Gamepad buttons stop working in retropie-setup 4.2.12
-
You made a few mistakes. Try this
cd RetroPie-Setup sudo git reset --hard origin/masterThis should reset everything back to normal.
To revert the faulty patch:
cd RetroPie-Setup sudo git revert 96e6efca4649d03e93f1ded04539034a9c8d2353(Yes, press ctrl+x to complete the revert)
Once you've reverted a commit, you will have trouble updating the script, so re-run the same "reset --hard ..." command once more to undo the revert.
It's not necessary to perform a reboot -- just make sure you're not already in the RetroPie-Setup script's menu in another terminal or via the ES interface. If you are, just quit and relaunch the script.

Bombed on the first part.
pi@retropie:~ $ cd RetroPie-Setup pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo git reset --hard upstream/master fatal: ambiguous argument 'upstream/master': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' -

Damn, sorry. Refresh the post (was supposed to be origin/master just as I wrote in the earlier post).
-
:) I thought maybe so. :)
Ok. Bombed on second part. :) Guessing I need to "set my identity" with those commands? (Cannot paste full input string for the revert command.. "Akismet" blocks it)

Ok.

- Works in menus.
- Still doesn't work when launching ROMs.

So I think we can surmise that the button mappings don't work correctly because of my patch, but the runcommand issue is not related to my patch.
-
Well, edmaul69 did say he had to reinstall runcommand after the revert. No idea what is affecting that, but it worked fine prior to the setup script update. :\
-
Went back to "normal" with sudo git reset --hard origin/master.
Then went into setup and did an 'update from binary' on runcommand.
Then rebooted.
Ugh.. pressing a key when launching a game still isn't working. (though, it does work on 2nd controller. :P)
Seems I am not in a good place. :( -
I can't run the git revert in either putty or real terminal. Putty says some crap about inputting my email with root and real terminal just flat out tells me revert failed.

Use the config commands to set your email/name and those get resolved. :)

For what it's worth, I am having the same issue, I think.I'm on 4.2.12 on my SFC pi with a raphnet USB SNES controller adapter.
I was trying to install lr-snes9x tonight and while I can use the D pad in retropie-setup, I can't confirm anything or exit out of it. I tried plugging in my second controller, but no dice. The controllers work just fine in emulationstation and in games.
I also cannot get the runcommand menu to come up when a game is loading. I used to press
Abut no action buttons are triggering it. -
@mrpotato I'll keep at it. so far it's not seeing the email address I put in. This is just ridiculous that I have to do this at all. Still getting revert failed.
Edit: actually, I give up since there's not much else to do. I'll wait for 4.2.13 or whatever officially fixes it.
Edit2: for whatever I was doing, seems the problem is fixed despite getting revert failed. -
Considering @Darksavior having a bit of success, I updated to the newest revision of 4.1.2, which as of right now is (bda4718) and the problem is still present.
-
I've unplugged one controller. With a single controller, I have most functionality. Obviously won't work long term since we use both regularly, but at least I can rock it solo for now.
-
Can someone with the controller issue please test this modified script?
Enter the retropie-setup folder:
cd RetroPie-SetupUndo any changes if you followed my prior steps to revert the commit:
git reset --hard origin/masterFetch and apply the patch:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/psyke83/9a0b31bcd8f43d16d081462363741f35/raw/4ce063642e9088c3faa541d965d439d50c951101/joy2key.patch patch -p1 <joy2key.patchIf everything goes as expected, you should see:
patching file scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand/joy2key.pyIf there are no further messages/errors, then the patch was applied and is ready to test.
Slightly OT: guys & gals, try not to complain too much. The Pi itself is supposed to be a hobbyist board to encourage people to learn Linux & programming. That may not be your intended purpose, but keep an open mind. If you don't want to go near a terminal, leave it to someone else to test & and wait for the inevitable fix to be merged. The problem was my fault, but I don't have a second pad available so it's difficult for me to reproduce the issue.

@psyke83 I'm using a backup I made last month and with just updating the script to 4.2.12 to introduce the bug, I ran the patcher and did nothing.
-
@darksavior You mean it didn't fix the problem?
Once the patch is applied you still need to enter the retropie-setup menu yourself.
-
@psyke83 Yea, that's what I meant. The patcher did do the patching, but it did not fix the problem.
-
Please try the second patch:
cd RetroPie-Setup git reset --hard origin/master wget -N https://gist.githubusercontent.com/psyke83/9a0b31bcd8f43d16d081462363741f35/raw/89fae3f4a7a6309fd7cc5863ed62f245f84c729f/joy2key.patch patch -p1 <joy2key.patch -
@psyke83 That works. Many thanks.
I also retested it again from my old backup. I update script to 4.2.12, bug introduced, exit retropie-setup, added your patch, re-enter retropie-setup and controls work again.
