@lostless Thanks for the insight and all the help. I will give it a try!

@chrisw99 said in will retropie SD card work on Okdo Rock single board computer?:

Just curious if it is a direct Pi replacement and my retropie SD card from my dead Pi would work "as is" in one of these ?

No, it will not work.

@Sailing_Nut i used to map "CANCEL UI" to "´select´ & ´start´" in AdvanceMAME.
This quits a game with the hotkey-combination we all know from the lr-emulators ;D

Please add the rest of the info as asked.

A single dance pad can't be used even to get half of the Power Pad because the center square on dance pads is not active. Assuming the Power Pad works inside like a Konami dance pad, the sensors are analog (pressure sensitive resistance), so you can't just hook up the guts to a PI, and you need a microcontroller with 12 analog pins. I don't know if the Power Pad's digital electronics can work with the PI's 3.3v GPIOs. A full solution for the Power Pad 12 button side is to overlap TWO dance pads and use bleeding edge fceumm libretro core: https://www.instructables.com/Playing-NES-Power-Pad-Games-in-Emulation/

@mitu said in Shanwan usb controller analog/d-pad switch issue:

Which manual ? The one that I found for this gamepad mentions the Home button to switch between XInput/DInput.

I refer to the same manual

@mitu said in Shanwan usb controller analog/d-pad switch issue:

Since most games don't support the analog controls, it's normal. RetroArch has a setting for the controller (Analog to Digital Type) to make the joystick control the D-Pad, without the game supporting it.
Open the RetroArch menu, go to Controls -> Port 1 Controls and set Analog to Digital Type to Left Analog or Right Analog to use the joysticks instead of the D-Pad.

I have also a PS1 controller and I'm able to switch between analog and digital in games, so I thought to do the same with shanwan too

@mitu You're right! Thank you very much.

@lostless the number of pulses are just to tell the microcontroller (or computer) which coins you are putting in. So you can set a quarter for 5 and a dime for 4 and so on. So when you set up an electrical piggy bank. The computer can tell which coins you put in. I'm guessing I would have to put some type of resisiter for this to work which is beyond my present capabilities. I went ahead and bought one off of X Arcades site. They have one with the microcontroller and stuff hooked up so all you have to do is Jerry rig it to your buttons or just connect it straight to the USB encoder. So hope it all works when it comes in lol

@mitu yes thank you but i am looking for one with a barrel plug that will plug into the neogeox case. or, since i have that aliexpress barrel/usb cable, a usb power brick that would work.

@mitu Hello.

I have modified the emulator installation script as follows:

addEmulator 0 "$md_id" "psp" "pushd $md_inst; XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$home/.config/$md_id ./PPSSPPSDL ${extra_params[*]} %ROM%; popd"

So that emulators.cfg looks like this:

ppsspp-1.10.3 = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp-1.10.3; XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/pi/.config/ppsspp-1.10.3 ./PPSSPPSDL --fullscreen %ROM%; popd"

And the operation is as desired, I have separate configuration files for the specific version of ppsspp.

Thank you

@ililil said in Post preparation actions for ROMs:

where can I find them?

Not here, see the forum rules.

@mitu I fixed it! There was a problem with the Wi-Fi links around the house, as i was in the back room. It appears that the keyboard has a problem, so that is probably fine as I connected a ps3 controller via Bluetooth. Thank you!

This has been accepted and merged on GlideN64 master branch, so the game should be fixed when updating from source on RetroPie setup.

@mitu that actually lit the lightbulb!

It turns out that the Xbox controller was the offender. Somehow it was messing with emulationstation when left on while rebooting. If I turn off the controller, everything comes back from restart no problem.

@windg Yeah i know Gex is also on PSX but i also wanted to try some other 3do games like Space Hulk, Star Control 2 and Wing Commander remake

@TPR

super helpful

I agree.

Seems we have to wait for improvemnets.

Maybe this will work for you

@aweeks007
Because every game needs a different amount to play the fmv, there's no real sweet spot to set it at. At the time I had it at 250, which gave it a good amount of rewind but clearly was too much for the games I mentioned. Some of them could only take about 50 which is not enough rewind.
The only solution I recommend is to turn it off when an fmv plays then turn it back on when it's over

Are both controller working properly when only one of them is connected ? What kind of controllers are you using ?
Can you add some more info about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ? Fill in the info you know, especially the info about the controllers, Pi model (if it's the case) and emulator used.
