      Is the controller configuration saved in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads ? Do you see a .cfg flie there for the controller ? If yes, can you post the contents of the file surrounded by code tags here, in the topic ?

      @i2047 so i had the same problem, but fixed it. the way i fixed it was instead of doing the lite version of RPI OS i did the desktop version and it worked.

      Hi! I just ran into this myself, and thought I'd post this for anyone else who had this issue to give an alt method, If you want to configure it with the GUI (which may be easier). It takes a few steps, and you will need a mouse.

      install Desktop in Raspconfig
      2 use the dekstop terminal to run QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu
      3 configure your controller
      4 important- while you are here, configure your hotkeys as well. Dolphin does not recognize the normal hotkey /exit button, it uses its own.

      You can edit both GC and Wii controls this way

      @guestdreemurr how are you trying to install? RetroPie has to be installed within a preinstalled supported Linux OS (Debian/Ubuntu/Linux mint etc).

      See the instructions in the docs https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/

      @mitu

      After some testing it disconnects when have rumble enabled. Without rumble no problem at all. It only does that when in use. The problem starts when it have rumble enabled.

      I have notice this also. When in dualschock mode on retroarch it disconnects far more times per minute from when having on standard mode which seems to be working with less rumble effect( probably one motor is working not both like on dualshock)

      Regards.

      Yes. That was the problem. Unfortunately, Duckstation is a little slow and will not let me double the resolution. Something about those Square games. Alundra 2 runs great, but still can't double the resolution. It fixes some minor graphics issues.

      Hey!

      Many thanks to both of you for your feedback!

      In the end, it was the Raspberry Pi Imager tool that got the job done - excellent!

      Unfortunately, the weekly builds link didn't work for me, the same problem continued. I also, out of curiosity, tried Firefox (as was trying Safari and Chrome) and pressed the resume function every time the download failed along the way - that method completed the download.

      Anyway, thanks again for your help re the Raspberry Pi Imager help! :)

      @glovewithsauce said in "No Document Element Found" and "No Space Left On Device":

      I actually tried to write my own Retropie card before I bought one, but I had to add the bios for stuff like the NES, and after a few times, the Retropie would just brick itself, and I have no idea why.

      NES doesn't require BIOS, unless you're talking about FDS ?

      but in any case, games not loading on standard retropie is something we can support and help you with, but pre-installed cards is something we cannot, so please don't purchase another of those :)

      @shotokan the script maps the gamepad inputs to keyboard codes. The inputs used are ['left', 'right', 'up', 'down', 'a', 'b', 'x', 'y', 'pageup', 'pagedown'] and are mapped to the codes given as parameters.
      So left= kcub1, right= kcuf1, etc.
      The parameter codes are given as terminfo values, listed in https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcurses/terminfo.html.

      @babyboodle said in PulseAudio unable to connect; poor emulator performance issues and menu crashes.:

      reset to default settings

      If you have reset RetroArch to default settings in the RGUI and then saved the config you have probably set non ideal defaults. Our defaults are not the same as the RetroArch defaults. You should remove /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and reinstall retroarch from "Manage Packages/Core Packages"

      @quasimaddboy neither. They mean the script itself. From the main menu (not the "manage packages" submenu), choose Update (updates the setup script and all installed packages) or Update RetroPie-Setup script (does what it says on the tin, updates just the setup script but not the underlying packages. The first one takes a lot longer.)

      lr-gpsp is already installed on the image for the Pi1/0 that you download from retropie.org.uk/download.

      @theretroprince
      Thanks for your reply. I'm thrilled it's working as it should. I have encountered a new problem when exiting a game before going into the game. (Press key for menu and exit without launching). I'm going to try troubleshoot this before I have to come ask here for help.

      You guys are friggen awesome. Thank you!
      Until next time...
