@markwkidd thanks.

Actually, it might be something that we can solve on our end on autoconfig.

Adding the following to the mapping on /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads solved it:

input_b_btn_label = "Cross (down)" input_y_btn_label = "Square (left)" input_select_btn_label = "Select" input_start_btn_label = "Start" input_up_btn_label = "D-Pad Up" input_down_btn_label = "D-Pad Down" input_left_btn_label = "D-Pad Left" input_right_btn_label = "D-Pad Right" input_a_btn_label = "Circle (right)" input_x_btn_label = "Triangle (up)" input_l_btn_label = "L1" input_r_btn_label = "R1" input_l2_btn_label = "L2" input_r2_btn_label = "R2" input_l3_btn_label = "L3" input_r3_btn_label = "R3" input_l_x_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Right" input_l_x_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Left" input_l_y_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Down" input_l_y_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Up" input_r_x_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Right" input_r_x_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Left" input_r_y_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Down" input_r_y_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Up" input_menu_toggle_btn_label = "Home"

There's a repository with lots of these mappings here, following @mitu 's thread (thank you!):

https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev

So it's probably something that's RetroPie-specific for now.

Thanks both.

@tikimojo You could try using this video:

Assuming of course your xbox controller is model 1708

@mitu Wow 30 hours... brutal!
Thx for all the info, that's all that i needed, i considered thread solved.

@mitu

thanks for the help i will give that a try

@BillyH said in RetroPie UI setting not saving:

So, where exactly would lie the flaw if my settings like game list preferences and viewing modes aren't saved?

You haven't answered to any of my previous questions, which would help diagnose why this would happen.

Might be because English is not my native language but there's nothing in your other post that I interpreted as being a question.

If you were asking me to check if I had actually run out of space, no, that is not the case.

Try PowerArchiver

https://filehippo.com/download_powerarchiver/

Its shareware, but free trial. Might be enough to do what you want

I used it years ago and it did exactly what I needed to convert archives. Just installed this version and it will easily convert ZIP to LHA and also as a batch queue

@sirhenrythe5th out of curiosity, how are you connecting your pi to the crt, and any considerations or experiences regarding games with different resolutions, etc. Does it all work out as in the old days, everything full screen, etc? Does pal and ntsc have an impact? I remember that ntsc games in my pal system would flicker.

Happy to move to a separate thread if more appropriate, apologies. Just curious.

ah.. saw the news on the main page here, thanks Buzz.
Mitu - I tried what you suggested, and it worked, only now it's also asking for VLC, and the latest image won't install properly using the manual method.

BUT, forcing the rapidjson-dev to install, and then going to re-install the emulator (not the dev) hung up on VLC, so I finally figured out which VLC to install, and everything worked. Thanks for the tips.

I started to think maybe I'd accidentally changed some obscure Retroarch setting without realizing what effect it was going to have.

So I decided to go back to square one. I reinstalled my disk image and started over. This time when I went in and edited /op/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfg it had the desired effect.

The only weird thing I ran into was that key b was set to "reset input" in retroarch when you used the hotkey. With hotkeys disabled that meant I couldn't press my b button. I could remap that input in the games, but I decided to just set "reset input" to nul.

I'm not sure what reset input does, but if I need it I can assign it another key.

@mitu Yes. I accidentally disabled it. Re-enabling it fixed it all.
Thank you so much :)

@Shinobi we don't support third party images. Please read the sticky topics as agreed when registering. (This may not technically be an Image but we can't advise on 3rd party add-ons and I know is there are motion blue images also).

@AlexanderN07 said in Retropie auf 3.5 inch kuman touchscreen nutzen:

Hallo, ich habe mir mir ein Raspberry Pi 3b+ geholt und wie gesagt dazu ein kuman 3.5 inch touchscreen ich wollte fragen ob jemand weiß wie man auf dem Touchscreen Retropie benutzen kann?

PS: ,, DANKE FÜHR EURE HILFE! "

As this is an English speaking forum, could you possibly post a translated version so that assistance can be offered please. I wouldn't want to trust Google translate.

@Jiryn It could be that those cards are not compatible with the pi3, or they could be bad. Stick them back in your pc and run a check disk on them.

Here is a list of compatible sd cards https://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

Your cards do not show up there but a 256 Samsung EVO PLUS is listed as compatible.

If you want more space you will likely need to consider using a usb mounted hdd or thumb drive.

Here is another relevant discussion https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/783/largest-size-micro-sd-card

@Brutilus Did you install any driver for your controllers ?
Update your RetroPie installation (if you haven't done already) and reset your controller configuration, then try to install the ps3driver and pair your PS3 controllers. Make sure they work, then report back if they haven't.
You can debug your input configuratio/detection by looking at the Emulationstation's log file - in ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt.

@TimZett I think @dankcushions posted a link (maybe in another topic) to the Shader docs in Retropie's documentation - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Shaders-and-Smoothing/.

I think this topic should be in "Help and Support" as I would have expected someone to have responded by now.

You might have a similar problem to the one here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18637/zero-delay-joystick-not-working-upleft-and-downright-directions-others-are-good-i-m-running-a-pi3-with-retropie/4

I did have a similar problem to you (but not the same) with zero delay arcade joysticks. I fixed it. Try this first. The 5 pin connector may be attached the wrong way around. I bought 4 or 5 similar joysticks about 3 years ago. The connector (ie the connector to the joystick) connects both ways but only one way is right. When I connected mine upside down, it would read only a couple of the directions until I turned it the other way around. I found back then there was no way of telling which way was right and which wrong - at least when connected to the Pi.

@Efriim

It did thanks :) and now that I’m in the right direction I know enough to play around with it till it works anyways

It can be done if you split out different romsets across different drives and arrange the mount points manually.
So for example I have roms on a 16gb usb and disc images (psx, segacd) and bios on a 64gb drive.
Here is an example of the set up in /etc/fstab:

LABEL=TOSHIBA16 /mnt/toshiba16 vfat defaults,noatime,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=15 0 0
/mnt/toshiba16/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms none bind,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=15 0 0
LABEL=TOSHIBA64 /mnt/toshiba64 ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=15 0 2
/mnt/toshiba64/roms/psx /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx none bind,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=15 0 0
/mnt/toshiba64/roms/segacd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/segacd none bind,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=15 0 0
/mnt/toshiba64/BIOS /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS none bind,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=15 0 0
