@robca There's no automated 'translator' from the RA's auto-config file to AdvMame's configuration syntax. However, MAME 2003(-plus) have support for vector games - you should give them a try.

I got the Scratch 2 Editor to work on RetroPie, but I cannot get it to close. I don't see a quit command in Scratch 2, and I cannot find any information about how to close the Matchbox window manager either. Maybe Scratch 3 will work better when they port it to the Pi. I put it on RetroPie-Extras-unstable because of not being able to exit. https://github.com/moonpi/RetroPie-Extra-unstable

@mitu
I don't have triggerhappy on a Playstation Classic, but it is linux and has a systemd.

There is with "Network Command interface" also "Command interface" support but I don't know how to use this, I guess maybe echo a command at the process?

@dwmreg you need to change the keyboard region. This setting is found under the raspi-config menu.

You can use jstest (from the command line) and test if the left 'command' works. Exit Emulationstation and run

jstest /dev/input/js0

use the gamepad and see if the actions are registered. Exit the test by pressing Ctrl + C. If the button/joystick works, then it's not a driver issue.

@Darksavior Nearly everyone has coding skills, to a degree. Even a limited ability can net some amazing results. Ever play around with even Game Genie? I started with BASIC, years ago. How simple things were then, heh. C++ can be pretty crazy, and I will probably never have a "full" fluent grasp of it. But, one day at a time, anyone can learn more and more...and achieve results.

@cyperghost Keyboard is now fixed official. You can set hotkey to {SELECT|B|Y|DISABLED} now

Thanks that made it work

@mitu No, not yet but if I have any questions I’m what to do or how to set it up I’ll make sure to ask

@kok00 don't know anything about the script but for the record there are some non working parents that are required to make clones work so if you delete them they may break more games depending on the type of rom set you have.

@Deltax5 said in retropi doesn't show video but sound works?:

Looking thru the folders using WinSCP i noticed skyscraper is located at /opt/retropie/configs/all/skyscraper/
Do i just copy the the cache folder and copy it to a new image when the time comes? will that work so i don't need to scrap them. Or do i put it in the import folder? It will save time then rescraping everything.

You should really read the docs on Skyscraper - especially the part about the cache.

@mitu Cool !! Now that works. Thank you

@Creteloc

if there is no software from the manufacturer to change this (which i doubt for a cheap encoder like this), you might aswell give up, the microswitches you have, simply cannot physically handle what you want them to do.

however, if this is just a matter of the leds being too bright, you could just add some resistors to lower the brightness of the leds.

Thank you, friend! I'm sorry for the mix up and appreciate your time and response. I'll head that way now. Thank you again. Hopefully I can get this figured out soon! :)

Thank y’all for the help.

Someone showed me a different way. Instead of holding ONE button you hold TWO and it will skip.

Ok, it's working. Don't know how, the pi is lying in the same place from 1 month. I love it.

@mitu Thanks for the reply. Everything is working great, I was curious if it was capped or if I had an issue in my setup. Thanks for clarifying!

@mitu Thanks a million mitu, it's works. PROBLEM SOLVED. you are genius!

@WildkatCT said in 4.5 Reicast BT PS3 controller setup not working correctly.:

Setting up a clean 4.5 image, can't see to get Reicast to configure controllers at all. Ran the controller setup utility, and all the button presses are detected, but in the actual emulator, only the analog stick works and the PS button is mapped to A.

Oddly though, the controller works fine when plugged in USB.

I tried manually changing the values on the .cfg file for the PS3 controller in reicast, but it doesn't seem to re-act to the changes, or at least the values I have are not corresponding to what reicast is expecting.

How can i get values that reicast would expect? Something like JS test, but those values don't seem to work.

Hello, I am experiencing this problem too, can't get any of my ps3 bt controllers to work with Reicast after the retropie 4.5 update, please help!

I have already configured the "emu.cfg" as showed below and my mappings inside the "mappings" folder are correct for my controllers.
