4.0-rc2 images are available for testing.
-
LED support is in the raspberry pi kernel but not yet packaged. Next kernel update will have it and no more flashing.
I would still be interested if you can test the xboxdrv changes I mentioned, as it may help me workaround the issue for those that want to use xboxdrv. Cheers
-
Just an minor detail, but if you mind putting the pre-release tag on the 4.0-beta2 image release and when the 4.0-beta3 image release comes out, this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-
Strange as I had the pre-release tag set before - at least I remember setting it. Maybe it got edited/removed at some point. Set again. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Sorry if I was nit-picking...
-
Not at all - in fact it was incorrectly showing in the downloads on the main site which I didn't want.
4.0 may come out soon after beta3 as most of the issues relating to the recent retropie-setup changes have been sorted now I think.

Thanks! :)

@me
when installing lxde, you are now given the option to fix the permissions so startx can be launched from ESI also fixed up the dxx-rebirth launch links - please update retropie-setup and reinstall it from binary.

On the other suggested testing I need to reimage back to the original 4.0-beta 2 first before update and loading the driver?
no. can just do it from your updated image. I just need to see if forcing removal of the xpad driver helps before launching xboxdrv, and also if the packaged raspbian xboxdrv behaves differently from our updated one.
This testing would be very helpful - thanks.

Ok, I actually did a fresh image already and updated it. I do have a quick question. I will need to install and configure the xboxdrv first so the correct lines are part of the rc.local so I can modify them?
-
@Riverstorm yes

Thanks Buzz, it seemed logical after looking at the rc.local but I wanted to verify it just in case.

I am not sure on the intended results but this setup seems even worse. I can get them connected as 1, 3 & 4 but not 2 it flashes the green ring. I can power them off and on and they will reconnect (green quadrant light for proper controller connection) but the issue is none of them work. I can't even configure them for input let alone use them.
Here's slightly different errors when exiting ES with Ctrl-F4:
[ERROR] USBController::on_read_data(): USB read failure: 32: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR
[ERROR] USBController::on_write_data(): USB write failure: 12: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROREDIT: Here's my /etc/rc.local modifications after installing the xboxdrv.

It's different but not good. I was able to get a stick configured via Configure Input but they all just have the flashing green circles. I could navigate with controller one. Entering a game controllers 2-4 didn't work. After a disconnect and reconnect of controller one I lost connection to all of them.

@Buzz I need to go back and recheck this testing (xboxdrv with rmmod xpad). I need about an hour to finish something and will post back for sure on this.

I just wanted to verify I was in lr-mame2003 as it has joysticks pre-configured (Gauntlet is my 4 player test). With this configuration arrangement all the joysticks flash even the working one when connected so to test them I play a game. That is unless the other sticks should all be able to scroll through the options in ES. Joystick one works and I was able to fully use it to select & play. Joysticks 2-4 flash green with no response.

4.0-rc1 is released - see first post in thread.

@Riverstorm thanks for the feedback.
-
Not sure if this is a bug or not but I tried 4.0-rc1 last nite and noticed that when I tried setting up overlys none were available . The only option was unset . I looked in to the file system and it appears the entire overlays directory is missing. Decided to try beta2 and the same thing happened but 3.8.1 is fine
-
@cooky069 you need to install them from packages -core - retroarch - configure or setup/tools - retroarch. You can now keep them updated separately from retroarch
