Retropie PSX Emulator only 1 controller works

[meleu]

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!

@edmaul69 can you paste the error message?

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.
