@dogeymon If you don't know how to edit a text file I'm sorry I don't have time to teach you. Try googling it or searching here. It's been explained many many many times.
I would suggest you delete the es_systems.cfg file in /home/pi/.emulationstation/and just use the default where systems automatically get added.
Someone has created a custom config file, If it wasn't you, who was it?

After much hair pulling and searching, I managed to find the solution to my issue. All of my ROMs except for Gunstar Heroes was a 0kb file. Once I replaced the empty files with good ones, they all played perfectly.

@mitu also it runs off a 5v 2.5amp usb and 32gb sd card sandisk

@koooowweeee Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

(Which you are asked to read and agree to on registration. You provided none of the information requested. You should use a topic title that summarises your problem - not "help a noob").

Please edit your post and use a sensible topic.

@rascas That's a bit crap - so you were going over the 1TB/month there, or they just didn't like the amount ? I'm sure in the past they didn't include a limit. Will switch to your repo thanks - if you need some space for package hosting I could provide some if bandwidth will be a problem at your current host.

Hey Poltro,

I just created the script to make things easier to install and setup Moonlight-Embedded. I have just updated this script today BTW to include a new menu based structure for an even easier solution. In regards to the controller mapping, this is now all stored in a txt file within the Moonlight program. It's called gamecontrollerdb.txt and contains the mapping for over 100 different gamepads. Here's what I could see in that file:

xwc,X360 Wireless Controller,a:b0,b:b1,back:b6,dpdown:b14,dpleft:b11,dpright:b12,dpup:b13,guide:b8,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b9,lefttrigger:a2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b10,righttrigger:a5,rightx:a3,righty:a4,start:b7,x:b2,y:b3,

AND

030000005e0400009102000007010000,X360 Wireless Controller,a:b0,b:b1,y:b3,x:b2,start:b7,guide:b8,back:b6,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:b13,dpleft:b11,dpdown:b14,dpright:b12,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,platform:Linux,

If Right Trigger is Start, try changing righttrigger:a5 to righttrigger:b7 and start:b7 to start:a5

Let me know if that fixes it here and also, let everyone know what model your controller is and the model of the receiver as that may offer some clues as to why your mapping is different :)

Latest Video is here btw :

Hi all.

I spent some time this morning coming up with a better approximation based on plain observation as there's little documentation here.

I submitted a PR for it, so hopefully this should be improved shortly.

If anyone wants to take a stab at testing it, and is comfortable with compiling code (or using @meleu's script to install test branches) this is my dev branch, based on 2.6.3.

https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/tree/OMX-Volume

You may also download a binary for the Pi 3 here:

https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/releases/download/0.1-OMX/emulationstation

Place it somewhere on your pi, exit the main ES, run chmod +x emulationstation and then ./emulationstation and see how it performs at the different volume levels, especially compared to VLC.

Would love to hear your impressions. Be mindful that different videos have different volumes, as well as different hardware systems (i.e. emulators), but hopefully this performs better.

Thanks.

It might be picking up some of the input from the SixAxis motion sensing or one of the touchpads. If a different configuration is used by the RetroPie for the same controller for USB and Bluetooth, you might just need to fix the Bluetooth's config. It might explain why it happens on one setup and not the other. Not really an expert, or even an owner of a PS4 controller, though.

I did try the Xarcade2Jstick driver, but wasn't happy with the results.
I did not follow the instructions at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/X-Arcade, but rather chose the driver from within RetroPie, if I remember correctly. I know I never did a sudo make or sudo make install.
Although the other method I followed was much more time consuming, I'm very happy with the results.
My retroarch.cfg never had any commented lines to begin with, so I'm not sure why it was different than what I found on GitHub. I used the 4.2 SD card image directly from RetroPie.

I have no idea why it chose to become read only, but the fact that it was, was the problem.

I endedup having to copy the image using a ubuntu VM and then unclicking 'readonly' in properties in windows (didn't show like that on the original) and then I could finally sudo chmod -R 777 TAPpreret2.img to make it not read only, and now pi shrink works on it.

Go to this website: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/add-reset-switch-raspberry-pi/
And look for this section: "Give Your Raspberry Pi A PC-Style Soft Reset Switch" It's about 1/3 of the way down the page. (the entire page has relavent info though)
The section I'm talking about has this video:

As long as you have a rev2 or newer Pi, you can add a simple reset switch that'll work how you want.

Minor soldering (adding a 2-pin header) involved. You can just solder the switch directly to the header if you need to.

Note, I've never actually done this myself.

@yussafm Good questions. Easy to try a few tests on your own, as not everyone is using it the way you propose. My advice is to avoid folders by letter, as Emulation Station lets you easily jump directly to letters, you can page up page down, and with recent enhancements, there are many ways to build your own custom game lists (and using that technique, you could add favorites, make lists by letter, etc.).

As for timing, I think you will have to do some of your own tests. There are factors like your SD card speed (or whatever you are using to store your ROMs). I would expect it to affect boot times somewhat, as the ROM lists are gathered, but you will have to try it and find out if it's acceptable for your needs. Maybe someone else will reply with their specific examples. My loads are very fast, but I only have a few hundred ROMs.

@tuki_cat IPAC is typically a keyboard interface. Modern versions can be setup using the WinIPAC utility to behave as a joystick controller, but most people use it as a keyboard device. Configured this way, all it is doing is sending keystrokes. Amiberry would have to be capable of receiving inputs via keyboard. If you can plug in a real USB keyboard for all of the inputs (direction and buttons) you should be able to use an IPAC.

Just put a folder called retropie-mount and a Roms folder. As long as those are there, it won’t copy anything. If you don’t have a Roms folder it will copy the roms folder from the sd to the usb memory.

@indvrkness Your post does not include all of the details from THIS POST which you are supposed to read and follow, and it doesn't look like you have read and followed the documentation that actually addresses using these controllers.

@linkreincarnate Then you need to do it on the Pi. Use raspi2png
