      Yes, it looks obsolete - the game seems to be working fine with just one controller in most lr-snes emulators. Maybe it was RetroArch's issue back in the day.

      @mitu Sorry, but it seems that I can only edit my posts during a limited time. After some time has passed, the edit option dissappears.

      I don't know if it is because I'm a new user or if it is the same for everyone.

      Sorry, I got distracted installing Doom and Quake 2.

      After downloading a new set of ogg files, I've got the music working. It seem that my files were corrupted.

      Now, the only question is how to use mods in lr-tyrquake...

      @ItsMuffinTime The wiki is editable by anyone and it's a collaboration effort. For the scriptmodule, we'll see how/when it will be fixed.

      You can check out the official commented .cfg from https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/retroarch.cfg, but apart from that I don't know if there's any official reference with all the options. The aforementioned configuration file has a pretty good explanations for the input handling.

      @BuZz Thank you. I made some edits to my post above to help prevent silliness. You are correct, it was psyke83 who suggested the change.

      Your directions above worked perfectly, as expected and I reverted all of the configuration changes. And scummVM also works as expected.

      Thank you for the commit, and for letting us play in your house while you and the team tidy-up the inevitable release.

      No problem at all. Yep TOC is fine, it's just the links within the pages which are broken.

      Thanks a lot.

      Either that or my defaults were already overwritten by today's change :)

      That could be the case. Mine was 'Auto' and I didn't run the update beforehand.

      @riverstorm said in Variable Governor not set in the wiki for Odroid XU4 - Performance Issue:

      The initial reviews seem mostly positive for Ready Player One.

      I really liked it. The film deviates from the book in sooo many ways for the sake of brevity, but it still feels like 'Ready Player One' at every turn. Something I was pleased to discovery that I didn't consider was the musical score done by Alan Silvestri. While the movie is a visual treat of pop culture references, the score manages to weave in music cues from many other properties as well and it's done in a very thoughtful way. It's not so much that you'll see a Star Wars character reference and immediately get a Star Wars music cue, but rather when moments occur that might organically evoke a strong feeling of fantasy, you may get a subtle little bit of the theme from Stephen Spielberg's Amazing Stories. All very well done.

      Remove confusion on the terms Trigger and Shoulder in the documentation

      @cwacha this is something that has always been a confusion due to the various hardware types. It had originally been left bottom, left top but that was confusing too depending on people's vantage point. It's most telling on the Xbox controllers where physically the shoulders are flat buttons whereas as the triggers are actually shaped like triggers as opposed to PlayStation controllers where the top buttons don't have any physical distinction other than placement. Shoulders and triggers are also more common in most gaming communities

      In short: bottom = shoulders, if there only two like the SNES then they are shoulders. Top = triggers

      I included the diagrams so they reflect the controls and verbage in emulationstation and so there can be no ambiguity.

      @hex Well, it is under Advanced Configuration in the wiki, so it shows up under Emulation Station in the Docs. I'm not sure if it would do that if it was in the ES repo.

      Oh, I agree - I based it on what Brunnis himself was doing comparing the press vs LED tests: differences were minuscule. See it here: https://forums.libretro.com/t/an-input-lag-investigation/4407/524

      But he did have a 240fps cam. I'm not sure if I can be bothered myself, it's just an idea. Overall it's all just out of curiosity and old benchmarking habits, which I have since the days of 3dfx cards :P I don't need this to prove anything to myself or others, since I can live with this lag as it is at the moment.

      One test though I would definitely would like to conduct is to take some people who claim that are "sensitive" to lag and do some blind trials on multiple setups with various slight differences. I think the results could surprise a few, especially those who swear that 1 -2 frames of lag makes games unplayable for them :)

      Suggestion: Compatibility Lists for Non-Arcade Systems

      there are already compatibility lists for the PSP, dreamcast and n64 systems, but:

      they are often pointless since those systems see active development so anything (not) working today will/won't be working tomorrow. without someone to babysit the google documents (like i, and previously @herb_fargus do for the mame lists) they quickly descend into gibberish. whatever cells you don't make read-only WILL turn into garbage on a bimonthly basis. hence: all the psp, dreamcast and n64 sheets are almost entirely garbage now.

      so, good luck to anyone who takes it on ;)

      @RobotLimeLtd That is not the default for retropie - default retropie has

      # Sets the "system" directory. # Implementations can query for this directory to load BIOSes, system-specific configs, etc. system_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS"

      in configs/all/retroarch.cfg - perhaps you overwrote the config?

      @herb_fargus Are there docs in retropie.org.uk/docs that aren't present in the wiki?

      Yes but some I intentionally left out

      I've found a broken link in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/ and searched in the wiki to fix it, but didn't find.

      Must have missed it will fix when I find a moment
