@Haemogoblin said in RetroPie is v4.1 RPI2b advice:

I'm just looking in to how to direct Retropie to use one single rom directory for both emulators.

The /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/ directory was made for this use case. And then you have to define what arcade emulator to use when launching a game in runcommand menu (you just need to set this once).

edit: this post seems to have some useful info for you: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5674/solved-rom-version-numbers-to-match-emulators

@Cooleoe6 in /boot/config.txt

#uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0

Can anyone direct me to on how to get to the file to input 2 joysticks.

it is working at the moment but it does seem to keep changing every few days.

@JordiMayor I'd recommend starting a new thread on the forum listing details on your setup in not rather than hijacking a solved thread from October.

@herb_fargus

true but if you choose a resolution from the drop down that matches the aspect ratio of your TV (eg. 1920x1080) no black bars :D

@barbudreadmon thank you

Yeah i could, but why arent the nvidia GFE games lists showing like with android limelight/ moonlight?

@trixta Cheers for that, I never thought that was the problem, I'll try it.

@helm71 said in Just finished my build.. some issues with roms:

@mediamogul My joysticks indeed present themselves as keyboard keys... I was under the impression that if I change the analogue sticks to work as dpad, that I will then have an issue with the games.. I might have got that wrong, I'll try it out !!

Thanks for the help ! It now works. I have also figured out what went wrong.

I need to setup my physical buttons with the DPAD controls and then SKIP the controls for the analogue left, then set the analogue sticks to copy the dpad controls..

Amazing piece of software this retropie.. It reallt works great now..

@chanh55 yes. Remove the eed=1 part

@BuZz said in Not finding ROMs in certain SubDirectories:

subfolders are not supported when using gamelists afaik.

Do gamelists house the database-esque lists for every emulators ROMs? (I really know nothing about them to be truthful...just assumed if games weren't showing up I could try and delete the gamelist so it can be rebuilt)

All I know is I have ROM's for NES, SNES, Genesis, and now N64, complete with subfolders. Don't know if deleting the gamelists, or rebuilding all those packages fixed it but it's working so I'm happy.

@erhan1054 frivolous pursuits. Will be unplayable.

You need to exit gpsp from the menu with "Exit gpSP" after configuring controls, not by pressing exit etc.

This is of course documented in the wiki. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/game-boy-advance#gpsp

@ckylesworld I got the Buffalo controller too; slightly "soft" dpad but generally happy about how it works with Retropie 4.1.
