I updated to 3.8 and my 8bitdo SNES30 controllers which I set up and used the UDEV file as shown above still worked. I, however, purchased an NES Pro pad and cannot get it to pair. I downgraded the firmware on it to 1.68, but it still does the same thing. When I try and pair it, it is detected and identified correctly. When I select it, and it asks for the security mode and I select EITHER one, it crashes the system and displays the text pictured below. Any ideas?

@jayfry I don't have a 2.8 screen but I do have a 3.5 tft from adafruit. I never tried it on a pi3 befor so I installed retropie 3.8 on it and was able to set up the screen using adafruit's guide. I would double check the /boot/config.txt for the correct HDMI settings. Fat-fingering something there can cause it not to display on the tft screen. Also about the Device Tree. It is set on by default as of January 2015. This link from raspberry pi forums will explain it. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=97314. Let me know if this helps.

That, I don't know. It sounds like you've been through a few version updates, so maybe something changed.

you could check the last modified times of the files with ls -l. Maybe one of the updates caused RGUI not to work anymore, and rolling back to using just one of these files will fix it. Maybe. you could compare the files to see what changed during the backup or what's different with the Sony-named vs. non-Sony-named files with diff file1 file2.

I would personally either edit both files or one at a time and see what works and what doesn't, or change the filenames one at a time to something non-.cfg to see which is being used. I haven't had to deal with redundant configs, so now's your chance to learn your system really well and be the new expert and help the next person down the line! :)

No automatic updates, you update through the RetroPie-Setup script.

I didn't predict a glitch of this magnitude would ever happen.

I think everyone has that moment when they learn why backups are so universally recommended. :) Best of luck out there! You'll be up and running again in no time.

@meleu

I have been using this http://github.com/meleu/Retropie-input-selection that you suggested to me, and in game my Wii U Pro controller is always is the first controller, it's great.

your Wii U controller is the first in RetroArch only. It's not the js0. My script only let you change the input_playerX_joypad_index (player1 for the first controller in RetroArch). It doesn't change the /dev/input/jsX order.

Although, if I have a wired controller and my wirreless controller connected - in the runcommand screen that appears just before a game loads, that lets you choose which emulator and video options - my Wii U Pro controller doesn't have any control there. I have to use the wired controller.

Does this mean js0 doesn't have priority until in game or how is the controller that has control on the runcommand screen chosen?

I took a look at runcommand.sh and found this line of code:

__joy2key_dev=$(ls -1 /dev/input/js* 2>/dev/null | head -n1)

This means that runcommand will take the first joystick found in /dev/input/, usually it's the js0. If you are using the wired controller for runcommand menu, I think it's your js0.

(Sorry if my answer is too technical. I hope it's clear. )

That's because you didn't start Emulation Station from a terminal as mentioned in my previous post.

As for what I'm going to dub as the "ghost controller" issue, I look forward to the results of your research.

One way or another, it looks like it's going to require a udev rule triggered when the controller is detected.

@Atari1050 The web page for Wave Share 5 in screen recommends a separate power supply. Here is a link to their page http://www.waveshare.com/5inch-hdmi-lcd.htm.

@RetroResolution said in Yellow/Gold warning square in the top right hand corner:

@RetroResolution really must get on with writing up the guide on enabling the retroarch real-time audio-video recording feature - been an enjoyable chat though, thanks.

I would hope to know more of how the governor works at some point. I have some new information to ponder. I had no idea it tries to maintain the fastest possible speed while staying under the thermal threshold once turbo kicks in and the thermal threshold is tripped. I always thought it just downclocked to 600 but being dynamic makes more sense and much better utilization. Thanks Retro, looking forward to the new guide. I appreciate you chatting and sharing the information. I learned something today and it's a Monday! ;)

no no, you are all correct. I should have stated that I understood this problem from the beginning, it slipped my mind to mention that, and it looked like I was simply asking for the "black&white" fix.

Ok, so thats all I wanted to know, theres actually no way to acomplish this. Im ok with keeping the 4:3 ratio... stretching just gives me motion sickness.

I did a new fresh installation with Retropie 3.6 and all problems were gone :-)

@jcx64 - If you're referring to my torrent it's not a self-compressed file; I redownloaded the gzipped original and created a new torrent with it...not sure why the hash doesn't match.

[edit] Just double-checked...did you spot that the official Retropie image is now at 3.8.1? My torrent is the 3.8 version; not sure what the hash is of that file as it's no longer available to download.
Good call mind you, file hashes are something I never check, but probably should when I'm supplying files to other people. If there did happen to be a virus in there I'd never even know about it (Mac/Linux user with no antivirus installed).

Yeah this doesn't work... Does anybody else have any idea? I really want this fix :(
its like my Keyboard doesn't work fullstop when in an emulator playing a game. the controller works perfectly.

PLEASE HELP! Begging you lol.

Welp, I've done all that and at this point i have literally no idea what could be wrong. for some reason retroarch just wont recognize my gpio inputs not matter what i map them to. I've even tried configuring a controller then going into the joypad config file and changing the inputs to the ones that my pcb buttons are. Still nothing! Its really weird honestly! wish this thing would WORK XP.
Thanks for your help so far though!

@Charco cheers!

@rmilyard ah, fair enough. Hope you are able to resolve the issue.

OK, I was worried that maybe reinstalling would remove all the daphne files I have already loaded on to my pi.

Thank you for the help.
