Player 3 controls unresponsive in lr-pcsx-rearmed

edmaul69

@BenMcLean yes the retroarch gui menu. If you go into quick menu, options, you should see the 8 controllers say analog or standard. And the ability to enable 1or 2 multitaps. Make sure all 8 controllers match the first two. All 8 matching is important. Their is a weird quirk in the emulator and sometimes all 8 controllers need to be in the correct mode. Then try with one and two multitaps enabled.

BenMcLean

@edmaul69 OK I am almost certain they already did match before, but I will double check next time I get a chance.

BenMcLean

Yes they were matching. This isn't the problem.

I know its not the controllers because all four work on n64 games.

you should post your /opt/retropie/config/all/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/config/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg and /opt/retropie/config/psx/retroarch.cfg

What's the index number for player 3? I'd imagine it's set at 2 if correct. Also, is the correct controller selected for index 2?

OK. Here they are up on dropbox:

/opt/retropie/config/all/retroarch.cfg

/opt/retropie/config/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

/opt/retropie/config/psx/retroarch.cfg

this one is much bigger than a usual retropie default config. i guess you have set some retroarch settings manually? if you update retroarch (or have updated it in the past), there should be a copy of the default cfg at /opt/retropie/config/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist

your file is a too large for me to spot any issues, really :(

/opt/retropie/config/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

pcsx_rearmed_pad1type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad2type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad3type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad4type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad5type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad6type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad7type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_pad8type = "default"
pcsx_rearmed_multitap1 = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_multitap2 = "disabled"

you could try with multitap2 enabled and multitap1 disabled. i'm not sure if bomberman world is 8 player or not, but sometimes psx games want you to put it in slot two for whatever reason.

/opt/retropie/config/psx/retroarch.cfg

same as before - the default system cfg should be 2 lines long. there should be a copy of the default cfg at /opt/retropie/config/psx/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist

BenMcLean

Thanks. I will try replacing with the default config files.

The only real change I remember making in RetroArch (besides messing about with the multitap on PSX) was in setting the menu buttons manually and in swapping the A and B buttons on the NES core. So those custom settings are easy to set again after replacing the config files.

BenMcLean

OK I tried replacing those files and while I had a few false starts because my ability to call up the RetroArch menu got wiped out, I was able to get player 3 working just fine after I fixed that. Thanks so much for your help!

I'm having the same kind of issue, except I still haven't found a way to figure it out ... Posted it as an original topic here, but no one came to my rescue :(
