Is anyone running a Stretch version of Retropie with an Xbox 360 controller?

Can you tell me what your buttons map to, and if the player lights are working?

Ah ok, thanks and have a nice evening.

@piercedfreak ok, so now you try with negative numbers, i think. or larger positive numbers. it's measured in pixels

I had tried negative numbers with no effect, but just tried again, and they worked, and fixed it. Thanks.

@dudleydes thank you , i have solve the problem by download Rom Set of .uae .

@Tigry Thanks for sharing your solution, glad you found it.

Just for completeness, I was going to suggest that you could use @meleu's joystick-selection tool to see if your sticks are configured as player 1 +2. If not, that could've been the reason why they didn't work in RetroArch.

Have you tried to get into RA's input controls and select P3's controller as your 2nd controller ? Or add an override for the game (see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#custom-retroarch-override-examples) with

input_player1_joypad_index = 0 input_player3_joypad_index = 1

@mitu jajaja!! Yeah, between a messed up menu and non centered menu I prefer the not centered one that is redeable. Thanks.

I will edit the autostart file and see what happens when I connect it back to an HD screen (so I can prevent any surprises if I ever take the Pi to a friends house)

I won't make the username change, but I have enabled the ability for users to change their usernames. If it's abused though it will be disabled. Note changing the username may make older discussions a little odd as quoted username in replies won't be changed.

This is my workaround:-

my /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh:-

python ~/MFRC522-python/rfidlaunch.py &
emulationstation

my rfidlaunch.py contains:
subprocess.call("/home/pi/nesmario.sh &" , shell=True)
when a corresponding RFID card is detected

this nesmario.sh
contains :
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS nes '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Super Mario Bros..zip'
emulationstation

this means my RFID script runs all the time, when the RFID card is detected in emulationstation it kills emulationstation, runs the rom as user pi and when the rom has quit relaunches emulationstation.

Thanks for all your help everybody

Sorry for reviving an old topic, but installing these drivers https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo worked for me. One thing to keep of note is when configuring the controller to make sure it matches what it says here for a Logitech Controller https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Logitech-Controller/#l2r2-top-triggers that L2 and R2 need to be +. After that select, and every other button, worked fine for me.

@sl89 the repo moved a few years ago so maybe you installed before that.

@retromikey6 we don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones with Roms included. Please remove the link to the image.

You can customize your key/button bindings as you like - globally, per-system or per-game. Look into the RetroArch controller configuration docs.

Okay so update!
At long last I figured out the issue... Hallelujah!
I opened up the hardware and looked hard at the xin mo encoder. I had a diagram to reference where the connections need to be beforehand in case.
I then simply unplugged the 2nd player side's 4 pin (up, down, left, right) connector and turned it around and plugged it right in and BAM! All of the configurations read right and the controls were as they should be!
Hopefully this can help anyone who was at a loss like I was. It seems when all software issues fail... Check the physical connections to verify. 😂👍

@chubsta It's definitely the images causing an issue, especially if you have a lot of games. All of my Pi Zeros have this issue and I no longer use the videos. If you try another theme or change the UI theme settings to BASIC (I believe) you should see it become very responsive. The Zero is a minimalist board when it comes to resources but it functions extremely well for all of the systems I run on it.

Try running

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

at the prompt or through SSH and then update all packages and see if that puts it back.

@larsks I don't use mame4all, so I can't say for sure about the axis, hopefully someone else will be able to.

What might help is binding the arrow keys to input control in mame4all. Technically, if your up/down/left/right is bound to dpad in emulation station, it should also translate dpad input to arrow keys. This is how you are able to navigate the menus like retropie-setup with a controller. You might need to run joy2key by hand before launching mame4all. Not sure.

@brewskii said in Yet another controller issue...:

Quick question though, is one game pad "dominant"?

Sort of - Player1 is the only one that's allowed to use the RetroArch menu and the hotkeys (including the Start + Select to exit the game).
