      @marconemusic that's not a verbose log, which has to be triggered when launching via the runcommand - check the guidelines again https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging

      @wesw02 Did you try to manually set the joystick order in retropie-setup for the emulator you are using?

      I had the problem that 1 out of 10 times, when loading a game, the player1 controller was assigned to player2.

      @w0nderw0rm You can map the dpad to the left joystick in retroarch options. Also if you use LR-MAME2003, there is an option in that emulator to map the face buttons to the right joystick for games like Smash TV and Total carnage. I think it's on by defualt.

      @ultramagnus_tcv said in Auto 1 Auto 2, etc. in RetroArch:

      It sounds like there's some kind of library of controllers that Retroarch knows about?

      Yes, at the link I posted previousy - https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig

      Is that pulled from the Internet or does a group of them exist inside the Retropie installation?

      Neither. When you configure your gamepad in EmulationStation, an auto-config file is generated automatically by RetroPie and copied into the right place, so it's loaded by each libretro core (RetroArch).

      I guess what I'm getting at here is: If I were adventurous, could I create my own autoconfigure entry for my particular controller since it doesn't match up with anything currently in there? I don't plan to do this. It's a curiosity.

      Yes, you can - https://docs.libretro.com/guides/joypad-autoconfiguration/ - but, as I said, an auto-configuration is generated for your when you configure your gamepad in EmulationStation, so you don't have to.

      Another question: Let's say I want to get an N64-style controller. Is there a way for me to look up whether a particular mfg's controller exists inside RetroArch's known controllers so that wouldn't need to manually remap?

      You can look it up in the RetroArch's joypad repository - link posted above.

      @mitu That's how I originally started out and it didn't work. I have weeks of work into this image now and don't want to wipe it out on a whim until I know that every avenue has been explored. And as I said earlier, it's happening on multiple different images.

      Thanks, I'll try that. It sounds like it is basically a bug since it should automatically invert an axis if I map the controls reversed. Some people want to flip joysticks around and use them left-handed, so the software shouldn't really assume a "correct" orientation.

      @RetroNerdman Nope, you go there : https://www.bountysource.com/issues/69769485-feature-request-input-mapper-macros . Also having a github account to reply "i opened a bounty" to this issue is a good idea though.

      I have a similar issue:
      Having 2 PS 3 controllers, yesterday I performed sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
      After that, the controllers still paired, however auto-logon failed.
      Then I chose to update all packages from the Retropie setup.
      After that I rebooted, and then the controllers didn't pair anymore.

      I will roll back to my last image, anyway I think some mess was being built into the latest update components. Obviously I'm not the only one having logon and controller pairing issues after the recent updates...

      @mitu said in Questions about controller buttons, logins, and Steven Scraper:

      but when we're talking about custom tags,

      Thanks for the quick response. I'll try the autostart and login.

      I don't have any custom tags...I just want to make sure that the redone videos aren't overwritten by the original videos. I'm not too worried about the favorite/playcount/etc stuff right now. I just want to get this all up and running. I ordered a replacement SANWA JLF-TP-8YT-SK joystick to swap into my controller. The stock stick is not very accurate, but I got it super-cheap and couldn't pass it up.

      I tried to config the buttons through the main input config area while retropie was running and found that retropie recognizes the Ultimate OI board by Ultimarc as one game controller. Seems to me it has to be configured through the script manually. I'm trying it tonight to see if I'm successful. Did you ever get yours working @EspenT ?

      Thanks.

      @Freakadude yes, the scriptmodule compiles MT-32 support into the lr-scummvm core, but is not enabled by default because the RPI is not very powerful for it in some games.

      If you want to try it, go to the BIOS directory ($HOME/RetroPie/BIOS) and in there you will find the configuration file scummvm.ini.

      Once in there, set these options in the [scummvm] section (if not there, add them):

      mt32_device=mt32 music_driver=mt32

      To return to the default (disabled), delete the options from the config file.

      Edit: forgot to add an option to the list :)
