@petrockblog said in Have I fried my Controlblock (or Pi5)?:

@StuMcBill If the Pi does not respond to a power button event, I would look for

The connection between the button and the ControlBlock: Do you see the same behavior with another button or, for example, just by using jumper wires like most simple buttons? The ControlBlock service installation: Does the ControlBlock LED stop pulsing and switch to a steady on state after booting? If not, the ControlBlock service is not running properly for some reason. The ControlBlock configuration: This is rare, but sometimes the power switch functionality is not enabled in the ControlBlock configuration in /etc/controlblockconfig.cfg.

Perhaps these items will give you a clue as to what is causing your observation?

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I've not tried this, however, I have tried directly connected to GPIO of my Pi5 and my Pi4 - same behaviour - Controls work, but Power doesn't. I will check this I have tried toggling on and off in controlblock configuration - no change

I'll report back.

@Retrodade What kind of Repository do you use for "retropie-extra", this ?
I think this works fine (but I haven't tested yet Philips CDI games):
https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

But I tested it with many other emulators like:
"AetherSX2 - PS2 Emulators" runs in 60Fps with my Pi5.
"Sega Supermodel 3" runs very well with my Pi5.

Start a PSX game with verbose logging enabled and post the log file here using pastebin .

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks sleve, typo on my side in the post. I was using "\". tried without the c$ as well. I installed winSCP and it popped up right away. Transferred all my files that way. Thanks!

@mitu
It works again. I re-install PipeWire and AudioPulse from rasPi config and everything works great. thanks for your support

@petrockblog Thanks for the reply.

Shorting the wires (just touching the signal and the ground together) doesn't solve the problem. I should have mentioned earlier that the controlblock works perfectly with my pi2, but I'm trying to upgrade.

I can't get the jtest to work. I can't find the command in /dev/input.

The more I'm playing around with this I think it is a problem with my retropie install, but I can't figure out what

@sleve_mcdichael Sorry about that, and thank you for your help. I will attempt that today!

@shift

Thanks, good to hear.
I am playing with it a bit and I could add it for more drivers this way from EXTRAS.
I will see how it evolves.

@mth75 Hi how you manage to run the games at full screen? Using box86wine from pi-apps also,Everything I run it's on a window
Thanks

@mitu its not hard in the sense its difficult to do.

i say its hard to plan for what might change to get other things working as you(the devs) go through and get everything underthe hood working the way you want them.

and yes probably nothing is going to change that much that it will happen, but there is a chance. that's what i mean by that.

for me, who it not program savvy as the rest who make scripts and stuff. it will frustrate me that the time i spend was for not, if it broke once the official release comes. again that's just me, and how i am

@retropieuser555 Do you have this with any specific game that i can try ?

Anyway, i test with Daytona (USA) and the game is running at 60 fps. Before test i update core packages, system packages, emulator. My resolution is 1360x768 and i am using the default settings of the system.

@yserra your .conf file doesn't look complete. I'll post mine when I have a chance for comparison. It may be beneficial to start a new topic however since this conversation doesn't really fit with the original topic.

@mitu I followed the exact steps here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35355/unable-to-set-control-mapping-in-dolphin-dolphin-emu-not-loading/8?_=1714924854335

and it all worked but I was left with that login screen.

I reverted back to my SD card backup just before I did those steps and followed the instructions @abj gave me above and it worked perfectly fine!

@mitu said in Emulationstation Controller Button Mapping Question...:

Try re-installing it.

That fixed it. Thank you.

@i2047 so i had the same problem, but fixed it. the way i fixed it was instead of doing the lite version of RPI OS i did the desktop version and it worked.

@sleve_mcdichael That did it! Didn't realize there were additional entries we could've added. It now properly shows the "Sega Genesis" title on the screensaver for genesis/megadrive games. Thanks!

Here is another suggestion to help speed up AetherSX2 that I discovered today:
