@capeman Nope,

I had to manually rewrite it.
It seems swapping the controllers caused it to automatically over write it.

Strange really :s

@sik i thought this was just me. The only emulator it works in is n64 for some reason

@morrisav10
Yeah Its Nice this is the attachment https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/communications/chatpad

The chatlad fits on 360/one controllers

@theepicdarklord you wire switches to available GPIO pins and a ground pin. Then, you can run software that watches GPIO and converts the buttons/switches into keyboard commands or game controller input.

Adafruit's Retrogame is a popular choice, but GPIOnext is becoming the better choice, as it will be more user-friendly and has a lot more options for keyboard, gamepad, and can even trigger commands.

Thanks again for your help, pal.

Quite a bit's happened since I last looked at this thread. Primarily, I've bought another Pi! I'm putting a second one together, myself, from scratch - and I'm beginning to get my head around Raspbian. I think this second Pi will end up becoming another RetroPie platform, but one that I've tailored myself from the ground up, and attached to a TV rather than confined to a cabinet. I'm enjoying the challenge - plus, I feel slightly less of a fraud than I did a couple of months ago...!!!

Can I ask, does the Pi have a known 'threshold', when it comes to emulation? For instance, can it make a solid fist of the N64 and/or original PlayStation? And what about slightly more niche stuff from the same era, like the Saturn...?

Thanks again to anyone who can advise,

DH.

However, for Zelda in nes, I can control the game just fine and do everything normally, except quit. I can't get out of it without pulling the plug.

when you did https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#configure-controllers, what did you configure as 'start' and what did you configure as 'hotkey'? to quit it's hotkey + start.

@marky489 zdoom will work with controllers. You need to enable controllers in the options, then in that controller you need to turn off axis 4 and higher otherwise you will spin in circles in gameplay. Set what you want axis 0-3 to be. Then there is another option outside of the controller setting where you assign buttons and keys. Configure your controller in there. It sets it up for every doom engine game you use zdoom for. The only issue is you need to use the xboxdrv to set up the esc key and the enter key so you can exit/ use menu without a keyboard. Left and right on your controller is up and down in the menu

Hey @Xypher2000 did you ever find a solution to this? I am interested in doing the same. Thanks in advance.

@jester83
I found the problem doing the xbox one bluetooth connect linux trick causes input issues in emulation station

There is the a-pac board, but 39$ is too expensive and the second controller will be useless.

Sorry for reviving an old topic, but installing these drivers https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo worked for me. One thing to keep of note is when configuring the controller to make sure it matches what it says here for a Logitech Controller https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Logitech-Controller/#l2r2-top-triggers that L2 and R2 need to be +. After that select, and every other button, worked fine for me.

@ken1402 said in Pre-loaded Retropie not recognising the new controller:

will the controllers work after i format the sd card?

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/

the seller's ad caught my eyes - plug and play and require no expertise

This is sadly part of a wider issue. People pay a scammer money for something that is free. The scammer sets it up - often incorrectly. Some scammers even point to this forum for support! Most scammers aren't using the latest version. Although this software can be as complex as you want to make it, it is essentially plug and play in the first instance to be up and running. The guide is a great starting point and if you follow it, you can be up and running in under 30 minutes in my experience with no prior knowledge of anything. Good Luck and there will be loads of assistance on here if you need it but remember to search the forum first as there are hundreds of repeat questions and most are covered in the docs. The most common question is "this rom or that rom will not work...why?"

If you have that question you could read: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/ if you are planning on playing arcade games.

@meleu Hey there, sorry for the delay, came back from work a moment ago!

retroarch.cfg
es_input.cfg
8Bitdo NES30 Pro.cfg
DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick.cfg

Thank you, btw I tried again tonight and I have the same issue!

my internet was gone for over 2 weeks (thanks UPC) and brack did not reply for 3 weeks after i sended in the Retro Gaming kit, now i got "answer" they don't have any left to replace, so that means "game over" for my RetroPi Project.

@rsn8887: To answer your first question, @meleu has a great script that you can use to change which controllers are used for player 1/2/3, etc.
