@mediamogul said in Another Daphne joystick question...: Once it's better integrated into RetroArch, perhaps it'll be a non-issue. Oh yes, I'm hoping soo eagerly for this.

You are correct about the 49-way control, and yes it can be replicated. I'm currently using MAME-2003 and a PS4 controller. The left analog stick absolutely works well with Sinistar. When playing, gradually rotate the stick and you will see it handles more than 8-way control. FWIW: I couldn't get the same results with MAME-2003-Plus. I think it has special configurations to handle analog, but I never researched, as 2003 (standard) does the job well.

this might need a quirk fix. Can you post pictures clear ones of player one and two wiring for buttons and joystick

@Foxsec said in Joystick Conflicts: I was writing down every step and making a code box for everything that came up and I tried that rmmod that Mitu suggested and i checked the quirks file after and it worked! Both set of joysticks and buttons are now configured Thanks so much for your help guys, really really appreciate it :) thats wierd, for me it would not work with modprobe and i remember reading somewhere that it was supposedly blocked, but whatever. atleast it works for you now.

no problems at all glad it worked out :)

This guy here had the same problem and he found a way of making it work. Apparently the way to go is to configure retroarch to use a standard keyboard then swapping the real keyboard to the ipac. Over here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1722/if-you-have-purchased-an-ipac2-and-want-to-save-time

Thanks for your help and advice. I got it working on a config that isn't perfect in the menu, but works great in game. With the other system emulators working fine my only concern right now is the speed of the N64 games, and whether or not I want to attempt to overclock my Pi 3 B+.

Woo Hoo! The controls are now working for Archon and all the other c64 two player games. Dudleydes you're the man - Thank You!

@TheBlueBanner said in USB HUB not detecting Joysticks: https://thepihut.com/products/4-port-usb-hub-usb-2-0. So, I received this USB hub. It worked! The only issue I have is that there doesn't seem to be enough power going to the LED lights, and they are dimmer than what I would like. I am not sure if there is anything I can do, but it worked none the less.

I just added an exec functionality to my multiplexer: The idea is, to allow external programs to be executed on a button press. This can be used to enable/disable special functions which are triggered by external executables: Here is a demo and you get an idea why I need this functionality:

@naughtjosh How did you connect the controller to the GPIOs ? Did you install any of the additional drivers needed for such setup - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/GPIO-Modules - ? Simply connecting a few wires to the GPIO pins is not enough. Ideas that don't require any downloads? Set-up your PI on a location where you have internet, just in case you'll need a driver to be downloaded or use your phone as a WiFi access point.

@mitu I got it working after thinkig about it i thought the easiest solution would be to delete the software and put a new copy of retropie on it.

@leitmotiv You can use the same topic, it's up to you if you want to use another forum or not - you might try the AdvanceMAME forums.

Sounds like retrogame isn't installed, or it isn't loading when booting, or isn't configured properly. If you open the terminal (press F4) and push your buttons and see if the corresponding letters appear. If you see no letters when moving the joystick or pushing buttons, then retrogame isn't working

@BuZz I did

@werpu said in Universal emulator kill switch/exit button: If I had known that upfront this would have saved me an hour or two :-) It's always fun to do things yourself and tinker - this way you learned more systemd trickery :).

Great news well done!
