@thorndike said in Joystick configuration on Atari Fight Stick:

First, when configuring the joystick through emulationstation which set of configuration options should I use to configure the joystick? The first set of directional inputs, or those farther down in the configuration menu?

You can use both to navigate EmulationStation, but most games expect something similar to a D-Pad (the first), so I'd use that.

I am currently using the first set of directional inputs but the joystick is very sensitive. If using the other directional inputs don't make a difference is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the joystick?

You can try to increase the deadzone for the joystick using evdev-joystick , a command line utility.

@mitu great!!! i change "retroarch-core-options.cfg" and now it work!!!! really thanks @mitu

About the automation, yes I want that implemented in the main app too someday. Just in case you did miss it,

I actually did miss it. Thanks for the directions.

managed to resolve myself.
Apparently these are just warning messages and are only preventing successful compilation because of the -Werror flag in the makefile. Removed that flag and it now compiles successfully

After my genius idea to delete all stuff in this discussion, which only cause trouble and chaos, I figured out to do another attempt and post again. This is version 2 of the little app. The gui and commandline are streamlined into one app. The commandline options are flexible now and it supports a configuration file. Unfortunately in GUI mode only one patch file at a time is supported (but I think this is not a real issue and is a limitation in GUI only). And it can create output folders too. Updated the first post with all relevant information.

It started out so simple.

@mitu

I do. Will it go away when it's unplugged?

@mitu I was running a normal XOrg session before (which is the default on PopOS), but running emulationstation in a Wayland session worked! Unfortunately, Wayland is pretty unstable in PopOS, but maybe it will work just for running retropie.

In case anyone runs into the same issue, you have to enable Wayland as described here and it will work.

@Clyde said in Linux - script to batch convert PSX bin/cue to CHD:

You might want to expand it to extract ecm-compressed files

I'll drop just another one-liner here that decompresses all .ecm files in the current directory:

for i in *.ecm; do ecm-uncompress "${i}"; done

Please note that you might need to install the ecm tools first via the command sudo apt install ecm.

Sharing is caring. Thank you.

None idea, but also https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and update with more information.

I think Ubuntu wouldn't allow it since it was a 'hidden' folder.

First time I hear this kind of - obviously wrong - explanation. Check the permissions on the folder and make sure your $USER owns the folder where the scripts are saved. You don't need to use sudo to edit something that's in your home folder.

Could also been something I mucked up; since I installed using net-inst, I checked the permissions and they looked fine.

Does updating RetroPie works ? If yes, then you're connected to the internet. You also have a 'Show IP' entry in the RetroPie system in Emulationstation that can show you if you are connected to a network (LAN).
