    @mrbwa1 said in Reicast Stuck On Time & Date !:

    The Input section should be between the [dispmanx] and [omx] sections. Hre is that part of my emu.config:

    [dispmanx]
    height = 480
    maintain_aspect = yes
    width = 640

    [input]
    evdev_device_id_1 = 0
    evdev_device_id_2 = 1
    evdev_device_id_3 = -1
    evdev_device_id_4 = -1
    evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_TwinUSBJoystick.cfg
    evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_TwinUSBJoystick.cfg
    joystick_device_id = -1

    [omx]
    audio_hdmi = yes
    audio_latency = 100

    I have never done a manual edit of this config file, so I'm not sure what you need in the evdev_mapping_X lines or the joystick_device_id_X line. You can try pasting in what I have and changing TwinUSBJoystick.cfg lines to

    evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg
    evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg

    Note, check /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings for the exact filename. It might be something like controller_MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg. All of y listed configs start with "controller_" except keyboard.cfg (I am running Retropie 4.1)

    here is my devices -

    0: Mini Keyboard (/dev/input/event0, usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input0)
    1: Mini Keyboard (/dev/input/event1, usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input1)
    2: MAYFLASH Arcade Fightstick F300 (/dev/input/event2, usb-3f980000.usb-1.5/input0)
    3: 8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad (/dev/input/event3, b8:27:eb:e5:9c:6a)

    i like to setup the MAYFLASH & THE 8Bitdo -

    controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg
    & the -
    controller_MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg

          Oh yeah, in the /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg file you need to change evdev_device_id_1 & 2 to equal the number of the joystick you want to use.

          So if you want your MAYFLASH Arcade Fightstick F300 to be player 1 and your 8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad to be player 2. From what you posted above the Mini Keyboard is using 0 and 1 and the MAYFLASH is 2 and the 8Bitdo is 3.

          You'd do something like this:

          [input]
          evdev_device_id_1 = 2
          evdev_device_id_2 = 3
          evdev_device_id_3 = -1
          evdev_device_id_4 = -1
          evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg
          evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg
          joystick_device_id = -1
          

          The -1 means no joystick which we used for player 3 and 4 and also have evdev_mapping_1 & 2 to point to the matching joystick mapping config files.

          And if you want 2 players at the same time, then you need to add this to the bottom of that same emu.cfg file:

          [players]
          nb = 2

                still not working !

                I'm stumped.

                Please post the contents of your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg files (or whatever controller mapping files that are referenced by your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg).

                Also post your current contents of your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg file as well.

                Sometimes something as little as a typo can cause the whole emulator not to work.

                    and how do i see my device id inputs again because i think i did a update.

                    evtest then just hit Ctrl+C to exit after you get your event number.

                    I did notice something in your emu.cfg. There's spaces in your controller mapping cfg file name. Try putting quotes around them like this:

                    evdev_mapping_1 = "/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad.cfg"
                    evdev_mapping_2 = "/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad.cfg"
                    

                    Or you can just rename them to controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg to remove the spaces.

                    Also you'll want to add this somewhere to your emu.cfg file if you want 2 players:

                    [players]
                    nb = 2

                        cannot press select after entering the time & date. :(

                        Image

                        So close! I think you press either the A button or the Start button to press the onscreen "Select" button so try running evtest again to verify that
                        289 is the A button and 299 is the Select button.

                          these are the codes i got after a evtest -

                          alt text

                          alt text

                          is input correct & which codes are for the - A, B, X, Y - LT, RT

                          and there is no select tab in the mapping.cfg

                            Okay!

                            B is Btn_South = 304
                            A is Btn_East = 305
                            Y is Btn_West = 308
                            X is Btn_North = 307
                            LT is Btn_TL = 310
                            RT is Btn_TR = 311
                            Start is Btn_Start = 315

                            Also in emu.cfg:

                            [input]
                            evdev_device_id_1 = 2

                                there is no select tab in the mapping.cfg

                                The Dreamcast controller didn't have a Select button but you could map that button to Exit the emulator (just remember not to accidentally hit it while playing a game!)

                                Change this in your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg file to use the Select button to Exit Dreamcast emulator:

                                btn_escape = 314
                                

                                Did all this work for you?

                                  yes got past the time & date.

                                  will give it a full run later on.

                                  thank you.
