#100+1 problem with Controller settings

[zhajdu]

@mitu Its done, you were right. i configured one of the dragonrise joysticks then restarted the system and know both dragonrise joysticks are working. (its very strange) anyway this does not solve my problem i think

Which problem is that ? You said the controllers are working now.

[zhajdu]

@mitu Hi There! Now the current status is that the controllers might be working although i have not tryed this page yet https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/README.md
BUT now my layout is set and i cannot insert coin in the MAM4ALL emulator games for example cadillacs and dinasours. which button should drop in the coin? when 1 month ago it was working it was the select button

what cfg files should i copy paste here so you could review?

[mitu]

@zhajdu AFAIK key bindings in Mame4ALL are set from the emulator by hitting TAB (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/#mame4all-pi), do that to change the settings. Also, the config file is not readable (i.e not text), so there's no text file you could paste here. Grab a keyboard, press TAB while in-game and configure your settings there.

update!! if i use not the MAM4all but the MAME liberto emulator i can insert coin.... WTF?

[zhajdu]

@mitu You are the Man! Thanks now it is good in mame4all too

[zhajdu]

OMG the link you sent is also working now i can priorize my joysticks!!!! you are the best

@mitu i dont want to start a new thread for this because you know everything. So if i am playing an arcade game with fba the sound is lagging and the game laggs also sometime, do you know what to do?

Get a better PI ? For Pi1/0 models, pifba might be more appropriate for your hardware. What game are you playing ?

[zhajdu]

@mitu thi is Pi3+ (thats why i cant overclock in raspi config according to a blog) should i overclock? i am trying to play metal slug in play station emulator and also the rohga armor gorce is lagging in the fbalphacore

[zhajdu]

@zhajdu Overclocking did not solve anything. the sound is the same, lagging

[mitu]

I'd say that's about right, the game was also lagging on the original hardware. The FB Alpha core has an overclock hack - look in the core options and see if overclocking from the core settings helps.

@mitu Hello There again mitu! Everything is fixed as you mentioned and based on your guideance we had many lovely gaming hours. Now what happens is that I bought Play station usb controllers to replace the classic SNES controllers. The problem with this is that it turned out that the retropie recognises it as Dragonrise joystick:(. So this means that the arcade joysticks and the newly bought play station controllers stick together because they have the same name:( Do you know what to do?

[mitu]

@zhajdu I don't think it's possible to differentiate between them unless they have different Vendor/Model IDs. You can find out by executing from the command line

sudo lsusb

and looking at the identifiers for each device. If they're the same, then RetroArch and possibly other emulators cannot tell them apart.

[zhajdu]

@mitu can you advice me a good but cheap psx controller which is not dragonrise?

[mitu]

I assume by psx controller you mean a controller with dual analog joysticks and shoulder trigger/buttons. I don't have any particular recommendation for cheap ones, but try searching the forums or finding a model you'd like and ask the vendor/search the internet if it uses a DragonRise chip.

@mitu thank you
