I tested the instructions from the Docs and they seem to work - I started the 'Duke it out in DC' add-on. Make sure you have the full registered game and not the shareware version installed.

@melbmatt50 I've only ever used mame with an all-sega image I built a couple months ago and used retroflag's wired megadrive controller, so no analogs but it worked fine, though I never tested the mame stuff out on analog controllers.

Do you have the same problem with other mame cores?

@mitu i gave

for dev in /dev/input/js*; do udevadm info --name $dev; done

@SpudsMcToole
Just out of curiosity, which es_systems.cfg do you edit?

I always copy the original to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation and edit it there where it won't get reverted when running updates. Only thing is it also has to be manually updated/synced if additional systems are added as they won't show on the system list if not listed in the customized es_systems.cfg (I'll normally copy-paste from the original file to the copy once the new system is installed). It just saves some of the headache for the future if you have a custom system order you like and don't want to redo it after updating.

IT WORKED! Sorry for wasting your time bro. :(

Thank you @seanbeedelicious ! Works like a charm.

@greddy1

there is no indication of wheter it is in either mode anywhere, you will only see when configuring the joystick that the direction will show as either an axis or pov switch.

the mode switch is on the encoder and you will need to connect a physical button to switch between them, however it will remember which mode it is set to after a shutdown.

Yup, that did it. Those changes were made and I ran the updater and things look closer to how they used to.

Thanks.

@mitu I'm using 4.4. I have not reset config from the retroarch gui. Controls work fine in the retroarch menu as well. This problem has had me stumped for awhile.

@mitu said in Build module of lr-yabause needs some lovin':

I had a PR ready, but forgot to submit it - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2831.

Ha! That's what I'm confused about :) I'd a look at the repo a few hours ago and thought "damn old, doesn't compile, fix needed", but now it's pull'ed and up to date. Thanks for that. But I loved waking you up :)

@Razak said in Start retropie and start with the same game:

But, the aspect ratio is wrong and I'm unable to disable the auto-run function.

Depending on your emulator, you might have to configure that first, by running the ROM from Emulationstation and configuring the video aspect/pixel stretching in the emulator.

F4 on the keyboard is not halting the function. Is there another way to get back to the emulationstation configuration menu?

F4 only works in Emulationstation. While you're in an emulator, it depends on the emulator - if you have a gamepad try Select + Start or Esc if you're on a keyboard.
Open a new topic with these issues and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu Gotcha. My apologies.

@Erdrick said in Unable to Configure Controller:

My hunch is since I configured it for a keyboard and nothing else, he needs a keyboard to select input configuration and it should work from there.

If you configured a keyboard as controller in ES, I think the initial controller configuration screen would not show

If that's the case - and he gets the normal ES system carousel - then he'll not be able to configure the controller on 1st boot. He would, indeed, need a keyboard.

@Staple_nutz I am using pi zero w. That is why Adafruit build is pigrrl zero

That was the bit I was missing. Never seen a "core_options_path =" line before. Thanks :)

@WarC0zes said in Super-basic Retropie Setup Script question:

This tutorial worked for me : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch

On the Big List Of Things I Don't Want To Do, typing stuff like this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get -y autoclean

...is really, really high up.

(I mean, I don't even know WHERE I'm supposed to type that. I manage my Pi through the WinSCP interface and no command typing is ever required.)

You have to use PuTTY to type the commands.
Launch PuTTY, enter the raspberry ip and connect.
User: pi
Password: raspberry
From there you connect to the raspberry in ssh and can type the commands.
It takes a little time to update jessie at strech.

@shredman I had some problems installing FS-UAE but got it working great in the end. I had to install directly in debian first from https://fs-uae.net/download#debian then follow the instructions in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18409/guide-getting-emulationstation-to-work-with-fs-uae
Good luck

That is exactly the way I have done it. Did look at scripting it but a lot of my Arcade overlays need to move the screen to fit correctly with diferent aspect ratios
