      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.

              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 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.

                      @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.

                        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.

                          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.

                                @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.

                                  @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.

                                    Did you get the right marvel vs capcom to play in lr-fba-next?
