tried to play super mario world and nothing showed up on the website

Keep in mind that you must use the same ROM version as the achievements creator used.

I saw a Cole48 there and it seems that you earned some achievements for Super Mario Bros and Tetris... So I'm considering it's working fine for you now, right? :-)

@marcosnils said in Joypad hotplug not working:

I believe it has nothing to do with the pad itself because it works perfect if I start retropie after the joypad has been plugged.

Do you have another joypad to check if this issue happens? I have USB and Bluetooth controllers and this kind of issue never happened (hotplug always works fine). I'm using RetroPie in my Raspberry Pi and in my Linux Mint (ubuntu based distro). I still suspecting of the XBox joypad driver and suggesting a reading on the wiki.

In your retroarch.cfg add:

video_smooth = true

That did the job for me, I didn't like the blocks at all. This will smooth it out and it will look pretty nice. Just try it out. BTW I'm playing on a 40 inch tv (Sony KDL-40EX500)

I think it's overriding the button config of the N64 controller. The most convenient way for me would be to get a second USB N64 controller.

This one did it for me. I always prefer video tutorials over text tutorials.

I'm more specifically interested if there is a single board computer that can run this

How about that!
It seems somebody was reading this because it only took my thread here in order to fix the problem!!!!

Figured it out!

input_map[p1_doubleleft_up] keyboard[0,8_pad]

etc.

@rhj501 i couldnt find an option in picodrive for team play or multi tap.

Thanks everyone. I reinstalled retropie and all is smooth again. Not 100% sure what was causing the conflict.

I have the same issue - I first noticed it in Hatari, the ST emulator, then on the Amiga emulator. I added a section to my Hatari setup guide specifically mentioning it.

I experimented with a wireless Logitech mouse, a wireless Microsoft mouse, and a wired Microsoft mouse (all laser type units).

It seemed to me that even on the Raspbian desktop the mouse tracking isn't smooth - I couldn't get a genuinely straight line even if moving any of the mice along a straight edge such as a ruler.

The effect is relatively subtle on the desktop, but it seems the lower resolution of the ST / Amiga emulators is amplifying the issue.

I spent a while messing with low-level settings to alter mouse input acceleration and so forth, but never resolved the issue.

Done the roms over the network and now happily playing streets of rage...childhood right there :) thanks guys :)

Sorry for the shameless bump, i am just desperate to change the screen saver to a company logo!

@Pyjamarama said in AdvMame and MAME2003 simultanesously?:

Is there artwork that makes AdvMAME set apart from MAME in the GUI?

Ahh, I get it now. Yes, you can do this:

See this thread with graphics to match:

thanks buzz.
seems the xbox controller was causing the problem

@Cole_48 Linux is sexy and loving but she can be a harsh and exacting mistress. ;-\

@lilbud can you reproduce it using rgui as menu driver?
I'm asking because maybe your issue is related to what is described here:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/2655#issuecomment-242959197

@5paceCat I recommend the 8-bitdo as well. They work great.

@Aabra If you mean this type of thing:
http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/fba-retroarch-core-coin-controls/#post-93014

then if you make a change to /arcade/retroarch.cfg it will affect all the emulators that you use against roms in the arcade roms folder. Which isnt necesairly an issue, but it means your hotkeys will change.

The input_enable_hotkey_btn = 5 you refer to is basically changing the hotkey enable function to another button - but it must be valid - see what yours are here:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/{controller-file-name}

I went through this a week or so ago. I got to the part about the pin also and left it a zeros. It gave me some error but if you go back to the setup menu and tell it to connect it should connect when you scan and hit the 2 buttons on the wii controller. Here is my thread on getting mine to work.
