The old standby that everyone always recommends for the Pi is this one. I've used it myself in the past and it always seemed to work well. Currently, I use an iPazzPort model that eliminates the trackpad for an airmouse, making it even more compact, but currently it doesn't appear to be available anywhere.

@Zigurana Thanks for the note. I have pages that are quite similar!
I have done the index and the reordering. It works for the most part. However, notice how your volume command /usr/bin/amixer sset PCM,0 2dB- references PCM? That will fail on my USB because it is looking for HEADPHONES as a controller name. Sure, I can simply adjust my volume commands, but it is the embedded calls to PCM that would generate errors and for some emulators, I would get no audio. Perhaps I need to find another USB Sound card. The problem is that "amixer controller name" is not usually in the documentation!

I am having this problem too and its really frustrating!

Fantastic! Thanks guys for the help! I'm yet to finish my bartop but will soon begin with setting up RetroPie and your advice will help.

@applePie unlikely as it would mean having to build things to use pulseaudio, which is not desirable for most users.

Perhaps it could be optional for retroarch, although I have not tried pulseaudio with bluetooth - if you are having trouble on the desktop, it's likely something we can't fix (related to bluetooth stack etc). RetroPie is just a system to install/configure emulators, we don't interfere much with the basic OS.

@PoppyC You won't get very far trying out random roms on various mame emulators - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2357/boot-directly-to-mame-rom/ (for launching a game directly)

For menu - You can remove all emulators except mame and ES will then only show mame, but you will need to press a button to enter the list.

@petrockblog said in setting controlBlock service to gamepadtype: mame ?:

Yes, it will exactly do what you have written.

Thank you for your reply!

@ar.olivesilva

Another option instead of removing it would be to have a Runcommand System Splashscreens instead:

This looks really cool if you use it in conjunction with the Pixel Theme for EmulationStation:

@BuZz Oh, I don't know how I could have missed that, feel kind of stupid now.
Thanks.

Note - please see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and format your posts with markdown (logs / configs in code blocks please).

you should also provide details of things like retropie version / and platform when posting.

If you were originally asking about how to make this edit, then the file in question is located at /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. /boot/cmdline.txt is also referenced as well.
