#100+1 problem with Controller settings

zhajdu

@mitu Hi There,

You are right i correct it in the description. It is a simple 3 B version not a +, aliexpress label tricket me.

Yes, i did not copy any emulators just the ROMS.

I dont understand this mapping, do you mean if i only set up player 1 then player 2 layout will automatically be the same?

i will try this joystick selection tool tonight and get back to you

thanks

Yes.
You can test this by resetting the controller mappings - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#es_systemscfg-edits - then only map the 1st joystick. Start a 2 player game (NES for instance) and you'll notice - at the beginning - a yellow text message at the bottom left part of the screen which indicate how many controllers are detected and auto-configured. If it's 2 controllers, then the mapping you configured for the 1st controller are applied to the 2nd one as well. You can further test the 2nd controller with a 2 player game and check the buttons to see if they're identical.

@mitu do you mean this by resetting Retropie Setup Script >> Manage Packages >> Manage Core Packages >> EmulationStation >> Configuration / Options >> Clear / Reset EmulationStation Input Configuration

zhajdu

@zhajdu done

Now this is happening that the joysticks are found but despite i am pressing the buttons the label stays grey and it does not let me configure the input. It does not forward me to the configuration screen but it realises that i am pressing the button:(
update: i can only configure the usb keyboard. its label is black and it forwards me to the configuration...God i am so f...ked

mitu

@zhajdu Can you try with just 1 controller/joypad connected to see if you get past the configuration screen ? How did you configure it before ?

zhajdu

@mitu Thanks for keeping the spirit in me! So what i did now is i switched memory card in the PI and on the other PI i have a previously set up image and in that retropie i can configure the inputs. Maybe on the other one somehow the input cfgs got corrupted? but in that case as you advised resetting the cfgs should have solved this.

zhajdu

@mitu Its done, you were right. i configured one of the dragonrise joysticks then restarted the system and know both dragonrise joysticks are working. (its very strange) anyway this does not solve my problem i think

Which problem is that ? You said the controllers are working now.

zhajdu

@mitu Hi There! Now the current status is that the controllers might be working although i have not tryed this page yet https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/README.md
BUT now my layout is set and i cannot insert coin in the MAM4ALL emulator games for example cadillacs and dinasours. which button should drop in the coin? when 1 month ago it was working it was the select button

what cfg files should i copy paste here so you could review?

mitu

@zhajdu AFAIK key bindings in Mame4ALL are set from the emulator by hitting TAB (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/#mame4all-pi), do that to change the settings. Also, the config file is not readable (i.e not text), so there's no text file you could paste here. Grab a keyboard, press TAB while in-game and configure your settings there.

zhajdu

update!! if i use not the MAM4all but the MAME liberto emulator i can insert coin.... WTF?

zhajdu

@mitu You are the Man! Thanks now it is good in mame4all too

zhajdu

OMG the link you sent is also working now i can priorize my joysticks!!!! you are the best

zhajdu

@mitu i dont want to start a new thread for this because you know everything. So if i am playing an arcade game with fba the sound is lagging and the game laggs also sometime, do you know what to do?

Get a better PI ? For Pi1/0 models, pifba might be more appropriate for your hardware. What game are you playing ?

zhajdu

@mitu thi is Pi3+ (thats why i cant overclock in raspi config according to a blog) should i overclock? i am trying to play metal slug in play station emulator and also the rohga armor gorce is lagging in the fbalphacore

zhajdu

@zhajdu Overclocking did not solve anything. the sound is the same, lagging

mitu

I'd say that's about right, the game was also lagging on the original hardware. The FB Alpha core has an overclock hack - look in the core options and see if overclocking from the core settings helps.

@mitu Hello There again mitu! Everything is fixed as you mentioned and based on your guideance we had many lovely gaming hours. Now what happens is that I bought Play station usb controllers to replace the classic SNES controllers. The problem with this is that it turned out that the retropie recognises it as Dragonrise joystick:(. So this means that the arcade joysticks and the newly bought play station controllers stick together because they have the same name:( Do you know what to do?
