      Don't you just hate when you have had a problem for days and you finally ask for help, you happen to figure it out? I guess it's cause at that point you abandoned your train of thought.

      Anyways for anyone else trying to get the analog features working for farious SEGA games and rebind them for your flightstick or steering wheel I've made a little chart so you can add the rebinds manually

      Find your games keybindings file, as example i'll use Afterburner II on the MegaDrive. which can be found at: "/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/Genesis Plus GX/"
      In my case with filename "After Burner II (USA, Europe).rmp"

      Open it in notepad and adjust your keys, here is an example of the default buttons, with the A,B,X,Y buttons added, and the vertical throttle removed.
      I've also made a little picture you can use as reference, you'll find that under the code, it has all the numbers you need to use.
      That's all, have fun setting up your flightsticks and racewheels on a 16bit console.

      #Device ID for XE-1AP: input_libretro_device_p1 = "773" #Start and Select input_player1_btn_select = "2" input_player1_btn_start = "3" #A,B,X,Y = East,South,North,West input_player1_btn_a = "11" input_player1_btn_b = "13" input_player1_btn_x = "10" input_player1_btn_y = "12" #D-Pad is unused so lets add Select and Start to it incase your flightstick doesnt have enough buttons input_player1_btn_up = "-1" input_player1_btn_down = "-1" input_player1_btn_left = "2" input_player1_btn_right = "3" #Left Joystick input_player1_stk_l_x+ = "16" input_player1_stk_l_x- = "17" input_player1_stk_l_y+ = "18" input_player1_stk_l_y- = "19" #Right joystick (Throttle) input_player1_stk_r_x+ = "-1" input_player1_stk_r_x- = "-1" input_player1_stk_r_y+ = "21" input_player1_stk_r_y- = "20" #Left Shoulder buttons input_player1_btn_l = "10" input_player1_btn_l2 = "12" #Right Shoulder buttons input_player1_btn_r = "11" input_player1_btn_r2 = "13" #No idea what E1 and E2 buttons are for, but lets add them to the thumbstick buttons (R3, L3). input_player1_btn_l3 = "1" input_player1_btn_r3 = "0"

      you didn't fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first so i'm assuming that you used the official retropie zero image, so the default pre-installed ones should be the most performant.

      Thank you for that help. I never had a Genesis either, but that is what I know the machine as. I would definitely prefer to have the menu title say Genesis.

      I’m surprise nobody figure out how to run other emulators using blast16. Even loading cores in retroarch is impossible. 😢

      @respite If you don't like the GUI, then on the same page there's an explanation on how to override the controls for a certain system - MD/Genesis in your case - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#example-per-system-control-override-retroarchcfg. The file you need to edit is the retroarch.cfg in your /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive folder.

      I forget which emulator but one of them has a core option for 6 button and 3 button controls. The other just has some of the 6 button games working with 6 buttons and some are stuck on 3 buttons.

      Hi @psyke83,

      Thanks very much for your help with that ... worked perfectly:).

      I connected the keyboard directly to my pi and ran the commands that way.

      Really appreciate your help.

      Cheers.

      @simpleethat Hey sorry for the late reply.

      I’m just using the built in ES scraper ... nice and accessible. Has managed to scrape all of my games, albeit sometimes necessitating changing the source.

      Hey guys, yes I like that one too thanks @Stuart2773 but it sounds too much like the snes classic menu as I have the original on my Nintendo build already. I do like the one @Clyde posted but only like the start of it, I might have a play and crop and loop before it all starts going crazy haha.
