@avendosora ok that worked! I just copied the gamelist.xml from the .emulationstation fodlers for each system and now they all have video! thanks so much for you help in figuring this out its been driving me nuts.

@folly Thanks for chiming in, I'll look into that!

Yeah from what I've seen so far, a lot of the menus still have enough English to be playable, with the worst of it generally being not being able to read/understand the characters for games where you'd have to make up a name for yourself. With an RPG like Esper Dream however, the language barrier was definitely going to be an issue (but fortunately a translated ROM exists). Just don't want to have it inconvenience me later on.

Anyway, hopefully I can get someone who can answer some of these other questions...!!

@yfzdude Ty for the fast response, ill keep trying to make it work¡¡

If you're in lr-mame emulators you can just hit TAB to get to the "mame menu" and most (not all) games have a difficulty setting.

@scenariol113
OK
I figured it out with some off site help.

I was able to compile it by editing the supermodel directory /Src/Input/inputs.cpp

in the input.cpp file you edit the UI Controls line (1st line) for "uiExit"

where it says INPUT_UI, "ESCAPE" you change it to INPUT_COMMON, "NONE"

Then you run the -config-inputs command and map your keys.

The UI Exit should be in the list now to map it.

Now you can exit supermodel from somewhere besides a keyboard.

Here is a youtube link and the guy that helped me. Read the comments and you will get a better understanding

@offlercrocgod Xbox360 controllers do not have Bluetooth and will require a usb adapter to work. 3rd party adaptors are sold on Amazon and work just fine.
If you wanted to go the Bluetooth route, you need an Xbox one controller WITH BLUETOOTH. Not all have it. Or get a ps4 controller.

@dizmodawg Use KIOSK mode would probably be easier to still have those available in FULL mode. You could just jump back and forth when you need to edit something. The stuff would still be there, but "hidden" in KIOSK mode. You just have to set the "hidden" flag on each entry in each system and the system won't show up. You can use KID mode like this to. You can flag a handful of ROMs as "kid friendly" and then that's all that will show up.

They're kinda opposites. KIOSK mode will show everything except flagged. KID mode will show only flagged.

I know this topic is really old but i had the same problem myself and solved it. I noticed that the button mappings in RetroArch interfered with MAME 2010's mappings. One button could mean one thing in RetroArch but another in MAME so RetroArch would say to MAME something like - Hey! We also want to press this button!

What i did was that i blanked out the button mappings in RetroArch so they're seen as ---. After this my MAME mappings worked straight away. Then saved it as a content (game) specific configuration.

@mitu Good call! I'm not sure how much power it's pulling, but setting over_voltage to 2 definitely makes it last longer, though not completely staying on all the time. Trying with setting it to 3 right now and that seems to be going strong!

@mitu so i just mapped it in ES ( after re-enabling auto save) and then i had to quit ES and i did a system shutdown, performed a reboot and it is WORKING! so far, yes!! i think before, i wasn't exiting ES correctly and it kept remapping the r1 to only the start button as the "y" button. and it was showing up as a keyboard input. I REALLY appreciate your help. thank you!

@sephiroth Unless you have a way to mount that cloud drive as a normal mount in the filesystem, I don't think you can do this.

I'm 99% sure ftp can't as it is a request-based system. It does not have the granularity for fetching data as is needed by the emulators.

You might be able to create a script for it though, which fetches a rom file from the ftp and places it in the required location. Then deletes it afterwards or something. But you would still need dummy-files placed in the filesystem that initiate the script in the first place.

Then I have no idea. I routinely use a keyboard - without a hotkey set - and don't experience the behavior you're describing.

@mitu OK, ffs this is finally working !!!!

Maybe it was cache when i uninstall/install without rebooting but now files are here and not empty.

games are launching too

Big thanks to the time you gave to me

@derebo RetroPie logs every installation in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs, can you look into the last log file to see if the xboxdrv installation was successful ? You can also re-run the installation to generate a new log file and then post the log file on pastebin.com.

@peppe_h

Run this from any platform folder on the RetroPie:

cat gamelist.xml | grep '<name>' | cut -d '>' -f2 | cut -d '<' -f1 > titles.txt

It will export all titles to titles.txt

@mitu I got my screenshot the way you suggested:

flip back to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d in /boot/config.txt use raspi2png

Thanks!

@zering just to be clear you are saying to remap in Emulation Station or Retroarch?

Is there any way to backup my current mapping?

I have a PlayStation 4 Dual Shock controller that seems to not have this issue with the same mapping. The one with the issue is a Vilros classic PlayStation controller with two analog sticks.

Thanks, all!
Cab is looking better and better...have issues with videos but that will be a different topic.
