RetroPie 4.3.17 Stretch images

steeeb

@auswear I also have issues on Stretch with Shanwan controllers.

My solution is to use the new sixad drivers that are in a pull request on RetroPie-Setup github. But it always says PageTimeout and it takes like 2-3 times to initially pair them- but then it works great.

Oops, 4.14.30 kernel from last update seems to have broken some things, including dualshock 3 drivers...
edit : obviously not talking about the necessary remap, I had tons of ghost input, and the motion sensors are detected as a joystick.

@sano In my case I have problems with the xpad-driver after the update:

@steeeb How do you install them?

@sano +1 been noticing this as well. Took 2 clean installs to finally get one of my pads to pair. Lots of ghost input, and I can only pair 1 of 3 of my controllers.

If you're somewhat familiar with git, @psyke83 version of sixaxis works great for me with 4.14.30 :

@sano Not sure this has been mentioned yet, but you can install this image directly onto a usb drive and run it on a pi 3B+. Not sure if this creates any issues, as I haven't hooked up a physical KB to it yet, but it boots up to the configure controllers part of ES...

edit for clarity: as in, no sdcard is needed if you boot with the usb drive.

I'm having some difficulty with lr-prdoom. It works mostly fine and goes in game, but for some reason, my weapon is constantly being swapped out, even when I remap those controls.

@gomisensei what size of USB did you use?

Makes me wonder if its possible to have a small as hell sd card for boot only, with the USB having all the retropie and kernal data

4.3.17 images are now on the first post.

@buzz thanks. What are the high level changes between 15 and 17?

BuZz

@pjft you would need to check GitHub history sorry. Not at home.

ClassicGMR

This has probably already been answered so apologies in advance but -

Can I put 4.3.17 on my 3B as well or is this a 3B+ only build?

HurricaneFan

@classicgmr You can put this on your 3B.

I don't know if it's the issue you have, but there sure has been recent improvements.

@jlachniet

I've found a hack to fix this until it is sorted properly...

Replace :-
/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so
With the one located here....

https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/2018-04-10_cores/prboom_libretro.so.zip

Not extensively tested but it seems to work OK....

@sano
At the risk of sounding like an idiot...

I'm not sure what to make of the link. I see that people are using the psyke83 4.14.30 PR but I'm not even sure how to use that to be honest :(

Is there a tutorial on it? My google-fu seems to be lacking... Or there is no info out there on GitHub Pull Requests but I doubt that lol
