Retropie PSX Emulator only 1 controller works

[meleu]

Hey guys. Let me complement the @alexis-puska tip:
[EDIT: this is incomplete and unusable.]
The best way for you is to copy the lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh script shell to another file, let's say lr-pcsx-rearmed-fixed.sh, and make the changes suggested by @alexis-puska . And then reinstall.

It will let the original file untouched. ;-)

@meleu then how would you launch the fixed version? :) by editing the existing .sh you can launch it via retropie-setup.sh as normal.

Well, if the copied script is at RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/, as the original file, it will be launchable via retropie_setup too. BUT... I have to agree that my suggestion is incomplete, therefore unusable...

The functions inside the copied script need to be renamed to match the file name... although this renaming process could be simple for a experienced sed or vim user, it's simpler to just follow your instructions (edit the URL and after the reinstall put back the libretro one).

Sorry guys...

trying to repair my mistake... :-)

A simple module to install the @alexis-puska fixed version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh

[EDIT: the @alexis-puska Pull Request was merged! No need to use this anymore!!]

Installation method

wget -O ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh

Then, start retropie_setup.sh and go to Manage Packages -> exp -> lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska -> Install from source.

Benefits of this method

It installs the @alexis-puska version and let the original lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh untouched. It installs another emulator option for Playstation. Choose it in the runcommand menu.

Hope it helps!

it says no such file or directory

root@retropie:~# wget -O ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh
/root/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh: No such file or directory

[meleu]

@edmaul69 you are using the root user dude!!
You have to do it as the pi user!

[edmaul69]

@meleu pi user. Check. :) i always log in as root.

[edmaul69]

@meleu works! Thank you.

[meleu]

@edmaul69 just to explain what went wrong:
The tilde ~ symbol means $HOME. Then, if you are root, your home directory is /root. And if you are pi, your home directory is /home/pi.
Do you get it?!

[edmaul69]

@meleu that would explain a lot. I always had to type out the directory i wanted because ~ did absolutely nothing for me. I always wondered why everyone has that but it never once worked for me.

[meleu]

@edmaul69 The @alexis-puska Pull Request was merged!! You can uninstall the emulator installed with the lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh.
RetroPie-Setup -> Manage Packages -> exp -> lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska -> Remove

I'm glad my script lived only 3 days but it was enough to make you understand that ~ means $HOME. :-)

[edmaul69]

@meleu and i am so glad to know to ssh into it as pi. Saves me the headache.

[alexis-puska]

@edmaul69 Thank's to you for this work around with this script.

[edmaul69]

@alexis-puska that was @meleu that provided the workaround.
