@hansolo77 Thanks.

You may have a file named /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/MayflashLtdMayflashMDUSBAdapter.cfg or something. AFAIK, RetroArch will get the configs from this file no matter if you have a MegaDrive or an Atari 2600 controller plugged. It can be annoying.

When you want to come back to this issue, my suggestion is to hardcode the mappings for atari2600 in the file /opt/retropie/configs/atari2600/retroarch.cfg (you may want to have a keyboard plugged in order to solve the issues you mentioned for start button, etc.). You can get the instructions on how to edit it on the wiki: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#hardcoded-configurations

@Bishamontn Did you manage to solve this issue? I'm stuck in the same place.

@Rabash Did you ever manager to solve this problem? I've followed the Robo-Butler guide as well, and the python script picks up all button presses on the wiimote, but when I get to the gamepad configuration screen in RetroPie, it says "1 Gamepad detected", but pressing buttons does absolutely nothing...

@csweeper my normal pi is model b v1.2

@backstander said in Reicast Stuck On Time & Date !:

@Slugz

there is no select tab in the mapping.cfg

The Dreamcast controller didn't have a Select button but you could map that button to Exit the emulator (just remember not to accidentally hit it while playing a game!)

Change this in your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg file to use the Select button to Exit Dreamcast emulator:

btn_escape = 314

Did all this work for you?

yes got past the time & date.

will give it a full run later on.

thank you.

@vbs you're right. And it was already fixed. :-)
Cheers!

Does anyone have any further information on this. I too was following the same Instructables info and can not get this to work.

I have a slightly different controller then what is displayed, but it is a NES controller and not USB. I traced out the different color wires and adjust accordingly.

How can I test if the gpio is seeing any input from the wires soldered to the Pi Zero?

update

When I look in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg i see

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"
config_save_on_exit = "false"
video_smooth = "true"
video_shader_enable = "true"
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/crt-pi-curvature.glslp"

^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

when it should look like this when its working

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"
config_save_on_exit = "false"
video_smooth = "true"
video_shader_enable = "true"
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/crt-pi-curvature.glslp"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Not sure what is writing jiberish to the config. Is there a way somewhere that I can run a command before the rom is loaded, ie." cp retroarch.cfg.good retroarch.cfg "? That fixes my problem as well.

@loganmc10 I added it for both X86/X86_64 anyway (keeps logic simple).

I checked, Taito F3 games don't run on fba at the moment :/.

Oh for sure! This is just nice to be able to hit a button and let it do it's thing. It will be the same to restore soon.

@pomme if you put the neogeo roms at the roms/neogeo/ folder, then the config file you want to customize is /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg.

@missmeow13 So when you turn the Raspberry on it shows the "Retropie and says 13" games?

Thanks for the help here, I've got it working this morning after managing to corrupt my installation last night and having to start again (note to self: back up save data regularly...)

For anyone interested in getting Daggerfall working, I ended up using the version of the game that comes with the Elder Scrolls Anthology set. I installed it on my Windows machine, and then copied over the folders DAGGER and DFCD into a folder called DF in the roms/pc/ path.

Edit the z.cfg file in the DAGGER folder so that the line for Path reads DF/dagger/Arena2

Then launching DosBox, do the following:

mount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/DF/DFCD" -t cdrom -label Daggerfall
cd DF/dagger
DAGGER

The game should launch fine.

Will set up a script to auto run this shortly, but I'm just happy to have it running.

Seems to run OK so far, but I've not hit any external areas yet so I expect there to be some degredation of performance there.

@Lyle_JP nope, it's a LCD TV. And it occasionally shows menu items that are completely unrelated to the current system being emulated. Occasionally there are other menu glitches when exiting games (menu scaled or zoomed to only fit system name on screen for one). I could try scanning my SD card for error I guess?
