@KevTastic84 can you paste in pastebin.com your /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg?

Well, I tried that but I am not sure that it is a good idea. I "hacked" it so that only positive values are passed into the kernel API. This is what happened:

jstest /dev/input/js0 shows a range of 268 to 32768 (instead of -32k to +32k.) evtest /dev/input/event10 shows ranges from 128 to 255 (instead of 0 to 255)

So I don't get 0 still. Might be a problem.

ES can be correctly configured on device configuration with the analog triggers.
But still for example Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast can't be correctly played with analog triggers. In fact, patching the value range didn't have an effect at all. When you accelerate using right trigger you only reach like 15 km/h :)

I assume something like this: all the analog axis are signed 16 bit values ranging from -32k to +32k. The analog trigger is just 8 bit from 0 to 255. So I think that libretro also expects the 16 bit input range. But when the controller only delivers 8 bit you won't be able to trigger the full value range (only get values of a maximum of 255 instead of 32k).
I think they tried a fix here already:

I believe I have resolved this issue for people updating - but those already with a broken fba/emulators.cfg - can delete the config, and re-install the emulators again which will restore it (same for the arcade/emulators.cfg if that is being used)

@herb_fargus Perfect. Thanks!

np. Configuring controllers is explained here - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation - configuring additional controllers is under the "start" menu in ES (as you have found). Once configured in ES other emulators are set up automatically etc.

Please install following the instructions here - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation

@Locke141 I've just read the NES wiki and I can't see where it says that nestopia is the default.

I see "lr-nestopia is preferred due to better accuracy and the ability to play Famicom Disk System games, plus better input latency. lr-fceumm is slightly faster, which may give a benefit to Raspberry Pi 1/0 users"

Actually I didn't do anything really except on my PC went to look at the network, retropie showed up and without extra software for IP addresses etc, it's let me copy/paste to the rom folders and delete stuff I don't want.

We expecting a bunch of setup but, nope, showed on my network and allowed full access.

@Mr-Meeseeks
Got my adapters today
Same problem only left on the d pad doesn't work along with the b button

Then my best guess is that it just isn't compatible.

You could try it on an Ubuntu Live CD on your PC to see if it's a problem with Linux in general or the Raspberry Pi/Kernel. (You can use jstest-gtk to test it).

@BuZz Beautiful. I've only had this up and running for a few hours so I'm still finding my way around. Thanks very much!

@BuZz

Updated my script, re-enabled art and all is good now. Thanks a lot for your help as always, both @BuZz and @dankcushions.

I feared people were going to assume it was a configuration issue my side, so i'm glad you guys checked it out.

Cheers

Thanks for the info.

So the PI2 might not be fast enough for such games on DOSBox. Too bad.

Thanks for the reply , I'm thinking it could be fake sd cards. They was showing 64gb before I started ... I've remembered the first card I did was from a different shop and i had a full set of all roms , they all worked and even scraped them all , I've just found a 128gb generic sd card I'll see how I get on with this ,

I've also tried this in a raspberry pi 2 and 3 so surely it must be the sd cards

Yeah, I'll probably go with the complete reinstall. I think I power the Pi correctly. (powering up by connecting the Pi to the Power Supply and shutting it down directly from the Emulation Station) Thanks for the help anyway! At least it gave me the clue for what might have happened.

EDIT: Yes, the reinstall did its job. I connected to the internet with no problems! I wonder what was the cause... Thanks a lot!

@obsidianspider

About 80mm width, 100mm height. Depth I'm still 100% as I'm waiting for a PCB board to fit before I can decide definate. Anything more than 15mm is probably too much. But Height is negotiable is width and height are reduced, mainly because of the battery compartment area being empty after cutting away to make certain areas more accessible
