@goobatroopa Thanks so much!

You can connect a second display only over the GPIO - something similar to this setup should get your 2 independent displays - one for normal gaming via HDMI and a 2nd one over the connected over SPI (GPIO pins).
The 2nd display can be used for showing the images (via fbi) or even videos (via omxplayer).

@mitu
Okay, I know that now.
It seems like it would tell you something different than ask for user if the repository was missing or deleted.

@saccublenda Ive found switching between discs was an issue when select-x to retroarch menu When using bin. and .cue roms. Try using just .iso roms for mutli disk games like night trap and ground zero texas. Worked for me

Does anyone know if there is there any resolution to getting ALL of the buttons on this controller to work in ES? I'm disappointed that all of the buttons cannot be used. Originally I was attempting the macOS pairing and nothing would work (I read somewhere this is the best setting for retroarch. Cannot cite my current source because I forgot).

After two weeks of trial and error, I'm happier after reading this thread that I can use the Windows setting, but I often use the trigger buttons for load and save states (the shoulders are for ff and rewind). So full functionality is reduced for me.

@Zore I don't see any errors in the log file. Can you also post the contents of ~/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg ? Check the permissions on that file also, if your user is able to write to it.

Thank you for the reply.

My issue turned out to be very simple in the end. When programming the buttons as you mention, I actually just wasn't holding them down long enough for them to register. Ugh... Oh well ;-) Thank you again for the support. Learning as I go...

So in the end I did end up making the gamelist myself. The good thing is that the game and the thumbnail are the same file for Pico-8 games :)

@cyrusxvi Yes - just follow the docs and use the sixaxis helper for the P3 controllers.

Am i an allen? I just connect my two MortalKombat-Tournament-Sticks and they work like a charm? Even without caring about drivers, the did not even exist the first time i used them.
Talking about the PS3-versions of these great sticks.
On the other site the PS3 Version of my NeoGeoStick 2+ and the MadCatz SF4 Tournament Stick for the PS3 dont work with my Pi Setup at all.

@markwkidd thanks

my bad, I did some mistake in following https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/9aswsl/how_to_separate_up_2_controllers_off_1_port/ which has solved my problem

@BJRetro
I'd say yes the source is acquired from the main libretro.git repository and only compiled against rpi flags.

I wouldn't know if these updates are used on rpi, it uses opengl but I know it is not gl4.

There are input controls for lightguns in retroarch. I don't know how much is really needed just to get PSX to take light into its core.

problem is mame2010 isint done properly. It only maps the retropad to mame default keys. There is nothing you can do with it as is. I think a a few of these lr-cores are half done and abandoned. I have put pull requests in to fix the input up but no dice so far. Until its fixed use another lr-mame like 2003/2003+ series or advanced mame.

The issue is here

https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/issues/119

proper fix pull request is here
https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/pull/125

alternative fix for the hack job that was done that maps your retropads is here supports 4 players pull request is here

https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/compare/master...grant2258:map_retropad_to_mame_default_keyboard_settings

only one can be used but if you want to use the 2010 you will need one of them dont waste your time trying to get it working

@mitu sure bro, again thank you very much

@mitu
Shame :\

@jamietuley
Skyscraper is the one that I use for finding videos. I think I get videos from screenskraper.fr they aren't always the best videos, first 30 seconds of gameplay but they show the intro screen and are mostly uniform.
The only alternative that I know of is acquiring videos from https://emumovies.com/ and it requires an account, I found they have a sync download utility for adding them to your existing setup and I have not used this.

Here are some infos for mame's emulators and romsets, some of it should be discarded or modified most all of them cover a range, and I find the latest 0.208 works with lr-mame2010 but sometimes not advmame[3.9]

Advmame 0.94 MAME 0.94 Advmame 1.4 MAME 0.106 Advmame [3.9] MAME 0.106 - ??? MAME4ALL MAME 0.37b5 - ??? lr-mame2000 MAME 0.37b5 lr-mame2003 MAME 0.78 lr-mame2010 MAME 0.139 (under experimental packages) [build failure - ran out of memory] lr-mame2003plus MAME 0.78 - MAME 0.188 lr-mame2015 MAME 0.160 lr-mame2016 MAME 0.174 lr-mame MAME 0.208

They increment by decimal values, 0.208 is greater than 0.78. The lr-mame emulators on experimental all failed to compile, I think this has to do with running out of memory, I don't know if there is a solution, they probably don't perform well anyhow, and I think the others have been enhanced and modified for extended rom support and pi compatibility.

@Cricket628 always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules of a new forum.

But now you know, and knowing is half the battle. You need help with anything else feel free to ask.
