@Water-White Check in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgIs overlay_directory pointing to the correct place?
Looking at this there seem to be 2 paths to the borders... /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/borders and /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/borders
I use the second path, note the change of spelling from overlayS to overlay. Change it and see what happens.

@mikeh1982 Transferring the ROMs via USB is done automatically so there is no need to look at the directories, you don't need to manually move anything. If you use samba share over the network then the 4 directories are automatically shared to allow you to edit, transfer, delete, manage etc... Just as a tip, you can add extra folders / directories to be shared over the network. If you go to /etc/samba and open smb.conf you can add entries, eg

[home] comment = home path = "/home/pi" writeable = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 force user = pi

Or add any other path you want to access...

Did you wire your joystick properly? What kind of joystick and USB encoder do you have?
If buttons can be configured but joystick is not responding than probably joystick is not compatible with usb encoder (if you bought whole kit with encoder and joystick it's probably not possible) then you haven't wire whole setup properly.
But give us some more details or post some photos.

Also you need to install the following for code to work:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip gcc
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo pip install evdev

Note it worked without installing the header i.e 2nd satement

Then you can call it on start up via a cron such as:
@reboot python /home/pi/scripts/keyreboot.py &

Remember to give the file execution permisions

I'm thinking something more official linked on the downloads page. One of the main reasons this would be beneficial is by saving server bandwidth by letting fellow users help seed the torrents as well.

@herb_fargus edited my reply, see where i made the mistake in my answer

@LS650 its nice to see more and more atariage users showing up on here. Im pimpaul69 on atariage.

@backstander yeah it has 3 less puzzles. I beat it on dos several times but i didnt play through as many times as i did the 11th hour. Excellent sequel imo.

@msilveira85 your welcome, we are all here to help each other and make this project even better than it all ready is

@BilboIII click here to find out how

i saw someone copy a .cue file and change the name. I have not be able to do the same and been having the same issue with my psx. I need to find a .cue file first to give it a shot.

I don't have any idea what this might be. I use an iBuffalo SNES-style controller, and think it's great. No problems at all configuring the controller or using it with any of my games...

@kage916 said in Adding a new controller!:

@meleu Or a tutorial for doing the fresh install and starting again.

This is the best decision!!! There are nice tutorials on youtube! I specially like those from @herb_fargus , @Floob and @ETAPRIME .

@BuZz Why does Kodi need to copy that file into that folder to make its own port anyway? I don't know why it says to do that under Kodi in the Wiki?

@natemac This is what I do, but you need to at least make the choice once. The easiest way to do it is to pick a default, say, lr-mame2003, then go through your ROMs and launch the ones you want to run using FBA and invoke the menu on those, choose FBA for "this ROM" and it will remember your choice.

For me, I have most games launching with 2003, vector games launching with AdvancedMAME1.4, and a handful (NeoGeo, fighters and a few others) launching FBA.

With everything setup the way you want, you can disable the runcommand menu from appearing and a typical user won't even know they are running different emulators.

I don't know a way to pre-select them. They get tracked in a file using some long ID, but by the time you figure out how to use that across each ROM, it would have been faster to just launch each one once.

@AlexMurphy that 2nd link is exactly what I was looking for. The first dosent exist for me for some reason. Thanks!!!

I use something similar to this to hook my pi to an old wood grain tv with a single coaxial input, but there are hundreds of different brands.

@chisharpe sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes! The funny thing is you were typing it correctly on the forum. We've all been there.

@backstander it works!!!! you're so cool man :)
thx a lot!!
