SammyBoy

grant2258

Saint_Jimmy

May I have the link please? sammy boy

and grant, Player two can still only move down and left and (btw I added the script even though it was already there so now I have it twice on the end)

grant2258

in mame or in emulationstation?

Saint_Jimmy

mame

grant2258

ah ok if all is well in emulation station youll be fine its a mame issue

i think you might have accidently remapped some buttons seeing your menu is going on when your in mame from the other post did you delete the cfg files to reset mame to defaults ?

grant2258

make sure mame isint running

rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/mame2003/cfg/*

this is assuming your roms are in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/

start mame again

Saint_Jimmy

@grant2258 it says no such file or directory

Saint_Jimmy

If it helps I am using my arcade folder.

grant2258

do you have ftp access the forum took the spaces away but do me a favor

type ls /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg

if there is files in there do a
rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/*

if they arent there they must be in the mame 2003 with spaces

@grant2258 Done, what do I do know?
btw I appreciate you doing this.

grant2258

restart mame and see if you 1942 is ok from the other thread or was it 1943

Saint_Jimmy

@grant2258 THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH you solved both my problems! If I had ANY money I would pay you. Thank You SOO MUCH!!!!

grant2258

@saint_jimmy no problems mate it was an easy mistake ive done it myself sometimes you accidently go into mame and change the buttons by pressing the 8th button. #

if this happens again

us the rm command :)

Same here. Running Rasbian Jessie and having all packages up-to-date both Jessie and Retropie updated. I have the output of lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
and the output of ls /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak2
DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak

I have tried to manual add _player2 to the button config so I have 2 .bak files in this dir:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 605 Dec 7 15:00 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 733 Dec 7 14:24 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 605 Dec 7 14:19 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak2

Here is the current .cfg:

input_device = "DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick "
input_driver = "udev"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_a_btn = "2"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_r2_btn = "7"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
input_x_btn = "3"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"
input_l2_btn = "6"

And I have no idea how to move forward now...
