@soonerdoc If you install ES from source it will be fixed (or wait 30 mins and re-install from binary).

Ok, thank you for your fast response! I have solved the issue now! I found out that I was an idiot.. I'd installed the wires on the buttons wrong, which led me to believe that they were working, as they showed up. Tested it put with another wirering today, and it worked.

Thanks a lot anyway!

Managed to SSH into it, manually ran updates again, had to force the dpkg lock removal, and all seems ok now, whew!

FYI I believe the only other thing I did in RA at the same time I broke the controls was to enable "save changes on exit"

funny that i came to retropie forum to post the same thing, lemme explain what i am going through

i have just switched from ES to AM for these reasons...

easy to filter game by number of players or catagory (a win for me) custom favorite sub menus ( games to play with wife and kid menue and another to play with friends for example) easier to theme game display (getting the number of players and game description on screen is satisfying)

with that, i noticed that scraping usually a pain for these type of info (i believe the box art and video preview is easier to find at the moment)

my problem is i have not find a single rom manager to easy manage different type of system roms (on PC) that can pull info from the internet direct and save them directly to gamelist and romlist directly

i use to have the same problem years ago with my movie collection, till i found this app,

if anyone has a suggestion or willing to work on this, it will make alot of gamers happy

@estefan3112 The list of files looks fine, permissions also look ok, but there's something amiss here.

@gassyninja87 Please don't reply to 3 year old topics - you should have started a new topic referencing this one.
For your problem, re-install the retropiemenu package while your HDD is plugged in and it should be re-installed and appear in EmulationStation.

@caver01 I bought the arcade parts on aliexpress. They have pretty decent quality. They came with a usb board which connects controllers with Raspberry. All the wires were also included so it was just plug n play setup. I have spare iPac from previous project (that in fact was never completed) but it was easier for me to do it this way.
It looks like this:

Verified fixed. Thanks @BuZz !

@dudleydes thats makes sense, I will look into just applying the OSK to the stable emulationstation fork. Stay tuned....

@sselph Thanks!

@trigger_death
thanks you

@KillerQ yeah, I get what you are saying. I actually use mine but I also enjoy the tinkering and set-up just as much, if not more!

@alaskajohn I have created a file and placed it in the folder .rom so each file appears as if it is a game e.g. 80s 902 etc.It's been a while since I've made it, if it's difficult for you, I can look something up, I'll remember it too, if you manage the internet radio, I'd be interested.

I believe some of the videos on remapping core input in the Retropie Wiki about Retroarch should work the same for the windows version (I haven't done it yet, but probably will here in the near future): https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/retroarch-configuration

I forget how many nice little things are in retropie like the ES auto-configs for Retroarch that don't always work when you do things separately (and/or on Windows). When I did try Retroarch on Android the core input mapping did work the same as it does in Retropie as shown in the wiki video links.

@kamikadzem22 Thank you! I know this is old, but I signed up just to say thanks! This is what solved my issue. :)

@BuZz It's good to know that it's a kernel bug. Thanks for the info.

Good to know that it just works and you can enjoy it ;)
