Another thing to make sure of is that the controller firmware is up to date.

http://support.8bitdo.com/

8bitdo has gone through many iterations of their controller software. I didn't use the 8bitdo hack but was able to connect the controller normally to a Pi Zero W using normal Bluetooth methods.

@dankcushions I've personally never had any issues with canakit chargers but I also don't overclock

@exonerated I have that the majority of the times I have my PS3 controller plugged in via USB. It stays stuck in a never ending black screen restart loop - both at startup and on exit.

If it's the same thing, I find that unplugging it usually helps.

@necrym hi.

First of all, take no offense here. If you indeed developed something and wanted to share, thank you for the effort and contributing!

Don't take offense if someone doesn't want to download a pre-compiled binary without source code from such a source. It may be with your best intention but in this day and age better safe than sorry, really.

As @herb_fargus and others said, there are other ways to share software that people are more comfortable with. Just that.

As for the ROMs and such, while the idea and argument sound reasonable at first, truth is they run inside an emulator, which in turn are for the most part open source. As such, unless there's a clear backdoor in each of those, ready to be exploited, for the most part running those ROMs will not result in any harm. Worst case scenario the emulator will crash.

Now if you'd be taking about running a pre-compiled emulator from one such website, the same concerns would apply.

Hope that helps.

I'm wondering if I might have better luck with v16 of Kodi. Is there a way to downgrade?

Thanks for the great suggestion, I wasn't aware it was on top of Raspbian Lite. Now that I know that, it doesn't make sense for me to have two versions of Raspbian!
Cheers for the speedy responses.

@griffon I hear you. Others have reported similar or related issues, and I have a similar problem on my TV as well, whereby sometimes the audio won't play until I change channels and then come back to the HDMI input on my Toshiba LCD TV.

Clumsy HDMI handshake implementations is my best guess.

Power supply?

Thanks, I tried that & it seems to have worked.

@blitzgreig You need to start by posting the information requested in this post:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

No idea what hardware you are running, what software etc.....

Just for confirmation, I tried Starfox 2 Zipped on 'lr-snes9x2010' and it ran fine (tiny bit of sound stutter here and there). Maybe you had some dodgy compression on your Zip file.

@modiggity are you using emulation station or attract mode?

Anybody got any answers for this yet?

@buzz Updated setup script and vice from binary; xvic now launched correctly with specific parameters. Also edited emulators.cfg for expanded as suggested.

Runcommand.log is here.
It shows some errors, probably just minor as cartridges seem to work perfectly.

Thanks for the fix ! Really appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I've got this sorted out now. It's set up pretty close to how the N64 layout was. I changed the rumblepak switch to requiring a hotkey to be activated. Current setup is below.

DPad R = "button(13)"
DPad L = "button(14)"
DPad D = "button(16)"
DPad U = "button(15)"
Start = "button(9)"
Z Trig = "button(6)"
B Button = "button(1)"
A Button = "button(0)"
C Button R = "axis(2+)"
C Button L = "axis(2-)"
C Button D = "axis(3+)"
C Button U = "axis(3-)"
R Trig = "button(5)"
L Trig = "button(4)"
Mempak switch = "button(11)"
Rumblepak switch = "“J0B8/B12”"

Analog axis configuration mappings

X Axis = "axis(0-,0+)"
Y Axis = "axis(1-,1+)"
Joy Mapping Stop = "J0B8/B9"

@telengard Not unless you enable "Parse gamelists only" and then you need a gamelist for everything (anything not in the gamelist won't show up).

Damn, I read the whole thing but didn't check the "important links".
Thanks a lot @EctoOne, I was completely lost.
I will check with another font.
