Wow clones huh , i had no idea .... its nice to know now

and it truly makes me think .. and want to stick to the original parent Version

Thank you for the info ... it helps alot

Can you turn the power to them on and off in a software loop?

@mitu said in Dosbox Mapper : Question:

dosbox-sdl2

Thank you Mitu . I just deleted the xboxdrv and everything that made it working ...

my gamepad seems to work on the game now

i truly appreciate the help

Okay, thanks - it could be possible, that I did a setting in RPi setup script by mistake. I played around with that - and maybe did not put it back later. This is a real good advice for my performance issue - thanks

gpu_mem will be fixed, too. Thanks

Edit: Oh holy man! This was the point. I thought it's only a booster for my slow graphics - but it fixed the installation issue! After that modification, I also got the possibility to install RetroArch by binaries (which was not shown before). Now the installation works. Thanks a lot.

Wow - that was quick.
Thanks a lot - I will try this first and add the infos in the new post.
(I was searching the specs while you answered...)

@Rascas the issue is max_framebuffers=2 on retropie. It should be max_framebuffers=1 when using a single display. This resolved my issue.
Tried all different cables, monitor inputs, monitor outputs, rebuilding libcec. only solution was max_framebuffers=1.

Thread here shows it should be set to match your displays. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=245789

I'll accept maybe it's an oddity with my display, but since making that change i've been unable to reproduce it.

Think the corruption was perhaps bad luck... but I've seen a few reports of recent kernel/raspbian updates causing this.

That was generated by the system, I only changed it after which fixed it.

Thanks again everyone

@SgtJimmyRustles said in Usbromservice changed all the rom folders to root permissions:

Errors when I try a sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi

chown: changing ownership of '/home/pi/RetroPie': Operation not permitted

Just a little explanation for this: FAT32 (vfat in Linux) is a Windows file system that doesn't support Linux file permissions and ownerships. Those are determined by the mount options (here: uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022) and are immutable by commands like chmod or chown. Thus, the above error message ist normal behaviour for a vfat mount.

Without any error info/message, it's difficult to guess what's wrong.
Can you post the contents of the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file, after you've started a game ?

@Rion I would've liked video evidence, but o well. I don't see it.

@cmdcolin Select is mapped by default to 'Coin Insert' in arcade emulators. Without it, you wouldn't be able to start a game.

@ReadyPlayaWon

Good News :) , i actully found my answer

thank you for all the help you have provided

@mitu Awesome thank you, apologies for that oversight. Was able to get it going. You have a good weekend!

I'm having the same problem but one wireless redgear x-box gamepad is working fine and I'have configured all but my another gamepad which is detected but I cannot configure any buttons(wired redgear- x-box(in retropie game it is says x-box) but in windows it says ps3)... and I'm getting errors installing ps3 driver..
Any help will be appreciated!
