@pianoman72 said in Port 2 Controls Not Working After Upgrade to Buster:

I upgraded to Buster today with a fresh .img and copied over .cfg files, etc from the old install.

Some configuration files might not be correct with the new versions of RetroArch. Which version of RetroArch did you have before the update ?

PROBLEM 1 - If I'm in the emulationstation menu, the player 2 controls DO work (all players can control the menu), but select and start are swapped. I thought if I swapped the values for those inputs in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg it would resolve this, but has no effect.

input_player2_start_btn = "22" input_player2_select_btn = "21"

Not sure if configuring in retroarch.cfg overrides the autoconfig profile values. Where did you get the 21, 22 values ? The numbers look way high for a button number.

In games, the 2nd player controls don't work at all. I think this has something to do with "Port 2" if I go to settings-->input---Port 2 Binds. There is a new device index (index #2) that wasn't there before the upgrade to Buster.

Did you install any aditional drivers in RetroPie ? If you have a 2 player controller, you should have index 0 and index 1.

So in order to get any input on that screen I have to switch to index #2 and it will assign new numbers to all of those old values. So for example what was button '22' becomes '6' but at index #2.

How many gamepads does the system detect ? Did you add the USB quirks for this controller - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/ ?

@kman0318 said in controller buttons open command line:

RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): retropie 4.7.1

Try to update the latest version (4.7.12) and update your OS/packages also (the installer will prompt you to do so). Then reboot and install the xpadneo driver before trying to pair again via Bluetooth.

@gabbo999 said in Retroarch input setting problem:

I have a Raspberry pi4 with obviously retropie installed, I finished today to build my cabinet and I wanted to set all the right buttons for each emulator.

Please add the complete info, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

In N64 emulator i went in the Retroarch quick menu and i noticed that in port 1 controls B button and Y button are both button 3, same A and X both button 1... (see photo attached)

Actually, the B/Y buttons are not mapped at all - the right side (which shows the emulated system's mapping) is empty. How did you configure the gamepad ?

@mitu You're totally right, the ROMs I have just aren't the two control set versions, I just tried Gauntlet and everything worked fine. Thanks for your help!!!

I haven't tried it using FBneo so maybe I'll do that. Failing that I'll just get hold of the NES version I guess.

@thorr69 Absolutely! When my girlfriend came to my home for the first time more than two years ago, she was very surprised by my RetroPie upright arcade cabinet (subsequently, she told me that she thought "okay, kissing later"), and soon after that, we played together next to another. 😊 We held hands for the first time when we looked up special moves for Street Fighter II Champions Edition online. 💞😄

(Her interest in playing retro games waned over time, but she still likes my "Automat" – German for "machine" – up until this day.)

Sorry for the off-topic, but this triggered some fond memories … 😇

For completeness, I've done some more work...
I checked fuse.rmp, it did not have the "-1" settings applied to anything.
Each game remap would have been created from the fuse.rmp (using the retroarch menus.)

I then checked all my game remap files. 13 of 28 files had this problem.

Next I tried to recreate using the retroarch controls menu.
Cycling right through the available options that can be mapped to the port 1 controls I have:

"---"
Up (1)
Fire (1)
Keyboard Overlay
Up (2)
Down
Left
Right
Fire (2)
Fire (3)
Enter
Space
Then back to "---"

The (1) etc are my addition, "Fire" appears 3 times, "up" twice.
I set some buttons to each of these values, wrote a game remap file and checked for "-1". None of these options generated the "-1".

Next I cleared the options on buttons A, L, L2, R, R2 & X (all originally set to differently) and bingo, I recreated the problem :

input_libretro_device_p1 = "257" input_libretro_device_p2 = "0" input_libretro_device_p3 = "259" input_libretro_device_p4 = "0" input_libretro_device_p5 = "0" input_player1_analog_dpad_mode = "1" input_player1_btn_a = "-1" input_player1_btn_l = "-1" input_player1_btn_l2 = "-1" input_player1_btn_r = "-1" input_player1_btn_r2 = "-1" input_player1_btn_x = "-1" input_player2_analog_dpad_mode = "0" input_player3_analog_dpad_mode = "0" input_player4_analog_dpad_mode = "0" input_player5_analog_dpad_mode = "0"

There appears to be a bug. When clearing a mapping using the retroarch "Controls/ port X Controls" menu from any value to "---" the resulting remap file contains "-1" for that key and this stops you mapping the button using the Retroarch "Options" menu.

I hope this helps repay the debt a little!

We may have to amend the docs and don't recommend ds4drv anymore. Try with regular bluetooth pairing again - it should work.

Its just working ingame now after removing xbox drivers and some tampering with the PS 3 driver like remove and install again and switching to antherone and back to shanwan.
Not yet tested in Retroarch

Holy crap. Never mind... I.... yeah... that .... that was stupid. It's been a while since I configured the machine and I totally forgot that it wasn't retroarch's settings but MAME's settings I had to change.

I'll go hide under a rock now. Kthx

@lolonois Thankyou very much. I will keep this in mind !

By the way, MAME 2003-Plus has four different button layout presets for gamepads and arcade sticks. See Default RetroPad Layouts in the Libretro wiki for MAME 2003-Plus. They should cover most games' button layouts.

Thank you for your post. Having two SF30 pro and got the same issue.
After configuring as per you post above, the mapping is strange. For example, the hotkey is used to jump under tomb raider.
In other words, the controller map is not as per lib-retro "standard" for psx. Any idea how to be back on standard lib retro mapping ?
My config : retropie 4.7.3 / pi 4

@dankcushions it’s about performance. On 2016 I can play eg. Die Hard Arcade with minimal slowdowns during QTE but overall game is pretty playable. With current mame it works in around 10 fps. Apart from that I have Mame2016 romset and don’t need to find another source for that.

It's a pity it doesn't work, it was the ideal steering wheel for an outrun-based arcade, because of the Ferrari logo theme and the license :(

@mahoneyt944 , @Melvin-FoX Thanks for the suggestion, disabling the digital autocenter did the trick!

Thanks pal will do. Cheers
