      @nylinmatt is this for all games or a specific one? One setting comes to mind though. Go into core options->input-> center joystick for digital controls -> disabled.

      @hellricer I was about to say that you might have overrides (reading your top post), therefore the diff output location
      on RA 1.15 the output dir is simply named records and the configs go to records_config folder (for example you can have custom config.cfg file in there.

      As per RA docs you need also to have custom FFMPEG compile with
      --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-libmp3lame options
      but this does not fix the hissing sound which I believe you hear when you start the recording.
      As you stated, the output file though is video/audio ok which I also confirm from my testings

      Since you say you tested all other options in video_record_quality, you can test this override config and retest

      Option 1:
      Edit your main retroarch.cfg file in /configs/all/ and set
      video_record_quality = "4"
      and save. You can do from network share or locally to the file if easier for you.

      Option 2:
      create a config.cfg file, in /configs/all/retroarch/records_config/
      and add the above line in there and save.

      If you compile the ffmpeg as per docs you can add even more settings to it such as:

      vcodec = libx264rgb acodec = libmp3lame audio_global_quality = 75 sample_rate = 44100 threads = 0 video_preset = ultrafast video_record_quality = "4"

      or just

      video_record_quality = "4"

      Then select in ra the file or again change in your retroarch.cfg
      from
      rgui_config_directory = ""
      to
      rgui_config_directory = "~/.config/retroarch/config"

      Forgot to add. If you use shaders you should also enable in either option the
      video_gpu_record = "true" default is false BUT i noticed with lossless it causing video stutter.

      Hello and welcome to this forum.

      Alas, you won't find much support for a third-party RetroPie installation here, because we can't know how much its makers changed the official installation image. On top of that, RetroPie's licence and the licences of many of its components don't allow commercial use, including selling it as part of a commercial product. The people who sold it to you broke those licences.

      So, you'll have to either ask the vendor about the problems with their product, or install the official image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/. In the latter case, you should make a backup of your old system and its games as described here – or just use another SD card.

      We'll be happy to help you with any problems you may have with the official image. As a side effect, you may learn a bit or two about the inner workings of the wonderful retrogaming box of bricks that RetroPie is. 👍

      Be sure to read https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to get more useful information to start in this forum.

      @dankcushions and @mitu I deleted my roms, and uploaded them using a USB drive creating a retropie directory, and everything is working now. I'm not sure what the difference between using SFTP and the USB drive is, but it's working now. Thank you for your help, and have a great day!

      Praise the sun, omfg this finally solved my issue. I've been slaving away at this thing for nearly half a day now trying to figure out why the controller suddenly stopped working only in PCSX and only in the game itself. Had to make an account just to say this.

      Ugh.. This thread should be immortalized in a polished block of marble. "Disable the Multitap BS..."

      @theissdev I should also mention that this was really my only issue in moving from the Pi 3B+ to the Pi4. Everything else was super simple. Ledspicer required a manual reinstall on the Pi4 simply due to being a bin exe, but that was really it. Most of the old -> new stuff (artwork, custom theme, etc.) all ported over w/ 0 issues. Def. worth the wait. Thanks guys!

      @danield420 well the black screen could be a bad rom or possibly a missing bios file. Sure there are other factors for the balck screen i'm still learning myself. This RetroPie Github page has helped me so much https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems .

      Or make another topic and i'm sure someone can help you solve the problem if you didn't already on your own.

      I know it's been a few days but finally found some time again.

      I'm looking at my /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg

      input_player1_b = "shift" input_player1_b_btn = "nul" input_player1_b_axis = "nul" input_player1_y = "ctrl" input_player1_y_btn = "nul" input_player1_y_axis = "nul" input_player1_select = "5" input_player1_select_btn = "nul" input_player1_select_axis = "nul" input_player1_start = "1" input_player1_start_btn = "nul" input_player1_start_axis = "nul" input_player1_up = "up" input_player1_up_btn = "nul" input_player1_up_axis = "nul" input_player1_down = "down" input_player1_down_btn = "nul" input_player1_down_axis = "nul" input_player1_left = "left" input_player1_left_btn = "nul" input_player1_left_axis = "nul" input_player1_right = "right" input_player1_right_btn = "nul" input_player1_right_axis = "nul" input_player1_a = "z" input_player1_a_btn = "nul" input_player1_a_axis = "nul" input_player1_x = "alt" input_player1_x_btn = "nul" input_player1_x_axis = "nul" input_player1_l = "space" input_player1_l_btn = "nul" input_player1_l_axis = "nul" input_player1_r = "x" input_player1_r_btn = "nul" input_player1_r_axis = "nul"

      This is what's exactly in the file for the button mapping for P1 and when I go into Super Street Fighter alpha 2 it doesn't work. Made a rom specific cfg too and still doesnt work. Now here's the super weird part ... tried Star Fox 2 and controls seemed to work fine. Tried Super Star Wars and same problem as SFA2.

      Edit: Also how do I go about reinstalling an emulator?

      @Norstein We don't support 3rd party images and links to ROMs/BIOS/copyrighted material is not allowed.
      Install the image from retropie.org.uk/download and configure your overlays there.

      @schmiddyman said in 2 joystick cabinet configuration issues:

      gpio=13,11,15,19,10,8,-1,16,18,-1,-1 gpio2=31,29,33,35,24,-1,-1,26,-1,32,36,-1,-1

      From a cursory view.
      Unless you used the hotkey-btn branch your provided list for gpio2 is too long.
      In your gpio parameters you provide 16 Pins/Buttons but initially you mention 15 buttons?!

      However, good to see you found a different solution.

      @timbone316 You probably have save_on_exit in RetroArch. Try to open the RGUI (Select + X) while ingame and disable this.
      To revert to the Mame2003 default retroarch.cfg file, re-install the package from the RetroPie-setup script.
