@TheSwedenGuy When you configure input in emulationstation, it automatically create the retroarch-joypads/YOUR_JOYPAD_NAME.cfg file. Try to configure your joypad input in emulationstation again and look if the "retroarch-joypads" file will be created.

@cemcyp the OP didn't provide enough info about the system. I suggest you to start your own thread after reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@soonerdoc If you install ES from source it will be fixed (or wait 30 mins and re-install from binary).

No insult/injury taken in the least - just appreciation! I know where the settings are, just have no clue why like 74MHz would be better than the stock 148MHz it's running. Or why some 16:9 ratio ones give me letterboxed 4:3, and some 4:3's give me 16:9 stretched widescreen. Basically just don't like messing with things I don't know 100% what they're about (unless it's a bunch of listed steps which have been used and raved about by like 100's of people and thought of as the 'way to do it'...if that makes sense...and if that was the case then it would most likely already be baked into the system in stock form ;) Admittedly Swapchain, frame delay - this I'm totally clueless about ;) I just want to play games!!

Anyway, I'm back in this topic tonight because I found a random SD card and popped it in. It has RetroPie 4.1.5 on it from ~2 weeks ago? It was definitely built EXACTLY like all the others I've been testing (I have a checklist I go through every time).

What's weird is NES Super Mario Bros and Adventure Island plays perfect. SNES Alien 3, DK Country, Earthworm Jim 2 play like 98% (those are my test games I always run). Now I didn't turn on the framerate counter, but I can tell these are worlds better than the 4.1.11 systems I've been messing with the past few days which are sluggish, skipping, normal then slow then normal then slow type of gameplay all the way around.

Is there a changelog for these small incremental changes? I'm totally convinced something happened from .5 to .11 that is causing problems.

Not a problem. Glad it's working.

You are probably not connected to the internet.

@Kristopherson05 you will need to redownload.

I'm sure I loaded the right version of RetroPie. The SD card is a class 10 PNY. I guess I reformat the card and try it again. If that doesn't work I'll get one of the SD cards listed at http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

Thanks.

Thanks Buzz, you made me question the validity of my roms, I've managed to get this working now, thanks for your assistance.

I tried connecting the wireless adapter to the computer first with no luck on windows 10 and 7. I am returning the adapter and going with an xbox 360 wired controlled instead....

@Doubleajaybrock have you tried scrolling past all the ._ files to see the real files? If you are at the top of the gamelist press up and it will take you to the z's you should see the real files there

@Darksavior said in USB Arcade Stick + USB Gamepad:

Not exactly what you were asking, but you can assign a game pad to a player # to a specific emulator or globally in configuration editor . The screenshots arent updated but they're there. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

Also, if you're using a libretro emulator, can't you change controllers in the retroarch in-game menu?

This sounds great. So I can assign the game pads (currently Player 3 & 4) to Player 1 & 2 in a specific emulator, say the lr-SNES core. I'll look into this as this would be perfect. Thanks.

@BuZz Sorry, duly noted :)

@JPGraphX just go into raspi-config and change the wait for network on boot setting.

@Paddy1978 Yes, start with a fresh image and folk here will be able to advise accordingly. Here are some wiki pages to get you started:

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/MAME

@rbaker You beat me to it.

@Yefet There was post yesterday detailing how to achieve this. Did you use the search facility before you posted as advised in the Read this First sticky?

@backstander said in Issues with The Dukes of Hazzard - Racing for Home (PS1):

@milenko
I just tried 2 different versions of Dukes of Hazzard for USA with both lr-pcsx-rearmed and pcsx-rearmed and neither of them would load. Got the black screen.

Must not be compatible with the current version of pcsx on the Raspberry Pi :(

Bummer. Thanks for trying. I'll keep trying with each update release. This project has me wanting to play it so much that I'll probably get out the Playstation and the game this weekend to play it old school style.
