@GreenHawk84 I totally get this. It took months to get my build perfect to the point I was only adding around 1 rom at a time so I could scrape and detail it perfectly. Now we have a huge upgrade it makes my palms sweaty so I don't mess anything up lol.

@hawkes_84 Thanks will do. The controller should be here in a week.

Hi,

I have followed much of the same process as on here, I have up/down/left/right/a/b/x/y all working ok.

Start and select don't work however. In the config file I have the following:

SELECT 6 # 'Select button'
START 16 # 'Start button'

I noticed in the list of commands does not include 'start' and 'select' (i looked at the kerTable. file referred to on adafruit tutorial) so maybe it should be SPACE and ENTER, I tried this but still does not work in emulationstation or when playing a game.

Any ideas?

I am just using arcade buttons and a joystick.

Just to check, does the part after the # matter? I thought this was just a reference in the code to the person reading it so they knew what that button/PIN did.

@pinacolada Ok so I think I've resolved this.

Firstly, I took advice from a YouTube video which described how to update RetroPie itself - this took me to the following screens:

Update Remote Setup Script Basic Install Perform Reboot

It took a while, and looked like some errors occurred during the install, however...it did come back up, and now the hotkey + right trigger DOES load from the save slot.

So I guess the root cause here was an older version of Retropie.

Modify your profile notification settings and disable emails ?

@BuZz thanks, it helped

It is Ok.

@mitu thanks that worked a treat!

I bought it from a local retailer 1 or 2 years ago.

@BuZz, It appeared to have worked after a uninstall of my previous set up and following your link for the manual install.

Cheers. Would you recommend any settings that I should change for a raspberry pi 4 for a better experience?

Never mind I have fixed it. I used the MC command and changed the word kidmode to full in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg.

@uncledisgusting said in lr-pcsx rearmed not responding to psx controllers and can't get into menu to configure them - please help! - retropie4.6 pi 4:

system_directory = "~/RetroPie/BIOS"

That should be present in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file, which is included in the psx config - so you should check that file and maybe reset it to the default set by RetroPie.

@shavecat Good to know there is a workaround for now if it works for you on the Pi4. .

What game(s) have you tried? It could be a corrupted ROM, so try a few different games or try to find another copy of the game.

Have you tried to remove the redream package and re-install from the latest binary?

Also have you tried using the lr-flycast or Reicast emulators to run the game instead? Both can be found within the optional packages menu. When launching the ROM, hit a button to choose which emulator to use(once you have installed them). All three emulators run well on my RPI4 4Gb at stock speeds.

Only other thing is to think your pi is throttling, have you any heatsinks/cooling? Are you using a case?

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I will certainly look at this.

However i managed to solve my issue and webtropie is living and breathing again.

my es_systems.cfg had become corrupt so emulation station was not starting correctly. i rectified the issue by overwriting the file.

Ok, So I got this figured out.
The thing is, when boost library was removed two years ago, it removed the ability to navigate on UNC folders too.

I thought that this was really strange since EmulationStation can still loads the gamelist.xml on my Server but couldn't load anything else, but, I found a pre 2.7.4 build (that still has boost library) and now everything works :)

Right now I'm running a really old 2.6.4 build. If anyone here has a 2.7.3 build saved, please share with me, I would really appreciate.

Thanks again
