Xin-Mo not configured with particular emulators issue?

[A Former User]

Hi Buzz, thank you for responding :)

It works with:
Nes, Megadrive, GB, GBC and N64... not sure about NEOGEO as there is probably some special way of mapping the controls which I haven't yet looked in to.

Doesn't work with:
SNES, MAME 2003

I get a message of configured or not configured so my instinct was that this is retroarch related, as I had a similar issue when configuring the other controllers but once changed to UDEV all worked fine. I would have thought however it would work with nothing or everything, as this was the case before.

@Lukeydoo

which snes emulator ? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

Please post the contents of these files

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg

you can use a pastebin site or put them on the forum (but make sure you wrap them in a code block as I have done above - http://commonmark.org/help/

Okay no worries,

Off out for a meal now so won't have access to my computer but will give you all these as soon as I'm back. I will paste them as you have suggested.

With regards to snes I haven't messed around with the emulator for snes so should be the default one but I can confirm again when I'm home.

Just out of curiosity why do you need Nes is it to compare? As nes is working. I don't mind was just wondering :)

[BuZz]

@Lukeydoo That's the reason I want to see it, as it is working (so I have a working config from you to compare against a non working config).

@BuZz

Thought so, okay that's fine I will send all those through when I'm back.

Okay so I'm back now so here are the config files, I had to use paste bin as there were too many characters:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg:

/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg:
http://pastebin.com/9YJvZ9tN

/opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg:
http://pastebin.com/vyQGeKrN

/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg:
http://pastebin.com/KjTRpGgk

Hope this all works okay.
It seems to be there there is a lot in the Snes and Mame and barely anything in the Nes could this be the issue?
Just for additional information all the other ones that are working also have nothing in the much like the Nes.

@BuZz

Have you had any luck looking in to the codes?

[BuZz]

@Lukeydoo I've been busy sorry.

The problem is you have enabled save configuration on exit in retroarch, and somehow your snes config has lost the retropie defaults for example.

I would remove the problematic ones, and then do "update all packages".

Did you use floob's video manager tool at any point btw or manually edit any of the configs ? There was an issue before that it broke if they did no end in a linefeed - this is now worked around though (since 4.0)

@BuZz

No worries at all.

So how do I uninstall them and update all packages is there a tutorial on this?

Would I need to use that work around or would the update all packages be enough youthink?

[BuZz]

@Lukeydoo delete /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg and from retropie-setup choose "update all packages"

@BuZz

What was this issue in the code then? Just everything about it due to the auto save? What are the Retropie defaults? Sorry about all the questions just trying to learn as much as I can!

Should I also turn auto save off?
