Unable to launch RGUI for core input remapping in a certain game

zeotherm

I have a RaspPi 3 running RetroPie 4.3 (I think, may be 4.2), and I am trying to remap the input for X-Men vs Street Fighter running via FinalBurn Alpha emulator. My default input is arcade buttons getting routed through a iPac2. When I press SELECT+X I get nothing--only in xmvsf ROM--others work just fine. So I tried to plug in my generic SNES controller and the same thing, SELECT+X doesn't do anything... in this ROM only.

Has anyone else ever seen this? Or does anyone have a remap file I could poach to get this working? Thanks!

@zeotherm Are you using lr-fbalpha (the RetroArch core) or the fbalpha standalone emulator ?

Well, I need a facepalm emoji here. For that ROM I am running the pifba emulator, NOT an lr- 'd emulator which would explain things. When I try to run that ROM via lf-fbalpha, it doesn't work. I guess I'll have to set up a key-remapping file by hand.

I believe 'X-Men vs Street Fighter' is well supported in lr-fbalpha. Are you sure that you're using the proper ROM set?

I am guessing not if that is the case. HOWEVER, I found this post from a few years ago--along with a bit of trial and error--that allowed me to change the mapping for my pifba SF based games.

For now, I am going to go with it. One day I may look into getting a better ROM set.

It's not that you really need a "better" ROM set, it's that you need the specific ROM set intended for the emulator that you're using. pifba might get you up and running in this one case and even a few more out of sheer coincidence, but with all the games that these arcade emulators support, you're going to run into incompatibilities pretty often without coordinating the ROM set versions to the right emulation software.
