Yeah it might be a feature someday like PiPlay. You can also modify /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg. For each system you want to comment out put a <!-- before <system>and <--after </system>. That will comment out that whole emulator from showing up in you list. Example below for the Apple II.

<!-- <system> <name>apple2</name> <fullname>Apple II</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apple2</path> <extension>.sh .SH</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ apple2 %ROM%</command> <platform>apple2</platform> <theme>apple2</theme> </system> <--

Hi:

I have that setup, everything seems to work fine, i'm using ps3 controllers and they work well.

Only issue is when playing games like outrun, i would like to used analog stick instead of buttons for turning.

I have tried to iused "tab" key to change buttons but no luck. what cna I do to change buttons mapping inside games?

Regards and thank you for your time.

@pierpa86

solved... emulation station cant detect joypad with no buttons, you need to use joypad with at least 1 button for detect.

thanks Finhead,
but I resolved. the problem was in lair.m2v file ...it was no decrypt.
and daphne_log.txt file wasn't found because there was -nolog in lair.command file..
just a noobs error! :)
dak.

Wow. People weren't kidding about sselphs scraper. To say it was faster is an understatement. It scraped all my roms in about an hour. The other by comparison could take hours to go through a single large console library.

Looks like my limited success is becoming more and more limited. Now, without changing any settings in the config.txt file the signal lasts for 2-3 minutes, then goes black, then goes to no signal at all. The only change I have made is adding roms to the roms folders.

@opensourcefan the archive has never worked for me, but yeah I dont even know why its an option anymore. probably cause emulationstation development is dead so makes sense there are obsolete things in there still

OIC now... The extra space before the file extension. OK, yeah that was definitely the problem then. Say hi to Banjo for me.

I found out how to do it srry for post

OK, my apologies, i have no idea what went wrong but its just randomly fixed itself.
Ignore this post now.

Ok, so what happened was..... with the SNES and NES roms I had left them in their zip folders. And the emulators seem to handle that just fine. But apparently the Atari and the Apple2 emulators don't recognize the zip folders. Yes, I know that's a beginner mistake, but my previous knowledge is zero.....so...... And now I know what it means on the github documentation that the accepted extensions like .ATR etc are specific for the destination folder. I am so new at this I didn't even know what to look for. But I'm reliving the 80's like a boss now.

Thanks again for your help, y'all fixed it!

ok, got a small problem, did all that and added:
p1control A=J0B0,B=J0B1,C=J0B2,D=J0B3,START=J0B6,COIN=J0B10,UP=J0a1,DOWN=J0a1,LEFT=J0A0,RIGHT=J0A0,MENU=J0B7

to the gngeorc file and the controller works BUT:
coin is the center big xbox button and start is the left trigger.

that seems weird
does anyone know the code for the start and select buttons on an xbox 360 controller or how to find out?
cheers

SOLVED - rename dc_bios.bin to dc_boot.bin its ok!

@Gate I wonder if my advice is just too far removed from your configuration. I don't have any controllers--only a keyboard interface (IPAC-4). All of my controls are wired directly to the keyboard interface, so none of the joypads apply for me.

I am surprised, however, that you can't get the MAME GUI to appear with the TAB key on a keyboard. It can be very handy to see inside the emulator what MAME thinks you have mapped to a given control. I wish I had more advice to troubleshoot.

the genesis folder was just a symlink to the megadrive folder. You can't create a new genesis folder but you can recreate the link by reinstalling lr-picodrive (or any other megadrive emulator) from retropie-setup menu 5.

Or just use the megadrive folder.

@Jonathan I've only got 8 GB left on my 128GB thumbdrive..... :)
