How do I install a joystick selection?

https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/

It's not part of RetroPie-Setup (yet?).

We discuss about joystick-selection tool in this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1167/here-is-a-way-to-select-joystick-for-players-1-4-global-or-emu-specific

Thank you so much!!

@bshogeman said in Hotkeys such as select+start don't work any more.:

I must not touch the menu item retropie -> retroarch. Don't update anything within that app.

To be more precise about the danger of this "app": Do NOT enable "Save Configuration on Exit".

Can anyone tell me what files to delete, replace, recover to fix this problem without reinstalling everything again?

Look for the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist files and replace the retroarch.cfg files with those.

Example:

mv /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg mv /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg mv /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg # repeat it for other systems

@BuZz yea i dont know any thing about linux except people that are smart with computers prefer it . Im trying to get in contact with then i cant get a response from loveRPI.I bought the whole starter kit with the control s heat sink and everything

@dankcushions

"(i believe i encountered it when a transfer via OSX/samba failed)"

I did use my Macbook to Transfer the Data, I should check at home what changes if I use my PC to transfer the data!

@madmodder123 Thank you! I will try this when I get home. Would something like Knoppix work as well? I think I'm going to try SSH first so I don't have to take the usb out of the Pi

Yeah pretty much any linux distro will work

Ok, after some investigation, here are some afterthoughts. If I go in and remap the controller in Emulation Station, and switch my Start and Select buttons, it seems to be fine (other then not being mapped to the button I want them to be on the cabinet). With this set up, if I go into, say the NES emulator, the Start and Select work fine in the game and pressing both together allows me to exit the emulator. Now if I switch them back, Start works fine, Select immediately exits the emulator. If I map them to 2 other random buttons in my 6 button layout, everything works fine in the emulator, but pushing them together will not exit the emulator.

One thing that I did notice, is looking at the layout instructions that came with the Xin-Mo, it shows for player 1 that the Start button should be #9, and the Select should be #10. When I map the controller in ES, the Start button shows up as 9, but the Select shows up as 8. So, it's possible I have the Select button wired to the wrong input on the Xin-Mo board. This maybe a stupid question, but would it make that much of a difference? I mean, I'm telling it to map a control to a certain button.

I'm going to pull the control apart tonight and double check my wiring.

@peterman only works with certain open gl plugins. i think it's working in lr-beetle, but that's unplayably slow on a pi.

That worked. Cheers.

Have you taken apart the hub to look at the workmanship? Where was the power cord soldered to? Is the Pi being powered from the hub internally?! It could be a lot of things. Take it apart and post up some photos and we can try to help diagnose.

@mediamogul yeah I just did, and still the same. I even tried copying the love files over from another install and still the same. I will have to test love on that Pi later to see if it's the same, but last time I tried it wasn't.

You might also want to look into getting a usb encoder like this one:

Just wire up your buttons to the board and plug it into one of the usb ports. comes with all the wires even. for $12 it will save you a whole mess of headaches.

@Emmuss
From the command prompt

List all USB devices
lsusb

cat /proc/asound/modules

Set "card #1" as the default audio device
sudo nano /etc/asound.conf

pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }

Disable HDMI audio
sudo nano /boot/config.txt

#hdmi_drive = 2

RetroArch audio fix
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

audio_device = "<name of USB audio device>"

Test audio
aplay -l

Please post the contents of your emu.cfg file. You can post it at pastebin.com and put the link to it in your reply.

Sorry, this was not working....

I finally decided to address this on my Genesis Pi and tweaking the es_systems.cfg file also fixed it for me. Thanks again to everyone for your support.

@MrMasterGenius It's always easy once you know how!
