@sleve_mcdichael I'll give it all a shot when I get home. I'm also going to try and reinstall the RetroPie image without Raspbian. See if I can get the lcd to load. I think it would make for better gaming in the long run.

@mitu said in Multiple Default Emulator:

You can probably automate some stuff. The ROM-Emulator association is stored in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg. If you already configured some games to start with specific emulators, then you already have some entries there so you can see how its format and replicate it for other games.

thanks! that did the trick :)

i will now try and get all the names of each system and add that into the list!

will try and figure out an easy way to do this now ;P since i got close to 5k roms lol

Not sure why you're using an old image instead of a recent one (4.5 should have been available 6 months ago), but you don't need to configure the 2nd player if you already have configured P1 - their configuration should be identical if you're using just 1 encoder. If you configured P1 through EmulationStation, the auto-configuration files should be already present.

Please stop spamming the forum topics - this is not how a forum works and it's rude.
You didn't provide any of the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, please do so and we'll be able to provide better assistance.

All sorted guys. I have found that editing the actually config file for the roms is an easier approach for some reason. Thank you for your help.

@tr00p3r well the fun part with the officials image is that you can mess with it as many times you like. And through messing with it, you learn how the system functions. Basically learning the basics of retropie. I’ve messed up configs so many times in the beginning, lol. But hen when it comes to 3rd party images made for, let’s say my free play zero gba, it gives me direction to look for issues, instead of just being blind to the complexities that makes retro pie.
The raspberry pie was designed to teach people how to code and configure computers. In my case, I’ve learned quite a bit here configuring my pi’s to my liking. Playing games is just a very fun side effect. Good luck 👍

@mitu Thank you. I will lookup both of those.

@mitu Thanks . I tried to use space to mark the selection i made but that is not the problem. All other selections are working that way I do.

@lochana

Necro, but when you google this problem thread is one of the top results, so I'll add this here.

I was just reading that this emulator can give a performance boost over the LR version, so I decided to try it out and of course my controls don't work. I see the mention of building a config file, but I happen to have a USB keyboard installed and noted the following:

The game recognizes my analog sticks right off the bat, none of the buttons. If I press escape I get the emulator menu, which allows me to redefine the controls. The problem is, the emulator doesn't seem to recognize any button pushes from my controller. It does list it as a recognized input device (generic 360 controller)but when I select that as the device and try to define keys, it just never seems to recognize any button pushes at all. This seems like a much easier way to define the keys if there is a trick to getting it register the button pushes.

Edit: A note to future googlers: In order to configure the button presses from your controller in the configuration you need to use the A or X (PS) button to start configuring things. For some reason when I was pushing return and then trying to push a controller button it wasn't reading the configuring. After I pushed that button and then tried to configure the button it was suddenly registering them.

The only thing it is not registering is my d-pad, so I can't configure the d-pad for up/down/left/right if I want. Not sure why as that works in the lr version just fine.

It's also not registering my triggers for R2/R3

@alexgtorres91 What makes you think options 3-7 really exist ? That's not an order number there, it's a hotkey to activate the option next to it.

bump... I've got this problem too, any ideas? I've tried reinstalling UQM, and using to new HD version, but it never works...

@Charononus Maybe you were just hatched yesterday? Perhaps a few days before... So, you think that someone who sells a closed-source emulator, for PROFIT is some sort of good guy? Send me £4.99 via PayPal and I will tell you what I really think.

@caver01 thanks for your suggestions, I did change the theme and it helped a bit, but the main issue was my overscan settings. Uncommenting and increasing the left and right values slightly made a huge difference. Feels much more official now, lol. Thanks again.

@meleu, thanks man. I'll look into it.

@tmak glad it's working!
