USB ports no longer determine player number retroarch 1.7.1
-
@dankcushions said in USB ports no longer determine player number retroarch 1.7.1:
this has been raised over at retroarch: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6707
keep an eye on that issue - hopefully some kind of option can be developed to control this behaviour
I tweeted to them about wanting this as well. Hope to see this happen.
-
I guess im the only one that didnt have this issue. All controllers are still in the same order based on usb port.
-
@edmaul69 Are they always connected or you plug them after starting the system ?
-
@edmaul69 Well, I upgraded to Retropie 4.4 with RetroArch 1.7.1 last weekend, and my two DragonRise zero delay encoders that are connected to a powered usb hub always have the same order in Retroarch.
My two wireless Qumox Wii U Pro gamepads for players 3 and 4 are always arranged in the order of connection, but that hasn't changed since Retropie 4.3 if I recall correctly.
-
@mitu i always keep them plugged in. I should pull out my ps3 controller so i can test plugging it in in a lower numbered port after powering on.
-
@mitu so if i plug in my ps3 controller after boot in port 0 it shows up as controller 7 in emulationstation as well as retroarch so im not so sure its just a retroarch issue. I cant test with bluetooth because the bluetooth on 4.4 never finds my legit ps3 controller.
-
@edmaul69 I found for 4.4 to use a ps3 controller, you have to install the old ps3 controller driver first to connect and then uninstall it.
-
So yeah i think if you plug in stuff after the fact its an issue with retroarch. Keeping everything plugged in seems to work as it should.
-
@lostless so i installed the driver. If i keep it installed it shows up but asks for a 4 digit pin. If i unistall the ps3 driver, it still finds it but gives me an error when i try to connect it. I get an “org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemtFailed: Page Timeout”
-
@edmaul69 you have to sync from the driver itself.

@buzz how would I install the PR version of retroarch? I would love to test?
-
Just tested the latest merge with retroarch 1.7.3 with the mods, old usb port functionality is now working. Thanks
-
@lostless can you explain to a noob what are the steps to get and install this PR version?

@robertvb83 it’s been merged, so just update retroarch from source
-
@lostless binaries for the rpi have been updated also.

@buzz For Stretch also ? I just updated - binary - and RA still says it's at 1.7.1.
-
I am the same, i'm on 4.4.1, RBP3 and update retroach from binary and it still shows 1.7.1 as well.
-
@mitu Forgot to trigger the binary upload. Should be updated now.
