    Well, starting off the ps3driver is pretty good and if you want the default Hotkey(PS_BTN)+Start then this won't be a problem;

    However if you want to assign custom hotkeys to retroarch, if you do this with the controller plugged in, it will assign the button number manually and these will differ than if you connect wirelessly with the ps3 controller. You can always press start on a retroarch option to reset it to its default(auto) value, where it will find the start and hotkey buttons automatically and not reference an arbitrary button number from its disconnected duality.

    There is a solution to this without transcribing the root configurations to bend the systemdaemons to your will.

    In the RetroPie management package drivers there is an alternative, the sixaxis helper driver. Installing this will uninstall the ps3controller driver and replace it. The arbitrated button numbers for wireless and connected will be as one and you can configure input mappings peacefully.

    @George-Spiggott said in Script to Mirror SD Card to USB Stick?:

    Currently RetroPie automatically copies files (roms and configs) from a USB stick to the Pi. Is it possible to disable this process so that it happens on command rather than automatically?

    Yes, disable the usbmount service and the synchronization will not happen automatically.

    Also is it possible to reverse the process so that the USB stick can be used to mirror the contents of the Pi, or at least select folders from it, either automatically or ideally on command?

    Yes, it's possible, but there's no provision in the RetroPie scripts for this kind of scenario.

    When you want to keep your ROMs on an external drive, you create a retropie-mount folder on it and RetroPie would sync the ROMs from the SDCard to the disc, then it will mount the disc so you can use it.

    If dont' want to use the external disc for the ROMs, but just synch to it, then you'll have to create a script to do it. Both synchronization methods (USB to card and vice-versa) use the rsync command, you can easily create 2 scripts to do this synchronization and add them under the retropiemenu system so you can call them directly from Emulationstation.

    @sohailoo Thanks for the info.

    For metadata, you will need to install Selph's scraper from the setup script. Once done, then exit ES and run the following command from the terminal or a SSH session:

    cd RetroPie/roms/psx /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -img_format=png -image_dir="./boxart" -image_path="./boxart" -download_images=false -image_suffix="" -marquee_dir="./wheel" -marquee_path="./wheel" -download_marquees=false -marquee_suffix="" -video_dir="./snap" -video_path="./snap" -download_videos=false -video_suffix=""

    The above is an example for creating a gamelist XML for Playstation (PSX). For the other systems, the working directory needs to be changed with a command such as cd ../snes/ before running the scraper.

    For arcade roms, remember to include the -mame parameter in the scraper command.

    Glad that you got it fixed, but please, in the future:

    Add all of the information that is requested in the link @mitu gave you. It helps potential helpers to help you. You only added part of it in your first post. edit: It's better to post a new post to add the information, so that anyone following this thread will be noticed automatically. New posts trigger forum notifications, editing posts does not. (I only noticed the added information after I wrote the first version of my reply.) If you got it fixed by yourself, it would be nice to tell us how exactly you fixed it, so that others with the same problem can find a possible solution here. Edit your first post and add [Solved] before the title, so that it's clear that this thread is solved.

    Thanks, have fun with Retropie.

    @2fst4u To be fair, this is the most common problem when dealing with a Pi Zero - the hub. Glad you got it working.

    @quicksilver said in File permissions through FTP:

    @LaneG22 If you are attempting to modify those files over an FTP program then you will need to enable remote root access.

    sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

    Find the line

    #PermitRootLogin without-password

    and change to

    PermitRootLogin yes

    Make sure to set your root password as well if you havent already done so. You should now be able to login remotely as user root.

    Thank you

    @Clyde Could be event 0, the code itself uses just the SDL slot, so whatever SDL picks up as slot X will be picked up. There are multiple event emitting files for a single joystick (JS and evt, the code states it uses js), but thankfully SDL isolates that so that you dont have to deal with this yourself.

    I did not change the general registration logic itself, the heavy lifting towards the inputs is done via sdl. All I have done is to remove the hardcoded zero to something which can be customized via a command line option, a really harmless and small fix for an annoyance which is 8 years old.

    As for the original developer, I could not pull off what he did, not my area of expertise, its just that there must have been some serious personal reasons not to finish the last 0.005% of the work when he already went as far as he did.
    Nevertheless, this annoyance now to some degree is fixed (I´d rather prefer to have some kind of device pattern filter instead of a number, but atm I lack time to implement such a thing)
    I just fixed the number scheme for my personal needs.

    @Furluge yeah i was the reason that raphael learned about the issue which affected a crap ton of controllers. Then he so awesomely found the bug in linux and created the fix for it. But yeah its been fixed for a long ole time. 😊

    @hansolo77 You can place a file named sshto boot directory. This will enable ssh, too. I hope that ssh is enabled by default on next release ;)
