@Baxter I didn't upload it.

@wstanek Not every vertical game is 4-way, though. Many arcade SHMUPs are vertical and 8-way. But with either the xboxdrv (item 2D) or switchable Joysticks like the Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus (I have two of them built into my upright cabinet, see my review here), that wouldn't be an issue.

As from time to time I still have the sudo password prompt hitting me back on a system where I can't change /etc/sudoers and this is one of the first Google results: sudo password will be requested if you changed the runcommand configuration to set the CPU governor to something that is not default. It'll request password during game launch and after the game ends (to restore previous value).

So, solutions are, like described above, add entries to /etc/sudoers or change runcommand config to not touch CPU governor.

I created a tutorial for installing RetroPie on a Pi4 with the Buster release and official RetroPie Image for the Pi4, here: https://muckypaws.com/2020/06/10/pi-4b-gaming-rig-part-1/

that NES joystick/pad looks nuts!!

You put my thoughts perfectly into words. 😆

@rogerdodger said in Configuring xboxdrv with Xin-Mo 2 player controller:

Perhaps true 4 way controls can only be achieved mechanically, I have limited knowledge of Arcade stuff.

i belive this is the only way ...

as i suggested earlier, it is possible to physically switch from 4 to 8way by loosen the screw on the bottum, but if you want something that can switch automaticly i would suggest something like the ultimarc servostik perhaps, alltho those are quite a lot more expensive than the zippy joysticks (especially if you want 2).

@ddallman said in Player 1 START button not working IN GAME - CPS1:

What could be the deal?

If the start button works everywhere except the cps1 games, i would expect the issue to be in mame2003's cps1 emulation ? However i don't think you'll get support for this emulator, using mame2003-plus or FBNeo is highly recommended nowaday. Also, FBNeo is supposed to provide the best experience with cps1/cps2 in terms of accuracy and input lag.

@Spectreman - As @arcadez2003 pointed out it does work well on mame2003 and mame2003-plus using ROM moonwlkb the other [parent/clones] hang.

@matchaman Ah, I misunderstood the concurrently part. I don't think it's possible from within the emulator, but maybe something external to combine the 2 inputs into 1 virtual gamepad (like xboxdrv ).

@Spectral There's no need to delete it. Just leave it as it.

@ian02293 I'm not familiar with the theme - if it supports collections or not, you'll have to ask the theme author or just try adding your collections to see if the theme already has images for them.

@tezter Most of that information is useless now since I figured it out yesterday, but thanks for recommending Techgara.

Mostly not at 4:3 or 5:4, as I said, because they haven't been manufactured in bulk in almost a decade. It is actively hard to find a brand new 4:3 or 5:4 LCD panel. 99% of new monitors are 16:9 or 16:10.

@guruguys

... from what i can read on this trimode pcb, it already has a (atleast one) gamepad mode using the switch on the back?

its hard to know for me as the link to the manual dosnt work, but if thats the case, then you should be able to just switch it to "gamepad" mode and remove Xarcade2Jstick.

@barbudreadmon - I've grabbed the new DATs and see the information. Thanks a lot for adding it! I find it a very useful quick reference if a game has a working status. Much appreciated! :)

@naughtjosh How did you connect the controller to the GPIOs ? Did you install any of the additional drivers needed for such setup - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/GPIO-Modules - ? Simply connecting a few wires to the GPIO pins is not enough.

Ideas that don't require any downloads?

Set-up your PI on a location where you have internet, just in case you'll need a driver to be downloaded or use your phone as a WiFi access point.
