@willelind said in GPIOnext input works great during menu but stops working after game boots:

What did you mean by that? It seems that my input keybindings are from the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file, listed under keyboard, not joypad/gamepad.

Look in a verbose log and see if an additional joystick/gamepad input type is detected. It may be that GPIONext adds an additional gamepad device, even if you configure it as a keyboard.

@mitu Ok I have posted a issue.

https://github.com/jehervy/node-virtual-gamepads/issues/103

@Nash does xboxdrv have hotkeys, turbo, and toggle settings like antimicrox?

Made a post here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35784/does-xboxdrv-have-hotkeys-turbo-and-toggle-settings-like-antimicrox

@Isolved: the solution of the problem was throw away 2.4 dongle and connect gamepad through standard pi Bluetooth - work fine

I want to bring up this topic again!

As I have noticed from experience, at SWITCH mode sn30pro + retropie could has much delay! And it's awful :(

So, in 2024 year, could someone tell how to get work sn30 at XINPUT mode? ( with both working Triggers and "hotkey" buttons)

@mitu said in RetroArch UI - Gamepad issue:

My advice would be to back-up your current retroarch.cfg and use the RetroPie default one (retroarch.cfg.rp-dist).

It works now. Thanks
The problem seems to be from the new retroarch.cfg file . With no retroarch.cfg file, it works well. When I reinstall retroarch, the new retroarch.cfg file create that problem. I don't know why? Probably, a new setting create that

NEW EDIT:
In the new retroarch.cfg I changed all_users_control_menu = "true" for "false"
and now everything is fine. That was the problem.! Don't know if other people got this issue, but on on my side, this solved the problem.

Thanks a lot for the support !

@mitu I tried the testing through gpionext testing 1 & 2 for each gamepad, all the buttons were picked up properly. I am still getting the same issue however. When I go to set up my gamepad, despite the fact it says 2 game pads detected, when I hold down a button to being set up, it comes up as keyboard.

@waterslip said in Unable to play 3 or 4 players on Emulation Station Arcade:

The menu's are the same and it was installed as per documentation.

No, they're not. Your screenshot show a heavily customized RetroPie installation - that's not what a default RetroPie configuration looks like (even with added games). You're clearly using a 3rd party image, for which - as @Ashpool mentioned - we don't offer support.

Issue with mame2003-plus has been corrected. For anyone following this, Update from source to receive the update.

that worked. THANKS!
yes it was 49686 for product id but i had a typo for vendor id, that's 1133 instead if 1133.

Thank you very much!

@vic-viper-001 Well, now I feel like a complete moron. All I needed to do was re-install LzDoom, and overwrite the new lzdoom.ini with my old one.
Everything works again like it's supposed to.

@roslof Ah OK, that was it! My version was just called "Bolo" and the crack was by Trystan II. Seemed to work fine except for the the joystick. When I tried the 4AM crack, it worked!

Thanks!

Answering myself, because I'm an idiot. Sorry.

In the emulator's settings (on the GUI) I had to (re-)assign a correct mapping for pause.
It had kbd.esc and two other weird keys from the controller assigned to pause.
I assigned the button behind/below the right shoulder key to pause, no idea what those are called.
Which in my case resulted to the following in controls.ini:

[ControlMapping] ... snip ... Pause = 1-111,10-197 Rewind = 1-67

So, 10-197 is the key that was missing.

@mitu
Thanks for all the help, I finally figured it out. There was a directory config overwriting in the folder with the bios config, when I removed that one my own configs worked and everything is now perfect.

@mitu said in Creating a custom SDL2 gamepad mapping?:

Try maybe adding the export command to $HOME/.bashrc.

That also worked from terminal but not from ES.

So what I think is happening is this: autostart.sh is called from /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh which runs as part of /etc/profile. Then once that's complete it calls .profile and .bashrc.

But since the environment var is set in autostart it is perhaps disconnected from the profile service and so maybe the variable is local only to that shell. So it works from inside ES but when I exit ES and the autostart shell terminates, the var goes away and it doesn't work from terminal.

When I set it in .profile or in .bashrc it works from terminal, but these aren't processed until after ES exits because that's part of autostart which happens while /etc/profile is still going on.
