Got it. You have to go to the individual emulator retroarch.cfg file. This is what mine looks like now for atari2600 and it works.

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the includes. input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/atari2600/" input_enable_hotkey = "escape" input_exit_emulator = "escape" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Nobody has any ideas?

Sorry for the delay in replying to this. Just wanted to update this post.

Ok so it looks like the joystick inputs, Start, Select and Buttons A and B cannot be skipped but once I get past those inputs I can skip away and save the config (by getting to the end).

So I just took some spare buttons I have and plugged them into the encoder and then once they were mapped I removed the psychical buttons I don't want leaving only one in my case.

Thanks to Mitu for the help

@mitu
Damn!!

It worked. Maybe I had set it to save config on exit writing that file. Then it was still there even when I changed this setting!

Pasting that did the trick. Thanks a million.

Ps. Look out for my Arcade photo uploads (once I’ve figured that out too)

@mitu Great! thanks, it works.

I only have pics scraped. I used the default scraper, so I will backup my roms folder and the mentioned paths, I hope they are accesible in windows over the network . :)

@dirtyd369 said in Xbox 360 Joystick not working in some emulators, but works on menu:

I assume I can save these settings using “save core remap”? Thank you!

Yes, this is the recommended way to do it.

For the 2nd part, related to Mame and Tapper, I think it is not supported in 'vanilla' Mame2003 (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1712/no-tapper-how-will-i-live-controls-not-working/) so you could try to use either advmame or install lr-mame2003-plus (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17766/mame2003-plus-250-new-games-new-input-system-new-features-new-bugs) and see if you get better results.

I know this is an old topic, but I tested the given examples in previous posts and they did not work for me, that is not to say they did not work in older versions of retroarch, for the record I just tested on retroarch 4.5.9 on my retropie handheld system.

To get the ingame hotkey volume control working add the following two lines to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg;

input_volume_up = "up"
input_volume_down = "down"

Below is an example excerpt showing that I added the new lines underneath there reference lines in the retroarch.cfg file, Lines starting with a hash symbol (#) mean that they will not be interpreted, and as a general rule of thumb in linux, often show what default values will be overriden by adding the new lines.

#Line 602... #Increases audio volume. #input_volume_up = kp_plus input_volume_up = "up" #Decreases audio volume. #input_volume_down = kp_minus input_volume_down = "down" #Line 609...

Note: I tend to use the volume control menu in emulation station to set the "master volume" for want of a better phrase then the in game volume for fine grained adjustment.

Hope it helps someone, if so upvote.

Please add more details about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

I had the same problem with Megadrive too. I think what screwed everything is the saving on exit...

I could not fix it no matter what I tried, so I started doing a fresh install.

It is so frustrating....

Please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. I have the same controller and had absolutely no problem with it, with either the official image or the new (Raspbian Stretch) beta image.

Yep,

Basically i had started out using arcade controls using the Picade Hat wired to arcade controls'
That is recognized by retropie as being a keyboard, later on i set up a FC30 Pro for use with the console systems.

The issue i had was while learning how everything worked i had used different methods on how i was changing settings then i would change something in the a zip.cfg file or the per system retroarch.cfg then get really wonder why it wasn't changing when it was set in one of the overrides that i forgot i had used.

as i say, this time round i am trying to stick to rules as to what i use each type of config for so i know where to look to fix things later.

@sli4 It looks like the tvservice program arguments are not correct or an update to it changed them. You'll have to find the line where the program is called and make sure it uses the correct parameters. Run that command from your terminal to check that you get no error.

Well after bashing my head against a desk for an hour or so I finally gave up and posted the above, then figured out almost immediately what the problem was.

Appears at some point within FBA i had set up a core override that must have had resolution settings set up,

Deleted the override file and FBA immediately started behaving itself

@gforce In this case, if you prefer to edit the configuration file, have a look at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#config-hierarchy to determine where to add the configuration parameters.

@ectoone Popping them in the ROMS folder worked an absolute treat. Thanks so much :)
