UPDATE: I was able to fix the issue by going to RetroPie Setup > Core Packages and returning both the Retroarch hot keys and EmulationStation controls back to their defaults. Once I remapped the controllers again in ES, they carried over to RA.

Please take note that you can use jpg format in addition to png.

At least I've been using a mixture of png and jpg images :)

Thanks ! Will give it a try and post result after a couple of tests...

@mitu Thaaaaaaaat did it! Thanks so much!

@alxld Thanks for reporting. The warning message is confusing. My bad. Filed a small PR for this.

FWIW this mask is tested on user scripts, if one needs group writeable userscripts adding | S_IRWGRP would be a way.

@mitu I got it.

To get this sorted... I powered it up and kept swapping the USB cable inputs until it registered correctly in a retroach based emulator (I used Atari2600). Once it set correctly, I checked it in Daphne, JzIntv and DosBox. Seems to be holding and working good.

Go figure... swapping the cables with the power ON did it.

Thanks for all your help again! Pass this info on to anyone that has a similar problem with the UPCI. Or at least tell them to try this first. Had I done this from the start, would have saved time and a lot of reading/posting.

I know this is old, but this is the only thread that keeps coming up in searches that has fixed this problem for me, and I wanted to say thanks, and also include my controller model in case it helps anyone else.

Controller: GameSir G3s controller in X-input mode.
Left and right triggers were working at one point, and somewhere along the line, remapping the controller broke analog L2/R2. However, manually editing the config, like the user above (rilight) to +2 and +5 (yes, you need the + in there), fixed it for me. Specifically, this problem was plaguing me while playing OutRun on MAME.

Just wanted to say thanks to mitu and rilight. ;-)

@UberLumby Yeah, I just stumbled upon subfolder scraping by accident myself. Also didn't expect the scrapers to do that.

(Like I noticed the "hide preview" button in the forum editor right now by clicking on it accidentally on my way to the "submit" button. 😆 )

There's a topic in the Raspberry Pi forums for USB SSDs - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=245931 - pinned at the top of the troubleshooting section.

@bluestang On the Amiberry front, worried I'd have to go off and compile the binary and fiddle around with symlinks and that kind of thing. Turns out, just reinstalling automatically builds the SDL2 version.

Screen tearing I was seeing in Redream seems to be eliminated! Gonna test out Flycast some more too to see if performance has improved.

Oh great, thank you! This is my first real try with using RetroPie so I'm not familiar with some of how it works 😄

@Kaydron said in Emulation game-start scripts folder:

I will be reading into shell scripting a bit more to hopefully eliminate questions here relating to shell scripts. If anyone has a couple sites that would be good reference paste them here.

The canonical reference is https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/, highly recommended for anyone starting or learning Bash scripting.
