@plwiatt The Pi detects player 1 as joystick 0 and player 2 as joystick 1. Have you tried just plugging into the other port of the adapter? From what you're saying, it looks like you've got the ports mixed up and are plugged into the player 2 port.

@gojira said in Official screen AND hdmi:

My goal is to make a mini gaming machine that I can use "portably" as well as plugged into a monitor.

I am also trying to do this! Did you succeed? If so, I'm very curious to hear about it!

You're welcome, I probably spent about 2 hours on it before I realised that my cable was the "wrong" type. :-D

Si

Thanks! It fixed the issue.
But somehow my SNES/NES and Master System scrapes are gone.... no images, not text.

game boy + gba is still there... very strange!

@obsidianspider i think most prints shops is totally cool with it. I would even think its legal for personal use. Depends on country i guess.

@dipkid Poor SNES, now it’s just a boring emulation box with input lag and no cart support. I always wonder what people do with the original OEM board. I assume they throw it in the trash since they never mention anything about it.

Thanks everyone. I reinstalled retropie and all is smooth again. Not 100% sure what was causing the conflict.

I have posted a solution/ workround about this topic in another thread.

Hope it helps

The 'Generic 104-key PC' would likely be the best model setting. Also, the keyboard layout settings are all set to UK by default, so if you need anything else, select 'Other'. It appears as though the Rii i8 has an AltGr key on the right, so 'Right Alt (AltGr)' is applicable to you as well.

Ok, that gave me pointer to look for what x86 packages I had on the system, looks like mesa-utils as from www.deb-multimedia.org was causing all the problem.

Removed the foolishly incorrect repo, RetroPie-Setup --> Install Kodi worked perfectly.

Quick note - I needed to change

input_player1_l = "q"
input_player1_r = "w"

to

input_player1_l = "("
input_player1_r = ")"

as q and w are used for games with more than 4 buttons such as Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Will the quotation marks causes any problems for retroarch anywhere else @Floob

Thanks again

I think you will be better off asking here:

I've not really looked at the structure of Recalbox before.
