@joes944 said in fsck retropie 3.7:

does Retropie 3.7 automatically do a file check on startup?

yes it does.

your other option is to upgrade the stick's board to the newest revision. x-arcade.com has an upgrade board (in the x-adapters section, the usb upgrade) that no longer requires the numlock to work (uses the arrow keys instead of the numberpad keys). I had to upgrade my solo stick (oldest one didn't support usb) and that was one of the new features that I also got with it. It also doesn't require you to press the program button twice to enable a custom codeset (another nice feature)

Thanks alot for the guide, after a few tries I got it to work. Before I continue, do the files automatically go into your list? I set my folder to be /usbstorage2 instead of just /usbstorage.

Do I have to do anything to make the file appear? Like make a system folder.

Also, if I wanted everything to be in the same place, what would I create? (directory, etc.)

Thank You.

Would it be possible to install a program to intercept the input from the USB Controller and convert it into key presses? I did something very similar to this with Adafruit's PiGame but this converted GPIO inputs...

@deusxm use the configuration editor or runcommand menu for per system config. See wiki

thanks greatly, that fixed it.

@BuZz thank you! I'll try tonight!
Let see what happens!

@senkun Ha. Thanks. Mind you any combination of them makes total sense anyway... As long as you read the wiki top to bottom.

In addition to the above if I do run the ushid quirks fix. I can get it to recognize as two controls in emulation station and also running jstest.

However in that scenario the second joy stick just doesnt work in Retroarch to set it.

I have the same problem with SNES30 controller.
Select+L won't trigger load state, but L+Select does it.
For some reason every other hetkeys work in reverse order. For example B+Select will trigger reset.

Is this an issue with retropie/retroarch or the controller?

Fixed. Reinstalled and all is well.

Please make sure to let the person responsible for the dentist office practice know that they will be legally liable for any piracy of game software used on your RetroPie installation so that they don't suddenly get surprised if they get thousands of dollars of fines and software audits. Happened to a company I know who had their own playable MAME machine.

Sorry, forgot the xboxdrv file...

How many Controllers? (support up to 4 Controllers)

CONTROLLER_NUM=4

case $CONTROLLER_NUM in
1) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button"
;;
2) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button --next-contro$
;;
3) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button --next-contro$
;;
4) CONTROLLER="-i 0 -l 2 --trigger-as-button --dpad-as-button --next-contro$
;;
*) CONTROLLER="incorrect amount of controller specified"
;;

LXDE is installable on any version of retropie - it's just been added to the menus to make it easier without having to drop to command prompt.

Hey thanks for the reply

Sorry this is the first time i have really played with the PI (only had it 2 weeks) I cannot find that directory :(

If i map a drive to the PI i can see \configs\all\emulationstation with the following files in
es_input.cfg
es_input.cfg.bak
es_input.cfg.save
es_log.txt
es_settings.cfg
es_temporaryinput.cfg

and in \configs\megadrive i see
content_history.lpl
dgenrc
emulators.cfg
retroarch.cfg
retroarch.cfg.rp-dist

By the looks of it there must have been an update done because now the only directories i actually see are now
BIOS
Configs
Roms
Splashscreens

Cut it up, scrape off two traces, wire em up, test it and see, if it works no point wasting any money. Should be an easy solder job as there are large solder points already provided, you just need to scrape some soldermask off for the ground, and don't forget to scrape off copper to separate those buttons on the dpad side (shown as white lines). G'luck.
