@smilker I mean you really don’t need a tutorial, I think your making it more difficult than it needs to be. Plug player 1 one encoder up to port 0 The player 2 in Port 1 If the player 1 controller is working and you set it up right on initial boot, then all you need to do is hit either select or start (can’t remember which one) and go down to configure inputs. It will say 2 controllers detected, hold a button on the player 2 controller and set that one up like you did the player 1 controller. That’s really all there is to it.

@mitu Hey thanks for your help, I actually have solved the problem via first installing raspbian then retropie following the video below after installing with NOObs and now I everything works as intended. Still have no idea why the boot didn't work for me but at this point I am more interested in relaxing and playing some lovely 8bit games on my Picade. May be I can bump this later on when my curiosity kicks back in. Have a great day.

That did the trick.....installing lr-flycast, the controls working perfectly. Thanks!

@Schonarchy Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@sexbeer It only works on lr-beetle-psxwhich only works on an overclocked pi4 and pc's right now. In the future, it might be fast enough to work on a pi3b+.

only 0 and 1 are registering in your config log file. If your happy using advanced mame just use that. I find stand alone emulators more pleasing to use as well :).

not all arcades use a separate joystick for player 2 they are turn based. What emulator are you using and what game? Need to debug ifs a joystick issue or not.

@Efriim said in PS3 Controller RP3+ issue: sudo rpi-update ok so I didnt have time to mess with this for a couple days but I started this morning by simply typing in sudo rpi-update and rebooting. bluetooth worked perfectly again on PS3 controller. Thanks for your help. If anyone else has this issue I would do this first and pardon the ignorance if this was obvious.

@donuteater154 Please add more info about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Did you update to the latest version of RetroPie and also updated the OS and packages ?

@granderjoree There are several scripts that can work like you want Here is a topic ... in your case use the multi-switch.sh --generic command https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21992/onoff-latching-switch Also a good tutorial https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/14537/tutorial-adding-a-dedicated-on-off-switch or here a combo with reboot and poweroff https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21932/solved-how-to-make-a-momentary-push-button-that-exit-games-and-take-me-back-to-game-menu

Got it working, should have explored the set up more to see I needed to install the USB ROM service. Thanks

@mitu Rebuilding from source fixed the issue. I have a feeling that when RetroPie 4.5 comes out I'm going to have to do a fresh install, my days of doing the updates and ignoring the "this isn't compatible with Jessie" warnings are numbered. Thanks again all.

it was a lack of .bin files, found a huge PSX games pack online somewhere in the correct .cue format.. but had no idea it was the .bin file until i came across it on another forum a few hours after posting this so thanks guys :D

I am having the exact same issue with my Kintaro Kuma 9000. I'm using a retropie image that I downloaded from arcade punks. I had originally used another image which did not have these power issues and booted up fine with the power buttons and showed the red LED light. But then I switched to another image and now have this exact same problem. It starts up and then right when the splash screen ends, it shuts down. Did you ever get a fix for this issue?

@MarkHighPeak Can you add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

@Dwarfboysim hi all anyone got any ideas?

@lostless nahh, im not using filters i am aware of that, i have my pi hooked up to a crt direcly, i just have my boot config modified, so i have menus ate 480p and that switch for game to 240p. something like this https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8476/retropie-240p-15-khz-rgb-scart-tv-guide/2

I was having the same problem so I started a segaCD games in verbose mode and noticed that it was looking for the BIOS in the segaCD roms folder instead of the BIOS folder. This was on a new machine I was setting up on Ubuntu 18.04. Not sure what has changed that made it look to ROMS instead of BIOS folder.

That's fine, but please use a more meaningful title for your help requests in the future, instead of forcing potential helpers to look at it just to see what it's about.

@mitu thank you Mitu! I had a look in the errorlog of runcommand, it seemed to run well for what i read. But i have to admit that i dont unterstand every single term that was logged. I will post it tomorrow, i am at my girlfriend right now preparing hannuka-prrsents for tomorrow evening 😊
