      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.

          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

              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

                  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.
