    Do you bother with any of these?

    uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

    #hdmi_force_hotplug=1

    uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

    #hdmi_group=1
    #hdmi_mode=1

    Just a quick follow up on this issue, I successfully ran puyo puyo with mame2003 and the right romset.
    Thank you for your help Floob.

    @suprjami said in Installed 4.0 retropie...now no shutdown..:

    @chippettone The X360 L2R2 configuration problem you describe is resolved in 4.0 with an xpad module option that changes the analog triggers into buttons.

    If you need to add the module option, this should do it: echo "options xpad triggers_to_buttons=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/xpad.conf and you'll need to reboot then reconfigure controllers after that.

    This is set up by the xpad driver in RetroPie-Setup, but it will have no effect unless that driver is installed (the option may exist for the shipped kernel xpad driver, but it will only apply to unknown joypads. I patched the updated xpad driver to make this apply for any joypads).

    If the user has updated from 4.0rc to 4.0 final, they will need to install the new driver from Manage Packages -> Drivers -> Updated Xpad Driver

    I'll get back to my forum break again now :) - just wanted to clarify this in case the OP hasn't installed the updated driver (which it looks like).

    I don't have those controllers, but had the exact same issue with 2 8bitdo SFC30 controllers: When i 2 player games player 1 would control both players.

    The issue was that the controllers were connecting in "keyboard" mode and the d-pad keys in this mode are mapped to the keyboard ctrl keys (presume a computer only normally has 1 keyboard hence both controllers were mapped to the ctrl keys)

    The solution was to get the controllers to connect in "joystick" mode and then they worked correctly.

    However, they required totally reconfiguring again and I went back to basics to do this and more or less followed this video:

    I had to remove the blue tooth pairing and re-pair in this mode.

    I reverted the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg back to defaults and the final solution had NO configuration in here just using the auto map functionality.

    Used a default joypad config file from here: https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev for my joypad in here: /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

    And then did the Normal Emulation Station input process (and manually added the hotkeys into the ES_input file)

    Matt...

    no joy.
    the share doesn't have a uuid to use in the fstab.
    here's the line in the fstab as it is now:
    ····//10.0.0.10/Share/Folder /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Saves cifs username=pi,password=raspberry,uid=1000,gid=100id=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,x-systemd.automount 0 0
    Inline code
    if it helps, its a Pi3, rasbian jesse image, then emulation station installed on the side.

    MVC2 doesn't work on mame, until you get to the latest live version of mame, and it's very very very slow, even on my 4Ghz desktop system. Best bet: Dreamcast Version with Reicast works mostly full speed on a pi3.

    Sorry I was having trouble posting on the forum, so I could not respond.

    I can confirm on a clean install of RetroPie 4.0 image, I am able to change the keyboard using dpkg command, so something I am doing must be interfering with the command later.

    How weird!

    @BuZz said in Entries in Arcade folder when using AdvMAME 1.4 Artwork:

    Just the subfolders - they are symlinks so one directly is actually a reference to another.

    It was by design so if you wanted to use Arcade, you didn't have to duplicate data.

    I can see that it will be problematic though unless you remove the symlinks. I think it might just be easiest to switch back to directories have have the user copy or move data as needed.

    Ah ok, that makes sense. Yeah I wouldn't mind moving data around. I pretty much built the folder structure on a USB drive then match my "root" starting folder then cut-n-paste everything from ROMs, hiscore.dat, cheat.dat mameinfo.dat, screenshots, configs, pretty much everything in one shot with SCP when starting from scratch.

    @BuZz said in mame4all confusion (forked):

    @Riverstorm I guess because it was easier from a code point of view and more compact etc. They could just dump the data structures then to the file without having to convert them to/from a human readable format. They may have had other reasons however.

    That makes sense. I am definitely a strong advocate for "other reasons". Some of the people I work with occasionally make comments on how this or that is "dumb". I always reply with they probably had their reasons at the time why they did something a specific way.
