@Agustinb14 said in Controls don't work in retroarch or in console games:

I can't seem to be able to bind 2 different hotkey keys for my controls but that's ok. At least I can play now.

Only Player1 is able to access the hotkeys' functions - P2 cannot control them (including opening the menu). Glad you got it working in the end.

I got it working with gambatte. This will work for me. Thank you for your help folks! I appreciate it!

@Efriim there is a better solution. Buy a dolphinbar and sync it to that. Remove all syncing of it previously done on the bluetooth first.

no, there are still some bugs concerning 1.7.7. on the pi.
AFAIR Retropie itself will be updated to 4.5 as soon as retroarch 1.7.7. is stable on the Pi.

@Shortgaze
ps3 controllers are good, windows drivers used to be hard to install.

My problem with arc arena, I tried the usual things including HLE bios but I didnt get a full reset for it to work because of autoload. I didn't think of deleting the config, doing so changed the default system directory to the content folder so no BIOS was found and so it loaded the HLE and worked. System Directory was the first setting I changed back, and the controller stopped working when it loaded the SCPH bios again. Anyways thanks.

Thank you for all the guidance. It appears all is working well.

@mitu Saw some feedback on it in my searches..Thanks for confirming...

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

@quicksilver that sounds very right, it happened with the update to retroarch 1.7.6.

I was able to fix the install with the instructions on that link. Thank you.

Well, thanks for coming back with the solution and happy gaming.

@theguru , thanks. My advmame files look like that as well. For some reason the trackball coming off the IPAC2 control board is always the default P1 gun cursor control. No matter what I set in the advmame file. I'm going to fool with it a little more tonight.

As for FCEUMM, that makes sense. I backed up my image today so maybe I will update to 1.7.6 and see what happens. It's always fun breaking stuff.

Thank you very much, it works. Now the only thing left I need to know is, can you change the deadzone amount of the left analog stick somewhere? I know you can change it in the option for ingame movements but it doesen't apply for the menu navigation and when I move up and down it often register a left or right movement and messing up my settings.

UPDATE: Nevermind I found the settings in the config folder inside zdoom.ini

@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.

@leitmotiv said in No retroarch for TI/99?:

Anyone know a workaround, or if ti99sim will eventually use Retroarch?

That's up to the emulator author to decide or another developer that can contribute the necessary code to the Libretro project. The RetroPie project bundles the emulators, but does not develop them.

@mitu

I think I got it. I deleted this file and all is good:

@mitu said in RetroArch isn't mapping the GamePad buttons correctly - RetroPie 4.4:

OK, just one last check - you modified both the retroarch.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and the gamepad.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads and put input_driver=sdl2 ?

Awesome that seemed to fix the problem!!! :-)

It seems that I missed input_driver in retroarch.cfg. Previously I only changed input_joypad_driver

So for others who might be having the same problem.

Make the following changes:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

input_driver="sdl2" input_joypad_driver = "sdl2"

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Gamepad.cfg

input_driver = "sdl2"

Thanks again for all the help!

@mitu It does actually makes sense. Thanks for the advice!
