Thanks to both of you! I have something like 90% of my stuff copied over and now just have to go through to tweak some of my custom settings.

@mitu thanks mitu, i try it!!! I was reading some posts about it

@jillyo what is the filename of the image file you downloaded? Are you sure you got the right one for Pi3?

I think I figured out my mistake. Since I was using an Xbox controller I was using the optional Xbox Driver. I uninstalled this and now everything works great. Thanks for taking a look!

@derdotzi1982 said in same controller, same config - but not the same at all:

Mayby the wirring (button - controller) is not identical. But how can i generate a second "inputConfig"-controller-entry?

You can't, the configuration is based on the name of the controller. Since both controllers are using the same name it's a single configuration for both - in EmulationStation or emulators. Fix the wiring, so it's identical, and everything will be ok.

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

@mitu Thank You

I was able to type 'vlc' into the command prompt and saw that it was available. I'm not sure if ioJukebox works on Attract Mode, as it produced an error attempting to load the layout.nut file. If anyone has ideas on what to do next or if I could use another media player, I'd be willing to try it. I also looked into Fruitbox, but it only works on the Pi Zero, 1, 2, and 3 models only.

@itsthex said in Controller Issues - Buttons Inop, Controls change:

I picked up a Vilros Pi 4 kit to use with VMAN's 512gb image. Consensus seems to be that one shouldn't use a prebuilt image, but I figured I couldn't go wrong with what was seemingly regarded as one of the best. And, so far so good!

We don't support 3rd party images. Ask the author(s) of the image for support, or use the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

@drdave79

Im glad it finaly work....now you can enjoy your game again...

Minor update: I saw on a reddit post that someone solved the issue somehow by resetting the EmulationStation input settings via the Retropie menu. I did so but no change. At this point I'm considering opening a GitHub issue on the Retropie GitHub.

@meatsmeow said in Help please:

So what I want to know is, where do I configure that?

There's no configuration options for it - the RetroPie usbromservice doesn't copy the splashscreen folder, just the roms and BIOS folders.

You could create a simple shell script that copies the splashscreen folder contents from the USB stick to the corresponding folder in $HOME/RetroPie, then add it in the retropiemenu folder, so you can run it from EmulationStation whenever you want.

Please choose a more suggestive title when opening a topic.

***I am using an oem nintendo wii sensor bar that was modded to work in a standard usb A ports and NOT a Dolphin bar. This was done by cutting off the wii proprietary connector and soldering the wires into a usb A connector as well as removing 4 LEDs out of ten to bring the voltage down to under 5v. It works perfectly fine for wiimote tracking.

Almost all the guide I see for using wiimotes in lightgun games such as duck hunt use a dolphin bar and not a standard wii sensor bar. why am i using an oem sensor bar? because the dolphin bar went way up in price after the tariff war with china, and I have quite a few oem wii sensor bars so why not.

Have you figured this out yet? Using wminput method I was able to get the wiimote to work as a mouse tilt wiimote up and down side to side left mouse button mapped to wiimote button b and right mouse button mapped to wiimote button a. the other buttons and d pad on the wiimote are mapped to keyboard keys. No thanx to the guide I followed which you referenced here with the 3 different methods on it.

You have to read up on the wminput github page as to how to get the wiimote to map as a mouse/keybpard vs a joystick. You need to use Plugin.acc.X = REL_X
Plugin.acc.Y = REL_Y and map at least a left mouse button to a wiimote button. This turns the wiimote into a mouse/keyboard configuration and this works in lxde in the Retropie menu and in the retroarch menu in game but wont work as a controller or mouse to use in games such as duck hunt.

I could also use the motion/tilt as a joystick input using Plugin.ir_ptr.X = ~ABS_X and Plugin.ir_ptr.Y = ~ABS_Y in the wii button mapping config file. This works in retropie menu and in the retorarch menu as well as being able to somewhat control a game in an emulator BUT still doesnt work as a pointer or mouse in duck hunt. So you still can't use it as a shooting device.

I have tried a couple different new emulators along with different configurations in retroarch to try to get this wiimote to work as a mouse in the duck hunt game. It works fine everywhere else as mentioned but not in the game. This is so frustrating.

@jamrom2 Thanks for confirming mate

@mitu Thank you :)
