Good luck

yep :) i found that out too, sorry i didn't think to look for that. they still would not exit even after the move. here is my file for
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg , which is my 2 player joysticks/buttons . they both connect through a usb circuit board, plugged into the pi via usb.

i updated retropi via the menu system to the latest version. it added new items as well in emulation station i see, such as msdos.

Thanks everyone, I still had them as 7zip files

I found that I've written a response on the same subject about four months ago, so it's probably easiest if I just refer back to that entry here on the forum:

[edit]

You may wish to use jstest to aid obtaining and setting the calibration values. If it's not already present on the system:
sudo apt-get install joystick

For more information, please see:
http://mpolaczyk.pl/raspberry-pi-series-reverse-engineering-of-joystick-usb-communication-protocol/

jstest returns the full description of the device; this matches that displayed by emulators in RetroPie (in text at the bottom of the screen as an emulator loads; within the RetroArch Input menu; within Hatari's Joystick menu, etc)

for example:

jstest /dev/input/js0

Joystick (WiseGroup.,Ltd PS/SS/DC Joypad to USB BOX)

jstest /dev/input/js1

Joystick (HuiJia PS/SS/N64 Joypad to USB BOX)

@BuZz cheers, thanks for the quick reply.

Just to offer some insight, I've got a fresh installation of Raspbian Jessie with Pixel, and RetroPie 4.0.3 installed on a test Pi 3, and it's great. The new desktop is fine and reasonably swift, and RetroPie is fine.

I also performed a dist-upgrade on my main Pi 3, which was running Raspbian Jessie from the May 27th image, and had RetroPie 3.8 on it. This system had a lot of additional software, including a custom ffmpeg and retroarch build for RetroPie recording, along with monodevelop, VPN, kodi, and loads more, built over five months.

After the update the desktop suffered from random reloads of the main menu bar, but the worst effect was a noticeable lag when dragging windows around the screen. Moving Chromium around felt like the window was connected to the mouse by elastic (the rubber-banding effect in Daytona springs to mind!)

I'm currently restoring a backup. I think the only way forward, with a view to having a stable , reliable, system, is to manually rebuild the entire installation on the new Raspbian base, as I've no idea what's underlying the odd performance and stability issues. This seems to be a general rule with o/s upgrades on most platforms...

@r34per actually I lied to you sorta. I almost forgot that RetroPie isn't strictly for the raspberry pi. You can also install it on x86 (Ubuntu) which you can install on a virtual machine. There are just some slightly different packages due to the diff platforms.

@as692 there is an audio setting and it is set on something like exact. I changed it and it started working correctly. I can look later to find the exact setting for you.

@ferdnand if you set hdmi_drive=2 in the config.txt you wouldnt have to go into kodi.

Hello ferdnand,

First of all, thanks for you reply.
So I just followed the steps you recommended, but I stuck in the same point.
I've plugged the PS3 controller whilst the Pi2 was booting up, went thru the driver install process and in the step to remove the USB cable, after removing it, the control didn't vibrate. I pressed the PS button, the control vibrates and I have the "1" led on.
Going on the Configure Input, it says 1 control detected but when pressing the buttons on the control nothing happens.

My BT dongle is a "Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltda Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

in the terminal, when I check the sixad service it says
Active (running)
and in the last line I have the service started correctly. Seems for me that the retropie environment is not recognizing the service. Is that possible?

@mediamogul I am going to try and test these this weekend before adding them all the list but it is a very good list indeed.

please read https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first as instructed when signing up on the forum.

also check https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation

(You won't see the rom folders with the sdcard plugged into your PC if that is what you are doing - this is in the documentation)

@thord I did what you said and the problem persists. I'm on my original install of 4.0.2 on a Pi 3b. Should I try to update all installed packages? Why am I asking? That's what I'm going to try anyway. With this problem I've also noticed that my iclever bluetooth, mini keyboard will function during a dreamcast game, but only in the command prompt (which displays along with the game for glitchy reasons I presume). The game won't respond to the keyboard after idle. I might try plugging a usb ibuffalo snes pad. Wonder if it works to plug it in after the idle glitch. I also wonder if my iclever keyboard, bluetooth dongle is interfering with the on chip bluetooth.

I tried my official Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Receiver for Windows back in RetroPie 3.6 but couldn't ever get it to be recognized. I picked up a generic Xbox 360 Receiver (from either AliExpress or Light In The Box for around $9) and I've already got many Xbox 360 controllers and those work very well with RetroPie.

@TechieAndroid What was causing the games not to run? I'm having the same issue? Thanks.
