@commanderj Hi CommanderJ

You need to use a text editor that understands UNIX-style line breaks. Notepad doesn't and that's why it all appears on a single line for you.

I suggest Notepad++ which is free. When you edit a text file from your RPi it should say Unix (LF) at the bottom of the Notepad++ window.

Here's my full eduke32.cfg. Feel free to copy it and amend it to your liking.

@lostless @Newellj79 you are correct, but Mortal Kombat and just about everything else the 2 buttons at once either stops any directions from happening or stays with the first pressed direction. I think you guys are right i am downloading a fresh image now and hopefully i will be okay.

UPDATE: RESOLVED

I asked over on Reddit and got a response from a gent who really helped out with this suggestion:
"RetroPie" >
"RetroPie Setup" >
"Configuration / Tools" >
"805: configedit" >
"Configure basic libretro emulator options" > At this point, you can either:
"Configure default options for all libretro emulators" OR
"Configure configure additional options for [EMULATOR NAME HERE]" In both cases ... go to
"Choose joypad order" and set which ever connected gamepads as player 1-4

I assigned defaults to all systems, then went in and specifically assigned the PS controller to PSX as 1 through 4. Restarted. Loaded up Tony Hawk 2 and presto, everything works perfectly (with the exception of wonky button maps but that's easily resolved) Thanks everyone for your input, I think* I have it all figured out now :) Hopefully if someone has this issue in the future they can dig up this thread and the solution.

I mainly use the 2.1 ROM as it always opens with the draw bridge scene which seems logical and some other nice enhancements. Yeah the original was all over the place on what scene was coming next and of course the reverse scenes. The arcade always cranked it up to hard settings so split second timing was required. It definitely seemed like they incorporated a finite set of scenes for each "section" of the game.

If you have access to the HD version it looks much sharper than the box set and runs great on the Pi 3.

Dragon's Lair Enhancement ROMS

For people who know the original game very well, F2 is the gold standard. For 100% authentic gameplay, there is no substitute.

For people who want an 'improved' version of the original, DLE 1.1 is best. It adds the drawbridge scene, and eliminates many quirks and illogical moves and timing.

DLE 2.1 is the game as it should have been made to begin with. If you aren't very familiar with the original, this will provide the best play experience. OTOH, if you know the game well, and don't want to 're-learn' it, it will probably just frustrate you.

anyone have any idea here? thanks

@meleu thanks so much for making this script! I would be screwed without it! This should be added to the Retropie main builds! It's so useful!

@deveee should I unistall the version I already have before compiling it with STK 0.9.3?

Thank you so much for all your help I just changed the emulator it used and got a new rom and it worked.

@mitu 32gb

@mitu All sorted now thanks.

@pepijn123games No problem, glad you fixed it. Arcade ROMs are always tricky to get right.

@alturis it’s hit or miss. Most of the lr arcade emulators don’t run well. There are direct ports of fba and mame, but can be a tad difficult to configure them. Snes runs decently, but since the pi zero runs and older version of snes9x, you may notice some graphic glitches and sound effects that are off. Also there is some minor slowdown sometimes. Gba runs pretty well. Minor slowdown there. But genesis and lower run pretty much flawlessly.

Hi.. a little help pls. I hv placed some KOV 0.184 rom and pgm bios in the fba/rom folder. But it still won't start. I am running fba v0.2.97.42.
@meanliar Do u need to install & select any other fba/mame versions?
Thanks in advance.
