Hotkeys work only on the controller that's player 1 (P1), if your Bluetooth controllers is the 1st one detected - hence P1 - then the subsequent/other controllers will be P2/P3 and their hotkey enable button is disabled.

@ByteThis Fruitbox sounds cool m8! I’ll have a look into that. I’m running Hyperpie … it’s not the smoothest but an overclock helped with that a bit 👍 Found Fruitbox: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=188723

Without any indication about your setup (Pi model, RaspiOS/RetroPie version) and the actual error message(s) you get when trying to install, there's little we can do to help you. Also, phrasing.

@mitu
I ended up having to do a full re-install of Mint Mate 22 for other reasons. This is my third install in the past 2 weeks and I hope I do not need to do so again.

Let it be known that even after a fresh full-reinstall of Mint Mate 22, the same lack of joypad recognition continues. I have to access the setup through terminal via the sudo command in order to make it work. Otherwise, accessing the setup through the Retropie OS itself does not enable joypad function in Mint Mate 22. I did not have this issue with Mint Mate 20.

@rasp_renegade According to (upstream) stellas own docs there is a "left" and "right" player.

@WeeFlats Sure, update Retropie and the included packages and then try the ScummVM core again.

Here with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Drastic, all games run without issue. I am running the latest version of RetroPie, 4.8.9. If you can update your system.

@abj Thanks. This fixed the audio for me.
On my unsupported pi5 setup, switching to the Pegasus frontend killed the audio, and switching back to ES was not fixing it.

Yes Configuration / tools is there, but I don't see the reset option.

Closest I can find in there is "configedit"

Edit my bad, re read the post and somehow missed the "emulationstation"

As I am still in mock up testing...

I thought why not just try... worst case it fails and I have to get a new encoder.

So I have taken out the good old soldering iron and moved the J1 jumper from next to R2 as it came delivered and moved it next to R1 Using same middle contact.

Now when plugging into the USB it boots up with the Green light "on" being in digital mode, the mode switch if desired still lets me change state.

I made a video comparing the encoders one left as delivered starting analogue with red led, and one modified by relocating the jumper (before modifying the 2nd one).

You can ask the vendor for support, using the current RetroPie image. Another option is to check whether a current RaspiOS (Bookworm) supports the screen and works better to make the LCD primary, a current release means you can ask for help in the RPI forums. Using the current RaspiOS you can use a manual installation of RetroPie, which is still in beta for this OS release, but should work for most things.

There's no separate bsnes-mercury package in RetroPIe, just regular bsnes.

find it...thx

@gare You can get RetroArch to run in verbose mode by choosing to launch with verbose logging. Seems like an issue with the audio - perhaps PulseAudio/Pipewire gets stuck ? Does it happen also with standalone emulators (i.e. Mupen64plus or PPSSPP) ?

@TPR Nice to hear it, 1080p should be fine for most TVs today, but there are still those with max. at 1280x720 (HD Ready) and other display types (e.g. computer monitors) may be a totally different story (That's why it would be nice if the PI5 could also switch cmdlines by edid :/ )

Just wondering if anyone else had run into this.

Yes, I did. The solution at the time was to disable git compression, hence my reply.

In order to better diagnose your issue, please fill out the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu said in Emulationstation Controller Button Mapping Question...:

Try re-installing it.

That fixed it. Thank you.

If you have Enter as hotkey_enable for the keyboard, then pressing Enter + F1 should open the menu with the keyboard.

@barbudreadmon Solved! Awesome thank you. Disabled antialiasing and set vector to lowest available 640x480. Close to perfect audio, you can just hear the choppyness coming back when there's lots/peak of activity on screen.
