Neogeo controller help please!

[dogeymon]

So I have two neogeo emulators in my retropie

I have lr-fbalpha and I have pifba

I prefer to use pifba because more games seem to be compatible and I don’t mind the look

It was working fine forever. Now when I start a game in that emulator, I can’t control anything. The emulator for some reason thinks there’s no first player controller? I don’t know. The only thing I can do with my Xbox 360 controller is click the left trigger button and it “adds coin” for credit. But I can’t start the game with any of the other buttons.

And I can press and hold the l and r triggers to exit the emulator.

Anyone know a way to access the RetroArch options for this emulator some other way if I can’t access it with the controller?

@dogeymon AFAIK, pifba is not a RetroArch controller , so there's no GUI to edit/map the input.

@mitu

Do you know of some way to solve the problem? How to configure controllers with this emulator?

@dogeymon Check the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FinalBurn-Alpha/#pifba - you should edit the config file at /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg.
Btw, why don't you give lr-fbalphaa try ? It has support for more ROMs than pifba and you get the RetroArch RGUI for any kind of settings you want.
