Thanks for all the help guys. I finally got it to work yesterday. Seems I forgot to go back and configure the controller once the Bluetooth was set up. I just use the keyboard to bring up controller input and everything was good after that.
@grant2258 Thanks Grant. I can't understand what's in that link, I'm afraid....beyond my pay-grade. But I'm OK with using the USB keypad to make it work.
You're welcome here but please install RetroPie from our site. We can't (nor want to) support a modification of our software provided by someone else.
It's against the licenses of software included in RetroPie for it to be sold or included with a commercial product.
Rpi4 support is still being worked on. It's not officially supported yet and many/most of the images out there are hacks also and don't implement things correctly.
Good in theory, but AFAIK the retroarch devs have no intention of implementing said feature in the short to medium timeframe. lr-fbalpha having it would be a lifesaver, there are a lot of 2, 3 and 4 buttons per player arcade cabinets out there that badly need it. What's the last lr-fbalpha version that fully supports it?
@BuZz not entirely sure, i played around with the settings as you suggested, then when I reset the pi the on-screen keyboard started working. I know the joystick cant work with every game but I've attached a keyboard as well so it all seems to be working.
Ok, I found the problem : the rom I used was a .z64 one I grabbed from an emulation web site, and this rom was apparently patched for the z64 linux graphic plugin for mupen64 and this confused the controller setup. I got another one and this time it works...
@j_hadden OK, switch it to dinput and use the USB dongle, then connect the controller. Exit Emulationstation, then run from the terminal the following commands
lsusb
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
and paste the output of both commands in the topic.
So my problem was fixed... I had to set a hotkey up to open retro arch and configure the controller while a n64 rom is running... that fixed my issue .
ive hit this as well and was confused. i see auto stuff and explicit buttons, so its confusing. I checked the input bindings and saw some map to auto and some map to explicit buttons, so i'm assuming this means it depends on the input settings--this mostly works but ive found a few situations where it isn't working, so im not sure.
@europadecas Despite my arcade, electronics, Linux, and coding experience I found Retropie to be a very complex and difficult to manage project. Kudos to the devs for integrating this many emulators into a single environment, and kudos to the support forum here for the help!
