@KN4THX
The problem it's not the hotkey, a lot of NES games use the select button for doing things in game.
I'm a medium-skilled developer, with some guidance on the retropie bluetooth scripts and stack I could write myself a script which does in background the pairing procedure again, at least with one model, the SN30.
If someone is willing to help or pointing me to who ask questions to, i'll be happy to try to write then publish such script.

@DimaKompot I will try that

Glad it worked out !
NOTE: I added some code blocks around the scripts code so it's easier to see and (maybe) copy&paste for future users.

@ExarKunIv Thank you for this post!! Agreed about the lack of volume control!

@mitu Thanks, that works

@Toad That worked, perfectly. Thank you!

@bombers821 it is illegal to sell retropie especially with roms already included. 3rd party images are not supported here. If you would like support here you will need to download the official supported image (https://retropie.org.uk/download/). If you want support for you're current image you'll need to ask the person who sold it to you for help.

Ah, so it's not the RetroPie system that you cannot see, it's the EmulationStation menu. Did you, by any chance, switched EmulationStation to Kid mode ?

Fantastic! Thank you to both of you for your responses.

AARM is a great tool! Exactly what I was looking for.

@webodan I found my own solution in this github post. All it took was adapting his SwitchToKodi script to kill Xorg after emulationstation was dead instead of having a user switch.

@dankcushions said in Best way to set up multitap?:

@lesk no, each system page in the wiki will have specific instructions to set up multitaps for a given system. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1#multitap-3-5-players

Sorry for late reply, but thanks! As I understand it, for the playstation you have to do some manual changes for each games that dosen't support analog etc.
But for Snes, Nes, Sega and Arcade I can just go in via the retroarch menu while playing a game and add multitap support and core save.

@mitu oh, ok, i just fixed it by editing my sudoers file.

If the emulator itself doesn't implement bezels, then there's not much that can be done to externally overlay an image, since most emulators need exclusive/fullscreen access to the video output.

I just created an account on screenscraper.fr . I edited the file with my login info and now it seems to be working for the most part. However it only missed a few games?

Maybe I did the scraper thing right?

@sirhenrythe5th yeah just bear in mind if you're going the CD32 route, that you'll need a lot more storage as they were stored on CD. The games will go from being a few meg in size, to a few hundred meg per game. Not all games were released on CD32 (about 175 in total i believe), but you have that guarantee that you have a console compatible system doing it that way, and you're gonna have more buttons than a zipstick say.

***I am using an oem nintendo wii sensor bar that was modded to work in a standard usb A ports and NOT a Dolphin bar. This was done by cutting off the wii proprietary connector and soldering the wires into a usb A connector as well as removing 4 LEDs out of ten to bring the voltage down to under 5v. It works perfectly fine for wiimote tracking.

Almost all the guide I see for using wiimotes in lightgun games such as duck hunt use a dolphin bar and not a standard wii sensor bar. why am i using an oem sensor bar? because the dolphin bar went way up in price after the tariff war with china, and I have quite a few oem wii sensor bars so why not.

Have you figured this out yet? Using wminput method I was able to get the wiimote to work as a mouse tilt wiimote up and down side to side left mouse button mapped to wiimote button b and right mouse button mapped to wiimote button a. the other buttons and d pad on the wiimote are mapped to keyboard keys. No thanx to the guide I followed which you referenced here with the 3 different methods on it.

You have to read up on the wminput github page as to how to get the wiimote to map as a mouse/keybpard vs a joystick. You need to use Plugin.acc.X = REL_X
Plugin.acc.Y = REL_Y and map at least a left mouse button to a wiimote button. This turns the wiimote into a mouse/keyboard configuration and this works in lxde in the Retropie menu and in the retroarch menu in game but wont work as a controller or mouse to use in games such as duck hunt.

I could also use the motion/tilt as a joystick input using Plugin.ir_ptr.X = ~ABS_X and Plugin.ir_ptr.Y = ~ABS_Y in the wii button mapping config file. This works in retropie menu and in the retorarch menu as well as being able to somewhat control a game in an emulator BUT still doesnt work as a pointer or mouse in duck hunt. So you still can't use it as a shooting device.

I have tried a couple different new emulators along with different configurations in retroarch to try to get this wiimote to work as a mouse in the duck hunt game. It works fine everywhere else as mentioned but not in the game. This is so frustrating.

@filippoaceto said in Install retropie on ubuntu:

Is there any way to install retropie on pi4 with ubuntu?

No, on a Raspberry Pi only Raspbian is supported.

@pjwentink We don't support 3rd party images and links to ROM sites are not allowed by the forum rules You'll have to ask the image author for compatibility and please remove the link to the image.
