@BuZz Yes I did see it in a guide, I can't remember where. I am not enthused by the idea of setting up a fresh image again, but if I don't come right, then I will.

@cyperghost The buttons work in the games now, but not on the retroarch menu.

Stupid question but I don't see it asked here:

Did you enable/configure SSH in the Software Configuration Menu on the new install in the Pi?

We don't support 3rd party images, as explained in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Ask the author of the image or use the image distributed by the RetroPie project from retropie.org.uk/download.

@Wolf64 As I mentioned in my previous post, I am not familiar with lr-stella. I've never used it. That is why I asked in my post, "are all these mappable to a controller in lr-stella?"

I only use the standalone version.

For sure the keyboard works in the standalone version because I do it all the time.

I've never attempted to map these functions to a controller button in the standalone version. I've no reason to try this as I only use real Atari joysticks, paddles, driving controller, etc.

I don't have a different controller to test the standalone version for you, sorry.

Maybe the developers here that modded Stella for RetroPie can chime in and confirm for you.

Can you add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
Check the permissions on the Emulationstation's configuration folder - $HOME/.emulationstation - it might be a permissions problem. If you change any of the settings of Emulationstation, like the Scraper source, does it get saved between restarts ?

After going through all the PSX RetroArch settings I figured out my problem. To change the controller to Analog you used to go to Quick Menu>Controls and set User 1 Device Type to RetroPad w/Analog. After the update, you put that back as Retropad (without the analog) as default, go to Quick Menu>Options and change Pad 1 Type to Dualshock there. Maybe this will help someone with that problem in the future.

@grant2258 well, these are great news! Thank you for the heads up!

@nick_harrisom Remove the file, then update your GBA emulators from the RetroPie-Setup script and the file would be created again, correctly.
And please don't re-open old - and resolved - topics, open a new topic instead and add a reference to a previous topic you might think it's similar.

@retropieuser555 I notice in your picture that the User 1 Device Type is set to Sinclair 1 Joystick. I tested this setting and Hen-House Harry moves to the left if I press the B button and to the right if I press the X or Y button even though I have nothing mapped to those buttons. Could you try selecting the User 1 Device Type to the Cursor or Kempston joystick?

@fabthegamer LOVE the cabinet! Used to play the game competing against a friend (a great game for deliberately trying to kill the other player)

@squishykoishi said in Auto mount USB HDD doesn't mount, HDD does work:

As for /etc/fstab I'd probably ask something pathetically stupid about it, and would rather not waste time for people who need to answer more important questions/fix bugs or whatever :p

My local LUG had a motto - don't just ask to ask, ask directly. That's why the forum (including the Help & Support category) exists.

As with the old controller, there's no 1:1 mapping between the cables/wires and the actual buttons - you can't wire it directly to the GPIO and expect it to automatically work, you'll need a driver.
When you're talking about the 'new' NES controller, do you mean the one for the NES Classic Mini or the one for the Switch ?
The controller for the NES Classic Mini has the same port type as a Wii (U) Classic controller - see here and here for details.

@wmarcio thank you so much , read my last post.

@RetroDuck Re-read the forum rules - there's no download links to ROMs or other copyrighted material.

@greengrounds but yeah put the power supply into that hub. Then the power supply is giving power to the controller and the pi.

I remember a similar post - after the 4.4 image was released - mentioning that DInput behaves differently and switching to XInput made it work.

@Protocultor
Protocultor for President :D
Thank you very much, it works. Now the only thing left I need to know is, can you change the deadzone amount of the left analog stick somewhere? I know you can change it in the option for ingame movements but it doesen't apply for the menu navigation and when I move up and down it often register a left or right movement and messing up my settings.

UPDATE: Nevermind I found the settings in the config folder inside zdoom.ini

Running the update appears to have fixed the problem for me. Tested real quick with Super Bomberman 3 on SNES and Crash Team Racing on PSX and all four controllers are working. Powering off a controller while EmulationStation is running no longer causes it to crash or freeze.

I'll keep an eye on this and report back if anything changes.
