@poja9 said in So many options to choose for installation, what is ideal for a linux newbie?:

So there are no images for a non Raspbian based installation

Nope. Not any official ones anyways.

The person in this reddit post had a similar problem so his solution might help you too:

Has the testing finished so it can be available to update on RP? :)

@xvo

You'll need to enable ssh in any version past 4.2 to use sftp. Good to have you back!

Thanks

I have found out why my SD-card is full. The /var/log folder is taking 21.7 GB of my SD-card...

@mrbeanhq you can put whatever you want on there. retropie will only pick up files it understands. eg, if you've followed https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive it will only care about the retropie-mount folder.

Ok, I found a solution for my arcade controller: Uae4arm read the button "0" (read by emulationstation) as fire. So I fisically changed the wires in my encoder usb and I put the button that I wanted in the position recognized as "0".

@phoenixjedi That's correct, there is no x86 version for DraStic. Since it's not an open source project, there is only a binary available, provided by the author for the Raspberry PI ARM architecture.

@jonnykesh sup, so I deleted the images folder from my n64 folder and deleted my complete nes rom and images folder. I don't know what I did but the link-hack image that replaced some games is completely gone. Hope this might help in the trouble shooting.

@robmcc83 Sixaxis = no vibration. DS3 = vibration.

Fixed my problem. Figured I'd post the resolution in the event that somebody else inevitably has the same issue. gunnarh's posted solution was right. It's not an issue of the multiple joysticks. It's actually the sketch. You need to use the bounce library, like was used in gunnarh's link. Without it, the buttons don't get recognized properly within retropie. I went as far as to edit the usb_desc.h for the teensyduino libary to only have it expose the joystick, and nothing more. That worked for only having a single joystick show up, but the button issue remained. It wasn't until I utilized the Bounce library, that my button presses behaved as I expected.

It will not mount the drive from my router.
I've had so many problems with this home hub with file sharing. I had the home hub 5 before which was easy as that used samba shares when connecting usb drives but this one does not.
I forgot before that when I first setup this drive on this new router I had to map the drive first using run on my computer and entering \192.168.1.254\ then I could select the folder I want to map for share.
It's strange sometimes it shows in network sometimes it don't. I Google it upon getting this new hub and there was others with same problem.
So think and for less stress for me lol I'm going to just migrate everything to samba shares on my other pi,
Is this still possible to share roms through samba.
Thanks

@chuskie Are you using RetroPie ? Please give more information about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Never mind. Found out it's the recent update to RetroArch causing the issue. Re-installing the image without updating fixes the issue.

It's ok.
All I was looking for was a graphic image to use for my build.. I found someone who is making one for me though. Thanks guys

@farrisgoldstein I find when that happens it's because the image is too big. Make it a bit smaller and it's all fine.

Thank you everyone, now it's "working" but I'm not sure why. I've started again from scratch with a fresh installation, and it's working fine out of the box, as @ChuckyP said. At least is working with the padtest iso, when I push on R3 it starts running the weak motor, and with L3 the strong one. I suppose that I messed up something while trying to install/uninstall packages and stuff.

However it's not working with Final Fantasy VIII. Vibration is enabled ingame, I've tried with several bios and two different copies from the game, without success. Anyway, if it's working with the padtest then it works, and based on other comments I suppose that this feature doesn't work for all the games, but I need to test it more.

Thanks again everyone for your help!
