@djjujuvi Please click "Docs" above and do a little reading. Trust me--this will help you as much as it helps us. The Pi is a teaching/learning/educational device and we all use slightly different configurations, not to mention, we all have a different idea about what systems we want to run. The more you read the documentation, the easier it will be to provide information, find answers, and ask meaningful questions.

Hi,

I have followed much of the same process as on here, I have up/down/left/right/a/b/x/y all working ok.

Start and select don't work however. In the config file I have the following:

SELECT 6 # 'Select button'
START 16 # 'Start button'

I noticed in the list of commands does not include 'start' and 'select' (i looked at the kerTable. file referred to on adafruit tutorial) so maybe it should be SPACE and ENTER, I tried this but still does not work in emulationstation or when playing a game.

Any ideas?

I am just using arcade buttons and a joystick.

Just to check, does the part after the # matter? I thought this was just a reference in the code to the person reading it so they knew what that button/PIN did.

@donkey_on_fire said in Emulator not appearing in Retropie (ROMS added, Bios added, cfg file checked, etc):

Pre-made. Bought off eBay already set up (minus ROMS and two emulators I'm trying to install

They sold you retropie illegally https://retropie.org.uk/about/legal/ . You'll have to ask the seller for support as we have no idea what they have done to it.

@sciencegamer004 did you update your setup script before installing Raspbian

[OFF-TOPIC]
Sorry for being off-topic and unable to help you. But the "Zathura: A Space Adventure" movie was shown this afternoon on TV in my part of the world. It's an incredible coincidence or you were inspired by the movie you watched this afternoon... :-)

EDIT
Trying to make this an useful post...

I found this tutorial: http://berryboot.alexgoldcheidt.com/starcraft-on-retropie/

I didn't try myself, but I hope it helps you. ;-)

It's not a coincidence. I'm fully aware that "Zathura" is a ripoff of Jumanji, but I didn't know that back in '99 or '00 when I saw it on a library cart and chose it as my online handle thereafter. :p

@mitu By following the docs in the link I mentioned.

@ballboff I think that's kind of what he's getting at. We don't really know what customizations that particular build has, and how to revert them.

You may go to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and edit the main settings there, but do so carefully so that you don't break anything. The settings you may be looking for would have "overlay" in them, and probably there's one that says "enabled" which you do need to set to false.

If not there, there are different folders under /opt/retropie/configs/with the different emulator configs, but you'd probably be better off downloading a stock RetroPie image and start from there.

@edale Ok thanks. I deleted the link

Reload the image and do what @lostless said.

Before this we mostly played rod hockey and I had a rank/scoresheet I made in Excel which we kept posted to keep track of who was the best each month.

Every game on the snes mini runs perfectly fine on a pi EXCEPT star fox 2. SNES9x2010 runs some areas and a tad poorly with choppy audio and slowdown. Snes9x2005 runs it smoothly, but a tad too fast compared to a snes mini. Not that you would notice if you don’t compare. The pi has a rewind feature like the snes mini but super fx games struggle with it.

Thanks davj. This is exactly what I needed. I'm checking it out now and it seems very helpful. Even if not all of them will run properly.

haha, I was trying to install some cave shooters like dodonpachi daifukkatsu

got it to work using fba, thank you all

@vincentm638 videos are all outdated

@edale you can go into retropie setup in the retropie menu in emulationstation and not have to do it through command line. But it is not neccessary to do it at all to set up the 8-bitdo controllers. Depending on the firmware you are using depends on if you use the hack or not. You do not have to set udev rules or go into retropie-setup.

I know this is SUPER old, but after parsing through possible ways/threads to get a trackball working on MAME2003, I was finally successful (after 3 attempts where I gave up and just went with advancemame)

A) in retroarch-core-options.cfg, add:

mame2003-dialsharexy = "enabled" mame2003-mame_current_mouse_enable = "enabled"

I didnt verify if you actually need mame2003-dialsharexy = "enabled" but Im glad it is working

B) in /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg, add:

input_player1_mouse_index = "MOUSEINDEX"

Where:

MOUSEINDEX is the index for your mouse /dev/input/mouse*. I needed to test through a couple as what I needed to enter above, wasnt the same as the device's index. Unclear how these correlate Your retroarch config (in this case arcade) may be different for your emulator. Easiest way I know to determine the config is when its running ps -aux | grep retro and look for the program and its referenced config file

Ok, I will allow ssh access. Thank you again for your help.
