@DTEAM That's not how you run X11 programs. Please install and then start a normal desktop session that will allow in turn to run the desired (X11 based) programs from it.

@sith-lord-goz You may try with Skyscraper 3.16 which adds --query="id=<IGDB-id>". However, the Game filename must have some similarity with the IGDB Game Title. Also the GameBase DB import from the SpeccyMania GameBase may come in handy.

[edit: original text removed, due to:] Sorry, I had mistaken wine with dosbox ...

@MinivanDriver i noticed a ; too many in front of the name [USB Gamepad] in the /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini file

Example:

; InputAutoCfg.ini for Mupen64Plus SDL Input plugin

; USB gamepad_START
[USB gamepad]
[SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
Mempak switch =
Rumblepak switch =
R Trig = button(5)

Etc.

Remove it, and try it. I think it prevents the .ini to start the pad configuration

@sleve_mcdichael NEVERMIND IT WORKED, THANK YOU, I booted the pi up into emulation station first and then I tried playing the game and it immediately worked, thank you(don't know if I still need the XINIT but we'll see

Maybe will have a solution to this issue soon : https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/5780#issuecomment-2706320103

@sugarfree
Thanks!

Thanks for reporting it and for the merge request. It has been fixed!

Cheers

@andrewjrpi123 said in Can't sucesfully pair PS4 Dualshock controller with retropie.:

@mitu Incidentally, running/closing retroarch doesn't seem to create a runcommand.log

It's created only when you start a game, not when you start RetroArch from the RetroPie system. Start a game first, with verbose logging as explained in the docs, get the 'unconfigured message', then exit the game (press Esc on the keyboard) and you can then find the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file.

@enjoilogic14 said in No gamepad detected - total newbie:

I am able to get to the configuration menu but it does not detect my wired controller nor my wired keyboard in any of the USB ports

Are the keyboard/controller not detected even if they are directly connected to the Pi's USB ports ? Are you using a proper power supply for the Pi ? Does it work if you connect just the keyboard directly to the Pi ?

This is an upstream issue, which has a pending PR to fix it. Once the PR is merged, the core will build again, though I'd recommend using the standalone emulator instead of the libretro core.

Dear@mitu
I needed it cause of the clang compiler use.
Without it failed on first trial.
Also didn't compile without the clang compiler that's why Ive used/added it.

Just some extra info. I have the log(s) that failed if of interest.

Have a nice weekend

@mitu That worked thank you!

@mitu I decided to use the Ace with my PS4 instead (it works fine right out of the box on PS4) and use the dualshock controllers for retropie. However, even those I can't successfully pair with retropie. I will write a separate post.

@mitu I will try that, Thank you
