@mitu Thanks Mitu! I always appreciate your quick and spot-on assistance!

I see that the lr-caprice32 has support for m3u playlists - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32 - so you can create a .m3u file containing each game's disks. Emulationstation doesn't know - yet - how to handle those files and it will not show them, though. If you use the lr-caprice32, you can create your custom es_systems.cfg - see here) - and add .m3u as known extension.

@markwkidd thanks. Actually, it might be something that we can solve on our end on autoconfig. Adding the following to the mapping on /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads solved it: input_b_btn_label = "Cross (down)" input_y_btn_label = "Square (left)" input_select_btn_label = "Select" input_start_btn_label = "Start" input_up_btn_label = "D-Pad Up" input_down_btn_label = "D-Pad Down" input_left_btn_label = "D-Pad Left" input_right_btn_label = "D-Pad Right" input_a_btn_label = "Circle (right)" input_x_btn_label = "Triangle (up)" input_l_btn_label = "L1" input_r_btn_label = "R1" input_l2_btn_label = "L2" input_r2_btn_label = "R2" input_l3_btn_label = "L3" input_r3_btn_label = "R3" input_l_x_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Right" input_l_x_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Left" input_l_y_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Down" input_l_y_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Up" input_r_x_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Right" input_r_x_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Left" input_r_y_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Down" input_r_y_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Up" input_menu_toggle_btn_label = "Home" There's a repository with lots of these mappings here, following @mitu 's thread (thank you!): https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev So it's probably something that's RetroPie-specific for now. Thanks both.

@johnes Did you configure the controller in Emulationstation as described here ? This should get you the proper mapping in Emulationstation (i.e. Start brings up the ES menu, Select the edit menu, etc.). Please add more info about your system - as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - and specify which version are you using and which emulator do you have the behaviour your're seeing for the extra buttons.

for the future i now know the es_log.txt file could be interesting to have a look at first. Thanks

@mitu Thanks a lot, all is clear.

@quicksilver the “home” button is called “the globe”

What music do you mean?

@chubsta It's definitely the images causing an issue, especially if you have a lot of games. All of my Pi Zeros have this issue and I no longer use the videos. If you try another theme or change the UI theme settings to BASIC (I believe) you should see it become very responsive. The Zero is a minimalist board when it comes to resources but it functions extremely well for all of the systems I run on it.

@dankcushions These "mini" themes work perfect! I never thought of using 4:3 themes or were aware of them; it fixes the distortion problem and now everything's proportional, thank you :)

@darknior yeah but i dont see it happening i have over 100 ports

@almulder Collections are automatically generated, so there's no similar sorting option.

Thank you for the support! And I agree with you... a couple of theme's would be elevated to a new level (like Pixel). Cheers,

I would like to use combo inputs but I am not sure how since doing it in the emulation station menu only allows single buttons

@red2blue You to update to RetroPie 4.4 first.

@downup The closest thing is setting all_users_control_menu = "true". However, this would obviously mean that all users would be able to control the menu and not just player three. However, you could unbind the controller mappings for all RetroArch functions and map them solely as keyboard keys. Then players one and two wouldn't have access from the controllers, but anyone using a keyboard would.

@drakaen391 About your posted codings.... Does the wait command works in your case? @mediamogul and his while-loop by monitoring PID status is imho better ... wait can only be used on child processes out of the own subshell

Ok the correct way is: Turn on setting mode Do a reset Go to Setting up the soft dip > Slot 1 Metal Slug> Turn on blood Navigate back and select exit It should display DIP SW 1 OFF!!! or so Then turn off setting mode in rgui Edit: It should create a .fs file in the romdir.

Thats weird, I did try and delete /home/pi/cfg/default.cfg it even says it's autogenerated. Regardless deleting it now it works, thanks a lot :-)
