Yes, other games are fine. I am quite sure it's a bug and proposing a fix here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/592

@Foxsec said in Joystick Conflicts:

I was writing down every step and making a code box for everything that came up and I tried that rmmod that Mitu suggested and i checked the quirks file after and it worked!

Both set of joysticks and buttons are now configured

Thanks so much for your help guys, really really appreciate it :)

thats wierd, for me it would not work with modprobe and i remember reading somewhere that it was supposedly blocked, but whatever.

atleast it works for you now.

Hi, this also happens to me. No problems with Pi 3B+, but I just got a new Pi Zero W, and freezes all the time with RetroPie.

I've tried this versions:

Retropie 4.5.1 -> when it freezes I stil can do F5 in Web Manager and see the temperature, or sometines reboot with Putty if I already had one session opened. And one of those times, Putty threw this when it froze:

RetroPie 4.5 -> Also freezes randomly.

RetroPie 4.4 -> Also freezes, but exits EmulationStation and shows "Segmentation Fault". I have and screenshot if you need it.
And Putty threw this:

RetroPie 4.3 -> Also freezes

NOOBS_v2_8_2 -> Raspbian Ok, update everything..., until I install RetroPie manually, then it freezes right away!

I have to try Recalbox...

It's OK I found how to have the Kempston Joystick at the start of Fuse :) you have to add the following line

input_libretro_device_p1 = "513"

to file /opt/retropie/configs/all/zxspectrum/retroarch.cfg

Just a quick bit of advise this should be set in quick menu->options the option names can and do change there is no reason to edit any files

I found a solution here in the later comments:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7843/boxart-screenshot-display-same-time/3

I had to add <marquee>./marquees/, <image>./images/ AND <video>./videos/ on each gamelist (duplicated multiples via regex) even though there's no video folder.

The presence of the video field enables for a marquee to be loaded instead, when <showSnapshotNoVideo> is set to true.

Check if your repositories don't have any conflicts - I'd remove any 3rd party repos then re-try the installation.

@respite If you don't like the GUI, then on the same page there's an explanation on how to override the controls for a certain system - MD/Genesis in your case - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#example-per-system-control-override-retroarchcfg. The file you need to edit is the retroarch.cfg in your /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive folder.

I took everything apart and cleaned all the contacts on the wires, it now seems to work ok, thanks for the help guys

OK, may have solved this, Button B is now working and have swapped over A and B so A is fire, B is bomb for instance by going into the Core remap options.

If this is indeed now working, can someone just point me in the right direction for which options to change in the core remap so that my C and D are the same as C and D on a neogeo control panel?

solved
the problem was on a corrupt file: INDY.RLE
I had a file with CRC32 1dea93b3, while the correct one is f6fd2362

Try maybe the Batocera forum ? This is the RetroPie - different project, same goals - and things are a bit different to configure.
What exactly are you trying to run under Dosbox and how are you trying to make it work ?

this might need a quirk fix. Can you post pictures clear ones of player one and two wiring for buttons and joystick

@theguru , thanks. My advmame files look like that as well. For some reason the trackball coming off the IPAC2 control board is always the default P1 gun cursor control. No matter what I set in the advmame file. I'm going to fool with it a little more tonight.

As for FCEUMM, that makes sense. I backed up my image today so maybe I will update to 1.7.6 and see what happens. It's always fun breaking stuff.

Did you read Validating, Rebuilding, and Filtering ROM Collections? If not, it could help you understand the basics and some specifics about building a romset. The article uses a MAME romset for example, but you can use most if not all of the tools mentioned there also for console romsets.

I use RomCenter with full no-intro romsets (i.e. with all regions in them) and Parent-Clone XML no-intro dats to build a regional mix of my liking. RomCenter can priorize the regions, e.g. use the US version of a game if available. If it's not, use the Japanese version, then the Australian, than the European and so on.

In the end, I connected a mouse to play Arkanoid in lr-mame2003, and it worked from the off. Xbox 360 controller just too baggy and too huge a deadzone to make it playable. Thanks for advice though.
