Only because you failed to read it.

Note RetroPie is built on top of Raspbian (a linux based OS for the Raspberry Pi) and as such the partition on the SD card is EXT4 (a linux filesystem) which is not visible on windows systems, so the card will show up as a smaller size than usual and you wont be able to see everything on the card, but it is all there. You will be able to access the filesystem over the network as described in the transferring roms section below.

@edmaul69 said in Mame4all-pi controller issue:

@skrapps914 what does your d-pad detect as on your snes controller? And the reason why it only detects the joystick is it automatically assigns axis 0 and axis 1 as the direction pad in the menu.

It's only detecting analog. No d-pad inputs at all on the PS3 type USB controller either.
Snes has no analog, so it won't detect anything but the shoulder buttons and abxy

Thanks I'll do that and post my results

Here it´s mine:

$ dmesg |grep Joystick

Hi, thanks for reply
Yea, that is the screen, I will test the frame rate, but anyways my problem seems to have no solution

@codinghorror said in Can you disable left/right to move between emulators on game select page?:

Is this a new/recent option in retropie?

It was a recent discovery for me too even though it's been around a while. It's a great feature if you have kids as they seem flip between emulator lists and get really confused about what's happening.

unbelivable strange - with the blue Adapter - it's received by today - the Controllers working quite well :) :(
Same setup and configuration .... I don't know what is wrong with the other adapter because with win7 it's working ...

Anyway - thanks to you all for all the efforts!

Thanks,
I am using a new fresh image - I did for both 3.8.1 (then updated to 4.0.*) and also same for 3.6
Also no PS3 controller installed (fresh image). I did try it originally with sixad installed then removed, wouldnt scan so I went with fresh build.

First thing i did was as you mentioned - add BT device via retropie script then udev button in script.
Nothing more and test > only works in ES.
Once that failed I moved onto next steps like changing config files etc. Always one change at a time.
Also did try udev to sdl.

I will try again this evening

SOLVED:
Fresh install 3.8.1
Updated retropie script
Start+R on controller (2.67)
Scan for BT
Connected
Added UDEV rule (in script)
Mapping hack = ON

All worked!

Thank you Floob.

Bump hoping someone else has experienced this and has some pointers. I have been busy moving and haven't had a chance to play with the pi all week.

This worked perfectly!! Thank you.

If you post up the info requested at: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first you'll likely get more responses and help.

As you are using 4.0 make sure you have installed the ColecoVision emulator:

@Arcuza The real fun starts when you enable "save config on exit". LOL!

Try to read this thread carefully:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2199/specific-retroarch-emulator-settings-are-being-over-written-after-i-quit-the-game

How come it's only the triggers/shoulders that didn't work...?

Also, why does it register as 6, 7, 8 and 9 and then not even register those lines to the cfg file?

Anyway, thanks guys, you are legends. Been trying to fix this for days

@caver01 awesome detailed answer.. thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! works again!!
