im not sure on the version i dont know how to find out. but ya it still works in my pie 2
the image and instructions i used where from the petrock i think and it was a new sd card.
i did hget a sd card with noobs on it already when i got the pi3 and i started it up tht that and instaled rasbian but that shouldnt matter if i take that card out and put my retropie card in right

me and a friend tried with 2 xbox recievers and we got up to 6 controllers working
so this method is good

i will try with a usb hub later and confirm if it works or not

@CHRISCaPWN That post is clearly linked on registration and you are asked to agree to it. Without details of your set-up it's impossible to advise on this. It also states to open a new topic when asking for help (providing the information requested), so please do that.

no one had this issue before????????????? im the only one¡???? that sucks! why god why

@Allanbuzzy Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

So for some reason after installing and updating everything the parsegameslist was enabled. Disabled it and everything worked. Thanks for the help I hope its all easy from here on out.

Thank you Buzz! I'm going to install a 32bit versión Ubuntu instead.

I think this simple HDMI audio switch should really be somewhat front and centre with the audio config tool right now.

Some of us have been spoilt with how slick the jeos solutions are for kodi I think where everything just works (e.g. Openelec, Libreelec). Retropie is a great project, but it's got a way to go to bring all the config into the main gui, etc.. But this thing has been asked enough times that it should be sorted out properly.
It's the #1 first stop here even https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/sound-issues

SOLVED..?!?!

So no real explanation. I came home, scratched my head a few minutes, made sure my files were not set to read only, reinstalled the advmame packages, double checked my placements and linkage, rebooted the entire house... and it works now. Three randomly picked games loaded up. I need to map keys but yes, this is awesome.

In the attract mode motion blue & hyperpie, the sega and atari circuit board system display layouts pull from the advmame set, and it turned out to be one of the only sets I don't have, so this was awesome, not sure what all was wrong here.

Thanks again to everyone's help on this

@dowobeha

my controller has a D-pad, a left analog stick, and a right analog stick. I would like all three of these to act as movement controllers when in the NES emulator.

You can mirror the DPad the the left or right joystick for the NES specifically by adding:

input_player1_analog_dpad_mode = "1"

for the left stick, or:

input_player1_analog_dpad_mode = "2"

for the right stick to /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg. To mirror the DPad to both sticks at the same time, as well as your other requests, you'd need to employ an external mapping solution such as Linux Joystick Mapper or xboxdrv.

Thanks for responding!

I didn't realize that es_log.txt was an error log (again, I'm very foolishly new at this), and I've located the problem! The font in question needed to be a "TrueType font," and any other type like an OpenFont is apparently cause for error, which I didn't know. I cleaned out the folder and reset all default properties, and now it works like a dream!

You guys are the best! Thanks!

@RobotLimeLtd That is not the default for retropie - default retropie has

# Sets the "system" directory. # Implementations can query for this directory to load BIOSes, system-specific configs, etc. system_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS"

in configs/all/retroarch.cfg - perhaps you overwrote the config?

@mosi0815 Yeah you are totally right! I have one of my systems without any videos and it doesn't move at all! I wonder why the videos cause them to move??

@Bender2k no bt problems here. Do you have a heatsink on your processor? If so it could be causing issues. You could try turning the heatsink 90 degrees so the heatsink fins are facing another direction. The heatsink can act like an antenna and cause issues. Other than that not sure what to tell you to help you.

I think I just found the answer. :-(

@StormJH1 Hi! Yeah, it was the most recent update. I'm pretty sure I was connected to the internet, and even if I wasn't, the scraper shouldn't crash emulationstation like it is right now. :P I'm just glad sselph's works, but I still find it strange the scraping functions inside ES crash it completely.

@luetzel,

I am having the same issue: Pi3 with new osmc and retropi as addon. I have now PS3 controllors (sixaxis).
There are also patches for bluez for sixaxis controllors.
So how can I do steps 1-4? I mean a more detail description would be nice (using commandline etc)

Thanks very much,
Mumba

@mattrixk Thank you for confirming!
