@dipkid Poor SNES, now it’s just a boring emulation box with input lag and no cart support. I always wonder what people do with the original OEM board. I assume they throw it in the trash since they never mention anything about it.

This should help:

The problem if i recall correctly is that the second player is player 1 in that game. Some emulators fixed it but some didnt.

@polygaryd you were replying to a reply from 2 years ago, from a thread originally started back in 2016. it's not helpful to bump ancient topics because they can contain a lot of outdated/wrong/irrelevant advice. if you have an issue please post a new thread.

Oh! I never thought that this can be the solution. With another USB-Cable there is absolutly no problem.
Thank you very much!

To expand further on my above statement, I've found you really only start to see the hardware's limitations on either more advanced systems such as Dreamcast or N64, or if an emulator is still experimental and not properly optimized for the Pi architecture yet such as Sega Saturn or 3DO emulation. I find the lack of 3DO emulation particularly perplexing since it is about equal in complexity to the Playstation and also less powerful (Playstation emulation also works well on the Pi2 and Pi3 by the way). I'm just chalking it up to a lack of popularity and public awareness so it has not been a priority for devs.

Assume you mean the backplate 3d file? If so, here it is:

If not let me know what you need

I had a similar thing happen, but with 32x. I deleted the retropie config file for 32x, uninstalled the emulator from retripie set up, and uninstalled retro arch. Then I reinstalled retroarch and the emulator and all is well. You may have to reconfigure retroarch settings

When I washed the retrobright off of my nes I ruined the text from the lid :(

@halfdaymatt

hello i have the same problem or should i go to see if it has the duplicate configuration i am lost:

Searching online this afternoon shows that a lot of people seem to have trouble with the low price Mayflash adapter. Raphnet Technologies BRD-4NES4SNES seems to not only work better, but the site expressly discusses use with RetroPie and even has addressed some of the issues people have encountered when using with RetroPie. I just ordered one and it should be here in a week or two.

I was able to create a Symlink with an udev rule but have no clue how to create a joystick profile for the created symlink with emulationstation.

It was a fresh install yes. I did have the xbox driver installed for a while but then ended up uninstalling that reverting back to xpad. I dont know if that helps. As far as editing config files directly the only thing i did was in relation to that xbox driver to flip A and B for nes games. That has been reverted with no ill affects i can tell and like i said the xbox driver uninstalled and reverted back to xpad.

@klay824 Glad to know that you managed to fix it, albeit in this radical way. I gave up and jumped to Recalbox for the time being, I found it to be more user friendly to someone as useless as I am in Linux.

@briankross Check it out:

I think this will solve your problem. ;-)

Thank you!

For what I want to do, it looks like I just need to configure this once and I'm good to go. When I unplug and replug the SNES gamepads, the first one I plug in is Player 1, next is Player 2, and iPac 2 is always Player 3 which seems to be just fine for MAME and navigating Emulation Station.

Woo! Thanks again!

Lol. Know what you mean!

@Pifan - I pulled the trigger on it a couple weeks ago actually! It's going pretty well so far. I'm taking my time and documenting a worklog over at bitfix gaming.

@aaaccc1

Remapping the core controls will not affect the the main control configs at all. Rather, it will create a new .rmp file that will be automatically loaded everytime the core is loaded. Should you ever decide to switch back, you could just return the core remapping to it's original state by changing the controls back and saving the core remapping again, or if you don't happen to remember what they, you can always just delete the remapping file altogether. At that point, RetroArch would have no remapping file to load, leaving the original control scheme in tact.

@deadpool There's this section in the retroarch.cfg

# The maximum rate at which content will be run when using fast forward. (E.g. 5.0 for 60 fps content => 300 fps cap). # RetroArch will go to sleep to ensure that the maximum rate will not be exceeded. # Do not rely on this cap to be perfectly accurate. # If this is set at 0, then fastforward ratio is unlimited (no FPS cap) fastforward_ratio = 0

I don't know if this is a very healthy setting to be using, or how much it even effectively speeds things up. There doesn't seem to be a way to get the really zippy frameskipping fastforward that you find with a lot of pc emulators. At least, I haven't come across it yet.
