this is the area I changed. All my punch and kick buttons work but I can't go forward or back and up or down. Not sure what to do with JA_LR=1 and JA_UD=0. This game has been a real challenge to get working. I have a rom for the psx but I'm having troubles getting it to run. I even put a bio folder. It runs but not correctly.

put three backquotes before the fba2x.cfg content and other three backquotes after. The content you put here seems to have some missing characters and lines...

Let me paste my own fba2x.cfg for capcom games (keep in mind that I'm using a PlayStation-like USB controller).

My Joystick Axis configs is different from yours (JA_LR=0 and JA_UD=1).

I play marvel vs capcom on lr-fba or lr-fba-next. Im not sure which one im using. I will let you know which one when i get home. I have every single capcom game on lr-fba or lr-fba-next that it supports and i tested all of them. Had to download some new ones to replace ones that didnt work on it. I will let you know which one in about an hour. I also have my capcom games split into two rom folders. All 6 button games except street fighter 1 in one and all the rest in another. The reason why is the six button games have a different controller config then all the rest of them.

I'm confused on the joystick axis. JA LR=0
I think that is where my problem is.

edmaul69

Means joystick axis for left and right is -/+ 0. If your joystick buttons are numbers or hats you need to change it from axis to a button

megatron99

@edmaul69 ok I'll try that. I'm going to replace #joystick axis to #joystick button

edmaul69

@megatron99 said in FBA can't move up,down,left,right:

@edmaul69 ok I'll try that. I'm going to replace #joystick axis to #joystick button

So for compatibility i use lr-fba-next for all 6 button games and everything else uses lr-fba. I just tested and marvel vs capcom (euro 980123) works on lr-fba-next

It seems that you aren't familiar with the "linux way of life"... :-) The # character means that everything after it is a comment. It's only usefull for humans, the PiFBA ignores it.

Although I believe that finding a proper ROM to make it run on lr-fba is a good solution, I would like to be able to help you to make it run on PiFBA.

Can you try to use my fba2x.cfg to see what happens? Maybe the buttons aren't what you want, but let's see if the directional buttons will work.

megatron99

@meleu thank you. Looks like I can't find a rom to work. I would love you hear if you have any suggestions on getting the rom to work.

megatron99

trying to get Marvel vs Capcom to work on lr-fba or lr-fba-next. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the rom working. Went to https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs with no luck.

Akil313

I have this problem but I'm stuck using PiFba when i want to change to lr-fba-next. The issue is when i start the game i see no menu to change the emulator I'm using.

meleu

@Akil313 what do you see?

Akil313

@meleu it goes black, then i see a yellow bar loading up and at the top it says final brun alpha for Pi

meleu

@Akil313 another user reported a similar problem:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2831/runcommand-dialog-before-game-sometimes-disappears

Did you change something in runcommand options?
That one in the RetroPie menu.
Details here:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

Akil313

@meleu I have no recollection of changing anything but its possible i might have a long while back.
EDIT
Thanks a million man i got the runcommand menu back, i switched to lr-fba-next and that solved my problem with the joysticks.
Thank you again so much lol ive been looking for hours.

meleu

@Akil313 good to know it! :-)
Did you get the right marvel vs capcom to play in lr-fba-next?

Akil313

@meleu Yea its working too all the games i added worked fine
I used clrpro to compile everything already
