@BuZz

thanx a lot for helping out and your patience with me.
Will have a good look at https://github.com/retropie, before i bother you again. :-)

thanx !!

@pajordan said in configure keyboard inputs in retroarch.cfg:

i'll try to read more instructions before posting. didn't see the instructions from the "download" page but i see now it's all in the "documentation" section (installing retropie - first installation). thanks!

The instructions couldn't be much bigger on the download page - in bold

If you are installing RetroPie for the first time please follow the OFFICIAL Installation Guide

@SeTzX yes and yes.

using pi1 images worked great, thanks again guys!

@chris121580 @rocketman1969 @capnjazz Emulators do not show up on retropie unless there are roms present. No roms ship with retropie. You must also install the other emulators....

Where are my emulators? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#emulationstation

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#installing-additional-emulators--ports

But more importantly:
Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

All instructions are provided.

@tcmt which config ? Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (You don't provide which version of retropie for example which affects the path im about to give you)

you should edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/YOURJOYPAD.cfg and change the hotkey button in there.

@sheathes 0.07b5??? You mean 0.37b5? Have you changed the es "parse gamelists only" setting? Have you restarted Emulationstation after adding roms?

I have tried them in all ROM folders in Retropie.

Why would you do this? Put them in these folders depending on your romset.

Read this guide carefully:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2859/how-to-use-mame-with-retropie-help-guide

It will clarify everything.

@DanielMedStortD I believe so. Just have to try it and see :p

@dankcushions thanks so much! You nailed it- works properly now!!

@Daverey1956 Did you ever figure this out? I am getting the same problem and can't find the setting or coding. When I scroll in menu the brightness changes. Then when I enter a game the brightness will dim like its sleeping from inactivity. It doesn't shut off but it dims.

@Mihto 3rd party / clone ps3 controller support is limited at best - i would recommend getting another controller tbh (which you have done).

@grale22 And remember that Arcade is a folder, not an emulator so it's important to know which emulator you are dealing with. See here:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/MAME#arcade

@ibonihs I have Elevation Action Returns working in AdvMAME v0.94 though I wouldn't say the audio is 100%. Not sure which version you are using but the audio is poor in v1.4.

I have NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat running without issue in mame4all-pi.

MK2 and Shinobi run fine in lr-Mame2003. It's worth re-testing with the right PSU.

@herb_fargus I'll give the workarounds a try tomorrow but I don't think it's the same issue. I don't get any errors or crashes or anything - i can even switch to another console. It's literally that startx just leads to a blank black screen.

@callitkarma67 can you please paste here the output of these commands (I wanna make you able to use the joystick-selection tool on the raspi you use the network share ROMs):
ls -ld /opt/retropie $HOME/RetroPie/retropiemenu
ls -l $HOME/RetroPie
