@chunger I have the same doubt about this issue, what have you done?

I apologize, I guess my configuration information would help troubleshoot this issue.

I have searched the forum and have not found a fix specific for the xbox one controller. The basic issue seems like I can not point this emulator to use the xbox one controller configs. So if we can figure out how to get libetro 2003 to use the same controller mappings as mame4all we will be golden.

Pi Model: (B, B+, 2 B etc..): Raspberry Pi 2 -Model B - Version 1

RetroPie Version Used: 4.1

Built From: Using base 4.1 image from retropi website download link

USB Devices connected: Keyboard

Controller used: Xbox One S - Connected by USB

Error messages received: No error message. Can not back out of Emulator

File: (File with issue - with FULL path): no exactly sure what file is having issue with the configuration. My guess it is one of the files in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig or /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/

Emulator: (Name of emulator - if applicable): Mame-libretro 2003

How to replicate the problem: I was able to replicate by doing a complete reload and taking the base image 4.1 offered on the retropi website. I was still unable to configure libretro to work. When I got it to work earlier I must of done some global configuration to get it to work because I was in Mame4all and then went to libreto and it worked. Eventually something happen to muck up my controller configuration.

i use the dual shock analog triggers for pedals, the problem i have with dual shock is the dial is hard to map except as left-right buttons. Worked great with the positional sensor in the dual shock 4, but the driver for that sucked up over half of my cpu

I'm back again trying to scrape MAME. Using the options available in the latest version of USX I'm still getting a simple gamelist without all the extra bits. Has the database been updated any with the information on clones/etc yet? I know you said this was in the works before, but this thread is 8 months old and I thought maybe SOME progress has been made...

@Thorr69 - Just to add to that I think the folder change was to correct a Retroarch Netplay issue and not so much of a core or RetroPie issue/change. If you're using an older version prior to 4.5 like 4.3 or 4.4 it will probably still use the old path unless your update RA then the new path will apply.

Thank you. I have spent like 3-4 hours, deleting folders, configs and formatting/restoring backups and it only boiled down to that one option that I completely over looked.

Dank: I'm using the arcade folder. Can I delete cfg files in there instead?

Trix: I'm able to set the movement as something other than arrow keys and it works fine... so that tells me there is an issue with the arrows

@gunpadawan Now it's throwing this error:

pi@retropie:~/gunconf $ python setup.py install
running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/test-easy-install-1018.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

@csetera I think it's best to use ADVMame for ALL vector games. I recently tried it and the resolution is a lot higher making the vector look crisp, and mouse/analogue works with all appropriate games.

[Redacted]uses the 0.164 romset for all of their MAME files, so don't use them (none of the pi emulators use that romset, AFAIK). Giving out links to roms is a strict no-no on this board (for obvious reasons). My best advice is to learn to torrent. That's how I've acquired my MAME and FBA romsets.

@UDb23

Perfect!!! It works again!! thanks for the reply!

@BuZz

Updated my script, re-enabled art and all is good now. Thanks a lot for your help as always, both @BuZz and @dankcushions.

I feared people were going to assume it was a configuration issue my side, so i'm glad you guys checked it out.

Cheers

I should have looked harder. I found the clarification I needed. Those options are saved by design:

@BoogieMan core options are managed from RGUI (select+x) -> quick menu -> options
They are saved automatically.
See documentation for more info on using retroarch.

if you use the arcade folder i think it's either in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/ or /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/nvram/ - probably the former if it was set via the MAME ui.

but, to avoid doubt i would back up everything in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/, as you probably want the stuff in the other folders anyway.

I've given up and gone to windows

yep :) i found that out too, sorry i didn't think to look for that. they still would not exit even after the move. here is my file for
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg , which is my 2 player joysticks/buttons . they both connect through a usb circuit board, plugged into the pi via usb.

i updated retropi via the menu system to the latest version. it added new items as well in emulation station i see, such as msdos.
