After trying Bluetooth w/o success --- Does Retropie Support USB Headphones and Headsets? How does it work? I am new to Linux as well --- I am not afraid of using the command line --- I just need my handheld if needed. Thank you in advance.

@mitu over the repository

@spud11 I’m sure you have this figured out now, but in your config I can see a few things that would cause your controllers to have input problems and also crossover.

In this line you are missing or between the two joysticks:

input_map[p1_button4] joystick_button[2,1] joystick_digital[0,0,2,1]

Should be:

input_map[p1_button4] joystick_button[2,1] or joystick_digital[0,0,2,1]

Also on the raspberry each controller port has a number starting with 0. In the config it’s the first number after the [ bracket. On your line above the P1 joystick_button[2,1] is mapped to Controller 3, but joystick_digital[0,0,2,1] looks good and is mapped correctly to Controller 1.

0 = port 1 (Should be P1) Controller 1
1 = port 2 (Should be P2) Controller 2
2 = port 3 (Should be P3) Controller 3
3 = port 4 (Should be P4) Controller 4

You would want to line all of these up this way. Theough your config I can see Player 1 mapped to Player 2 and vice versa. Also there are crossovers on the UI and Coin settings. Not your fault bro and I felt your pain.

Made this video and hope it helps as far as understanding the config and how to line things up. It’s for PS3 controllers but the same principles apply. Any questions reach out.

When I updated all my pi packages & kernel, I could save in AGS.

Okay, solved and this is one I recommend making more clear in the documentation. My issue was that I ALWAYS keep a wireless keyboard connected to my Retropie. It's just a tiny dongle taking one port so why not? It's so much easier for certain tasks.

However, I kept wondering why the test rom for Intellivision was reporting that I was on controller 2 and every other comment pointed to controller one. Then I noticed posts where people said that Daphne and Intellivion (jzintv anyway) assign the first controller they see, which in this case was the keyboard -- and that explained why the keyboard worked. Ugh.

@gojo said in Can't open any options but games work:

I paid good money for this card and need it to work. I don't have a working backup yet. Learning the hard way.

We don't support scammers selling pre-loaded systems. Ask them for support or use the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

Thank you, by any chance do you know a different bluetooth controller that's cheaper than this?

Thanks, my idea basicly is having a GUI to redirect all my roms to the best emulator, and if is open source is always better :)

@mitu for what I need, it seems this does the trick:

~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh pkg depends ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh pkg install_bin

Good to know!
Thank you both @mitu and @DTEAM

@mitu Before I considered dismantling the buttons from my arcade, I found this other command called jstest, which allowed me to see on the command line what each button was configured to on the USB encoder.

Once I ran jstest /dev/input/js0 for player 1 controls and jstest /dev/input/js1 for player 2 controls, Player 1 appeared to be configured correctly with buttons A and B. However, Player 2 clearly is the one not configured correctly. Here I finally found my problem where player 2 had buttons A and B setup to the wrong physical pins of the USB encoder.

Now that I had SW proof of my mistake, I disassembled my controller case and flipped the connections for those two buttons on player 2 onto the USB encoder. Put everything back the way it was, and behold my arcade is now acting correctly with both controls synced up.

Thank you very much @mitu for your suggestion. I do appreciate it.

@thorr69 Great solution, thanks a lot :).

I turned the scan off and removed it from the gamelist.xml it's gone now and it stays away, awesome!

@yfzdude Actually thought we had this one.

I sent back and took a CLOSE look at emulators.cfg (where you add the link to the hack file) as I found it odd that mine was already there.

What I realized is that it was there, but for the tzintvecs (which I assume has something to do with running things in the expansion port). So, I added it to the main program as you can see below, but still nothing. Changing the JS1's to JS0's also made no difference after this fix.

jzintv = "/opt/retropie/emulators/jzintv/bin/jzintv -p /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -q --kbdhackfile=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/intellivision/hackfile.cfg %ROM%" Advanced Controller Mapping %ROM%" default = "jzintv" jzintvecs="/opt/retropie/emulators/jzintv/bin/jzintv -v1 -s1 --kbdhackfile=/opt/retropie/configs/intellivision/hackfile.cfg -z1920x1080, -f1 -q -p /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS %ROM%"

@omission229
I don't see why not. I do everything on Manjaro Linux with no issues. I'd have thought a Chromebook would be much the same. Never used one though.

@mitu
Thanks for the help.

After some reading up, found that the Nvidia driver 340.108 has already EOL.
Last supported was for Kernel version 5.4.

Perhaps this is the reason why the driver is not running well in the latest Ubuntu.

@mitu yes in this case "tweaking" does refer to uncommenting all the lines which I read was necessary when doing this. I'll re-comment them and see what happens . Thanks!

@mrpacman17

There is no response at all to the keyboard, I am not sure how it handles the Raspberry Pi400 built in keyboard. I would like to build a Bar top game system but I would like to search for the game in either the "ALL GAMES" section or my "FAVORITES" section. Also, I am undecided whether to go with a 6 button layout or a 8 button layout, and if I go with the 6 button layout, can I use those extra buttons for features like "LOAD/SAVE" Volume UP" "Volume Down" "ESC" ? Thanks for any help!!

@rateye777 Is it possible to download retropie 4.6 anywhere? For either Raspberry 3 or 4.
