Hey thanks really winscp on the cdi did the trick guess I'll use that to transfer roms

Also my f4 works fine turns out this wifi keyboard the Logitech k400 plus defaults the f keys to shortcuts and not function keys unless you toggle them with function
Which is hella stupid lol

Everything seems great thanks!

@BuZz Sorry, I'm new to this and get confused between the RetroPie Forums and LibRetro Forums which link me to GitHub too. I wanted to update my previous post's title, but didn't know how, to see if runcommand.log error would spark others who know more about it.

Update: I figured out how to change the title of my last post and am trying to delete this post but can't.

@Andrewpk200 said in Using multiple Controllers:

Also can the controls be set up to over ride on more game specific basis

Pretty simple for RetroArch: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping

This seems the most similar to my issue I've found. What is that editor you are using for the .cfg file? Also, this wouldn't happen to be with DragonRise controllers would it?

@perhansa post your /boot/config.txt (put it in a codeblock)

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (as agreed when registering)

UPDATE: Kodi does the same thing at first, but after about a minute or so, it just starts working for no reason

no worries i figured the dongles might be 'fighting' for priority as i beleave the dongles set the controller position before then sending it to the system itself therfore 2 dongles would mean 2 controllers trying to control P1 probly a more descriptive reason for this somewhere but i guess thats what is basicly happening there glad your sorted

I'm reading it, apparently I just wasn't following what you were saying.
Also now understand the code blocks command now, sorry about that.

That launch script worked the game is opening in ES now.
Thank you for walking me through that.

Yeah, I realize that now.

@Capeman i believe @fieldofcows and others are trying to find another video player to use instead of the OMX player. I do not believe that OMX will ever support overlays. In the mean time, i suggest reducing your video file sizes, use heat sinks and a fan on your pi, and set your screen saver to 1 or 2 minutes to go to a black screen. This should eliminate the heat issues while still allowing you to use the VLC player.

Hi, I was looking for the "Buffer rendering" option for test it with some "black screen" games, where can I find that option? (was looking but didnt found it!) :S

Apologies, I meant mame2003. Thanks for the info, after reading your post I had another idea, and I've found the best way to fix the sound:

In the tab menu, switch on test mode (the place where you set free play, adjust difficulty etc for the game). In that menu there is a volume control option for the game itself. It's down at the minimum volume by default, crank it up and the sound is fine.

Other Midway arcade games such as Mortal Kombat have the same issue and I see they all use the same sound chip. I haven't checked but I expect the same method will work.

@Lukszgz They are looking pretty cool! Though I was excepting they are showing the original controller as well as your actual controller with some sort of remapping arrows. Something like this (just a quick paint job as concept):

I think I will put this on my neverending to-do list. It's great for friends coming over who are not familiar with the button mapping. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Hi thx to trying to help me.

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade not working.

I am using fresh copy of retropie 4.2.I just enabled ssh and then installed agent from https://mydevices.com/ to remote control
rpi. When I do that I get those dependencies problem and apt-get not working anymore.

Thank you. Trying to find that as soon as I do, I will get it. Sorry. After a bunch of tries its hard to be optimistic....

@ExarKunIv thank you!
