    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.

    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.

    @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!

    @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.

    If you turn on the cec function on your pi and put on Anynet+ (on Samsung tv's) with auto power on, you can see if the TV turns on when you power your pi.

    I have a picade and struggled for a while, I finally figured out that the first column of numbers is in fact reserved for keyboard inputs "used in the dapinput.ini file, but first I had to figure out what the buttons being pushed were by the picade controls itself. I ran into this website. For me this is the defaults because I knew it wasn't smart to change anything: https://github.com/pimoroni/Picade-Sketch/blob/master/Picade/Picade.ino After that though I knew I still needed to know what the numbers were I had to put in the first column, so I found this site. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=114365.0 Using both of those sites allowed me to finally be able to use my picade controller. I had to change numbers in the first column to match what I wanted to assign and which key I wanted to press. Be patient as I know it is frustrating, but this method does work. I can't speak for picade controllers that attatch as USB, but if they are detected as Keyboards in emulationstation, then I am sure this will help.

  • Diffrent controller map for select emulation?

    @mitu said in Diffrent controller map for select emulation?:

    @nathan1031982 Looks like a case of https://xkcd.com/979/ - what was the solution ?

    The original solution was provided by the reddit user delusion666. I modified it because he was using RetroPie 3 and I am running the latest version as of a week ago.

    I configured my controller in EmulationStation. It created a controller config file in:

    /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

    In my case, it was raphnet.net (S)NESAtari_USB.cfg

    Next, I created retroarch-joypads dir in the MegaDrive configs dir and copied the raphnet.net (S)NESAtari_USB.cfg to there:

    /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch-joypads/raphnet.net (S)NESAtari_USB.cfg

    Finally, for retroarch to see the file, you need to add or change this line in /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg :

    joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch-joypads/"

    I commented out the original line and then added a new line above it for backup/troubleshooting purposes so my file like like this at the line :

    joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch-joypads/"
    # Original line - joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/"

    I had to do that for the MegaDrive, Sega 32X, and Sega CD. I don't think you need to make the file three times, probaly just need to make sure the path is correct. However the map file is real small so I made one for each system.

    Finally, I re-configured the SNES controller so if I load up anything with the SNES controller, it's mapped out correctly.
    Now if I load up either the MegaDrive, 32X, or Sega CD RetroArch uses the controller map for the Sega controller.
    I was lucky as the buttons for the D-Pad, A, and B didn't change with the SNES mapping so the Sega controller works the exact same in EmulationStation.

    Good luck. If you still need help, just ask and I will try to assist.
