If the PSX controller is P2, without any configuration, in order to switch controllers you should have:

input_player1_joypad_index = "1" input_player2_joypad_index = "0"

You can re-order the controllers also from the configuration editor configuration - it's one of the advanced options you can set.

@alturis said in RetroPie 4.7.1: Trouble getting custom_viewport_... settings to work:

Are you suggesting I fix that myself in the github project?

The file is from the upstream Retroarch's repository - you can submit a PR there to have it fixed.

@holyheadshot said in Cannot map controls to IPAC:

Maybe another silly question but I've read other threads about emulation station configuring as gamepad vs keyboard. Would changing something like that help?

There's no explicit setting in EmulationStation for that, however there is one for the IPAC and it's referenced in the doc page I linked earlier.

Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

For the input part - can you get a verbose log from the emulator and see what it reports ?

@billymild by default retropie uses the RGUI menu driver:

it sounds like you're talking about the XMB menu driver:
alt text

you could set it to the latter via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Configuration-Editor/ -

advanced config configure libretro options all/retroarch.cfg menu_driver = xmb

note that RGUI is the menu that is referenced in all our docs, and may be more performant on low spec machines like Pis.

@chuck_pierce said in screen_orientation in retroarch.cfg doesn't seem to work:

The video_rotation works like a champ (so my games play in the correct orientation), but the retroarch menu doesn't seem to be able to rotate. I've got a cocktail style machine and have the screen rotated 90 deg. I've tried values 1, 2, 3, and 4 with no changes to the retroarch menu.

that's right. this function is intended to rotate the GAME, not the whole session. it is working as intended. it looks like there's an outstanding issue to rotate the whole lot outside of X, that you could follow here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6770

unfortunately the ability to rotate the entire session outside of X does not exist for pi4, as far as i know.

natinusala created this issue in libretro/RetroArch open Menu ignores video_rotation configuration #6770

@retro81 Actually I may make it ask the user to update from RetroPie-Setup, to keep updating handled in one place.

Finally I've found solution for my tv there - tweakvec, and now got true correct colors with this tool.
Maybe it will useful for somebody too....

@mitu

@redpiperbob Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please provide more details of your set-up - which image you downloaded and so on.

@mitu said in Cannot edit /etc/modeprobe.d/bluetooth.conf:

@pscotto1234 Unless you installed the ps3controller driver, which disables the OS Bluetooth stack, there shouldn't be any issues.
You might have to re-pair the controller and - recommended - re-configure it in EmulationStation after installing the driver, but that's all.

Ok. Thanks.

@SuperFella well that command set read write and execute permissions to all users, so it would indeed do it!

Thanks pal will do. Cheers
