This is my workaround:- my /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh:- python ~/MFRC522-python/rfidlaunch.py & emulationstation my rfidlaunch.py contains: subprocess.call("/home/pi/nesmario.sh &" , shell=True) when a corresponding RFID card is detected this nesmario.sh contains : /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS nes '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Super Mario Bros..zip' emulationstation this means my RFID script runs all the time, when the RFID card is detected in emulationstation it kills emulationstation, runs the rom as user pi and when the rom has quit relaunches emulationstation. Thanks for all your help everybody

@larsks I don't use mame4all, so I can't say for sure about the axis, hopefully someone else will be able to. What might help is binding the arrow keys to input control in mame4all. Technically, if your up/down/left/right is bound to dpad in emulation station, it should also translate dpad input to arrow keys. This is how you are able to navigate the menus like retropie-setup with a controller. You might need to run joy2key by hand before launching mame4all. Not sure.

@brewskii said in Yet another controller issue...: Quick question though, is one game pad "dominant"? Sort of - Player1 is the only one that's allowed to use the RetroArch menu and the hotkeys (including the Start + Select to exit the game).

I did that and the result is the same. I´m going to try again. In the other games works fine. except for this...

Thank you for the replies everyone. I am probably going to go for the two port Mayflash adapter. The Raphnet stuff does look higher quality to be sure, but it's also double the price and on back order.

the setup for mame2003 plus is simple. if you have 6 buttons map like this https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/snesmapping.png if you have 8 buttons map like this https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/10PANEL.png then goto quick menu -> controls change user1 and 2 device type to 6 button or 8 button pick save remapfile your done. The top left side is the mame button number order. you can also redifne any buttons n this menu. There is also a 8 button setup for compatibility with fba/sf2 fightstick for 8 button layout but it doesnt map l and r very nice for other cores by default. here is the link for that mapping https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/modern.png

I assume the problem depends on the Debian system. Can I test the pairing myself on the commandline? Which commands are used in that case? How can I contact the developers of the ps3controller driver for retropi? Maybe they have some hints on this problem.

@mitu That was it. Thanks a lot.

I do enjoy a good Pilsner but I meant couldn’t. Also, all of the 2 dragonrise buttons are in identical ports.

I think your problem is that all controllers (both the arcade and the N64) have the same name and Vendor/Model IDs, making them appear as the same controller to the system. When you configure your N64 controller(s), the arcade buttons configuration is overwritten - since they appear the same - and thus your configuration is broken. Here's a topic discussing this - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6264/you-have-to-use-identical-controllers-for-multiplayer-games-please-prove-me-wrong - but it's not the only topic with this problem.

Thanks. Worked perfectly.

@dankcushions Thanks! I've understand to use "Controls" for button assign for input.

@watford98 said in Switching between arcade and gamecube controls: Q1 - Can i plug some of the mayflash type adapters into one of the ports and have this work in tandem for certain games. Yes, sure. Q2 - How would i set it up so that the control type could be switched for different games. You can use the joystick selection tool created by @meleu [1] or look in the RetroArch configuration editor and switch the player mapping (i.e. P1 would be the GC controller for a certain system).
