Retropie BBC guide for newbie?
-
@mediamogul Do you have any idea why I can't get any inputs to register? Everything else is working, I'm nearly there.
-
@SpudsMcToole are you configuring the controls inside a bbc game? If not try setting up in lr-mess.
-
@edmaul69 "are you configuring the controls inside a bbc game?"
No, because the keyboard won't recognise any inputs so pressing Tab gets me nowhere.
"If not try setting up in lr-mess"
I have no idea what that means in practice. (I tried hitting a button during startup to select another emulator, but advmess was the only option it offered me, even though I'm 99% certain I have lr-mess installed.)
-
@SpudsMcToole In the advmess.rc there is an option to make all keyboards seen as the first keyboard. @mediamogul knows what the option is. The issue is your controllers or mice can be seen as a keyboard as well. I have a mouse hooked up that is recognized as a mouse, controller and keyboard. Causes a big mess with advmess.
-
@SpudsMcToole you also could plug your keyboard into usb port 0 and then boot up the pi.

Hmm. I tried removing the lines
device_joystick auto
device_mouse auto(the docs say they're disabled by default without those lines), but it made no difference - the joystick still worked for getting rid of the "OK" prompt, but the keyboard didn't.

To do that, you'll want to set
device_keyboard raw. -

@Stevezx81 Now there is :)

Thanks for the help, I really do appreciate it, however I must be a super-dummy as that 'guide' is just far too complex for me, I couldn't even find the config file it says to edit lol. anyway thanks again but I've given up on retropie and the BBC. -
@Stevezx81 You have to create it yourself. Just open a new document in the folder then save it with the name I gave you.
