Second, if you want your 8bitdo controllers to work with reicast like they do in the other emulators, have you tried setting them up in Rgui while in Reicast?

I have essentially the same kit, but mine was from Canakit. It will do the job. Yes you can set it up from a Mac.

There are a ton of guides online and you would do well to familiarize yourself with the wiki content here. For real. Read it. Understand it.

+1 Super brother point to you for taking on a project for your kid brother.

@krull My tips are to create game specific overlays. It seems you want to have console specific overlays (one overlay for all games for that specific console).
In this case you don't need to create .zip.cfg files in the rom folders for each game but you just edit the global cfg for each emulator.
Check this page.

This is a very old topic, but I wanted to throw my script in so you can edit it to your liking. I don't have an Adafruit display, so I had to do some tinkering but you've all done the heavy lifting. Here are the minor edits for using a 3.5" display with fbi. Make sure you have the system.jpg images in the correct system rom folders.:

# /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh # get the full path filename of the ROM rom=$3 # rom_bn receives $rom excluding everything from the first char to the last slash '/' rom_bn="${rom##*/}" # rom_bn receives $rom_bn excluding everything from the last char to the first dot '.' rom_bn="${rom_bn%.*}" # get the system name system=$1 # set the image file to the first result matching the ROM name - accounts for various possible file extensions img="$(find "/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/${system}" -type f -name "${rom_bn}-image.*" | head -1)" # check to see if there was a file found (length of the file name not zero), if not, use an image based on system if [[ -z "${img}" ]]; then img="/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/$system/$system.jpg" fi # run the python script to display the image sudo fbi -T 2 -d /dev/fb1 -noverbose -a "$img"

@BuZz ill keep an eye on it and try the other SD cards I have and repost if there are any similar issues, cheers BuZz

FYI I believe the only other thing I did in RA at the same time I broke the controls was to enable "save changes on exit"

@pieguy which n64 emulator are you using? Right after you select a game where it says press a button to configure it says what emulator.

Hi! I have same problem.
For restart pcsx I use hotkey (Select + X) with psx controller.

So.. i gave up on crappy clones.

To begin with, i wanted clones because it was kinda difficult to find a pair of original PS3 pads locally, but a few days ago i managed to find some, and even at a very reasonable price.
I must admit that they rock severely!!! Connecting them was very easy, and they work like a charm :)

All set, playing games and enjoying life!

Bingo :) Thanks!!

Facepalm @ self for overloking that option... well, now all is good.

Perfect!

Now, yes

But installed, going to configure input, same thing...

Reboot, an try again, same result :(

Edit: Try in xbox360 mode, and desktop mode... same results

@rock0520 no. It's hardcoded currently.
