@BuZz Thanks, yep I was using the Samba-Shares option, but it was weird, initially none of the folders or files under roms, bios, or configs were showing.
After leaving it up for several hours then coming back and trying again, it let me get into the roms folder, so I deleted a few Dreamcast roms, and it's working now. very odd.

@sabelstrom

Here is my pictures.

On this boot i got a bad resolution and i do not know why..

So the one in the link does work or not?

EDIT: found other Your posts, so it's the working one :)

@meleu Tried to replicate the issue one more time and now its working fine.

After entering 'attract-mode' into the command line, I was able to get it to work. There doesn't seem to be any art readily available, so I'll follow Floob's video instructions on how to download everything into the required folders. I'll ask for help again if I run into any other problems.

Thanks :-).

@bassman6805 Install the xpad driver from RetroPie-Setup -> Manage Packages -> Drivers and it will make the triggers act as buttons and you will be able to configure easily in ES.

It's still a step in the right direction. I think once I get my controller problems all sorted out, everything will be fine. What I'll probably just do is use your Joystick Selection tool and map everything out to just use the Xbox controller, and then the NES pads just for NES. I can still go back in and change that to the Xbox controller in the future easily enough, so I don't have to worry too much about using that "on-the-fly" method.

Hi, I'ven been playing around with connecting a ps4 to retropie. The wike from FreakyBigFoot was a very big help. Like it sad, i borrowed 2 controllers from my friend, one newer , so i needed to use the ds4drv.
Today i bought my own new controllers, wich turned out to be the new version 2 (light bar on top of the touchpad and grey buttons).
I disabled ds4drv on startup in rc.local, connected both in the bluetooth menu, and they worked fine! buttons get registered.
(with the ds4drv i couldn't connect the second one)
Maybe someone else can confirm this. I just tought to share this so someone could put it in the wikki to help other people.

Thx for all the help, especially FreakyBigFoot

ps i also did the firmware upgrade discribed on the wikki of FreakyBigFoot , maybe it matters

@XD3l I don't know if there stuff is also in the US but some electronic warehouses sell Xmas calendars for electronics.
There are 24 doors to open and behind every door there is a new (very small) project to build. Here is a list with experiments :) and I think there also is a kit for the Raspberry Pi online :)

Edit:
The kit with RPi experiments

Answering my own question. I will start a new thread with full usage

@BuZz

Ah, that's too bad.

I updated installed packages / kernel in hopes of fixing the issue. No devices were detected even with a cold 4.1 install.

The more i play with my Ubuntu up board the more I really like my pi3 to be honest it's cheaper and better less bugs and just all around runs better

You can get better performance if you do like Windows based emulators and turn up the detail but you are then limited on space. Sick with a pi 3 it's the best platform for retropie right now.

Thanks. I googled how to do that and it worked :).

I have this resolved after a bit of tinkering.
I had a old controller config in the mupen64 cfg file, I told it plugged=false.
Then I manually edited the config to match the buttons, using the same config you just linked to above.

this old post on the old forum helped too.

Thanks everyone.

@edmaul69 at the top right of the box where you edit posts it has a link compose? which opens a popup which links to http://commonmark.org/help/ which has all the info :)
