I got it working. I had a couple lines added in the config file that I did when I was trying to get my wiimote working. I just commented them out and it started working. I haven't tried to see if the wiimote still works after making the change. When I was trying to get it to work I changed and added quite a bit of stuff so hopefully it isn't needed.

@jrmymllr yes, it remembers. at least, for all the lr-emulators, and emulationstation itself.

Hi all,

I was worrying about setting this controller up on my system
RPi3
RetroPie 4.0.3
The Xin-Mo shows up as "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 16c0:05e1 Van Ooijen Technische Informatica Free shared USB VID/PID pair for CDC devices

I added usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040 to /boot/cmdline.txt after a space after the last entry on the same line and rebooted.

I have a NES controller as Joystick one.

I reset emulation station in RetroPie-Setup, Configuration / Tools to Clear/Reset Emulation Station input config and restarted EmulationStation and configured the new controller by pressing a Xin-Mo button on Player 1. I could then control the EmulatinStation/RetroPie menus via Xin-Mo P1. This shows as Joystick 2.

I then fired up a game in Mame4All (Streetfighter2) and hit Tab when the game started and Selected Input General. For UI Cancel I chose , My NES controller Hotkets Select+Start and also Xin-Mo Select +Start as my ROM exit keys.

I then added P1 and P2 settings in Input (This Game) for Xin-Mo P1 and P2. My joy 2 and joy3,as NES controller is joy1.

This is working for me. I hope this helps anyone trying to keep up with getting this working on new versions of everything.

Cheers

Stuart

Hi

On the Pimoroni forum there have been several people with this type of issue and the fix was to re-solder the existing audio jack socket.

Cheers

Hi Buzz, yes I have installed. Now is on the SD card in the directory Roms/Dreamcast a systemManager.cdi file, but not on the HDD.

I did the same thing too except I created a sub-folder within the roms directory and called it mame-samples and edited both the 1.4x and the 0.9x versions of the mame-advmame.rc file and referenced my folder there as I found some of my games were using the 0.94 version while others were using the 1.4 version of the rc file.

On the sample path line, I appended the updated folder path to the existing entry.

dir_sample /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame/samples:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/sample:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-samples

Any new audio samples I'll download will go to this folder instead of within the samples folder of ADV-MAME.

The samples work when they're zipped, not extracted.

Yes, the second one you linked. you would connect your power in to the microusb port. The full USB port would go to the PI's micro port. Blue/White would go to GPIO. Power switch would be soldered to switch +/- connections... If you could fashion something to use the reset switch, you could connect that to the reset connections. You can also connect the front led to the LED/Gnd ports as well... (GND is shared between reset and led)

@Floob pi3 using lr-fceumm.
No overclock.

Not yet - I will update https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1696 when it is done.

Made some progress by changing the retroarch config to use sdl2 instead of udev. However It feels a little bit flaky. Now I need to try and get the second controller connected.

Another couple of ssh options, assuming your Pi is networked:

From an android device, use JuiceSsh. This is an excellent remote shell tool, and free
From Windows, use PuTTY.

Awesome thanks so much for the quick reply!! Going to try this now :) Appreciate the assistance!

@superdan said in Keyboard TAB key not working in MAME/Retroepie:

Thanks for your replies,
The situation at the moment:
lr-imame4all -> TAB not working if games are in the "arcade" folder.

tab doesn't work in lr-imame4all. if you want to use tab, use mame4all-pi, also available in the arcade folder.

Thanks for the reply suprjami. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work looking at those two links. My knowledge of linux just isn't good enough.

If only there was a way to use a conditional statement within asound.conf that checks to see if the USB headset is plugged in before changing the default output to it.

While trying to be helpful, the above posts were not specific enough.

Using hints from the config files here:
/opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/WishTechnologiesAdaptoid.cfg

And the official documentation from both mupen64 and retroarch, I managed to create a configuration specific to the N64 controller with adaptoid USB<->N64.

(EDIT: The below confusion caused by one simple issue. One cannot restart emulation station to reload the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/, one has to restart the entire RPi!!! What a bug D:)
There is some confusion for me that I'm trying to work out. I set the save/load state, but somehow load state on button "12" and in the mupen config it's "DPad L = button(12)", yet start+C-left will load state... Weird stuff all around.

In WishTechnologiesAdaptoid.cfg:
#Start button
input_start_btn = "8"
#Start is now the "hotkey"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
#Left shoulder "L"
input_l2_btn = "6"
#Start (hotkey) + Left-Shoulder will exit the emulator
input_exit_emulator_btn = "6"

Full adaptoid config in /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini
I was using this to reference what button is what for the above changes. By default from the previously linked config, it had some issues, such as A button was C-down, C-down didn't do anything.

; Wish Technologies Adaptoid_START
[Wish Technologies Adaptoid]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768

; Wish Technologies Adaptoid_END

Side note, I wanted to make sure keyboard and other controllers are disabled. I have some USB SNES style controllers, but I don't want them working with the N64 emulator.

In /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini
Find the "plugged" option for keyboard and other controllers you don't want to run in the N64 emulator, and change "plugged" from "True" to "False"
; Keyboard_START
[Keyboard]
plugged = False

#My case has these other USB controllers configured:
; 2Axes 11Keys Game Pad_START
[2Axes 11Keys Game Pad]
plugged = False

@meleu Yep, changed it, but it still wants to use controller #1 to control Luigi
