While researching I stumbled over these lines in the Skeleton config:

# Input device buttons. # Figure these out by using RetroArch-Phoenix or retroarch-joyconfig. # You can use joypad hats with hnxx, where n is the hat, and xx is a string representing direction. # E.g. "h0up"

But where do I find these 2?
Both just returned me a command not found error.

RetroArch-Phoenix and retroarch-joyconfig

Also I don't have enough buttons to go through the auto config tool, so that simply is not an option. At least it seems so since I could not find a way to skip buttons or end it before going through all of it.

Tried the obvious things like using a keyboard:
press esc
press tab (to select the exit button)
press arrow keys (to select exit button)
press enter, well just for good measure at this point

Logging into ssh to check if it maybe already saves progress mid way through:

ls /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads Microsoft X-Box 360 pad.cfg Microsoft X-Box 360 pad.cfg.bak

Well, that seems like a no, so I can't just shutdown now and just fix up the file manually later with the intel obtained from the partially configured one.

Post some details about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Get a verbose log from running an emulator and then post the resulting log file on pastebin.com. Also post your joystick configuration profile here in the topic, surrounded by code tags (``` before and after the contents)

@chicoputo cool to see this helped someone else, somthing additional that might be be helpful.

if you re-map the controls you need to reapply the fix.

not sure what but somthing happens that causes it to default back to error state

@mitu
you got right!
i start the MetalSlug game and there is it all be correct and works fine.
its only non co-op games there will only player1 work.

will try some other games and will see if all be work fine

thx

@mitu Thanks for your reply. So I guess I'm stuck then and will need to get some of those I pac boards. Any recommendations on the type I need for the setup to work correctly? I haven't looked into them yet but noticed there were a few options to choose from. Many thanks

Open the options on the Retroarch menu and there's an option whose label I forget that will "map directions to digital" instead of analog. It's set to analog by default. I had to do it a few days ago.

See if it works.

set you controllers up again (only one) in emulation station make at the end you set your hot key to your select button dont skip it. Also unplug your joypad as its select button is probably different from what your have on your dragonrise and thats whats probably set atm

If that fails we can check what is in your config to see whats going wrong.

@grant2258 said in Dragonrise joystick to MAME Emulator:

@Shazam make sure all your controllers are wired the same as far as buttons go this is a common mistake that some people do.

Let me explain whats going on here say you has an xbox controller in and set it up then plugged another in it would use the same mapping as you set as the first one because it saves the setup for that controller type(retroarch).

The same thing happens with the dragon rise its regarded as one controller type you need to wire them up the same so they all match and you only need to set one up for them all to work. I can guide you guys on mame2003 or 2003-plus to get started if that would help.

Hi Grant - I would love some help please! see my post here.... https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26386/dragonrise-usb-issues

@uraverageplayer What emulator/game are you starting when it's not working ?
Configuring the joysticks in EmulationStation would automatically create a configuration for RetroArch based emulators (the ones that start with lr-), but certain emulators are not auto-configured (i.e. advmame or mame4all).

@kingrun Glad to hear it's all good now.

How do I install the latest version 2.21? I tried updating everything yesterday but my version number in the Amiberry "About" dialog shows only version 2.18.

Also, when I navigate the Amiberry menu to select a file, the cursor moves extremely fast. It is almost impossible to select anything.

Ok, I found a solution for my arcade controller: Uae4arm read the button "0" (read by emulationstation) as fire. So I fisically changed the wires in my encoder usb and I put the button that I wanted in the position recognized as "0".

@rooli said in Two Dragonrise Inc. controller boards in Emulation Station:

What means wire my joystick up identically? (I don't know how to do that and what that does)

Are all wires connected the same way on both joystick / Dragonrise board combinations? It's easy to make errors in the wiring.

Could you take photos of both joysticks' wiring and post them here?

On my system
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

install kernel 4.9.35-v7+. DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick works without any problem (just redo controller configuration from EmulationStation).

You should never use rpi-update ;-)

@chiribas10 The connection between the RPi GND and the 12V GND must be a solid connection. GPIO GND pin may not offer a solid connection. The "pads" on the mounting holes of the RPi are GND. The 12V GND can be connected to any of this mounting hole but must not be longer than 12 inches. Make sure that your connection is not shorting any other part of the RPi.
