@barbudreadmon said in Standard step up for Fightsticks/ Arcade Controllers:

ndation for lr-fbalpha : set "modern" as device type in "Retroarch menu > Quick Menu > Controls" and use the following :
Y X R1 L1
B A R2 L2
Capcom games will work properly with this.

2003+ has three settings the compatible fba standard in controls (gamepad)

and 8 button (this is more friendly mapping for other cores again its personal choice which one you use)

6 button the (same as fba i think)

the classic is basically used for xbox/psx ect controllers

@victimrlsh said in MAME internal menu won't come up anymore:

responsive in lr-m

you really should updated from source there are fixes in mame2003 retropie isint on the lastest commit

Please read the following documentation.

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Mega-Drive-Genesis/#switching-emulation-station-to-the-genesis-logo

Problem solved.
What I did wrong? Probably because I created the folders and put the files before the emulator installation.
After format and start from zero, with emulators first, no more problems.
Thanks @mitu for your help and attention.

@1219chicho instructions to reset -> here

@mitu thank you. I did try changing sources with Steve's scraper, but I still get nothing.

I'll do the upgrade and see what happens.

@exarkuniv I'm pretty sure I wiped and started from scratch too.

@dudleydes I realized that I had disabled controller 2 and 3 and when enabling them mouse is now also enabled by default.

By default mine was set to;
CONTROLLER_MOUSE_1=mouse
CONTROLLER_MOUSE_2=joy2

The one on Amiberry github is set to;
CONTROLLER_MOUSE_1=joy1
CONTROLLER_MOUSE_2=joy2

I had to set Mouse to my joypad (wireless ps4 joypad) to my mouseport, and also declare to Amiberry that its a mouse.

@67120 said in mixing simultaneous keyboard and gamepad hotkeys possible?:

should i be adding this all to rc.local or is this supposed to go somewhere else?

You should only add a command to rc.local if you need a map to work at startup for Emulation Station.

testing a simple ui-buttonmap A=A \ line. and when i reboot i see "get_event_type(): unknown even type prefix A." what's up with that? using A=JS_[*] for some reason doesn't do that.

If you're looking to remap the controller buttons buttonmap should be used rather than ui-buttonmap. For key-mapping using ui-buttonmap, where the correct syntax would be ui-buttonmap A=KEY_A \

i get errors when i try A=A:A+X:1500 or A+B=A+X.

Using ui-buttonmap, here, it would be A=KEY_A:KEY_A+KEYX:1500 or A+B=KEY_A+KEY_X

i can use keyboard events such as --ui-buttonmap A=KEY_F1 or A=KEY_ENTER to make retropie see a different button being pressed, but it's always button 10 no matter what i set it to. so that's useless.

Using the key-map approach, would also require you map your emulator to expect keyboard input, rather than controller. I actually do this almost exclusively to avoid controller assignment issues. Most every emulator supports keyboard input.

then retroarch or in-game ignores any input from the controller.

Have you set the udev rule outlined at the very end of section 3a of the guide?

As said by @mitu , what you're asking is not possible the way you want it.
I'll just add that, taking into account what you're saying about your technical knowledge, using your laptop with retropie will be IMHO far more complicated than downloading and using an official retropie image for the raspberry pi.

@cyperghost Alas, I don't now how ES and its emulators will react to this on runtime. I didn't use it myself (yet), but researched it only because of this thread and a general interest for future use.

As for specific drivers, I don't have any experience in that either, but as long as they depend on the devices in /dev/input/, they should react to disabled devices there accordingly, I suppose.

@ekdor A RetroPie configured system does not need a login to work, it logs automatically the pi user and starts Emulationstation. What's your actual problem ?

@jaladhjin If your keyboard is not detected, you can use SSH to run the RetroPie-Setup script - log in and run

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

@montecore >Sounds like there's nothing that can be done

Well, you could manually recompile it from an earlier version to get back to where it was but as far as converting the savestates I'm not aware of any method

wow!thanks all you guys! I fixed this problem.i used those command：

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fonts-droid-fallback
sudo reboot

and i changed theme‘s font file to chinese font.

ps: If you rom file name not enghish,DO NOT use usbway to copy roms.Because the rom name will be like that：“？？？？”no matter what you do.

@mitu said in Is it possible to run MAME without keyboard?:

@mulder32 Which emulator are you using ? The Libretro based emulators have Hotkey + Start as exit combination (Select + Start) - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#hotkeys

I am using mame4all. I will try using the other one you mention and see what happens.

@sano Bingo!, just never saw the runtime error before. I went into raspi-config and set it to autologin to console and it boots normally into Retropie, thanks!

First, you should provide the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Second, you might have stumbled upon the news Sony driver behavior in newer kernels, where the rumble appears as a separate device and messes up the controller numbering. See this topic for a workaround.

@happydad I highly doubt the script copied any files - it runs only chmod and chown commands, no copying. You might have triggered the usbromdirs service which copies your ROMs from the USB to the SD card (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#usb-stick).
