Actually, I think I did update it and that caused some of the issues again with it not working properly. It's working well enough as is so I'm a little leery of messing with it at this point. I don't have any games that require thumbstick or trigger input so I'm happy enough with the good D-pad.

Thanks for the resource, this will definitely be something I'm looking into for another possible project. You are absolutely right about the syncing of two being a problem. As weird as my use case is, I only need one Raspberry (from a kooky angle, the video is being distributed to one/both players). After looking into wedges I think that's the route I'm going to go as I easily have access to USB HID injectors at work/off ebay I can utilize that I didn't realize I could use. Thanks for the link though, I'll definitely be using it.

@urko948 Use the official Raspberry Pi power adapter or whatever the Raspberry guys recommend.

NIce one, that fixed it!

Thanks again @mitu - You're a life saver! :)

All,

thanks for replying and apologies for not including some relevant info :-)

So,

Pi 3B
Official Pi PSU
RetroPie Version 4.3.9
Built from Pre made SD image on site
Arcade cabinet with 2x joysticks plugged into generic encoders presented as DragonRise generic USB joystick (no issues with any other emulators/games)
Config: https://pastebin.com/pmUkTEVe
Issue is as stated, load cannonball with no issues, go to config controls cannot set any controls in there, can navigate menu system but left and right perform up and down (if that makes sense)

I have cannonball installed on a picade I made a while back with no issues at all.

any help appreciated

Thanks

Please give more details about your setup as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Whoever could solve the problem with sound on SNES emulator PI3B, PI3B+
The solutions described "https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sound-Issues/" do not work.
Very disappointed in Raspberry.
Sound sometimes slows down and collapses.

a few days later .... after reading a lot of unnecessary information
The problem was in throttling.

avoid_warnings=2 means don't show the warning squares and don't disable turbo mode on under-voltage condition. We still throttle on over-temperature.

@caricolt9900 use selph scraper and change the site to something other than thegamesdb.net

@lumberjack said in Launch of Amiga games stuck:

Power Supply used: yes

??

@mediamogul Not sure. I'll be sure to pull that particular one and try it. Thanks!

@dceric
Turn off your wifi and you will get Bt working fine with both controllers

@mitu I don't want to screw anything up that's why i ask really dumb questions man. Yeah that worked, appreciate the lesson Mitu. Thanks again for your time have a great day / weekend.

@mitu Thanks for the addition, I forgot to mention that.

@Addison As mitu said, my tip doesn't apply to HDMI, sorry.

I tried the hotkey + x and got it to work once, im starting to think the problem is my controller. im using a wired xbox 360 controller, wich in my pi i had no problems with. In the new pi when i configure it, it skips the left trigger.

Source install is not working ? I remember the same problem a few weeks back and it was an upstream problem due to their recent changes to the code. Use the binary install if you're on a Raspberry Pi.

@axrst ARCADE is not an emulator, its a folder where you place roms and then choose an emulator to run them using the run command. If you are electing to choose a non-libretro emulator such as mame4all or pifba, they will not be configured on startup.

@c0tt0ntail are you sure its not a lightning bolt or thermometer? What color is it?
