I have a DragonRise Inc. USB Encoder and haven't had any issues mapping the buttons in Retropie 4.6 on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB

the config is here ...

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg

and inside the .cfg is my button mapping

input_device = "DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick "
input_driver = "udev"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
input_l_btn = "0"
input_load_state_btn = "0"
input_up_btn = "10"
input_left_btn = "11"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "11"
input_select_btn = "6"
input_right_btn = "9"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "9"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_y_btn = "4"
input_x_btn = "3"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_down_btn = "8"
input_start_btn = "7"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_a_btn = "2"

@simpleethat I'm using the RPi 4. Thanks for the help got it working perfectly with the text editor on the OS.

From my brief usage, it scans whole systems (folders) of ROMs.

@naLnoc Skyscraper or Skraper are good options, ARRM also works nicely.

I love the search function.

Just wanted to say this helped me get my Windows 10 build scraped! Thank you! 🥂

@deadherring When you're in the gamelist, you can press Select and you'll be presented with a Options menu.

Press (A) on the _Edit This Game's Metadata` and you have the option to scrape the game you have selected, including editing the name of the game (this only works with TGDB right now).

@chubsta You should give Skyscraper a try - it's part of the RetroPie script, just like Steven Selph's scraper - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper.

@mitu i read it but was unsure as i really dont want to scrape each emulator seperately as per ( Skyscraper -p snes -s screenscraper) suggests. also i was wondering if that same thing could be done from the graphical interface. If not what command syntax would i use to scrape all roms/emulators?

Originally i think i used the built in scraper from emulationstation and it scraped almost all of them but this time it did barely any.

@clyde Haha! Thanks for the kind words, but I'm still learning all the bash/shell ecosystem :P

I've used everything.
SSelph is fantastic but has limits, no way to scrape computer systems, horrible snaps for Arcade with all the filters, they are not those you get with other programs and same source. Overall great and fast for console.
UXML scraper is very good but incredibly slow on server. Work only on Win.
Skyscraper, i don't get much the hype, it's good and you can run from Pi terminal, so is slightly fast (not much) and give some very quality snaps (i don't like the cover mix layout), but he missed roms often.
Skraper - Very very good, it's fast but got some problems with some formats, like pbp (very slow), some miss here also, but generally is accurate, and great snaps (those you get around on pre made packs and images, mostly), works only on Win.
Internal scraper - It's pretty horrible, unstable, very low accurate, everyone hate it, but is functional and easily will get the spot, as long the filename is very true to original. Lot of errors - I prefer wrong snap than empty space - i don't recommend folder and overall scraping, very, VERY fast after last update. I would keep it as a last resort, but it has its advantages.
