@chaoseffect said in lr-flycast new GitHub repository source for setup script?:

I have ports 1 and 2 set to "keyboard" in the RetroArch menu, and I think that's it for keyboard settings. The keyboard works fine for me for player 1, and I was just curious if this update would bring a core option for keyboard indices so that a separate keyboard could be used for player 2.

I think that's the RetroPad -> Emulator core part settings, i.e. the core expects a Keyboard type input from Port 1 (2), the Device -> RetroPad mapping is done by RetroArch.
Usually 1 keyboard can be used for 2 players (as explained here), but I'm not sure 2 keyboards can be used independently (via dev index, how gamepads are handled). This depends on the input driver used, I know some of them don't support it (like Windows winraw). RetroPie should use the udev driver, so it might be supported, but I don't have 2 keyboards right now to test.

@mitu Thanks!!! I will try this :P

I'm not familiar with Pegasus, but I don't think that it's limited to 'command line' , it should work in the desktop env. It may need a configuration file to start ?

I have found the holy grail in this repo line:
https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/jsfuncs.sh#L345

Basically in order to change the index, we should just edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg at this line:
input_player1_joypad_index = "some_index_number"

or whatever input player you want. NOTE: i didn't tested it yet, but this might work.

@greenhawk84
I remember reading in the github page somewhere there was an update involving the joy2key package and you may need to manually update this package.

EDIT: Found the related thread:

How exactly did you check the memory? Fake cards report a bigger size than they actually are. You'll only notice it after you write more than their actual size to them, as the exceeding data will be lost, often without any error messages if the fake card was done well.

If you can boot to RetroPie's command line, you can try to install the tool f3 and test the card with that:

sudo apt install f3 # install the tool cd # change to home directory makedir test # create a test directory f3write test # write 1 GB sized test files until the card is full f3read test # read the files' test patterns rm -r test # remove the test directory

It will test the actual amount of data that can successfully be written to the card and read again.

I make sure to keep a backup of my build as an image file incase my kids mess anything up.

I also disable the launch menu for the games in options run command.

And for mame I map the mame config menu to the keyboard as they don't use the keyboard.

And using kids mode.

I ended up making a seperate kids only setup and getting my kids a pi of their own and backed up their setup so if they do somehow manage to break it I can just rewrite the image.

They didn't want much content just some of their favourites and kodi

@mitu : Thank you very much. After installing Joy2key, the navigation works again with the gamepad. Thanks for the good advice.

This usuall happens on the Pi4 when you're using a 4k resolution, for some reason the setup dialogs are not properly displayed.
Edit the config.txt file on your SD card (you can edit it from a PC) and add 2 lines at the end:

hdmi_max_pixel_freq:0=200000000 hdmi_max_pixel_freq:1=200000000

Try booting again your RetroPie system and see if you can open the setup script or raspi-config.

@bytethis

i just buy a new 64gb microsd for a backup cause my hard disk with the backup of the microsd left me 2 days ago.

Sure, no need for a hurry.

Gemba created this issue in RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup open inifuncs.sh: using basic RE to allow meta-chars in keys , eg. +() #3349

@mitu This was the fix, thank you! I think this might have been a remnant of my original setup cause I was having some HDMI issues with a black screen initially.

For some reason this fix broke my audio, but I was able to get that working again after about 30 minutes of tinkering.

Thanks for the assist!

@philcomm Hello Mr developer, thanks for the clarifications, i will test your script as soon as i move my installation from an sd card to an SSD.

@fulviolcabrera Open the Retroarch menu and select Options. Make sure Screen Orientation is set to Horizontal.

Ubuntu 20.10 isn't supported on the Raspberry Pi by RetroPie.

@popegg235 said in Can't find Drastic emulator for ds:

can anyone tell me what's the name of the drastic emulator in the retropie setup script and where i find it????

The name is drastic, it's in the experimental packages section.

And now I was also able to connect the controller!

Thanks so much, topic can be closed.

@codafire for mame 2003 you can enter the mame menu by:

pressing tab on a keyboard. retroarch main menu-> quick menu-> options-> display mame menu-> enable

Then go under input general and change your key presses how you like. The top option will toggle the mame menu and the service buttons 1 through 4 can be set bellow as well.
