@Darksavior said in No lr-* emulators run: @Skreelink said in No lr-* emulators run: LXDE I'm using raspbian lite. Never used the desktop environments. Usually when I run emulation station, I'll hit ctrl-alt-F1 to move to tty1 and do "sudo service lightdm stop" to kill the desktop environ before running emulationstation. Edit: Ugh, one of the worst parts is having to compile the entire thing since they don't have binaries yet. Trying a clean lite SD card now.

Finally I removed everything and reinstalled retroarch and I will take a pack made for retropie, much simpler

@bishop Thank you, that was the answer I was looking for. I'm still unclear on other things relating to updating Retroarch but this isn't the topic for that. Pretty cool that this is added to Retroarch now though, and it sounds like 32X and SEGA CD support is in the pipeline over on RA too, so definitely looking forward to that being added to Retroarch in the future.

A down vote for my post because I explained the RetroPad concept :D At the moment the only solution to the problem is to create 2 retroarch.cfg associated with 2 different systems (that launch the same core) present on es_systems.cfg. One starts with remapping associated to joypad 1 and the other with the second configuration associated to joypad 2

has there been any progress on this front?

@mitu I enter retroarch and from the content folder I search for roms just like any platform. I run the lr-pcsx emulator and the game starts. There was once a case that when I started the game from the retropiece position, the image to the left of the screen completely narrowed me. I could not restore it, but I succeeded ...

@m2306 Mame2003plus started to use analog as default for some reason. Change it back to digital in retroarch.

IT WORKED! Sorry for wasting your time bro. :(

@polish-potato said in Keyboard won't bring up retroarch menu.: Edit: Only the NES emulator does that for some reason. Ah w/e it works. :) You might have saved manually the RA config in RGUI for the NES system, overriding some of the configuration that RetroPie sets automatically. You can check that by looking in \\retropie\configs\nes\retroarch.cfg - if it's a large file with almost all RetroArch options, then you've saved it - or reset it - from the RGUI. To make the keyboard and gamepads work at the same time, I think you need to have menu_unified_controls = true in the config file.

Yeah I like the keyboard one better, but maybe someone has some advice if this is still possible with the joystick type. I would think it would be but who knows ;)

It's OK I found how to have the Kempston Joystick at the start of Fuse :) you have to add the following line input_libretro_device_p1 = "513" to file /opt/retropie/configs/all/zxspectrum/retroarch.cfg

@ksuquix since there is no official release of Retropie for the Pi4 yet, I doubt you are going to get much tech support at this time.

@NINJAcupcake798 drastic is not open source so there is currently no chance of a libretro version. However the main dev for drastic posted something recently that he would be open sourcing drastic after the new year so there is some hope that there may be in the future.

@BuZz That was exactly it at least for me and your question was all it took to figure it out. It did something to mesa/nvidia drivers in general and i realized i was in a "I dont know wtf that repo did" situation. I ended up nuking it finally tonight (been super busy lately) and removed that ppa from my script entirely..My fault! I kind of wonder what the other guy did and it would be great if he posted if he figured it out for someone else later on down the line because it may be different from my situation.

UPDATE: Not sure how it happened, but the keyboard was no longer "configured" in retropie. So I re-configured it as a controller... and now my keyboard is working for both the Atari2600 and 800. I am able to use the old school joysticks for gameplay, with the keyboard for the extra buttons. So to tweak my question... for those of you using older joysticks with limited buttons, what's your favorite way to handle those extra buttons for emulators that need it? Use the keyboard and label those weird buttons (like Option, difficulty, etc) so others can play without you babysitting? I saw someone solder buttons onto the atari joystick to handle those extra 2600 buttons - that seems aggressive! I was thinking of a small, wireless keypad (like this: https://www.amazon.com/Jelly-Comb-Financial-Accounting-Extensions/dp/B078XQR7R6/) that I can label to make it easy for others. Thoughts?

@mitu I don't have triggerhappy on a Playstation Classic, but it is linux and has a systemd. There is with "Network Command interface" also "Command interface" support but I don't know how to use this, I guess maybe echo a command at the process?

@mitu I will definitely look into this. Thanks!

@granderjoree I don't think that's possible either. The input_exit_emulator_btn can only have one value.
