    @darksavior you can use the bluetooth controllers and the ps3 driver at the same time. Uninstall the ps3 driver, add all the bluetooth devices you want. Then reinstall the ps3 driver. All devices work. If you want to add more bt devices, remove the ps3 driver again, add more devices, then reinstall the ps3 driver. I have been using all my bluetooth and ps3 driver together for a couple years now with no issues at all. Including my 8-bitdo fc30 pro.

    @thomen It looks like it is an older, D-Link model DUB-H7 USB2.0 powered hub. You can see it in my project build thread (click link in my signature below). I have since cleaned up a bunch of USB cables using custom ones I built to length, but the shorter, white USB cable in the image is the power for my LEDs.

    This hub definitely pre-dates high-power charging for smartphones and tablets, so might be an out-moded design. It seems these days, folks would want their devices to continue to get power for charing even if their computer is OFF. I wonder if a modern version of this hub will work differently.

    Fixed! Turns out all I had to do was completely uninstall nxengine. I deleted the CaveStory folder just to be sure, then I reinstalled everything from source, re-transferred the files, and it works now!

    @lostless said in Problem with parenthesis on forums with ios 11:


    Test code

    That’s not working on iphone

    Your example here trying to use the fixed width font markdown for code will work fine on an iPhone if you use the right character. The apostrophe that you tried to use at the beginning of a line is actually being picked up as the start of a single, curly "smart" quotation ‘ which isn't the right character for code block markdown. You want to use the "backtick" which you can access using the tap-HOLD technique on the apostrophe. Press the key you are using now in the IOS keyboard, but HOLD for a moment until the character selection popup appears. Now, slide over to the one on the far left. This is the backtick :

    `

    but a lot of fonts have this character looking very much like the smart single curly quotation mark.

    @derebo it clearly says to start a new topic.

    Sounds like it could be internet connectivity issue. But can't say for sure.

    Try removing and reinstalling xpad from packages/drivers. Make sure you update the os packages.

    I've seen saturn emulators having slowdown on an intel core i3 @ 3.4Ghz, don't expect to run those on a raspberry pi 3, neither raspberry pi 4, neither raspberry pi 5, except perhaps if someone create a dynarec (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_recompilation if you don't know what i mean)

    If it was in fact a Sony card, it should be compatible. I have to admit, bought it off eBay, probably fake, like BuZz suggested.

    I run it directly via scripts:
    (Host Coop)
    #!/bin/bash
    /opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 -host 2 -warp 01 -skill 2 -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/mod.pk3
    or
    (Host Deathmatch)
    #!/bin/bash
    /opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 -host 2 -deathmatch......

    or
    (join)
    #!/bin/bash
    /opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/mod.pk3 -join 192.168.X.X

    OR
    Check out the Retropie Doom wiki, regarding mods. You could use the same commands above, but put it in /opt/retropie/configs/port/modname/emulators.cfg (that's what the "runcommand .sh " 0 Port" doom" stuff is pointing to...the "doom" directory in /opt/.../configs)

    Edit:
    (Here are some images I made to dress up the MP scripts)

    if it doesn't already boot to emulation station you can change this setting by loading up the raspi setup....

    cd RetroPie-Setup
    chmod +x retropie_setup.sh
    sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

    Then I think it's option 3 and then there should be a setting that says something like start emulationstation on boot

  • Best MAME version for Sega System 16 on Pi3?

    I have pretty much resorted to AdvanceMame for anything that the lr-MAME cores (mostly 2003) can't handle with a decent framerate and no glitches on the Pi3, and it's been surprisingly reliable.

    I can even run the Sega System 24 games on it without any slowdown or problems, namely Bonanza Bros, CrackDown and Gain Ground.

    Strongly recommend.

    @buzz do you have any info on the possibility of being able to run stella 5.0 or newer for the pi? There is a cool 2600 homebrew that requires at least 5.0.
