Old topic, but it's the one I found via Google after spending some time trying to figure out how to easily launch DOSBox games. Tried to follow both guides, but seemed very manual and finicky so ended up scripting it for my own Pie3 instead - basically it just takes an extracted copy of the game and allows you to select the executable and that will be saved to an init-file. Put it up on github if anyone wants it (https://github.com/tebl/retropie-dosbox-configure).

Thanks BuZz! Yea...this is so my bad. I assumed since the Raspberry Pi I ordered from Amazon a while ago, since it was called Raspberry Pi "2" B+, was part of the 2/3 generation. But, after reading about the 0/1 vs 4 raspberry icons displaying, and not paying attention to that during boot, downloaded the 0/1 image file, and everything is working fine!

Again, sorry for being a goof and letting that one slip right by me...

Thank you all for the fast responses! I will be working on obtaining a faster Raspberry Pi in the mere future.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, I didn't configure anything except my controller. F1 doesn't work, and I did not configure any hotkeys. Where can I manually configure the hotkey for my keyboard?

Thanks!

That's great to hear! Please keep us updated.

I ended up wiping the micro sd card and reinstalling everyone from a different computer (just in case), and i still have the same issue..... The dev Gods must hate me! :(

@kevreh Just keep in mind, the two methods conflict with each other, so I think GPIOneer turns off RetroGame. You can't use both at the same time.

@FAB2TB SOLVED: My SD card has a writting problem, I cant format it no more which explain that I cant save anything on it correctly since it has been damaged.

Note - please see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and format your posts with markdown (logs / configs in code blocks please).

you should also provide details of things like retropie version / and platform when posting.

@AmigaGamer Seems this post is quite old, but I couldn't find other related post yet.
I encountered exactly same problem with you but I can't get this 8bitdo zero tool because official homepage has renewed. Do you still have the tool? If you don't mind, May I ask you to upload that tool on mirror?

Solved it.
I opened the config TAB menu of the MAME emulator.

The mapping was messed up for some reason.
Here is how it looked like for the first 4 buttons of Player 1

P1 button 1 = LCTRL or RetroPad1 B (This one is correct)
P1 button 2 = LALT or RetroPad1 Y (This one is also fine)
P1 button 3 = SPACE or RetroPad1 X (This one is supposed to be mapped to LSHIFT)
P1 button 4 = LSHIFT or RetroPad1 A (This one is supposed to be mapped to SPACE)

Buttons 3 and 4 are rightfully mapped as RetroPad X and A, but for some reason, the first values (SPACE and LSHIFT) were switched.
What I did is to edit the value by hand with the keyboard.

If you compare the mapping for the X and A buttons with the MAME retroarch.cfg you will notice the difference.
input_player1_a = "space"
input_player1_x = "shift"

Have no clue why this happened, but it works now. :)

@cyrus Never mind, you have to press TAB in game and then you can configure the buttons

User here was able to get it configured fine in ES - they had to tweak their retroarch joypad configuration though for it to work with games - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2097/controller-does-not-work-in-games

I found a way to reset controller settings finally and now I can setup my controller from scratch :D

Looks like I can only assign channels when its connected to a PS3. I'm guessing I'll have to leave only one dongle in and then connect the second as and when I need a P2 pad.

Thank you @edmaul69

@dankcushions Was rather lookin' for some "solved" button? Really, this forum engine is far too confusing for old people. "Terminated" problem? You know what I mean? Does it even makes sense, hahaha? I liked the old forums' engines.

Ok, thanks to all for your clarifications.
I was able to install rom with proper file extension as described there: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-setup/wiki/Supported-Systems
It works with what I tried.
