@xtratos24 I just noticed that there's also a section about the Wiimote in the Docs:

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wiimote-Controller/

@rkoster Cheers, but as I said, unfortunately I'm unable to install lr-mess for reasons I don't understand.

@theRog05 If you're re-starting again, then get the 4.5.1 image from https://retropie.org.uk/download, which should have the necessary pre-requisites installed.

@mitu @grant2258 thank you both for all your help. After I couldn’t get any of my controllers working, I imaged a new SD card and started fresh. I can successfully use the Dragonrise controllers. I’m thinking the problem may be permissions related as for some reason the default account (pi?) May have lost permissions to write config files. I’ll look into it.

Thanks again,

PacRat

Turning down the gamma to "0.5" has made a remarkable difference. What a strange default option in RetroArch! Thanks to everyone who threw in their $.02

Nobody? Not asking for any solutions, just want to know if it runs properly for anyone else...

Ah, fair enough, I’ll just keep trying to troubleshoot tonight.

Also, it seems I was mistaken about my initial problem getting fixed- for some reason the touchpad keyboard will work a good percentage of the time (more often than not) both in and out of the terminal, though for some reason it’ll stop working every so often when I switch to terminal. Still wondering if it might not have to do with the latest build for my screen driver (because at least now it works more often than not), though I’m not sure why this might be a factor. Sorry, I just don’t know enough about Pi’s/RetroPie/Linux to know how/where to start troubleshooting. Thanks!

Anyone?

Do I have to map the controller for every emulation system like nes Nintendo PlayStation etc?

@mitu

@mitu said in One systems sample videos aren't playing:

@bfollowell What video player option are you using in Emulationstation ? omxplayer, the HW accelerated option, has issues with some videos. If you switch off the hw accelerated video, do the videos play ok ?

I really didn't setup a player. I just put the media files in the individual ROMs folders, along with my gamelist.xml file, and the videos showed up and started playing. So, whatever player RetroPie uses by default, and however it is setup.

Actually, before I submitted this, I decided to go and check. I found OMX Player (HW Accelerated) listed under the Main Menu under Other Settings. This was off. I turned it on, and the videos for TG16 start much faster now. There is still a slight delay, but only about a second. I still have no idea why it's only this one system that exhibits this behavior, but I'm happy with it now.

There was a thread about this in 2018, but I don't know if the two methods described there by @herb_fargus are still working.

For my part, I gave up on this and use an hdmi splitter and vga converter instead now to put the picture of my arcade cabinet on my video projector when I throw a party at my place.

I know this topic is pretty old but I just had this happen to me. It happened because of a conflict in RetroPie auto start. I had manually entered a command line to auto start and then later chose the auto start option in RetroPie setup. Seems the two didn’t work well together. I resolved it by getting back to RetroPie setup in command line and deleted the auto start line. I’m definitely a noob so I apologize if my terminology is wrong. But I’m learning. Hope this helps someone else.

@Ashpool
Guess thats it
its 2.5 connect usb only

@mitu settled, many thanks.

Hi,

I've managed to fix that by patching lr-atari800 src before build.
Login to retropie host via ssh then do the following:

Sound now will work as intended.

@Simberg190 you can open an issue here https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues

Use another front-end, maybe ?

@mitu
Thanks, save/load is working.

But strange, usb calbe keyboard is connected, also arrow-keys are working inside the retroPie, but in the Game-Menu no key is working, also no (i.e.) "5" to start the game.
I must use the virtual keyboard (select key). But OK ....

@Drakaen391 Pins #2 and #4 can be used to input power without usb power or run devices with usb power so you have two to choose from. There are even more grounds.

Pins # 1 and #17 are 3V power outputs. I used those instead of the 5V because they would run the fan slightly slower which meant quieter fans as I didn't like the noise.

@quicksilver

I also remember that on original N64 hardware that if the analog stick was pushed while the game was booting up the crosshair/selector would get stuck trying to go one direction.

I also remember this, very annoying. But once my N64 joysticks were worn out, I put the analog stick back a bit to not have to press it as much forward to have it react.
