Hi,

I tried to follow the instructions on the following page:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md

The new kernel 4..4.13:

pi@retropie:~ $ uname -r
4.4.13-v7+

Works better and my Logitech Rumblepad started working as expected:

pi@retropie:~ $ dmesg | grep logi
[ 4.454487] logitech 0003:046D:C20A.0001: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Logitech WingMan RumblePad] on usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input0
[ 4.454617] logitech 0003:046D:C20A.0001: Force feedback for Logitech variant 2 rumble devices by Anssi Hannula anssi.hannula@gmail.com
pi@retropie:~ $ lsmod | grep logi
hid_logitech 20896 0
ff_memless 4750 1 hid_logitech

The module dependencies are now like those on my Intel notebook using Ubuntu.
Regards

Frank

@kris964 I just got all of mine from the same place and have a full Neo Geo romset. Heaven.

UPDATE: It's not that I don't know which file is the source of the problem, I just don't know how to check. If somebody would tell me how, that would be great. Also, this same problem was present on a Raspberry Pi 3-something, and this is the second time the file has been put on the SD Card. I don't know if that will help fix my problem.

got it (with patched update-rpi.sh) working:

pi@retropie:~ $ curl 'http://pastebin.com/raw/e2ZKSMr1' -o 'patched_rpi-update.sh' -L -B
pi@retropie:~ $ tr -d '\015' < patched_rpi-update.sh > ./patched_rpi-update
pi@retropie:~ $ sudo chmod +x ./patched_rpi-update
pi@retropie:~ $ sudo ./patched_rpi-update 771a503cfc2a1130e2df2a4ddfc45ffa0f592b3f

Looks like adv-mame 1.4 has rudimentary rotary control support. It's playable but not perfect. The Analogue Controls section needs tuning.

Around 10-12 Digital speed and about 100% Sensitivity.
Dunno what auto centre does.

My Trackball was having issues with mouse polling. When I spun it too fast it would register the spin in the opposite way. I had to add "usbhid.mousepoll=1" to "/boot/cmdline.txt". To increase the poll rate.
Most people recommend mousepoll=2 but I was still getting backspin. As yet I haven't noticed a performance reduction at mousepoll=1. The back spin seems to be all gone.
I also had to plug the Trackball directly into the RetroPie USB. It was in a little USB hub but the USB hub speed wasn't enough

@steven I have a Wise USB adaptor which handles Saturn, Dreamcast and N64 - it works perfectly with my original N64 controllers. I've not yet been able to activate rumble on the N64 controller (I don't use the libretro mupn64plus emulator as it's too slow).

That said I can't enable rumble on the Playstation Dualshock either (using any emulator).

There's a list of the hardware I'm using, with links to Amazon, RS Components etc, for most of it here

i think it must still be an issue.. so yeah, go ahead :)

@meleu said in Questions about RetroPie with Multiple Remotes & the Retrode:

I think player 2 can invoke RGUI (usually select+X) and choose "Quit RetroArch".

Ah I didn't know that. Thanks :)

It's in the wiki. Check here.

@JCrew7384

I was asking for exactly the same thing. After some research a while back, I found out that I can do that in Pi!

Prerequisites:

An additional SD card installed with Raspbian. I will refer this card as technical card because this is the card that I keep to do dirty jobs, experiments etc.

A USB card reader, preferable one that can allow you to access 2 cards at the same time, so that you can do the cloning directly. i.e. https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-MobileLite-Multi-Function-FCR-MLG4/dp/B00KX4TORI

Instructions:

Backup the card that you're going to edit. Important if you do this for the 1st time. I'm very new to Raspbian or Linux, so I took that precaution - safety first :)

Boot your Pi with the technical card. Install "GParted".

sudo apt-get install gparted

It's a GUI based partition editing tool. You can shrink/move a disk partition with this power tool.

Attach the card reader with the card you're going to edit into one of the Pi's USB port.

Fire up GParted.

Make sure you select the correct card in the upper right dropdown list. In my case it's "sdc".

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pnphammkkiase31/2016-06-17-004736_1039x507_scrot.png

Unmount the partition that you're going to edit (in my case /dev/sdc2). You can do this right in the GUI. Highlight the partition and right click, choose "Unmount". Note that after this operation, the key right after the partition name will disappear.

After that partition goes offline, you can edit it by choosing "Resize/Move" from the same right click menu. Adjust the size to your liking.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xye6da7eva80sc/2016-06-17-005026_552x298_scrot.png

Apply the change: Edit->Apply All Operations and wait for the writing to finish.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjap5k5gxqntzww/2016-06-17-005125_1039x507_scrot.png

That's it.

EDIT:

I forget the last final step.

I am using this card reader:
https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-MobileLite-Multi-Function-FCR-MLG4/dp/B00KX4TORI

It can access 2 SD cards at the same time.

So I can clone sd card to sd card directly:

sudo dd bs=4M count=1280 if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd

sdc is the larger card, sdd is the smaller card (8GB).

Total cloning size is about 5GB (4M x 1280).

this was the missing piece

#Pretends all audio formats are supported by display, allowing passthrough of DTS/AC even when not reported as supported.
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1

thanks lots floob!!

@alfredox123 that's good to know

Did you read through https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/retroarch-configuration ?

Thanks for the info.
I knew jstest-gtk. I didn't know it is available via console, too.
I'm gonna test it with a USB gamepad first, to check if it's what I need (I suppose so). NES/SNES controllers test will take a while, since I need to prepare the interconnection board. Maybe I will do a quick test with jumpers.

Thanks everyone!

I found the solution for my setup. In short, the solution was to use the audio on my TV rather than my home theater system.

My Setup My setup is a small home theater, not a dedicated display for retro awesomeness... Raspberry Pi 3 HDMI output to TV TV volume all the way down Optical S/PDIF out to Bose speaker system

As it turns out, this is okay for some MAME games, not frogger or most anything that needs samples. It sounds like some of the audio durations are too short to come through the system. Perhaps it needs to un-mute the Bose amplifier and fade in, but by then it's too late to hear anything more than a slight pop.

Solution Raspberry Pi 3 HDMI output to TV Use TV volume (don't route audio through home theater, it can be plugged in but not used)

I put all of the config files back to default, I think..., and all of my mame and nes games seem to sound good with some quick testing.

All is well in retro land. I hope this helps someone else!

No problem. If you do make a clean install, check out the video to explain how to make RGUI changes stick.
