@pinho83 said in Controller priority on retroarch emulators:

I changed controller configuration for lr-snes9x and lr-pcsx_rearmed so I can use the two logitech (more confortable with shoulders and triggers) and works good. I connect Logitech only when I want to play snes or psx games.

How exactly did you do that ? If you configured it from RetroArch, using a control remaps, then you need to remove the remap.

The hotkey enable button, being RetroArch specific, is part of the joypad auto-configuration profiles saved in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig.

mmmmmm... slowly i begin to understand better how all works :)

If you have a 4k TV, try setting the video resolution of your Raspberry Pi to 1080p - you can modify the /boot/config.txt file on the sdcard and set

hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=16

then reboot your Pi.

I would add that I have two DragonRise controllers, a USB Mouse (e.g., spinner), and USB keyboard connected.

I changed out the controller board for the 2nd player with another DragonRise just to see if it was the problem. That wasn't it.

@peetem All the files in the config folder should be owned and accessible by the installation user (pi on a Pi system). They're also available at \\retropie\configs via file shares.
Check the permissions on that folder by running

ls -ld /opt/retropie/configs

and post the output.

@mitu ok, it's a minor problem, if I click there and gets installed I just enter the menu again and hit remove samba components, you can close the topic if there's no easy fix :)

@steams71 I messed around with a few different cycles, it somewhat helps...but it just seems this game is on the cusp of the Pi's performance envelope. I found around 16,000 - 18,000 is the best it can do and not have audio issues.

I turned off all the fun caveats of the game and just run it as a clean ice, bare bones game.

I'm not thrilled...but I'm very happy to have it running and playable on my build.

Thanks for the help!

@beefcakedmighty Running from the desktop is not supported as outlined in the docs.

"The RetroPie SD image is built on top of Raspbian lite (Raspbian without the PIXEL desktop environment) RetroPie can also be installed on top of the full Raspbian but you can't run Retropie and PIXEL at the same time, you will need to logout of the PIXEL desktop environment in order to run emulationstation and the emulators RetroPie installs."

@iandaemon It was a typo, thanks for noticing.

@mitu said in Emulation station going off the screen:

Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Are you starting EmulationStation rotated also ?

Yes.

@supercom32 said in Dosbox: Where are game specific configration saved?:

Hi Everyone,

When you launch a game EXE and make changes to the keymap, or other settings at runtime, where exactly are these settings saved? Are game specific changes actually retained, or is everything reset back to default each time?

For that matter, Is there a way to add game specific configurations (Maybe a default file it searches for or something inside the game folder) without breaking the automatic mounting of folders and such?

This depends on which configurations you refer. The one from retropie/emulationstation or that one that you change in the game itself?

For the game changes itself I worked a lot on this to get a clean setup. I do this with the OverlayFS feature in Linux. This needs some fstab changes and common folder structure. But it would maybe fullfill your requirements. I planned to document it somewhere. If you're interested I would tell you some more details.

Andreas

So I figured it out.

I should have set Retroarch.cfg to rotate 270 degrees.

I feel silly, but thanks in advance.

@yfzdude said in MAME query re: picking characters on 4-player games? (TMNT, Simpsons etc):

Rampage also matters. (3 Players)
[I think the order was George/Lizzy/Ralph.]

They made sequels to Rampage. (After ten years) But they were basically the same gameplay with different characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampage_(1986_video_game)

The games you play should support a controller interface, most of them probably work with a keyboard and mouse and not exclusively with a controller.
There are generic gamepad-to-keyboard/mouse mappers, for Linux I know about antimicro, but the best solution is for the game to natively support a gamepad.

@xallius 3rd party images aren't supported on the forums, especially ones that come pre-loaded with game ROMS.

I'd suggest going back to the seller for support, or install the official image from the Retropie site and then the community will be able to assist you.

@dankcushions I appreciate the info and was thinking I need to do a fresh install. I was hoping for a workaround without having to start from scratch but will try the fresh install.

@silvergamer said in Retropie/Odroid xu4 controllers configuration:

But yes, the odroid xu4 came installed with retropie and emulationstation.

We don't support systems sold with RetroPie/EmulationStation & roms. You can install RetroPie on Odroid XU4 as indicated here, this will get you the most recent version of RetroPie.

@clyde
That's fantastic, thanks for the info! I had been searching for usb interfaces on the web, but hadn't seen one like this. I don't see why this wouldn't work. I'll give it a shot, and let everyone know.
