Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and use the correct category for your posts (I moved your post to the support category, where it belongs).

The hotkeys are automatically added when you configure your controller in EmulationStation, can you post the controller profile generated for your controller, located in /opt/retropie/configs/retroarch-joypads ? There should be a .cfg file named after your controller, which contain the configuration of the controller.

@tmxretro the "h" key is the default retroarch "reset content" hotkey and, without a controller connected, there is no default "enable hotkey" hotkey configured, so all the other ones (like "reset content") will work on their own, with just a single keypress.

You can toggle game focus with the "game focus (toggle)" hotkey (default: scroll_lock, configurable from settings > input > hotkeys > game focus (toggle)). While game focus is enabled, other hotkeys (including "exit emulator") will not function, passing full keyboard control to the loaded core; press scroll_lock again to disable game focus and return hotkey functionality.

The first Need For speed is available and for PlayStation 1 with tha name Road & Track Presents - The Need for Speed .

Yes, it's possible to start the games, but they will run very poorly. If you want to play Wii games, try another system - preferably a PC (x86).

@Garavar It's not just numbers but F1, F2, F3... button's in the keyboard. So, try to press thus keys when you want to edit copy files.

@thirdeyedynamo said in How to Change directories in Retropie Rasbian:

pi@retropie:~$ cd/RetroPie/roms

You are missing a space and you are already in the directory :
/home/pi
So we go from there, try :
pi@retropie:~$ cd RetroPie/roms

The long version would be :
pi@retropie:~$ cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

You can also do :
pi@retropie:~$ cd ~/RetroPie/roms
(~/ is the home path /home/pi if the user is pi)

You can use the tab key you know to fill it up, something like this :
cd Ret<tab>/ro<tab>

There are a lot of linux bash tutorials on the internet.
My advice is to read these.

@mitu I transferred the file but the error is still here, then i moved it to the BIOS folder and the error message didn't appear again. But the games don't run, they are stuck to the boot screen (hand with the blue disk). Thanks for your time !! I will change my roms with .lha or i will use amiberry.

Ok, i tested with .lha and everything is working fine. Maybe the first roms wasn't so good.

Thanks all. Will keep on trucking.

@Lolonois

Okay. See that's where my lack of knowledge becomes difficult/dangerous. I was hoping that the GPIO logic would be able to simply read the difference between two pins being (shorted?) or not and code would have been able to just assign parameters to what to control in each circumstance without all the extra circuitry.

Hmmm.

@roslof thank you so much for providing the binary (once again) and for reporting back re tmnt2! Much much appreciated. I'll keep on testing and reopen the thread should I find anything else.

@windg That worked! Thanks for the answer and be well!

@jernserval said in More 8BitDo Pro 2 Controller Weirdness:

It appears there's some kind of naming conflict or problem when the 8BitDo tries to "spoof" as an XBox One controller?

No, I don't think so - conflicting with what ?

Xpadneo refers to configuration in it's docs, but there was no configuration after RetroPie-Setup install?

Configuration is optional, RetroPie doesn't add any, but you can add it if you'd like.

hid_xpadneo: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. - Does this mean I need to install the headers referenced in the xpadneo documentation? Was it not autoinstalled by RetroPie-Setup?

No, that means what it says - it's an out-of-tree module, external to the Linux kernel. Kernel headers are already installed, otherwise the module wouldn't have compiled.

Now in retroarch its saying "8BitDo Controller not configured" why would it say explicitly "not configured"?

Because it's not configured ? This means there was not configuration profile found for the controller.

What is the way forward to get the most reliable experience with X-Input across retroarch and other emulators?

You haven't mentioned the issues you have with other emulators, but for RetroArch it's enough to configure the controller in EmulationStation in order to generate the configuration for it.

@kounabi22 I'm not sure if this refers to all binaries or just the one referenced in the topic, but @BuZz said in lr-mame binary not updating?:

(...) I have also paused building binaries currently and will resume soon.

I don't know what the "regular" binary update schedule is like or anything but I see on the emulationstation-dev package (from the master branch) which receives regular updates on GitHub, the latest binary is from 21 Jul 2023, over a month ago. I feel like in the past these have been updated within days of the code change, but maybe that's not always the case? Or maybe they really did mean all binaries had paused, and "will resume soon" hasn't happened yet.

@windg I looked the link you posted and I found the info I was looking for. I have another question now. When I try to load the second disk to a game, I get the error "Failed to append the disk". Do I have to open another topic?

@windg

I figured this out after wrangling with my Samsung firmware.

It was trying to automatically adjust the signal.

In my TV settings it had to be set to PCM. In ES default / hdmi / hdmi worked.

It happened after a background firmware update I wasn’t informed of, hence my utter confusion over cause.

The clue was that after switching to my Apple TV, same issue presented itself.

I take back any suggestion it was a Retropie issue.

The thing that really sent me for a loop was that for some reason the emulation station navigation clicks immediately became inaudible (but if you crank the volume you can hear it).

This is still an issue, and I’m unsure if it’s TV/ Retropie or combination of issues. The games, playback of snaps, etc. still sound fine / normal volume.

It is not significant enough to take much of my attention.

@Addison Scummvm have a cloud option to upload the saves automaticaly but i haven't test it yet. You will find this if you open Scummvm gui : Global Options >> Cloud.

@ecto Thanks so much. This helps me a load to incorporate into my build.

Thanks a lot and I really appreciate the time.
