You don't want to use safe_mode for general use - forces lower resolution mode etc. hdmi_safe also enables hdmi_force_hotplug=1see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

@sinfolmatt Please use the official installation instructions

Note the part where it refers to downloading the correct image / number of raspberries shown on boot.

Hi Did you ever come right ?

i have this exact same problem right the way down to your Edit: where both axes read 0-32767

travis90x thanks so much.That solved the problem.I had the same problem using berryboot and retropie.
I can go inside the configuration now.

Since some recent kernel / drivers updates, some joysticks causes Kodi to crash, and others look like they get a button stuck. Others still work fine. If you are affected by this, you can disable the gamepad support in System -> System -> Input Devices until Kodi 17 comes out. It will have official joystick support, and hopefully all of this will be fixed.

Thanks to all :)

For now I'm stick to default ES version. Maybe in future the experimental branch would resolve all it problem.

I will mind the tip!

Thanks to all for responding me, thanks even to you I'm really near to finishing my project :)

[SOLVED] Thanks to all who replied. As per info the link posted by UDb23, the simplest solution was to move all the roms into the 'arcade' directory. That way, lr-fbalpha is selectable, alongside lr-mame2003. Brilliant!

@ezlikespie you haven't searched this site, read the instructions for mame or looked in the wiki. All information is provided. Your question has even been asked before on this forum many times. Here is one of many.....

Okay so, apparently I misunderstood the copying process... I thought I could just use the SAMBA Shares, but that didn't work... However, I have since used the USB Flash Drive option and now the games and emulators are showing up on the console.

So, problem solved!

@FlyingTomahawk

I was trying to not go wifi route. Setting up a couple for my buddies and didn't want to mess with it. Might have to try it though. Thanks.

Chex quest can be loaded as a pWAD. For the DEH use the -deh load command.

@aschwan this is a different issue (Their script is launching but they can't see it)

i use the dual shock analog triggers for pedals, the problem i have with dual shock is the dial is hard to map except as left-right buttons. Worked great with the positional sensor in the dual shock 4, but the driver for that sucked up over half of my cpu

It was the SD card. Apparently nothing was loaded on it....

@aspiringnobody No - please use the other topic. It's not useful to continue on a previous (old) thread.

@meleu Yes. That's what I was saying :-)
