@SpacedInvader yup. But for others who come searching for an answer i would alter the title from "ports not working properly" to "doom ports not working properly"

I could narrow the problem down a little bit. When the db9_GPIO_RPI driver is not loaded and i try to unload it, I get:

"modprobe: FATAL: Module db9_gpio_rpi is not in kernel"

that makes sense but I tried to avoid that with try/except. Seems it does not work. Any idea why?

I paired the original 1st gen Fire TV game controller and I was surprised it worked so good.

You can add more ports with a USB hub.

@rbaker Ok, thanks for the respons. The image is without ROMS but I get the point.

@lordluca said in Mame - missing game files only on pi?:

Why does some games don't work on Mame on Pi while working fine on Mame on PC?

Because there are many versions of mame. Each version of mame requires a very specific set of roms to function. Rom files are not universally compatible.

@LaneG22 to get es to pick up roms watch this

Yep that was it thank you.

@dquez
How did you "reset" everthing? I too was using tab to configure mame 2010. Trying to mess with player 2 in the tab menu, i changes all the n/a to "none" and now nothing works for player 2. Even binding my keys in retroarch on player 2 wont fix the prob. I think i have to reset the mame tab settings like you did.
Thanks

I found and fixed the problem. I hadn't paid attention to the fact that I hadn't put up and down and left and right on the same axis ( +1/-1 +0/-0 ). By simply swapping two of the switch cables on the sticks and remapping the inputs in retroarch I now have 4 directions + 4 proper diagonals on both sticks ( easily tested in 1943 for example )

Its a new sd card that works fine on my phone and pc. The image is written with win32diskimager should I maybe use different writing software?

I found the solution in: Audio issue with latest version of RetroPie.

For those who want to know, the solution was to add this to the config.txt file in /boot:

dtparam=audio=on

Sorry for wasting any time!

@lilbud said in ES issues:

disables the keyboard.

I don't know about the overall issue, but I think the keyboard one is that the terminal isn't echoing what you type on keyboard. Try to (blindly) enter the reset command to reset the terminal and maybe you'll get the keyboard working fine.

@AlexMurphy Ok. I think I figured out why. I tried transferring through the network and I'm getting an "exceeding a user disk quota" message. So I'm guessing my card is full, but I know there's no way I can be close to being maxed out. It will not let me expand the memory through retro pie due to running noobs. Is there another way to expand the size without having to reformat and lose everything?

@BuZz : You are right, the the sd card seems to be corrupted. I tried to format it and I got error meassages. So topic is done, thanks for your help :-)
