In order for the gamepad to be detected and configured by Emulationstation - and the other emulators - it must be detected as a gamepad by the OS. If the OS (Raspbian) doesn't see it as a gamepad, it means it's not compatible with Linux, so there's nothing to configure. I advise you to try another controller - if you bought this one specifically for RetroPie, then you should return it and get a better supported controller.

Sorry to be so awfully slow, but I have had my arcade put aside for quite some time, but @meleu I now reformatted my ROMS USB to NTFS format and now your script works!

Well done and thanks!

Merry christmas to you all!

@baileys13now Then please edit your opening post and put a [Solved] before the title of the topic (so that the title reads "[Solved] Need help With usb roms") to mark it as … well, solved. It saves potential helpers time by showing them that here's nothing to help anymore.

@mitu ah, thank you! I had did searching myself but hadn't seen that thread. I'll check it out!

What music do you mean?

I'm glad that my request helped you fix the gun before the holidays. :)

I just realised how strange that may sound out of context. :D

There is a step by step in that thread to fix the date and time issue. It worked for me. I'm not sure if it still works with the latest version of retro pie however so use at your own risk. I'd recommend backing up your image first.

Regarding your question about the coin door. could be a bad microswitch. do you have access to a multimeter? you could check the resistance from open to close. Any pics on how you have the coin door wired? Are you sure that you wired correctly to the button. Needs to be wired to the open close. On your buttons it should be the posts that are offset from one another and are on risers

it works!
I just want to say this works now. I can finally record how I play on this thing, which just refused to work before. I installed the newest firmware and tried it again. But since April (we have December now) a lot of things changed since then. If the above posting is a bit confusing, here is a brief explanation. I just have to switch a single HDMI output to be able to record.

The PVR Rocket is a portable device to record from any HDMI source up to 1080p30 or 720p60 to a usb drive. I usually use my RetroPie system with my old crt pc monitor at 640x480p. It is connected with a HDMI to VGA converter and all boot and emulator settings are optimized for that. The recordings are saved at 640x480p at 60 fps.

Recording: The HDMI output from Raspberry Pi is connected to the input at PVR Rocket. Then the PVR Rocket have also an 0 delay pass through HDMI output, which is connected to my final monitor. A single button press starts the recording and a second press stops it whenever I want. Playing without recording: The HDMI output from Raspberry Pi is connected to a VGA splitter. That VGA output is connected to my final crt pc monitor. To get sound, the VGA splitter will output 3,5mm audio jack.

Thanks Mitu for link, seems they have MOVED custom setting number from 22 to 23.
Well know one of the tasks I will need to do over Christmas holidays, cfg file updates :/

@oreiarias said in Bluetooth PSX Controller for Pi3B+:

Would you recommend any alternatives?

I think I just did.

@mbrett Do you have a screenshot to show the problem ? Have you tried toggling 'Integer scaling' on/off to see if it makes a difference ?

@sunwind Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
How did you scrape your videos - which program you used ? Can you give an example of a game with a corrupted video ? Are you using the hardware accelerated video player in Emulationstation ?

@Clyde Yes agreed, didn't plan on doing that. :)

@dayvolk Just to confirm you are using the correct retropie image for the pi3?

did you manage to fix? I am having the same issue and it's driving me insane. Not sure how much more time I can dedicate to it

So i followed the instruction to remove BT completly in the link above, moved mu stuff to another room and suddely both controllers connect and are recognised in ES :)
