    The mesa-drm package should not be needed for a RPI3b+ installation.
    Please add more info about your setup - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

    It seems you do need to install something - see the manual:

    Once connected and booted up, you can navigate to the terminal to install the required
    gpio drivers.
    In RetroPie, you can do this by pressing the Ctrl-Alt and F4 key; this changes view to a
    virtual terminal window, which you can run ‘emulationstation’ to go back to
    RetroPie.
    ...

    It looks like you need to install GPIONext, a GPIO user driver to make the gamepad(s) work.

    @mitu I got it working by setting the emulator to "psx-rearmed" instead of "Ir-psx-rearmed". I want to double check if this is a safe way to fixing the problem

    Hm. Still at a loss. Do I have to save the game config to make it work? I would like to make a working configuration on the fly and only save it when it works. Also "User 1 Device Type" - I believe this should stay RetroPad? "User 1 Analog To Digital" - should I fiddle around with that? "User 1 Steering" is set to "Left Analog X" - which sounds reasonable, but does not work...

    @VictimRLSH Hm, a quick test shows it's not working at runtime (i.e. without rebooting the device). Maybe fiddling with tvservice would allow this - I'll have a to check more.

    @sushisan I do agree with that. The code that fails was added later and I guess wasn't tested on older cmake. We can bump the cmake version but I don't mind if someone wants to make it work on older cmake too so long as it's easily maintainable. Eg Not having to adjusting the JSON cmake files if we upgrade that component to keep compatibility. Easier just to require a newer cmake.

    I write the solution for my case. Maybe it could help someone

    Pi4 model b
    access point: TP-LINK RE450

    Retropie, any version for some strange reason does not connect to the access point.

    SOLUTION: I had to install an OPEN-WRT custom firmware on the access point.

    Once rebooted and configured, everything works.

    The strange thing, that the first time, with the firmware stock was connected perfectly, then you can not.

    Hi mitu. Good info. Gives me an idea after all.

    Also, being a moderator would you mind fixing the code quotes in my previous post? Sorry... when trying to edit it is saying I am spam.

    @iamoasis said in Double Dragon (MAME):

    some spreadsheets that show games that have been tested on different emulators

    Some entries in those spreadsheets are wrong though, because some of the testers didn't follow the "pick an emulator then pick the right romsets for that emulator" rule.

    You're not running into issues with building the N64 emulator mupen64plus? It's only happening on Debian Stretch (x86-64) but it could be my setup so that's why I'm asking. It's requiring a newer version of cmake than what's available:

    /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/mupen64plus/GLideN64/projects/cmake /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/mupen64plus /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required): CMake 3.9 or higher is required. You are running version 3.7.2

    @mitu ah yeah, my bad. Guess I'll have to wait for the next version for source to be 1.8.5, or I'll have to modify the setup script.

    @mitu said in Are Multiple Mice Supported or Was That Feature Trashed?:

    You can check by looking at the RetroArch's debug log and by running cat /proc/bus/input/devices.
    Remembering your first RetroArch debug log, my guess is that RetroArch counts twice a mouse device as both /dev/input/mouseX and /dev/input/eventY. You can check this theory by adding a mouse (so you have 3 devices) and using indexes 0, 2 and 4 to see if each device is detected and working.

    Okay. I can see that now, with access to the computer again. (Remember, it's in a different place than my desktop, that I use for posting.) Thanks!

    Now I have the primary Mini PAC set in Keyboard Mode and I see that it recognizes the Mini PACs as devices, but also recognizes the devices on them separately. It looks like keyboard in the Mini PAC gets an event node. Interestingly, the Ultimarc SpinTrak (the spinner) gets Event 5, not 6. When I test with cat /dev/input/event6 I get input from the spinner and I don't with event5.

    But this shows me that some of the devices are broken down into multiple devices and explains why something else is "in between" the trackball and the spinner.

    As a side note, even though this is a built in function for RetroArch, I've now done what the manufacturer claims can't be done. Xtensions claims that, in D Input Mode, you can only have one mouse device, so you can have the trackball (somehow that always ends up as the one to take priority) but not the spinner in that mode. I'll be writing them about that!

    When I have all my questions worked out, I'm going to either write up a few blog pages or make a few videos for others with the same issues. I'm hoping that they will use the so their other customers can get this working, too.
