@XionXero said in Controller Help Needed:

Just got my Raspberry Pi 3+ and a preloaded flash drive from amazon.

So, you don't use the official Retropie image? Third party images are not supported here, because they may differ from the official one and thus, may have problems which the official doesn't. If you haven't installed the official image, you should do so. (But don't forget to backup any data that you don't want to lose before that!)

Furthermore, if you bought Retropie, it's illegal and you were cheated by the seller, because the Retropie license forbids selling of any kind.

Sorry to put it that bluntly, but it is like it is. If you're already using the official image, just ignore this post. 😌

Somethink like this, but US based.

great thanx. so the 2 player must be the start button on the second controller.
perfect. so i have configured the buttons. but if i hit it, i cant play. so there must be an Option to set the which button is the 2 player mode button

what do you think of it.

Has anyone figured out how to use LEDspicer with MAME to automate which buttons are used per ROM? I have LEDspicer running but can not for the life of me figure this out.

@Jimi007 Yeah the zero is too slow for Amiga, it also struggled with 32X.

I found that out the hard way after setting up a "MicroMiggy" using one and only realised at the end that its too slow.

Yes, that one. And you're correct about the revision history. I didn't check that. I must have misremembered what was there.

@andymarham did you ever solve this? I have exactly the same issue...

Never mind, I didn't realize when I saved the python script it saved additional embedded formatting. I just had to download a straight text editor and it is working fine. Thank you.

Late response to an old question but figured to post it as I ran into this problem my self and googled to this post:

Solution:

You need to edit the lair.txt file from the original directory:
H:\HyperPC\Roms\daphne\lair.daphne

to retropie's directory:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair.daphne

Edit: further review and research you could just delete the first row leaving a blank space

E.g.:

<Blank space>
151 lair.m2v

Skyscraper has an import module, use it to add your own info to the cache so your information doesn't get overwritten in the resulting gamelist.xml. Runtime logs can be found in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs, timestamped and compressed.

@BuZz said in Updates broke Lighttpd:

Or use after apt update useaptitude install on lighttpd and go through the options when you get the dependency issue and choose to downgrade SSL.

@mitu said in Updates broke Lighttpd:

Looks like I have to brush up also on some advanced apt options :).
You can try @BuZz's suggestion, but aptitude is not installed by default on a Raspbian lite.
Try forcing apt to install the Raspbian version:

sudo apt install --reinstall libssl1.1=1.1.0l-1~deb9u1

You are the best!
Both of these solutions would work out (tried 1st one without answering yes, but it would downgrade libssl and install lighttpd).
I used the @mitu one and then installed lighttpd.

Thank you for being so helpful and knowledgeable. :)

According to the game manual you'll have to press both buttons for a long jump:

FOR A SHORT JUMP - Use the ARROWS to indicate your direction and press BUTTON 1
FOR A LONG JUMP - Use the ARROWS to indicate your direction and press BUTTON 1 and BUTTON 2 simultaneously.

Thank. God. That was so much easier (though I still confused myself.) At least doing it that way I can test it in the game and change it on the fly if it wasn't right. Megadrive/Genesis is mapped correctly, so now I just need to work on the MAME games themselves (which I can save per game config instread of per core.)

Thank you so much!

has there been any progress on this front?

That seems a bit over-complicated. I'd maintain 2 sets of auto-configurations for the gamepads - one having a hotkey and the others without it - and switch between them by modifying the auto-config folder where RetroArch looks for the gamepad .cfg files, that folder is set in the main retroarch.cfg file.

Yes, it's possible - see the docs on how to pair and connect them

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS3-Controller/ https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS4-Controller/

That's not going to work, it's how CIFS/SMB works. You can't mount a host, just a share. Sure, the file browser shows you the available shares, but even on Windows (using Map Drive) you can't do that.
Maybe there's another solution with an intermediary program that reads the shares and mounts them separately so you can see them side-by-side, but underneath mount will still only map each shared folder.
