired and wireless.

Did you have any error messages while installing either the HID module or the userspace driver?
How are the lights on the controller behaving when you connect the cable? Do they start blinking "side to side" quickly? If they do, did you press L + R to pair?

@vodkanakas I think the [A] means it's an alternative version

@sleve_mcdichael sorry yeah that's what I meant to ask but didn't word it properly lol I'll try this today and see how it goes, and I've no problem shaving a few GB off if it means saving my build lol
