Hm, seems like the the hid_nintendo driver has some issues with the 8Bitdo pretending to be a Switch Pro Controller. Thanks for the investigatio and write-up.

Generally, users use the XInput mode for 8Bitdo Pro(s) and use the hid_xpadneo driver, probably that's why there haven't been so many reports similar to yours.

@sleve_mcdichael thank you
I have learnt a good lesson today
I do really appreciate it

@mitu Yup, that did it! You guys rock at patching this. Thanks a ton!

@gare You can get RetroArch to run in verbose mode by choosing to launch with verbose logging. Seems like an issue with the audio - perhaps PulseAudio/Pipewire gets stuck ? Does it happen also with standalone emulators (i.e. Mupen64plus or PPSSPP) ?

@mitu

Apparently i have reinstall all package manually from section "core" (retroarch, emulationstation, retropiemenu, runcommand and latest joy2key).
Apparently retroarch and emulationstation it's recompiled from source........

When all procedure it's completed all games back to works........

If i found some core present a similar issue......... if not update it's ready i go to reinstall/recompile manually from source and see if back to works.

I have just found the issue whit Retropie_setup script and joy2key apparently not works if i launch it from emulationstation..... but i have already reply on other thread about this specific issue.

@mitu it seems that in Debian (LXQT) this issue is not present. I think i'll just switch to it. I assume that this bug is related to the GNOME desktop environment

@queenkjuul said in EmulationStation becomes unusable / registers no input after exiting game:

Is it possible to configure both keyboard and gamepad input for the menus?

Yes.

Thank you both.

Your comments lead me to explore the emulator settings more and I found that it was set the keyboard for control. As soon as I set it to controller all the settings mapped correctly.

The issue will be fixed upstream, one way or the other.
As a temporary workaround (until this fix is merged), you can try installing libhidapi-dev manually and then re-run the installation from the RetroPie-Setup script.

@samsunix said in Retropie menu components not opening vol 2.0-2023:

I hope retropie devs have not drop x86 support (4steamlink) just because they think there is either lows end pies or high end desktops and nothing between.

Steamlink is not created by RetroPie, but by Valve. If you wish to have x86 support for it, they're the only ones that can make it happen - but I don't think this will change at some point. There are other streaming solutions for x86 - like Moonlight.

@mitu said in Error when I try to run Emulationstation on ubuntu 18.04 desktop:

DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0 emulationstation

that worked thanks

@Gabbo999 you can install the desktop environment packages from the server install. Eg. Installing the ubuntu-desktop/xubuntu-desktop package (or another of your choice)

Run the script with the debug options from the terminal and post the output:

/opt/retropie/admin/joy2key/joy2key_sdl.py kcub1 kcuf1 kcuu1 kcud1 0x0a 0x20 0x1b 0x00 kpp knp -d

What's the exact version of RetroPie that are you using ? What Ubuntu version are you using ?

@lexieye you would just need to add a PCSXR entry to your configs/psx/emulators.cfg file. See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/#step-31-launch-roms-with-the-runcommand-script for some details (it's in the context of adding a new system but you can add a new emulator to an existing system in the same way.)

I'm back my friends............ I thought it was right to change the thread title.

Now this thread contain a lot of usefull information can be shared to anywant try to add some Hypseus/Daphne games on your Retropie Setup.

Exactly how i have do whit my lol :)

About recent news........ Dragon's Lair 2 and Space Ace now can be played correctly on my Intel NUC Retropie setup.

About 'lair2' i have also add a movie/audio whit better quality........ and also for lair2 i have add a lair2.commands contain:

-x 1920 -y 1080

Now i can play at "Full HD" dragon lair 2 - time warp on my Full HD TV...... lol.

Now i have need one suggestion....... about space ace 'ENHANCEMENT' rom.

My principal question it's...... how i can know what exact .m2v and .ogg files need ??

Another question it's......... about subfolder need to create in roms i can use every subfolder i want or every games need a specific folder name ??
For example:
Dragon's Lair 2 currently i use 'lair2.daphne' and 'lair2.zip' for roms
Space Ace i use ace.zip for roms (that contain the A3 roms) and 'ace.daphne'

But for example...... if i want to add space ace enhacement what folder i need to use ?

It's exist a hypseus .DAT for know if i have or know all files need to have to play a games ?

@KM_64 Gnome with Wayland seems to suck with Ubuntu 22.04. Any other Wayland environment does not show this problem.

@dookieshooter You should delete/rename es_input.cfg and then re-install the emulationstation package, this would generate the correct es_input.cfg file. You'll have to re-configure your controls next time ES boots.

My test Ubuntu 22.04 system was also upgrade. Since 22.04 sets Wayland as default display server, you may be missing some libraries needed for CSD. Try installing the libdecor-0-plugin-1-cairo package and see if - when using Wayland - you get the same error when starting a SDL2 application (i.e. EmulationStation or gnome-terminal).
