@windg hoooo ok i thought it was fully supported and i even got the 64bit version of bullseye. Is there any way i could still have it working ??

Please add the rest of the info as asked.

@lovemehate said in No matter what image i use on RP3+ controllers wont get detected:

is this the same one that comes with Raspberry pi imager ?

Yes, Raspberry Pi Imager downloads the same images.

You can't copy your games directly to the SD card from your Windows system. What you're seeing is just the boot partition, there is 2nd Linux partition on the SD card which is not readable by Windows - this is where the actual OS is installed. To transfer your games over use one of the methods supported - see the documentation.

@mitu I DO NOT KNOW how to THANK YOU!
I know wife and i had made this image together for 2 years
and in a blink i messed it up i was so afraid to tell her lol
I can't believe it is back loading!

took your advice and went with the newer extras
I truly want to thank you kindly for your time
now i can back this up and have a deep breath lol

@Trendkiller-9 Glad you solved it :D

@ddragunsun The official pi4 power supply is usb-c 5.1V 3A. Not 12V. It will not fit on that particular board that requires micro usb psu. If you still get voltage issues with a micro usb 5.1 2.5A/3A then the board might not provide sufficient power. I'm not sure why the older micro usb port was used..maybe to save money on development costs.

Thank you ever so much. All is working properly now after setting up retropie-mount. Much appreciated

@RobbyThomas2525 Ok then, with a stock 4.8 image from retropie.org.uk/download EmulationStation works - did you do any additional configuration on your system, like installing an additional display driver or modifying the config.txt boot configuration file ?

That means pcsx2 didn't install properly. Try re-installing and then look in the last log file under $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs to see if there are any errors related to the installation.

@finopoulos90 Hello, I installed coin acceptor in my arcade cabinet with an Ipac2. Please don't connect 12 volt to the Usb Encoder. without a Zener Diode. Because of the same principle you have to use this schematic link from Ultimarc's website below with a Zener Diode (Coin Mech Setup tab)

Looks to be an issue with the joystick selection you've made. Can you disable/remove the joystick selection tool and re-try to see if the gamepads are working in-game ?

RetroPie uses the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image - if that will support GPT for the root drive (boot + root), then RetroPie will have no issues with it.

Since the current RPI OS images are using MBR, you'd have to re-partition your disc and copy over the files to the new partitions if you want to use GPT.

@venkman383 please provide more information

See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please give an example of a file that doesn't work. A logfile will be useful. Which ROM files did you install and to where? Which lha files are you trying?

@iandaemon said in Zero Delay USB encoder Joystick issue:

Depending on what country you live in it may be opposite with the hot/neutral wires. I'm in the U.S. and our wiring is opposite of China in terms of colors. (Here traditionally black is the hot wire; in China red is traditionally the hot wire.) This is for the buttons though.

FYI
The terms of hot and neutral only apply to AC. And yes different countries use different color codes. The encoders don’t use AC, but DC (the joystick switches can pass either or ).When it comes to DC, the standard everywhere, as far as I know, is red for positive and black for negative/dc ground. Just look at a car battery

@jonnyman if you're new to all of this i would recommend starting from the retropie image which has a much easier installation process and less room for error: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

and please supply all the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first when seeking support.

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you. That worked for me. I'll make sure not to change my login in the future -_-
