@BuZz in the case of this one when the site updated my phone didnt. I had to clear my history to fix it. On this one i forgot to test on google. I realized this just a little bit ago when i tried to use my phone.

So i figured it out by having retroarch save on exit it was messing up the emulater .cfg by tirning that off and adding
input_player1_joypad_index = "2"
input_player2_joypad_index = "3
To the emu cfg i got it running fine just put it above the include line still have to test on other emus but working fine on psx cheers for everyones help

@caver01 said in Mame 2 player turn based games, Controller issue:

The emulators are merely emulating the original design. In most cases, they aren't replacing or upgrading original functionality of arcade games.

Yeah I always looked at MAME as emulation and not simulation. I am sure someone has built a catver file that would fit the bill if a guy really wanted.

@Shakz

Thanks anyway. I fresh installed retropie onto another sd card and copied the reicast folder from it. Is there any way to copy it to my other install (the one with the issue) by simply replacing the folder with the fresh one? Tells me I dont have permission when I try to do it SFTP

Thank you. I feel stupid now. I see it is on the left hand menu.

Thanks again,

I'm not sure why it drops out to emulationstation, but I do know that you need to open the system manager and delete all the corrupt saves in the vmu, for some reason the first time you start the emulator all the slots in the vmu are taken up with corrupt saves.

You should try what @edmaul69 suggested: use the http://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

Why?
Because it uses SDL2 to get the joystck list. Maybe Linux thinks that a Bluetooth keyboard is a joystick, but SDL2 knows what exactly is a joystick.

You guys don't need to understand these details, if you don't care about it. Just try the joystick-selection and see if you are happy with it! ;-)

I am really the only person who uses it currently - but it is for maintainers - it is for building binary archives (the ones users install update from). A module is a single component - a section is a group of components.

@UDb23 Thanks, I will try one of those

@xpz , thank you for sharing your preference, I also use CRT-pi. That shader pack is insane. I am sure one day there will be an RPi that can do even more amazing things. RPi 3 isn't even a year old yet.

Cool. Yeah I got into that link too while waiting for a reply.

So: Parse Gamelists Only: If on, it will only read the roms you have scraped, so if you add any new roms it will not look for them unless you turn this back off. it is off by default.

Damn, I must have touched it without noticing it. Thanks again.

Maybe its the systemd. This is what I have currently:

"noauto,x-systemd.automount" in fstab options

i don't want the moon..only play by joystick ... is there a roking workaround ?
thks

upgrade retropie-setup and remove the emulators you don't want from the gui.
