@zack06007 Welcome to this forum.

You should open your own topic for your problem rather than to "necro" a four-year-old thread. Retropie was updated a million times (figuratively 😉) since the last post here, so any solution from here could be outdated for a long time.

Additionally, in your new topic, you should give more information about your system like it's requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, and also show us the relevant part of your gamelist.xml in a code block like the one in @Riverstorm's post, as the tiniest details matter for such problems.

You want TWO collections, that's the hurdle.

If you wanted ONE... You could switch off "quick system select" in the ES menu and start ES on the collection. The person wouldn't necessarily see the systems unless they "backed out" of the collection. The system/collection wouldn't change with Left/Right. The person would be able to "back out" with a button though.

I wonder if there was some CFG hack that could make the wording of the systems "blank" and they'd be there, but the people wouldn't know that they could select them. To them it may look like ES is stopping in dead space. (In which case they'd most likely just keep moving left or right.) This is just me thinking out loud. Is this plausible Mitu?

The BIOS should work, but what's the error that you get when starting the game ?
Can you check the checksum of the file against the list of the ones listed here and see if it matches ?

In RetroPie, the NeoGeo system is separate, so you can copy the NeoGeo romset collection to the neogeo folder and the arcade only romset to arcade.
You can combine them if you want, but you might want to keep neogeo separate just in case you'd want a different configuration applied to it (see this post for an example of why you'd want that).

Thanks for the input everyone. I've got a handful of working games and I'm happy with that for now. I have far more on my Linux tower RetroPie build that is more fit for this kind of thing.

I have seen a thread about this on here gut it gives no explanation on how it was solved and is very old.

I think the solution was to mod the stick with an IPAC usb encoder.

So i bought some electronic switches and a custom usb keyboard encoder (ipac2), installed it in my atrox and ended up with a fully working xbox one and raspberry pi machine.

Can you try to test the controller with jstest, from the command line and see if the inputs are registered ? Exit EmulationStation and run from the terminal

jstest /dev/input/js0

You can exit the test by pressing Ctrl+C.

I will give that a try and get back to you thanks.

@BobbyJoe I was wondering if you could share your tweaks?

I followed the instructions in that link (I am using RetroPie 4.6 installed from the official image).

When I try and run a game it returns to the RetroPie screen. The log has the following error: "Unsupported bit depth".

I tried following the advice of @SpudsMcToole here, https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20471/what-the-heck-s-happened-to-advmess, but wasn't clear what lines he deleted from his .rc file to get the BBC Emulation working via advmess.

Any hints and tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

where do i put this pairing code?

I think it was one of the questions on the blog post from yesterday. It remains to be seen.

Q : How much higher are those peek currents?
A: Not vast, and of course DRAM current is only a small fraction of total loaded power consumption. But required a change nonetheless.

Apologies for digging up an old thread. Just wanted to know how you got the LT and RT buttons to work on the retropi as the xinput drivers etc aren't working on mine?

Thanks

​Solved. Bad VGA cable.

Saw someone reply and get banned here,

It was a spam bot - nothing to do with the content of the topic itself.

@YFZdude I’m also looking at the MAME2016.rmp file (I didn’t change anything in here) but it says

input_libretro_device_p1= “5”
input_libretro_device_p2= “1”
input_libretro_device_p3= “1”
input_libretro_device_p4= “1”
input_libretro_device_p5= “1”
input_player1_analog_dpad_mode = “1”
input_player1_btn_select = “-1”
input_player1_btn_up = “-1”

Is this correct considering select is usually an 8? It doesn’t make sense to me why the select and button up are the same?

Glad it's working for you.
I'm still learning some of this but just for reference, I think a "-1" would be the equivalent of saying that button is either disabled or undefined. All regular buttons probably should have a number with no sign (+ or -) associated with them. An analog function usually mentions an axis and those can have a negative sign for one direction and a positive sign for the other direction.

Had the same issue on Lubuntu 20.04, the symbolic link was missing for /usr/bin/python

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python
