@bdk said in Retropie 4.4 Controller Issues - Xin-Mo & Multiple Controllers:

Hello All,

I am having a heck of time trying to keep my controller configs set on Retropie 4.4. I have a bar-top arcade that has two Xin-Mo controllers. Each Joystick has
6 buttons
1 joystick
player 1(start)
Coin (select)
exit
menu
mode
play

In Retropie 4.3 this all worked great. This button configuration worked for all emulators I have atari , dreamcast, nin, sega, arcade etc...

What is happening now is the controller will work for a few correctly meaning I can move up and down get into games and out of the emulators. At some point it just stops working and I can not get out of the emulators. I can still move up and down and buttons to get into emulators seem to work but they fail to get me out of emulator.
Another thing I noticed it seems as soon as I plug in my Logitech Gamepad F310 that just works right out of the box with everything it starts to mess up the arcade sticks. It seems I can only have 2 joysticks configured.

I have tried a lot of the stuff people have said to do on forums. This is what I have done.

Add this line to cmdline.txt "usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040" Used multiple - Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade.cfg & Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg Configured my own Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade.cfg & Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg I am currently evaluating this posting. I am concerned to do any of this since this is an old article and we are on Stretch now.

Is anyone else having issues like this? Have you been able to get past them?

Thanks in advance!

Update 5/14/2018 - I finally had a chance to really look at this issue and the problem looks like it has to do with RetroArch not saving Userbinds 3-5 . I can save the configs for the 1st two input binds but nothing after that. So I am looking into why I can not save bind 3 on.

***Update 5/17/2018 - Now Working
Boy this has been tricky but I learned a lot about Retropie trying to figure this out. A little silver lining. I think I got it fixed. This is what I did.

At some point I must of updated my OS that removed the line in the cmdline.txt on the root of the SD card- usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040.
I re-added the line
Wipped out emulation station information from the cli cmd line gui tool
Rebooted
Reconfigured joysticks and they worked.
Back up image
Then started loading all my packages
I checked here and there still worked
This is where I think it broke. I updated the retropie and the base OS and when rebooted my arcade joystick 2 was #1 and emulation station recofig would not work and hot keys did not work.
Went into Retro Arch and noticed a few things.
I thought I lost the cmdline.txt line that I mentioned in the begging but I did not, it was still there. The file did update though because I know I had another configuration in there that is no longer in that file but that was not what broke my controller. I did the following.

I went to RetroArch configuration.

Menu Toggle Gamepad combo was set to "start-Select" which I had it to none before. - I changed it back to "none" Save Configuration on exit was not set to yes it was now set to NO - I set it back to "Yes" My inputs where all messed up. Joystick 2 was 1 and GPIO was 1 and 3. I set Joystick 1 to 1 and save config, Set Joystick 2 to 2 saved and then set GPIO to 3. as a side note my keyboard worked even though it did not show up as a controller. I saved and rebooted and everything now seems to be working. I can get into games and my hot keys are working.

I am doing a backup now. Once it is done I plan to make sure Keyboard is configured and my Logitech F3 joypad is working. Since this is an Arcade cabinet I am more concerned about Xin-Mo.

@classicgmr said in USB controller:

@ecks Sweet. :) Glad it worked out!

Well i would recommend that controller only if you plan on buying a Pi for a family member or friend lol.

@mitu I have had it plugged in for a while and it wont connect still. Also i have tried using f4 to ext but it wont work so what should i do.

@mitu I did add the line myself, I just mean is there a way to get the file through WinSCP so I can post it on here? I tried looking through my computer connected to it on that but I couldn't find it. I couldn't find the folder it was in.

Well, I cant delete this anymore, but my Pi works again. Dont know why, but hey. Appreciated.

@mitu

Hey thanks. it worked. appreciate for the help :)

Ok, thank you @barrymossel

@ectoone said in Es Theme - Questions:

Simple answer, you can't do it.
Videos are not supported on system view, and most elements can only be used once.

Thanks for the tip

Ok I did that command and I got used 5.4GB(10%) with 51GB available. So I guess I just misread the File Manager.

What prompted me to misread the File Manager I suppose would be when I was scraping games and got a disk full or something else(forget what now) error message. However, I SSH'd into the Pi during the Scrape operation and perhaps that caused that error message and made me paranoid.

@blackshadow said in NDS on raspberry pi 2:

erent emulator as drastic gets stuck in the background after exit that and any games using mics wont launch i tihnk a zelda game is included in that aswell
so yeah pi 2 or 3 doesnt really matter for drastic just

Yes, my intention is just to make a portable console. I'll investigate more about the zelda game. Zelda is a must, I hope it works :)

@mitu Thank you for your response. However, I had already checked the documentation and didn't find the options I was looking for. They weren't in the config file either. I could disable the blur for everything, but I only want to disable it for 2D textures. And the other option, regarding the black margins, was nowhere to be found either.

@Fruitybit Nevermind, it works. The Button was just simply broken. Got another one, works like a charm

@mitu I have it disabled, but it freezes too seconds after a game is launched, all I need is a way to auto update runcommand core on any startup.

@bobharris Hi. first, I updated to 4.4 and played around with retroarch shader options. Now, I use crt-pi or waterfall shader with megadrive emulator and I'm satisfied with it. I tried setup a retroarch hotkey [SELECT + DPAD up / down] with my PS3 Dualshock Controller for shader next and shader prev option but it doesnt work. Does anyone know the right hotswitch entry for retroarch.conf

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive $ grep input_shader_next *
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next = "m"
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next_btn = "0"
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next_axis = "nul"
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next_mbtn = "nul"

Hello, sorry to reply to a very old topic, but I've finally found a nice 1080p scanlines config fro VICE.

Enable CRT emulation

set the following color controls

gamma 3000 tint 1000 saturation 1310 contrast 1210 brightness 1000

set the following CRT emulation config

scanline shade 730 blur 500 oddline phase 1240 oddline offset 840

Enjoy, but please be aware that without overclocking your Pi3 you will not get 50FPS with CRT emulation turned on

@pyr0cide Just leave the exports on the server

/volume1/roms 192.168.1.*(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash)

And make sure you use the proper case when referring to the share name, i.e. not mixing upper-case with lower-case

mount -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.1.6:/volume1/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms
