@omission229 The question should not be will it work, in electronics the question should be how can I make this work? The only limiting factor is your drive to learn and how much work you want to put into a project.

@jhstoke what image did you install? please fill out all of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

config_hdmi_boost is ignored for raspberry pi 4 btw.

@retronaff i figured it out -- if you have a keyboard plugged in, you need to go into your RA settings and change your joystick to your Playstation controller instead of keyboard.

@mitu so i was able to get it working by importing the gpg key.

all is well!!

@rott42 said in Cant get 2 games running, killer instinct and wind jammers:

@adambegood KI 1&2 run for me on lr-mame2003, but graphically compromised, slow and lag. I use pi4.

Fair enough - I thought there was certainly some issue with them.

Sorry for providing hints into wrong direction. I must admit I did not follow the portable devices section of Nintendo HW well.

The mappings for N64 are described in the emulators doc page - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/. If you wish to change it, you can either use RetroArch's input remapping for the lr-mupen64/lr-mupen64-next emulators or editing the InputAutoCfg.ini for the standalone mupen64plus emulator.

Oh, right. Sorry I forgot .-.

Thank you, by any chance do you know a different bluetooth controller that's cheaper than this?

@kurnis

please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first when seeking support.

you're on the right track - you need to edit the file. this is the way to change the hotkey combos.

I have tried the file manager in retropie but when I put in sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Microsoft X-box 360 pad.cfg
the file comes up blank.

wrong path. it will be within /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

what is returned if you input the following into the command line?
ls -l /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

i am guessing your path is

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/Microsoft\ X-box\ 360\ pad.cfg

note you need slashes for files with spaces in them, or you can surround the whole path with quotes)

also, you shouldn't use for sudo for this kind of thing. no need.

Are you sure you downloaded the right image for your system ? The 'illegal instruction' error at the top makes me think you downloaded the image for a Rpi2/3 or Rpi4 board.

@jambo069 said in Flycast hotkeys for retroarch:

So should I just delete the retroarch cfg and see how it goes?

Rename the retroarch.cfg from the dreamcast system (/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast) and then immediately re-install lr-flycast, this will re-create the default configuration for the system.

What exactly 'not working' means ? EmulationStation doesn't start ? Games aren't working ? Installation is not completing ?
Please add more details about your setup, including the Ubuntu version and hardware details.

mmmmmm... slowly i begin to understand better how all works :)

@quicksilver They are! more so than i thought they'd be. It's not ready for prime time to the extent that all the titles seem to have slowdowns or small rendering issues, but so far Scud Race, Sega Rally 2, Virtua Fighter 3 and Spikeout have all been immensely playable.

@jimiretro Usually you get a message only on errors.
If the mount command worked, then check if the roms folder is populated, then start EmulatonStation.

@oathbetrayer The Docs have a section for getting started. You don't need NOOBS for RetroPie, you can just flash/install the latest image and it will be enough to get you started.
