My guess, the gamepad is being read as port 3, which often won't do anything in most games since they're 1 or 2-player. What you can do about this:

Open a game, and then open the RetroArch quick menu with P1 Select + X. Go to quick menu > controls > port 3 controls > mapped port change from "3" to "1". Close the menu with Select + X again and test your gamepad. If it works for P1 control, open up the menu one more time with Select + X and save a core remap file. You will have to repeat this once for each core/system.

Waht can i do ??

As the printed error hints - do you have the RetroPie-Setup folder in /home/pi ? How did you install RetroPie ? Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

RetroPie doesn't boot into the Vice emulator by default, did you modify the auto-start sequence ?

I have software/some games, how do I load/run my games on the Pi400 C64??

You can copy the game files (floppy/cassete images) in the c64 rom folder and you can then load them from the Vice menu. Normally, if you start in the EmulationStation front-end, they would be listed and you can just start each one from the list with vice/lr-vice.

Do I put all my games onto a Flash drive and plug that into the Pi400?
Or do I put them on the SD card?

@digriz Thanks for the tip! You're right, the instructions were slightly vague for the different pairing options. My nephew is super patient so I know it's not really going to bother him. For me, I KNOW it could be better! LOL

Hi.
I followed this tutorial's steps and managed to get my BT speaker working.
The problem was that after reboot, the speaker failed to connect.
After searching the web for a while, I ran across this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/334386/how-to-set-up-automatic-connection-of-bluetooth-headset
Please see the proposed solution.
Best regards, Luís

@donkeykongcab Yep that was the prob bud . All sorted now and thanks

@dankcushions Sorry, I missed putting it into my post. It is a Rasperry pi 4. @Addison changing the resolution in the display settings seems to have fixed it. Looks like my pis didn't like the TVs resolution. I am guessing it was 4K. It also cleared up all menu lag and the picture just looks better. You guys are all brilliant. Cheers.

I seem to have fixed this somehow, though I'm not sure what exactly solved the issue

@dankcushions hiya, I seam to be able to configure everything as far as I know and can test, I am actually thinking the game is not loading properly, how long should it take before the game start screen actually shows? and should I get the loading scribbles in the background?

@tzdig don't write/drag/put anything before certutil.

@windg oh my gosh, that is just unbelievable!

Ok, i renew my question...will there be a 4.7.21 in 2022? :D

@mitu It seems I left my remote connection open on the computer and some config files where deleted by mistake. Thank you for pointing me in the correct direction this fixed it!

@mitu IT WORKED!!!!!

I needed to install xpadneo. Thank you so very very much - I spent so long trying all the different combinations!!

@upjumptheboogie The Xbox S-X should be supported by the xpadneo driver - did you install it before pairing the controller ?

@sleve_mcdichael cheers will have a better look later on tonight please bere with me guys. Thanks

@sleve_mcdichael then there's the problem right there lol. Thank you for all your help, you've spent a lot of time on me. I'm going to continue to read up on this. It's all a learning experience for me and very interesting. Happy new year to you!!

The PSCX2 team has completely removed the plugin System in the newest version. They stated that they will readd the ability to rebind the controller via gui in later updates.

You could have kept the newest version of PCSX2 using the method i stated above.
But good that you have found a way to get the old version of PCSX2 so it works for you again.

For anyone with a Raspberry Pi 4 that wants the default config file this is what you need:
..

This is not the default config.txt file, since the default doesn't have any picade overlay added or any rotate options (which is not supported on a Pi4 anyway). If you're looking for the default file, it can be extracted from the RetroPie image using 7Zip or by just mounting the .img file.
