I've managed to get somewhere with this. I was looking at the rom history on another website and it seems the dip switch function is broken in the driver. The workaround is to make the changes in service mode. I have tried this and can verify that it works. Changing them from the mame menu would be better, but as its usually only a one-off change, I'll live with it.

@Dipkid ok, it worked I opened the controllers and realized that many buttons weren't on the same slots and one of my joysticks was upside down. Thanks for your help.

Ok it worked. I just downloaded all the roms that were on retropie and it detected it

I guess ssd device is not unmounted correctly and marked dirty because it is always mounted again after I plugged it to windows.

@iss05e said in Amiberry - no sound through headphone jack:

The previous version of Amiberry inherited the Audio options set in RetroPie. I guess Amiberry v5.3 no longer does this.

It didn't, it was just a concidence that it worked. It probably just used the 'default' (which is set via the RetroPie audio settings).

I wanted update the manual way for anyone who needs to fix this in the future.

To run the script file you need to ```
sudo bash ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Once the script runs 1. Manage packages 2. Manage core packages 3. retropie menu 4. update from binary If your missing the RetroPie-Setup directory, sorry you're going to have to reinstall. Hope that helps someone!

please~~
My host is Piboy DMG,
I want to connect two external joysticks, Play1 + Play2,
But I want Piboy DMG built-in joystick and external Play1 joystick to control Play1 together,The Play2 is another Play2 joystick, the joystick is PS1 specification.

Because when I set up the two joysticks, I also set the "Combo" button, the Play1/2 joysticks can be sure to combo, but the built-in joystick of Piboy DMG can be controlled but cannot be combo.

Ths.^^

@psun03 In addition to what @sleve_mcdichael said, you can see the name and location of the remap file in the log:

... [INFO] [Remaps]: remap directory: /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/ [INFO] [Remaps]: game-specific remap found at /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/MAME 2016/tokyowar.rmp. ...

@hooknc Sure, let it be logged there.

@tribunal88 I have a pi 3 in that case, and I've had it on for days at a time. As long as you aren't blocking the ventilation so they Pi can breathe, the fan alone should be fine.

@mitu

right, cracked it, everything is working as far as RetroPi is concerned.

Looking really closely, as I held down a HID button the word "keyboard" very very briefly appears.

Clearly, I was working too late the other night, I can scroll up and down a menu with my HID keyboard, I was sure I had tested that, but the output is erratic sometimes the keypress happens as I am releasing the key, sometimes a press registers as many discrete keypresses. so I think the code I am running on the pico is not cleanly emulating how a real keyboard handles button presses.

the log output from Debug didn't contain any mention of controller config, so I guess there were no errors there? all I saw was a long list telling me there were no ROM's for any emulators, and then a "cleanly shut down" message.

I'm now happy the issue is in my HID. going to find an actual keyboard project using python, and reprogramme my Pico.

Thanks so much for your help @mitu

@adnifty said in Can't load save file - "Loading Task Failed" when hitting select+left Bumper:

On save state corruption/empty, how would I check that? This isn't happening with other games, so I bet this is the case.

The save state file is a .state file in the same folder as the ROM (file name is the same as your ROM file). You can either overwrite it by doing another save or just remove the file.

I GOT IT
MY PROBLEM IS RESOLVED!!!
IT WORKED THANK YOU

@Retro-Arcade-Fan said in Good news for Amstrad GX4000 fans:

@JimmyFromTheBay Very interesting! I'd like to give this a try as well. How do I install lr-mess-system-cpc6128p-cart?

It's super-easy, see the first post here:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29682/development-of-module-script-generator-for-lr-mess-lr-mame-and-mame-standalone

Hmm, looks like some freaky-ass invisible characters just got in there somehow. I cut-and-pasted the contents into a new Notepad file, saved it as a plain .TXT file, dropped that in in place of the old one and renamed it to .CFG and now it all seems fine.

@Grasscastle please give more information about your setup as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

You may have posted to the wrong forum - RetroPie is a retro-gaming oriented distribution, based on Raspberry Pi OS (and for the moment it's not supported on the RPI OS 'bullseye' release).

If your PS3 controller is already working, then probably you'd have to look into how the program used to read the inputs from it works with your telescope controls (connected via GPIO perhaps?). It may be that it's no longer functioning with 'bullseye' for various reasons, but without details on how this program works, it's just a guessing game trying to diagnose the issue.

@mitu thanks. I will try that and see

@AlphaBetaPie this is a common problem. there was a user who did find a way to do something about it

i have not tryed this, so i cant say if this still works or any more, but its something
