Ok, thank you for your fast response! I have solved the issue now! I found out that I was an idiot.. I'd installed the wires on the buttons wrong, which led me to believe that they were working, as they showed up. Tested it put with another wirering today, and it worked.

Thanks a lot anyway!

@BuZz ill keep an eye on it and try the other SD cards I have and repost if there are any similar issues, cheers BuZz

I tried this script but it is not stable and the emulation returns to the 1st screen

#!/bin/bash

This script will run a program in fullscreen mode (no borders or title bar etc) on a second monitor. It can used for many programs and on either the primary or secondary monitor

#This is the executable file or path
PROGRAM='emulationstation'

This is the output of wmctrl -l for the program that we are using

NAME='emulationstation'

This is the device name of the monitor we want to display the program on

DEVICE='HDMI-1'

If you want the program to be fullscreen on your second monitor this variable should be the width of your primary monitor

PRIMARYWIDTH=1920

Run the program , then wait a bit before carrying on If your program doesn't load in time then try increasing this value

$PROGRAM > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & disown && sleep 3

Set the Open GL environment variables Set the vertical blanking to on

__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1

And make sure OpenGL syncs the correct monitor

__GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE="$DEVICE"

Do we want a screensaver

#SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=0

Set the dimensions of the program in the monitor

wmctrl -r "$NAME" -e '0,'$PRIMARYWIDTH',-1,-1,-1'

Maximize it

wmctrl -r "$NAME" -b toggle,fullscreen,maximized_vert

@BuZz thank you ;)

ok i try now... i will delete es_input.cfg and follow your idea... ;)

delete es_input.cfg won't work. I tried so many times. The instruction above remove all the controllers.

i just follow your suggest.... in both ways, with 4 reboot...
reconfig first joystick... reboot... plug keyboard.. reboot...

in the linux prompt.. /dev/input/js0 is always the keyboard.... :(

any tips plz? :__

@caver01 I bought the arcade parts on aliexpress. They have pretty decent quality. They came with a usb board which connects controllers with Raspberry. All the wires were also included so it was just plug n play setup. I have spare iPac from previous project (that in fact was never completed) but it was easier for me to do it this way.
It looks like this:

@Citro Figured out the issue. Had nothing to do with the emulator; for some reason, the affected roms were 0Kb in size... not sure what happened, but when I re-copied roms to the Pi, they worked perfectly.

Thanks again @columboscoat

Well, I've solved it myself.
I put it here in case someone serves.

What it does when starting the emulator N64 is to restart the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi and the pins that are configured as output PWM are put to full power.

What I have done to solve it is to insert the following command:

Gpio -g mode 18 pwm

I put it inside the infinite loop that checks the temperature.

I hope that it would be useful to someone.

@zenamistress Please mind the language, we're trying to keep this forum an all ages place. Also, don't resurrect old posts - this is 3 years old post, a lot of things changed since then.

@Luca1 you do need to go into retropie menu and go into run command and disable joystick so you would need a keyboard to change video mode and emulator. You MUST do that before this next step. To remove the retropie menu you need to go to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/ and find the folder "retropie" and put something like an exclamation point in it. So it will look something like "!retropie" now they cant get into anything they shouldnt. Just remember once you set it into kids mode you can get it back to normal mode with the konami code by pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right b, a, start.

Any solution to this?

@KillerQ yeah, I get what you are saying. I actually use mine but I also enjoy the tinkering and set-up just as much, if not more!

@sdmods phone prank

@columboscoat thank you

ok, thank you.

Thanks for the help I got my USB HDD to be listed and accessable via my windows pc. the problem I'm encountering now is that the write speed to the hdd is only ~2mbytes/s . I wonder if there is way to fix this, this cannot be the maximum speed of the disk, something must be restricting or slowing down the transfer rate? thanks in advance.
