USB ports no longer determine player number retroarch 1.7.1
-
@mitu i always keep them plugged in. I should pull out my ps3 controller so i can test plugging it in in a lower numbered port after powering on.
-
@mitu so if i plug in my ps3 controller after boot in port 0 it shows up as controller 7 in emulationstation as well as retroarch so im not so sure its just a retroarch issue. I cant test with bluetooth because the bluetooth on 4.4 never finds my legit ps3 controller.
-
@edmaul69 I found for 4.4 to use a ps3 controller, you have to install the old ps3 controller driver first to connect and then uninstall it.
-
So yeah i think if you plug in stuff after the fact its an issue with retroarch. Keeping everything plugged in seems to work as it should.
-
@lostless so i installed the driver. If i keep it installed it shows up but asks for a 4 digit pin. If i unistall the ps3 driver, it still finds it but gives me an error when i try to connect it. I get an “org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemtFailed: Page Timeout”
-
@edmaul69 you have to sync from the driver itself.

@buzz how would I install the PR version of retroarch? I would love to test?
-
Just tested the latest merge with retroarch 1.7.3 with the mods, old usb port functionality is now working. Thanks
-
@lostless can you explain to a noob what are the steps to get and install this PR version?

@robertvb83 it’s been merged, so just update retroarch from source
-
@lostless binaries for the rpi have been updated also.

@buzz For Stretch also ? I just updated - binary - and RA still says it's at 1.7.1.
-
I am the same, i'm on 4.4.1, RBP3 and update retroach from binary and it still shows 1.7.1 as well.
-
@mitu Forgot to trigger the binary upload. Should be updated now.

@buzz Looks good now, thank you 👍

I was able to successfully update too, but only gripe is that it messed with my Game remap files for FBA. It changed my Strong Kick and Punch buttons. Nothing to serious but still a little annoying.
-
@redbatman The new version has a new format for the remap files - so any remapping will need to be redone. Nothing that we can do about that I'm afraid.

I figured out the remapping, but it’s a logical nightmare. No sign on which player you are changing. It’s also based off the auto config numbers on your controller, no longer the system button letters. I don’t see how it’s “better” but thats a complaint to the Libretro guys.
