mouse as a Zapper lr-fceumm RPi 3 b+

sexbeer

@edmaul69 I tried to change "User 2 Mouse Index" from 0 to 22 and reset the game after each changing, but it did not help. could you please run this game, go to retroarch->main menu->configurations->save new configurations. and attach it here from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/fceumm_libretro.cfg. i just can't understand, what settings should i change.

I repeat, with these settings everything works fine on PC with debian linux x86

@sexbeer Have you tried lr-nestopia? It automatically makes use of a mouse. I didn't need any further configuration.

sexbeer

@dudleydes yes i did, but it did not help. have you tried it RPI3B+ ? also the problem is that I cannot control the menu with the mouse, although menu_mouse_enable = "true". I tried several mouse, wired and wireless.

edmaul69

@sexbeer in quick menu, options, there is zapper type. Mine is set to pointer. Try both pointer and mouse.

In input, user 2 binds, player 2 device type is set to auto. Mouse index is 0. So is player 1.

In controls player 2 user device type is set to auto. So is player 1.

And i did verify player 2 does control the lightgun.

sexbeer

@edmaul69 you will not believe, but... it does not help:) I tried everything. can you control retroarch's menu with mouse? what is yours version RPi? by the way, in the latest version lr-fceumm 'pointer' is 'lightgun'

edmaul69

@sexbeer you cannot control the menu with a mouse as far as i can tell. Even though retroarch has options for it.

I am going to update lr-fceumm and see if it has any issues. I will get back to you in a minute.

edmaul69

@sexbeer bad news. It is the new lr-fceumm that is the problem. @buzz might have some insight into why it doesnt work on the latest version

edmaul69

@sexbeer here is the working one if you would like to use it instead.

@edmaul69 nope... it also not working for me. I ran the game with the verbose logging on. and that's what I got from /dev/shm/runcommand.log:
...
[ERROR] [udev] Failed to open device: /dev/input/event0 (Success).
[INFO] [udev]: Mouse #0 (/dev/input/mouse0).

is that normal? could you do it on your system to compare?

edmaul69

@sexbeer have you tried using nestopia instead? I will post my log in a minute

edmaul69

@sexbeer here is my log from the working version i posted here

edmaul69

@sexbeer here is the log from the newer non working one

https://pastebin.com/gJk8bjyW

@edmaul69 I think the problem is somewhere nearby this:

[ERROR] [udev] Failed to open device: /dev/input/event0 (Success).
[INFO] [udev]: Mouse #0 (/dev/input/mouse0).

I compared your file with my file in TC

fff... i have some ERROR don't know how to fix it! :)

but mouse is available in system:

Hi,

I have the same error with my trackball. Is there any incompatibility with Retropie 4.4 and Retroarch 1.7.X?

edmaul69

@albecacif try replacing the libretro core with the one i posted. It works for me, but the new libretro core doesnt work with mouse.

sexbeer

@edmaul69 try to update all packages with kernel on your Rpi3b+, and then replace your core.

I tested on a stock updated RetroPie 4.4 and didn't have any problems with either lr-fceumm or lr-nestopia. I plugged in a BT mouse from my pc and it worked without any extra configuration, the pointer showed up on the screen and I could use it (played Duck Hunt). Just to compare, this is the log file from the shooting session - I changed the Zapper mode option to mouse and applied a shader from the RGUI between rounds.

sexbeer

@mitu Have you tried using a usb wired mouse? or wireless 2.4Ghz mouse?

mitu

@sexbeer I forgot to mention, but the mouse has an USB BT Receiver, so it's seen as an USB mouse by the system.

sexbeer

@mitu I just tried on a stock updated RetroPie 4.4. and nothing has changed, the problem has not gone. that is my log.
I have an error in this section

[INFO] [udev]: Keyboard #0 (/dev/input/event0).

but, I repeat, mouse work in console with cat /dev/input/mice, I mean the system detect it well
