@sirhenrythe5th I actually had another think about the key combination for select +x and realised this is a hotkey + X. My hotkey is set to the little button on the bottom right of the 8bitdo controller. I pressed this button + X and boom into the GUI I go! Thanks for leading me in the right direction Regards Jimi

@monkeybus I remember when Compute! published Turbotape, it was unbelievably fast. Here are the technical details for those interested. https://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue57/turbotape.html

IT WORKED! Sorry for wasting your time bro. :(

This guy here had the same problem and he found a way of making it work. Apparently the way to go is to configure retroarch to use a standard keyboard then swapping the real keyboard to the ipac.

@WildkatCT said in 4.5 Reicast BT PS3 controller setup not working correctly.: Setting up a clean 4.5 image, can't see to get Reicast to configure controllers at all. Ran the controller setup utility, and all the button presses are detected, but in the actual emulator, only the analog stick works and the PS button is mapped to A. Oddly though, the controller works fine when plugged in USB. I tried manually changing the values on the .cfg file for the PS3 controller in reicast, but it doesn't seem to re-act to the changes, or at least the values I have are not corresponding to what reicast is expecting. How can i get values that reicast would expect? Something like JS test, but those values don't seem to work. @WildkatCT said in 4.5 Reicast BT PS3 controller setup not working correctly.: Setting up a clean 4.5 image, can't see to get Reicast to configure controllers at all.

Hello, I am experiencing this problem too, can't get any of my ps3 bt controllers to work with Reicast after the retropie 4.5 update, please help! I have already configured the "emu.cfg" as showed below and my mappings inside the "mappings" folder are correct for my controllers. [input] MouseSensitivity = 100 VirtualGamepadVibration = 20 device1 = 0 device1.1 = 1 device1.2 = 1 device2 = 0 device2.1 = 1 device2.2 = 1 device3 = 0 device3.1 = 1 device3.2 = 1 device4 = 0 device4.1 = 1 device4.2 = 1 maple_/dev/input/event2 = 0 maple_/dev/input/event3 = 1 maple_/dev/input/event4 = 2 maple_/dev/input/event5 = 3

@mitu said in Skyscraper Config.ini help (Credentials for Screenscraper): @mitu you were right! I didn't realize :o Many thanks!

This helped and I believe solved the problem once I tweaked my config options. Thanks so much.

@RetroResolution Thanks for taking the time to write this post, helped me :)

im not sure what your issue is here the tate mode does rotate right this is what arcades do

@mitu @Revenged Thanks guys. I'm set now.

@Nodfyr I didn't want to spend more time analyzing the problem, so I just called following: chmod 777 /path/to/file

After running the update my high scores now save ok. Im stilll have no luck changing the hotkey from "num6" to "h" If I edit it with notpad++ it looks right but no changes to how it functions. Also ive tried to change in ES controller config. When I get to the hotkey input at the end- I press my new button and get a key h input from the ipac2... still doesn't seem to actually change the hot key. I have game and core remap files for tons of games if this matters. Can anyone help me?

@driagonv Don't use save_on_exit for playing with re-maps, use the RGUI/RA Menu to Save Core Remap - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.

@pyjamarama Advmame has the config files in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/ for each version. For Vice - see the corresponding emulator page at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Commodore-64-VIC-20-PET/.

@dudleydes yes I tried that as well. UPDATE: everything is working perfect now. the trick was updating the binaries. :) Geez I should have started with that a week ago haha. -thread closed-

Thanks so much @mitu. It now will remember the save and won't show the ES loading screen even if it gets unplugged. Thanks so much for the reply.

@alexxx I believe the Using joystick message is the joystick information SDL reports to DOSBox. For my PS3 controller, I get the following: Using joystick Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller with 27 axes, 19 buttons and 0 hat(s) I do also get the following message which confirms my joysticktype setting. One joystick reported, initializing with 4axis I have checked the dosbox-SVN.conf file and the 2axis setting allows support for two joysticks.

Yea I've played around with it a fair bit though so it could be related to something non standard. Just wanted to set the retropie menu view to Basic and everything else to auto in ES and thought this was a way...
