I have got them working now, not sure what I did. Reset the system a couple of times made sure to configure the controllers. But it is working now. The only issue now is N64 games seem to not like multi player and the buttons are off.

@tipoto iI was reading you post and i was wondering if you could help me on this, or let me know if its even possible, I have a pi3 with an ipac i/o wil the roms running off a HDD, and would like to run leds on a emulator bases and it looks like your script will work but i am not sure where you loaded then in to and i am not sure if your code will would with my ipac.

Now I formatted my Sd card again and wrote the retropie image. I started the system and inserted the USB stick. I waitet for an hour and now all games are there, including dreamcast. Somehow it only works the first time. I think that's strange.

What am I doing wrong?

Follow-up, should this still work if you is talked the PS3 Bluetooth drivers?

Thanks for the information Zpectre87 - yes definitely looking forward to the wireless portion, wired works, but for a nice clean setup for your bar/game area it would be nice to have wireless! looking forward to hopefully getting that functionality

Thanks for these information, you´re fully right and I didn´t provide the information as expected. I will double check all and If i found any problem I will ask correctly.

Thanks¡¡

I managed to get it to work!

Turns out that I had to change the retroarch.cfg files inside the individual emulator folder, since the global retroarch.cfg file changes did not seem to register for the Neogeo ROM :)

Thank you. That solved the problem.

Compare the files that were generated in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

you can force the mode in /boot/config.txt - http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video_mode_options

@klay824 Glad to know that you managed to fix it, albeit in this radical way. I gave up and jumped to Recalbox for the time being, I found it to be more user friendly to someone as useless as I am in Linux.

@HOW

The host in this case is the Pi and is the usb system's master, it controls and schedules all communications activities with peripherals (devices controlled by usb) as slaves responding to commands from the host. So if you power the Pi itself from the usb hub, it becomes a peripheral of itself, and even thinking about this is confusing so I can't imagine the Pi will like it much. But I haven't tried this myself, so who knows.

@meleu thanks for your support, it seems this works ! nice tool, should be added to retropie distro ;)

I am possibly considering this to be an issue with the Emulator. In the SNES and NES emulator the Left Button works properly. I am Load from saved state. Going to check out a different Emulator for the N64.

How did you map them - eg when Emulation Station asked for inputs what did you assign them to ?

On 3.8.1 they should be assigned to left bottom / right bottom. On 4.x this is renamed to be clearer and they are called left shoulder / right shoulder.

Well, I just found that downloading MAME adverts with EmuMovies is quite similar to downloading covers. That was basically what I wanted. To get the MAME covers.
For the Neo Geo Games, I think it can download using the Neo Geo console as a platform.
