oh gosh, i was guessing that was it but i told myself (without checking of course!) "libzip-dev sounds pretty basic and I must already have that, the problem obviously lies elsewhere!" lol

thanks @BuZz that got it working for me again!

@herb_fargus Thanks, I had a feeling it's one and the same but I couldn't quite get a grasp on how things were configured/running, at least I've got more of a handle on how things interact now.

are you actually using lr-mame2003? latest version? you might have to rebuild lr-mame2003 from binaries or possibly from source to get this option, as it's quite new!

I'm having the same problem, I managed to get a bit further as described here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2069/xbox-360-controllers-xboxdrv

I've also tried the 'downgrade kernel' solution here, which didn't work for me but it may be of help to you:

I've also found this blog to be useful in configuring xbox controllers:

HTH :)

@mediamogul said in Hardcoded/Keyboard Only Controls:

Very handy, thank you. I've been somewhat unwilling to test ColecoVision's presence in RetroPie due to it's lack of viable joystick options, so I look forward to testing it now.

Realize that the AdamEm emulator that I use is different from CoolCV which is supported by RetroPie. If you own a Pi 1B and want to try AdamEm you should contact froum member IntvDave at the Atariage forum (I might be so bold as to send you the executable if he has stopped following the AtariAge forum...).

Good luck! :-)

Does it still play up if you set the interval to 5 secs and wait a good 10 secs before quitting after an in -game save point?

@Floob

Thanks Floob, I thought I was running version 3.8, but can't see it in any of the menu's / splash screen - where would I find it?

I ran the sudo find / -name "default.cfg" command, and there is one in home/pi/RetroPie/roms/config/default.cfg

I also tried the nano /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg and tried to put a select button map in there. Whatever I've done (blindly) seems to have helped and I could restart and use select the libretro mame config menu, but not in advmame.

However, in my earlier attempts to update packages to try to fix the button mapping I've created two new problems -

(update - fixed, and no longer an issue, I removed the static IP allocation and it works again!) my WiFi adapter doesn't seem to work anymore (edit: it see's the SSID, but doesn't connect - I'm checking my router config / static IP allocation in case the problem is in there...)

the RetroPie menu in ES looks very different, and

in the libretro Mame config interface (pressing Tab when game is running), half way through setting the buttons, it starts to takes ESCAPE to be a button choice, rather than to clear the existing button mapping (by the way your

was one of the most helpful when I first set this up with a little usb gamepad to test the concept before i built my cabinet - it's brilliant, thank you).

@mediamogul thanks for starting me in the right direction, good stuff here.

I'm a frustrated newb. (for pis and linux anyways, I quite know what I'm doing in windows and can pick things up) Please bear with me.

When you say xboxdrv and evtest, you lost me. However I did do a google search on evtest, which led me to a youtube video that seems to be outdated (it referred to a path that doesn't exist on my pi, another frustrating thing, so many outdated resources....no one can stick to a standard, thus leaving anyone actually searching for answers finding non-answers, not sure how to deal with this). It didn't seem to talk about evtest, but it did show me that the pi is seeing my device.

The video I found pointed me to the /dev/input path. Sure enough, my adapter plugged in with 2 SNES controllers shows up as 2 devices. And when I ran jstest on both of them, testing the buttons works. So, they can be seen by the device. But, when in emulationstation, they aren't seen. If I have only that device connected, it says none are detected. And when I try to set it up, it says hold a button on the controller, if I do, nothing happens, so it just isn't seeing that device. I don't get why emulationstation won't see it, when it clearly is there and seen from the command line.

What do you need me to do next?

Hi guys!!!
Yes, it registers as one entrie, js0 at /dev/input/

Wachi, I´ve followed your instructions and it worked!! Now it´s working fine the dual controllers.
thanks indeed!!

Finally back in front of my Pi,
That Achieved exactly what i wanted to!

As i have 'most' of my mame game scraped when i go into mame and if gives me the folders, it also shows the 'scraped' style list, with space for game description and artwork

Is there a way to
A) make it show the list of folders as a normal list (not the scraped style one)
Or
B) Give each folder artwork and description and have the list display this

AndrewPK

ok, thank you

@mediamogul I tested it with street fighter on the snes and both players were moved by one controller but with mario kart player 2 wouldn't move at all

@mr_faust Not a problem.

@recovery As herb_fargus says, its probably because when you updated it picked up this change:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/37857f0ebb2a46379227197bac7a954a3aae15c0

That means that you must have a corresponding .cue file for your PSX bin files
You can use this guide to create one:
http://www.shivaranjan.com/2007/01/03/how-to-create-cue-file-for-a-bin-file-in-5-steps/

Or you can create one with this tool:
http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/373724~1e45059000cfc371c157f544cc5aef07/MakeCue.zip

@administrators
I think I'm right in saying that if you run a .bin it will pick up the .cue if it exists - certainly works with WipeOut 2097 anyway.
On that basis, would it be easier to remove .cue instead of bin, then single track games without a cue sheet will still appear?

@scrappbrapp glad to help!
