Thanks I'm not sure if it is the controller though, I was testing everything on a pi 1 model B and it worked fine every time I rebooted. Granted I wasn't using the powered hub at the time.

I'll try eliminating the hub and report back. If it is just the controller that's fine once the same thing doesn't happen with the arcade encoder :D

When attempting to launch lr-picodrive from inside emulation station that is launched from SteamOS.

So I am going to say installing the SteamOS driver is probably a bad idea seems to have broken standard functionality. Specifically after disabling and removing the driver.
Having to rekick now to get it back to normal.

@mediamogul

That's a good idea in theory, but you're already running into major issues that could very well be isolated to the VM environment and never even be seen when using an actual Pi.

I think your right. Hopefully I will get a RPi3 Model B for Xmas.

Thanks.

I do it that way for my media server, which also runs Win7 and the files are gone, but having never used a RaspPi before I just wanted to double check. :D

If i stay with my original .cfg i can boot on date/hours and move left/right down/up but i cannot confirme with sélect. And just if i change mapping on my .cfg, when i launch it s black screen ans reboot main menu of reicast.why reboot if i modified the .cfg?

So I had some time to think about this while at work, and I think it might be easier to just use that NES to USB circuit (link). By using that circuit, I can combine both NES ports into a single USB plug. I saw some walkthrough examples where somebody had used that exact circuit in an NES, and the ports line up perfectly. I was also looking last night, and found a DB9 to USB adapter that might work well for Sega and Atari controllers. I've only heard of the Raphnet NES adapters from other builds, and don't know how well the Mayflash Adapter will work, and if it will work with ATARI as well.. I'd really like somebody to help me figure out if this is a good option, because I'd really like to have the option to install a way to use original controllers where possible.

Since I'm on the topic of controllers.. I have another major question. Does the system handle correctly the mappings for multiple controllers and types? So far, while waiting for all my hardware, I've been testing with just a Wireless Xbox 360 controller. I also have a Saitek P2500 controller that I was originally using before I got the Wireless Xbox 360 dongle. So does RetroPie/RetroArch still work if I have say.. 2 Xbox controllers? What if I have an Xbox Controller and the P2500? What if I don't have those, and just have 2 NES controllers? What if I'm really crazy and I'm using an NES controller and a Sega Master System controller (they're the same design more or less). Does the system handle multiple controllers, mix and match controllers, or even just 1 different controller per system? Since I'm still in the build phase, I don't have this issue NOW, but I'd like to know if this has come up and if there is a way through it.

Thanks guys! Also, I got my NES console in the mail today.. so I'm getting closer to build time!

@Lyle_JP

The ISO format doesn't make use of a cue sheet. Because of that and a few other format differences, they're really only useful for imaging unprotected, single track CDs and DVDs. You can convert between the two formats, but you'll always get data loss with anything more complicated than a single track disc.

not accessible via internet, but I am a network security specialist, who loves Linux, all my desktops, and laptops have been patched, I was just trying to ensure complete coverage in my house.

thanks,

Note - please see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and format your posts with markdown (logs / configs in code blocks please).

you should also provide details of things like retropie version / and platform when posting.

I would prefer if you posted the exact output of ls rather than typing it in manually in a different format.

Note you can't embed pastebin data here - just post a link.

You should remove the sudo lines form rc.local - /var/log/syslog might contain details of why it isn't working.

@spannernick1 This blog post may help since you basically want to detect a GPIO button press and then send a keypress (Select+B) to reset the game.

@cbarr Manufacturer: SZMY-POWER CO.,LTD

SZMY-Power is a Chinese manufacturer. Looks like the controller is not official Sony brand. What you would want for this brand is the "Gasia only" driver, which it sounds like you've been using.

@dankcushions I was able to get Galaga to work by disabling the video driver. Apparently it was using a proprietory driver. That said I cannot get the sound to work. I will do a separate post on that issue.

@BuZz Thanks for formatting my post. I was able to get Galaga to work on Linux Mint by disabling the proprietory video driver. However I do not have any sound. I will do a seperate post for the sound issue.

Thanks for the tip. I just installed it and now it's "autosave completed!". Although the game won't load anyway for some reason :/

@herb_fargus thank you very much, i edited the first es_systems.cfg but didn't edit the one in /home/pi/.emulationstation

I also got this problem problem
