@kmancali , on top of what @mitu said, if you want to have some systems directories in different mount points (or partitions) symlink just those directories:

/mnt/roms/amiga to $HOME/RetroPie/roms/amiga

while $HOME/RetroPie/roms remains in the main partition

SOLVED!

I have now solved my issue and will try and explain what I did (In case someone else goes through the same problem)

So what I was trying to do was to connect a Windows 7 computer or a Windows 10 computer to the Raspberry Pi over the network so I could easier send files between my Windows computers and the Raspberry pi.

What you need to do is to activate protocols in regard to network on the computers: that they are allowed to send information , that they are visible etc. You also need to make sure you have enabled SMB on the windows computer.
Then you need to follow this tutorial on this link, this link was the final puzzle piece that solved it for me. =)

Ps. If I have time I will see if I can post a more in-depth tutorial.

Thank you
@mitu for you many replies and thank you
@yfzdude for your input as well =)

@mitu Thank you, I looked there but it didn't really help me, I will try again though and perhaps I missed something.....

@rapidedwin08 said in Zdoom and Gampad Fully Working in MENU with NO KEYBOARD:

@mitu What else could be done at this point?

I'll do a PR with the new version changes and see what defaults we can set for the joypad when installing, via configuration.

@mrmichaelhallett No links/mentions of ROM sites in the forum, please respect the forum rules.

@mitu Will do, thanks!

@mitu Ahh thank you! I was trying to find where the autostart command was - but was looking in /home/pi in .bashrc, etc... I'll try one of those two solutions. Thanks again!

I think I faced exactly the same thing as you yesterday. I got an error message where it said something about the audio, sorry don't remember the error message. I tried a few things and gave up and just installed everything (Raspbian and Retropie) again. It should be another way though..... Its absurd you have to reinstall an OS because of this....

@crush
ah you guys are legends - thank you!

@daviddraper said in MAME key bindings save file? MAME/ROM associations save file?:

Thanks very much everyone. This is all very helpful.

David

Your welcome !

I replied your thread because we also have to learn a great deal about MAME.

I want to ask you : " Can you make a summarize in your first post for us on what you have learned so far about these MAME configs ? "

Then we can read this again, and create a much better picture on how this works.

@mitu thank you, that was the problem yes

My arcade cabinet (from Recroommasters) has an Emulator Edition Plus controller as well, and I learned a few other tips in trying to remove my defined Hotkey from Retroarch so I thought I'd add them to this post.

First, it helps tremendously to have the keyboard mappings for the controller:
Keyboard.jpg

Most of the games in my setup use 3 buttons max, so I worked to avoid the 3 'player one' buttons to the left of the trackball conflicting with Retroarch definitions that tend to require a hotkey. I may do a little more tweaking, but these are the main changes I made within the 'default' retroarch.cfg file (located at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg):

input_toggle_fast_forward = "nul" # input_exit_emulator = "num1" input_reset = "v" input_menu_toggle = "c" input_grab_mouse_toggle = "j" input_state_slot_increase = "nul" input_state_slot_decrease = "nul" input_enable_hotkey = "nul"

A few tips and explanations:

There are multiple copies of retroarch.cfg, especially in all of the different emulator-specific folders. But, I also found a copy in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/retroarch.cfg. I read a few posts in this forum indicating this shouldn't exist / isn't needed - I thought it was interfering with implementing the above changes, so I renamed it. It didn't make a difference (see #2 below), but it also didn't seem to regress anything, either. Initially, I couldn't get the 'fast forward' option to not be mapped to the 'space' key, which is right-most of the 3 'player 1' buttons. The line for this option was commented out in the 'default' retroarch.cfg file, but I found the copy mentioned in #1 above (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/retroarch.cfg) had the line un-commented. However, even renaming this copy didn't help...I had to actually un-comment out the line in the 'default' retroarch.cfg file and then change the value to what I wanted ("nul" - I can't imagine wanting to fast-forward the action in a game!). I find the 'grab mouse toggle' mapping very helpful, because any game using the spinner or trackball can run into a problem with the OS mouse pointer hitting the boundary of the screen 'underneath', which prevents the game pointer from moving as well. This has been reported in the Retroarch forums, and there is a fix available that should help, but it isn't yet available in the latest version of Retropie (4.7.1, which has Retroarch 1.8.8 and the fix was released afterward). Until it is included in an upcoming release of Retropie, I need to press the 'grab mouse toggle' key to avoid problems.

@gabrielmm2

i was have same problem solve it by enter the retroarch inside the game go to controls and then leave black the service button choice

@mitu Ok, thanks)

@tpr not in mame2003, however mame2003-plus just added official support for the middle mouse click. 😎😃 You can update or install it from source to get the new input.
