@mrgibby yeah i think dispmanx was fixed to respect the swapchain setting, and now the following applies:

Note on video_max_swapchain_images setting
When using the OpenGL ("gl") video driver, this setting switches between using two or three buffers for rendering. Without going into details, a setting of 3 allows the emulator to run ahead and prepare the next frame before the current one has even been shown. This improves performance (i.e. makes framerate hiccups less likely), especially on slow hardware, but increases input lag by one whole frame in the general case.
So, the general rule is to use a setting of 2 if the system can handle it. It will shave off one frame of input lag compared to the default setting of 3. Please also note that a setting of 2 forces vsync on.

i guess in this case the system couldn't handle it :(

@ayskura

The Pi 1/0 utilize armv6 processors and the 2/3 use armv7. The images are optimized to accommodate the difference.

@darthlink

Can you run N64 games properly on mupen64plus ?

i'm not sure any n64 game runs 100% full speed with no glitches, but i regularly use mario 64 in my testing and apart from a few specific areas it seems full speed.

nice, thank you very much for the info ;)

it's normal :)

@Sheldon25 said in PS4 controller, right analogue stick wont work at all:

@darthlink If you adjust the mappings in emulation station differently than how the controller is supposed to be set up, the emulator will not read the controls correctly and it will make it more difficult to figure out why the controller is not working correctly.
Another poster asked, and is still awaiting an answer. What emulator are you using to play quake 2 and soul reaver?
Do you have a ps3 or xbox controller to test and make sure that it is not related to your settings being messed up?

My ps4 controller was mapped via the emulation station input set up and both analog sticks work on n64 games, kodi, moonlight.

I am using the PS4 controller only and i am usung the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator for PlayStation 1 games.

I had also setup my controller via the emulationstation setup menu. I have not reverted it like i know i can. So far it is still as its suppose to be, Analog with analog and D-pad with D-pad. I was just mentioning it because i know it works this way if i setup the left or right analog stick instead of D-pad but it only transfer the problem to witch ever analog i may setup as the d-pad.

@SpudsMcToole Thanks for sharing and closing this one off!

@mediamogul lol. :D

@tlanks

Things are rarely this simple, but are you sure that you made the script executable?

chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/game.sh

Also, seeing as how you're simply launching DOSBox with your script, does the included /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/+Start\ DOSBox.sh not suffice?

@COOL_IRON either ffmpeg didn't compile or you didn't compile RetroArch with ffmpeg

@radiofreero said in N64 Rareware Games:

I wound up noticing that Retropie fails to give you plugins that have not been around for longer than 7 years

not true. for example, GLideN64 was first released in 2015. it's still in development now (and is actually by the same developer of glide64mk2, so could be considered glide64mk3 i suppose)

Hey I am having the EXACT same issue. So did you Filezilla in and remove the extra "input_player_1" entries? Ive been messing with this since Saturday. I also had this issue with an afterglow xbox 360 controller.

Pi: 3 B
RetroPi: Latest 4.0 build
Controller: NES30 Pro
Firmware: 4.0

so same specs as yourself.

@mikikiki

Is there a way to map a controller as JS0? I've seen a package useful to decide the order of the controllers, but in Retroarch...

There are ways to force an assignment of js0, but unfortunately Daphne actually reads the joystick event order when grabbing control and the event order cannot be changed.

is there a way to use different joystick numbers with Daphne?

Currently there is not. It's an often requested feature, but development on Daphne seems to have slowed down over the years and the project leader has only ever shown a passing interest in the issue to begin with.

Probably using x-arcade as a keyboard (without xarcade2jstick) I could map the keys in daphne

If using Daphne is important to you, this is likely to be your best option. I know it'll be a pain to reassign all the controls, but some control setups don't even have this ability as an option, so you're still coming out ahead in the long run.

Can you upload it or link me to a different location? Mega doesn't seem to be working for me in any browser :/

Please ignore, I think it may have been my fault. I think the images I was trying to upload were too big, it seems to be working now with images with a smaller filesize.

I don't expect it to have any impact.

to chekck I made myself a Recalbox (latest version) ...with
disable_overscan = 1
hdmi_group=2
HDMI_mode =16 (later I used 42)
HDMI_force_hotplug = 1

...and it works with my Samsung 230b... now I have to find out what is different in newest retropie version.

Hey Simonster,

i know regarding third-party images. But any suggsetion or tipp would maybe help.

I will reconfigure the xbox controller

Thanks for help

Edit:

I´ve found the error.
Last night i installed over the retropie setup the xboxdrv - for whatever reason :-)

Now i uninstalled the driver and it works again with the xbox controller like before.

Thanks for the help
