I posted a help article that explains how to edit a config file to force Ir-mame2003 MAME games that use trackball or dial control to use the mouse (in this case, Arcade-X Trackball) that may help:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15819/setup-retroarch-to-redirect-mame-games-that-use-dial-and-trackball-to-arcade-x-tankstick-trackball

Also, I would avoid using a USB hub. I used a third party case that used a USB hub and trackball on the X-Arcade would not work. When I plugged the mouse into its own USB port on the Raspberry Pi, the Arcade-X trackball started to work. I still had to edit the config file to get other games to work that used a dial controller (Tempest, Kickman, etc.), but pluggin the Arcade-X Trackball USB cable into a USB hub and not directly into a USB port on the Raspberry Pi caused issued.

Wire up the mode button . I am using the CY-822B USB led-joystick controller board . The mode button switches the joystick to point of view hat ( on my pc ) . For some reason this works ? acts like a d-pad mabey ? . So far switching the mode button back and forth even in game works . I was about to give up on Daphne too.

@shay90 gpsp needs a bios. Without it nothing will run

@thadoctor72 yeah most controllers that only have a dpad have an axis. No biggie there. The controller is probably just an absolute piece of junk.

@rak7145 said in RetroPie won't boot on Raspberry Pi 3:

I encountered an error numerous times that said Etcher couldn't locate the disk

I haven't had this happen myself though it's possible there's something up with your SD card/ SD card reader. There are lots of shady eBay SD sellers, I try and stick with reputable sources, if you have another microsd laying around might be worth trying and if for some reason it's etcher you can try win32diskimager instead to rule that out as well though I personally have never had issues with etcher.

If above fails also try diff HDMI if possible but I wouldn't necessarily go buying all sorts of new hardware until I've tried every software fix.

Had to free more than 9gb of space to compile it...lol

@nicky_s14

raspi2png is probably your best bet. Here's a link where it's been discussed previously in relation to RetroPie.

old post, but yes I have this same issue. sometimes it works but sometimes not. Did you figure it out?

@thermoking anyjoy same issue is it posible for keyboard nd mouse because i get the same problem witk keyboard only arrow keys work in game

@dover19 pretty much

@echdareez Just boot up the Pi,..when it's done press Start. Choose Game collection settings. Then go to Automatic game collections. Here you can enable Favorites. It's disabled by default.

I have managed to code backgrounds, system images etc, I just can get my head around the carousel editing. I have found some coding relating to carousel changes but when I add the text to the XML document it doesn't seem to do anything. Do I add it to the theme XML in each separate system or do I add it to the spare XML?? It may just be that I haven't entered the coding text correctly or I have put it in the wrong XML.

Would you mind sharing how you got the Harmony remote working with Kodi?

@numminzak You could always go ask "Rey".

Off topic warning: Could not find a way to PM you, hope it’s OK that I ask you here instead!

I have a 8Bitdo Arcade Stick, and have Bluetooth problems with it on Retropie. When pushing a direction and pressing a button, multiple presses are registered in Retropie. Just curious if yours is working fine, and if you know what firmware you have installed? Thanks!
