@dankcushions, @toralux

Since playlists are required to have working Netplay Rooms, I posted a work-around that would apply here as well. I've been using it for a few months now and it's worked very well.

@toralux

Why is not the core-directory of RetroArch (in the RetroPie 4.2 distribution) pre-configured to point to /opt/retropie/libretrocores where the core-files are actually installed (instead of /home/pi/.config/retroarch/cores which is empty).

Pointing to /opt/retropie/libretrocores wouldn't really work either, as that directory just contains other directories that in-turn have the libretro cores. My work-around puts a symlink of the core you're launching in a temporary location and RetroArch is then pointed to that temporary location. This allows playlists to work, but still let's RetroPie handle RetroArch the way it was designed to.

@Dominus

Ha! Isn't that always the way it goes. I briefly looked for an iPhone equivalent, but didn't see anything off hand.

Hi
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

@schurch 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 (as agreed when registering)

non working internet connection? More information will be in the referenced logfile - you can put it on a pastebin site or so.

Great to hear that ;)
Have fun.

I recently got my hands on an image of Retropie that originally lived inside of an all in one setup

Support isn't offered to third party images here for a number of reasons. Your best bet is to either seek support from the person who put it together, reinstall a fresh image from this site, or read through the documentation for a solution.

Use python and it's native GPIO support :)
But thank you for the link... So Arduino programs can be ported to RPi.
You can usually use programms in the background to control switches even with ES running - because these programs are not "active" like in windows. They just wait for a trigger to act (=set interrupt)

@Jean I have used the Linux Joystick Mapper program in the past to map the mouse to an analog stick for use in DOS games. I have no experience with using it with the Joy Con controller so I don't know if it will even work. You may wish to check this video first before you proceed.

If you wish to use Linux Joystick Mapper, then I would first suggest reading the official documentation, config.pdf, available in the doc folder of the Linux Joystick Mapper source code download.

Then you can take a look at these threads to see how to implement the joymap binary:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2032/dosbox-mapping-mouse-to-ps3-analog-stick

Once you've read these, I would suggest creating a simple mapper file that enters letters and numbers on a command line.

@spruce_m00se no they just think that if they leave everything yo the users they will start <<stealing>> internet like cabel tv in old good times or at least this is what they said

Anyone who is looking for clearing the KODI cache could refer to the following article:

Hi - I wondered if you'd managed to solve this issue? I have just finished setting up my cabinet and have exactly the same problem - all player 2 buttons are registered fine, but it's as if both joysticks are one and the same thing so players 1/2 can't move independently of each other. It's driving me mad! Any help would be gratefully received!

retropie doesn't run on android. you probably want the retroarch/libretro forums: forums.libretro.com

still, it should be written on the bottom of the UI.
