@senkun Ha. Thanks. Mind you any combination of them makes total sense anyway... As long as you read the wiki top to bottom.

In addition to the above if I do run the ushid quirks fix. I can get it to recognize as two controls in emulation station and also running jstest.

However in that scenario the second joy stick just doesnt work in Retroarch to set it.

I have the same problem with SNES30 controller.
Select+L won't trigger load state, but L+Select does it.
For some reason every other hetkeys work in reverse order. For example B+Select will trigger reset.

Is this an issue with retropie/retroarch or the controller?

Fixed. Reinstalled and all is well.

Please make sure to let the person responsible for the dentist office practice know that they will be legally liable for any piracy of game software used on your RetroPie installation so that they don't suddenly get surprised if they get thousands of dollars of fines and software audits. Happened to a company I know who had their own playable MAME machine.

Sorry, forgot the xboxdrv file...

How many Controllers? (support up to 4 Controllers)

CONTROLLER_NUM=4

case $CONTROLLER_NUM in
1) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button"
;;
2) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button --next-contro$
;;
3) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button --next-contro$
;;
4) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button --next-contro$
;;
*) CONTROLLER="incorrect amount of controller specified"
;;
esac

LXDE is installable on any version of retropie - it's just been added to the menus to make it easier without having to drop to command prompt.

Hey thanks for the reply

Sorry this is the first time i have really played with the PI (only had it 2 weeks) I cannot find that directory :(

If i map a drive to the PI i can see \configs\all\emulationstation with the following files in
es_input.cfg
es_input.cfg.bak
es_input.cfg.save
es_log.txt
es_settings.cfg
es_temporaryinput.cfg

and in \configs\megadrive i see
content_history.lpl
dgenrc
emulators.cfg
retroarch.cfg
retroarch.cfg.rp-dist

By the looks of it there must have been an update done because now the only directories i actually see are now
BIOS
Configs
Roms
Splashscreens

Cut it up, scrape off two traces, wire em up, test it and see, if it works no point wasting any money. Should be an easy solder job as there are large solder points already provided, you just need to scrape some soldermask off for the ground, and don't forget to scrape off copper to separate those buttons on the dpad side (shown as white lines). G'luck.

And do please keep us updated on progress and pics, loads of pics! We love pics! :P

Ok thank you for the clarification!

I have so been wanting to set this up as a party game.

Sounds like you have removed some python packages or your python install is broken. This could be due to corruption, or a faulty card or user error. Recommend starting from a fresh image.

I have tried to use things that I have:

-WiiMote - Always been a pain and never quite worked (I need to try again though)

-PS1/PS2 controllers through USB adapter - This worked out of the box with an ancient radio shack adapter and I have since gone to the cheap dual playstation usb adapter. It works fins as long as both controllers match (don't mix analog and non-analog). I picked up some 6 foot cable extenders and the 2 controllers reach across the room. I will probably pick up a used playstation arcade stick at some point as well.

-Microsoft Sidewinder USB Joystick - Picked it up at a yard sale and it works, but it's too big for most systems that were designed to use a short arcade joystick.

-Cheap USB NES USB pad - Works okay, but feels cheap and has a really short cord

-Cheap SNES USB pad - Works better than the nes pad but still a short cord

I like the idea of bluetooth, but it's really finicky. The PS3 controllers are probably better supported than the Wiimote+Classic Controller, but they are also expensive and the generic PS3 controllers are a real roll of the dice quality-wise.

One final thought: The Playstation dual analog controllers (Xbox 360 probably is the same with twin sticks) are also nice because you can map the d-pad to a stick whick is a lot nicer for Atari and most shooters. It's passable for fighters that don't need 6 buttons (but I grew up on PS1 Tekken so I'm used to PS fighting style).

I think it's always worth having either an old PS pad with adapter or even a cheapie SNES pad around because they basically work out of the box. Anything wireless requires some setup and can be a hassle. Also, you can still use an adapted PS pad or usb pad with other devices (PC/Tablet).

Yep, better to just hide it from the menu. Rename the folder to dreamcast_hidden

Hi All.

I have been able to resolve my xin-mo issue, but I still face the issue of my network not seeing or connecting to my Raspberry Pi. I've checked cables, router and all seems in order. LAN lights are on, on the PI but I just cannot connect. Does it need to be in a certain screen or state in order to connect?

I reflashed the SD card using RetroPie v3.7, and now everything is working almost perfectly. All previously mentioned issues have been resolved, but now there's 1 new issue that I can't seem to get fixed.
On the 2nd xbox 360 controller, everything seems to be mapped and working properly, except for the left analog stick. The Analog to Digital is set to "Left Analog" in all of the config files, but for some reason it still isnt working.
Any help would be appreciated.

Actually figured it out. I erased all the shaders I put in and then placed them back in. Seems to work now with curvature.
