@anth87 said in Reicast not loading roms:

my controllers dont work but will search forum

Use the Configuration/Tools menu in RetroPie setup script, then go to the reicast entry and start the controller configuration script from there.

Thanks for looking into it!

@dizmodawg so if I got a new encoder that would fix it? and if yes do you have a suggestion?

Thanks again for your reply

@ChaosFox or like @mitu says, install Ubuntu and then Retropie...

Thanks!

@Thorr69 thanks for the reply; i didn't know about that setting and thank you for sharing, but that's not what's going on in this case. some games for the msx just have the buttons swapped from what you'd expect, like Vampire Killer, as mentioned in the video linked below.

i have a few solutions for swapping a and b now for this emulator, but now i'm focused on mapping keyboard keys to buttons in lr-bluemsx (or adjusting the emulation speed in lr-fmsx), which i'm still hoping to figure out.

this video mentions that the buttons are swapped from what you'd expect in Vampire Killer even if you're playing on an actual msx with a controller (mentioned at timestamp 4:35, which i tried to include in the link):

im looking forward to seeing how mame current is running on the pi 4. I only usually play 80s and 90s that would be an ideal setup for the living room barcade has a mini pc in it at the moment can see me changing that anytime soon. If the mame team do some dynarecs for arm there could be a fair few systems on the go on the pi.

@mitu hmmmm. I'll give it another go tomorrow when I've got some time. Thanks for checking though.

If it fails again, I'll add it folder by folder and see when it breaks.

never mind... if fixed it!

1st i made a full .uae file like written in this thread. But that didn't work. Apparently the .uae only needs to have the drive settings and then it works. e.g. this for Canon Fodder i have this .uae file

floppy0=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANFOD-1.ADF floppy0type=0 floppy1=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANFOD-2.ADF floppy1type=1 floppy2=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANFOD-3.ADF floppy2type=1 floppy3=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANDATA.ADF floppy3type=1

with nothing else in it, and then it works...

@mitu said in Per game config:

If you're using RetroPie, then the method to use a per-game emulator is the runcommand launch menu, the .cfg file does not set the emulator, just configures certain options for it (after the launch).

Thanks for the response.

No, I'm not in retropie, I'm using Retrobat for Windows.

Then I'll have to put this game in a separate system.

Thanks again anyway.

Hi @laserbones , you can use ARRM to update only the metadata you want. See Wiki : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=scrape_text_only_en

@Darksavior Ty for this information! I am a visual learner so I usually default to youtube for help, sorry :/

@grant2258 I started a new topic on this to not clutter this one.

@mitu Alright thank you so much, I've discovered that the reason that my control only worked on Spider-Man was because that game supported Dualshock and not all ps1 games support Dualshock. What happened is when I went into the options menu, I had the pad type originally on standard and moved it to Dualshock, not all ps1 games are compatible with Dualshock and are only playable through Standard pad type. Thanks for the article @mitu I really appreciate it homie ❤.

Thanks.

@mariofilho Hi Mario, this forum is for RetroPie. I think you are looking for https://forum.recalbox.com/

Just moved everything into the main folder and all's well now. Thanks for your help!
