Setting controls for "Arcade" and Emulation Station not working help!
-
@ChristianG hmmm. I just did this myself with dragonrise usb encoder and had no issues. The controls are recognized as a keyboard basically and once i set them both up in ES, they work in the emulators, then i just go in and custom set them for each game.
when you launch your game can you press select and X at the same time and get to the retorach menu?
-
@TMNTturtlguy I can in on my keyboard but not on my controllers. When I get in on my keyboard during a game none of the retroarch commands work. They just say no info.
-
@ChristianG see your other post - it almost sounds like an retroarch problem. i have seen a bunch of posts about retroarch issues in the last few days.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Oh ok. Well I just downloaded a new install today. Is it possible it is screwed up?
My retroarch doesnt do anything. Just says no info on everything. Is there a way to update it ?
-
@TMNTturtlguy What command do I hit to reinstall all software for retropie?
-
@ChristianG for full instructions go to the documents on this site and read about updating.
Go to the retropie menu. Retropie setup. Manage packages. Manage core packages. Retroarch(installed). Once there choose to update. When it is finished exit out and choose to perform reboot.
-
@TMNTturtlguy ok ill give it a shot.
My whole arcade is pretty useless now. Crazy....
-
@TMNTturtlguy update from binary or source? I think binary no?
-
@ChristianG binary should be fine.
-
@TMNTturtlguy after you installed did you update all packages? That is typically the first thing you should do.
-
@TMNTturtlguy yes. Should retroarch say no information available when you hit menu items in it? I hit select x while in game to bring it up. if i goto the setting tab or any tab it basically says that. Nothing works.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Basically I can't configure anything even if i am in it.
-
@TMNTturtlguy is there code I can just goto and edit?
-
@TMNTturtlguy Does the Raspberry Pi3 have any internal memory? It is not remembering anything like controllers etc from past setups?
I don't know why no matter how many installs I am not getting a fresh start with everything working like i did before.
-
@ChristianG no the pi itself does not have any memory that stores info. If you do a fresh install there is nothing old stored anywhere on the pi or sd card. If you are using an external hard drive then the config could be on there.
-
@ChristianG when you go into retroarch do you go to quick menu, you should hit select x to go into retroarch and then quick menu and the controls. You should have a menu to set your controls there. You then need to save your changes to core.
-
@TMNTturtlguy thanks ill give that a try..
-
@edmaul69 Thanks for the info. I did a few new reinstalls on micro sd with formatting and writing the disk image. Once your in a newly installed retropie image, it asks for controllers so I add both of my one player and two player controls. Then I add keyboard. Everything works.
So once games are installed, what is the normal protocol to setup your joysticks etc in lets say arcade or nintendo 64? Should they be read because you set them up in Emulation Station?
Do you go to retropie/retroarch setting and adjust there or are you supposed to do it in game?
I must be doing something wrong here. Everything worked the first time i did all this until something went wrong. Now things are just not working in game.

Are you sure it's not just hardware issue? In your first post you said you reconnected some stuff. What controllers do you use?
-
@arkive if you keep reading he is using a USB encoder recognized as dragon rise. He also did a greasy install and full update. He had them working before. I also use dragonrise and I have a 4 controller setup and mine works great.
