@dboy2 The configuration of the gamepad is stored in a .cfg file, which can be found at \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch-joypads. Open the file with a text editor and post the contents, surrounded by code (```) tags, in the topic.

@dankcushions

ok i did that, i hope it fixes it

@Ryan78134 Just so you know..if you buy a Raspberry Pi 3 you can play dozens of systems/handhelds/arcade boards/computers..but ps2 is out of its reach. PS1 works fine and N64 is hit or miss.

I know this is an old post but it's the only one I can find that has a similar issue especially with SNES. I'm assuming it has to do with I have donkey Kong rev a and the the image for the bezel doesn't have that name

@mitu Thanks for the addition, I forgot to mention that.

@Addison As mitu said, my tip doesn't apply to HDMI, sorry.

However , thinking about it a bit more, the higher the voltage and lower the amps, the less the resistance of the cable/fuse causes issues with heating etc, and lower voltage and amps cause higher heating due to resistance,

since polyfuses (according to wikipedia) "trip" from the heat build up during use. The lower voltage and higher amperage would heat it more, thus making it "trip"

Ah thanks! Makes sense. I'm from the UK, so grew up with the PAL version.

Can somegive tell me which PINs to use from the original SNES Reset button, so I can solder 2 wires and connect one to GPIO17 and the other one to GND of the Raspberry?
I don't know which one is which one and am unsure if the picture is correct or not.

@MrPrecise There are several forks from the orignal repo. But I can not advise which of the forks is the best maintained (as I do not use it actively), maybe someone else of the community here can provide a hint which fork works the best with a current RetroPie/ES.

thank you sir that has worked. i didint have both clock pins going to the pin 19.

@ruckage nicely done and good find with the shorter cable - I'm gonna pick one of those up for myself.

@backstander
It's the layout of most PS3/4 fighting stick (including Hori).
But Retroarch has a native option to switch to

Y X R1 R2 B A L1 L2

Very useful for street fighter like controls :)

I agree they are missing some classics. For 20 or so older legacy games it seems to expensive. I already have all the exact games running on the Pi but for the people that don't like messing with this type of stuff it's a good deal I suppose. A lot of people play around with my Pi setup, love it and ask about how it works but where the rubber meets the road they don't have the time, patience or know-how to build one and just prefer the plug-n-play. I see the NES classic edition is going for around $250 US on eBay nowadays, sad but true! :)

Bump for update of original post.

Well done man, well one.

I went with the 8BitDo FC30 Pro and NES30 PRO
I really like the controller, but I didn't realize it would be so small (it is actually the same spacial size as a WII PRO controller, but the buttons are smaller)

The only problem I have.. is I think games are recognizing it as 2nd Player.
I was using a PS4 controller before, and just plugged in and set up a FC30 PRO, but when I start any game up.. it won't let me hit start... yet it works perfectly in the RetroPie screen.

@rbaker
As in playing the roms for consoles outside of the zip file as opposed to inside the zip.

MAME roms have remain zipped due to the game actually being multiple files workign in tandem. While roms for home consoles are single files held in a zip compression, and can be played either zipped or unzipped.

@dankcushions said in Any performance difference for playing console un-zipped roms?:

i guess it might take 0.1 seconds to load the whole thing into ram rather than 0.2 seconds :)

Yea, I assumed the whole program was running from ram instead of constantly referencing the compressed file... but wasn't sure, so I thought I'd ask here if there was a performance difference.

Though I've had seen some threads on reddit talking about how certain games only seem to run when not zipped.

@obsidianspider Lol, the only thing I can recommend is the app Babbel. But not sure if they have Japanese yet.
