Sorry, I'm going to call time on this right here, right now. None of this has anything to do with RetroPie. Why are you even posting this here?

@alturis said in AdvMame Artwork: Missing something:

@jonnykesh Weird. The information I was reading about it seemed to suggest just the opposite. That the old format was .art and the new format was .lay

Yeah, you have it right, but wrong assumptions about which one AdvanceMAME requires. I tried to clarify that here, after @Meneer-Jansen's post.

@gamebennyboy said in Installed first time:

I've installed retropie first time on new raspberry pi 3 as there no emulators installed as how I add emulators on the menu? It my first time.

There are many default emulators that do come installed already.

But nothing will show up until you add game roms to your roms folder.

And no one will be able to tell you where to find the game roms. You will have to let google be your friend.

For arcade games you have to be careful about which roms you use as certain emulator versions are only compatible with certain roms built for them. But there is also a lot of crossover.

One thing that got me early on is that many game roms are dependant on having other game roms installed as well as they share the same files. But there are instructions on how to make is so that your roms have everything they need all in one too.

Ok, thanks for your answer. Then I have to use my old PS3 Controller

@kmetz7547 Glad to know you could solve :-)

@mitu +1 for you
That's the easiest solution indeed!
I always use this. It even works for annother RetroPie setup but not simultanous of course ;)

Which emu are you using for MAME/NeoGeo?

If you're using a libretro emu, you should be able to go into the RA menu (Hotkey+X by default), go to controls and there should be controls for User 1 Coin 1, User 2 Coin 2, etc.

Set them all to the same input, whichever input your coin controller is mapped to.

Do you have other buttons available on your USB joystick encoder? Maybe try setting it to another button instead of an axis?

@bubbypop666 Do you get sound using the standalone version of DOSBox?

Well I guess I got this figured out and on the way learned WHAT NOT TO DO lol.

Now to figure out this mausberry bit so I can get the switches to behave how I would like.....

Power = Power on and proper shutdown when powered on

Reset = when in emulation reset back to retropie gui/main screen, when at retropie main screen and reset is hit a proper reset is performed

Keep your eyes peeled for another noon post, because I've read a lot about these mausberry switches and am quite lost how to get the performance I would like.

I will make another thread for that tho as its completely off topic for this one.

@dankcushions said in SNES Retroarch config confusion:

@baviaannl no, it should still look like the example @mitu posted above.

/all/retroarch.cfg is always loaded - it is the 'global retroarch.cfg' file referred to in the example.

This is beginning to make a lot of sense, thanks for your help.

@greenhawk84 I fired up the Super Famicom and they say right around 60 fps. Things also don't seem as fast as I was remembering them last night. Unless anyone else says they've seen it, I'm going to chalk it up to me over analyzing things looking for bugs after I rebuilt that system or being really tired. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Dear Mulder

I also want to install retropie to a 4 player arcade machine with ipac 4 and for each player:

Joystick direction = 4 Buttons
Buttons = 6 buttons
Start = 1 Button
Select = 1 Button

Extra: Pause button, Credit button (only 1 or for all players)

Do you still have the retroarch.cfg file whicj I can use?

Well, I've half-answered my question. I somehow suspected CEC to be an issue, and lo, when I changed hdmi_ignore_cec_init to hdmi_ignore_cec, ES stalls on launch, spits out "lvl0: CECInput::mAdapter->Open failed", runs, and then works perfectly, so it's probably an issue with the libcec I'm using.

@unspacey To put it another way, by changing the "setting" as you describe it to use 2003, what you are doing is telling RetroPie which version of MAME you want to use. To succeed, the game you are launching must be a ROM from the version .78 set.

@dsstrainer That is correct.

@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.
