@devin_205 Do you have an USB stick you can use for the transfer? Then use the USB method described in the link @isrnick gave you. It should be the easiest way if you have problems transferring roms over the network.

it says cant upload a psx rom

Please describe exactly what you did and give us the exact error message(s).

The SNES ones also allow for a mouse, I think you need to set it up in the controls tab though. I've used it for Mario Paint.

@pjft and to complete this ... I have collections that are named "RetroAchievements" and "RA - Battle Bugs". The Battle Bugs is for challenging games or for the Monthly Random Game introduced here (Currently Mario RPG).

These collections in combination with a small script Automated Switchable RetroAchievements make an automatic connect/disconnect to the RA server possible ;)

So you all see custom collections is a milestone in the ES development. Thank you pjft :D

Im an idiot lol on pc fceux it needs gamename.nes.ips on fceumm it only needs gamename.ips

So, I’ve really tried everything to make this thing work. Nothings working. Possible defective pi board. Luckily, they are letting me return it. I’m doing what I should have done in the first place. I’m upgrading to a pi 3 and scrapping the whole pi zero in an old nes cart. Hopefully this will work better. Fingers crossed!

So like I said the PS4 lets me move around in EmuStation just fine, no issues with buttons etc. If I launch Retroarch GUI, the PS4 can't move around in it at all. I have to restart the system to get out of it.

I got this response from the maintainer:

"We dont support analog sticks as buttons. Joy left right are default. And ps3 has two analogue sticks. Movement works differently in game and in menus.

Use a XBOX360 one or a NES USB.

New updated version will arise soon."

You want to rename the roms to remove region, or remove the roms that are not of your region ?
The first is basically not possible, because you can't have 2 files with the same name in the same directory :) You may batch rename them if you want, but can't simply remove the region.
The second options is also feasible, but we would need more informations.

Anyway, @BobHarris suggestion or scapping is the best way IMHO.

I think MGS uses all 8 buttons and yours has six right?

Edit : I looked at a picture and it seems you have enough buttons on there.

@mitu thanks for the tip! Its definitely useful info if there will be some problems with positioning image on screen, Ill save this video for later use.
Actually I found another solution for the problem:
before the game starts there is a grey info box, you can push some button and then enter a menu with additional setting. From there you can enter default video resolution submenu and play a little with setting that are stored there. I managed to fit image to the screen at 800x600 4:3 setting. It works with both psx and snes emulation. Maybe this info also would be usefull for someone.
Thank again and good luck!

@eljefe What exactly is not working ? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and give more details about your setup and your problem.

@icomeinpeace said in CASH FOR MAME:

@drewpie1895 -Thing is that once you pay someone to stick the right roms in a folder for you you are going to hit the problem and then what? pay someone again?

Well, it's the same approach I would take if my washing machine broke. So, I can understand people who have as little motivation to fix their computer problems alone as I have to fix my washing machine.

That said, @drewpie1895, don't you know anyone with enough tech affinity and helpfulness who could look into it without payment? In your other thread, it looks like it's only some minor issue for a person with at least medium tech skills.

@future-child said in Atari 800 setup is nightmarish:

It does however lack an entry for A800 in retropie but editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg will fix that

Only reason why it's missing is that no one ever confirmed a800 working and with what parameters.

Thanks for sharing your solution.

@alexxx I believe the Using joystick message is the joystick information SDL reports to DOSBox. For my PS3 controller, I get the following:

Using joystick Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller with 27 axes, 19 buttons and 0 hat(s)

I do also get the following message which confirms my joysticktype setting.

One joystick reported, initializing with 4axis

I have checked the dosbox-SVN.conf file and the 2axis setting allows support for two joysticks.

@rbaker Regarding Step 4, simply restarting EmulatiomStation will do the trick. No need to restart the whole system. At least in the last versions of RetroPie.

@barbudreadmon

WHAT A STAR YOU ARE!!!!!! It is now working, soooo happy and so thankful. Truly thank you so much!!!
