Stuck in controller configuration screen

grimmey

Please forgive my ignorance to Linux. I have a Raspberry Pi. B Raspberry 3
Linux 4 14.30 v7.
This came preloaded I just needed to install.
During installation I got to controller configuration and I am unable to skip or ho beyond after assigning buttons. Both with joystick and mouse.
Any advice ?

I actually get to the command prompt when I F4 to skip.

@grimmey 3rd Party images are not supported. Please install the image from retropie.org.uk/download and add your system info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@mitu
Thank You for your help. I have downloaded the image from the link you provided.
I also downloaded 7zip and the "Noobs" OS.

However here I am getting stuck.
I downloaded etcher as well .
Could you walk me through what's next.
Not sure the file I should be pointing to Etcher.Once again, Apologies for my ignorance.

I am helping a buddy setup a gaming cabinet.

@grimmey Take a look at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ - it has the info needed, including a video tutorial.

I'm having a similar issue. I've tried a few different controllers, gamepad and keyboard and I get the same issue no matter what. The welcome screen appears and, on the first prompt I hold down a button as instructed. It then recognizes the device (my gamepad in this image). But what happens next, instead of going to the configuration menu, these lines appear across the dialog box, and the darkened "OK" button appears at the bottom. Nothing else happens, only plugging in a keyboard and pressing F4 does anything.

@spazboy1979 I'm going to ask you the same thing - provide the info in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Are you using a 3rd party image ?

Pi Model : Zero W
Power Supply used: 2.5A Power Supply Designed for Raspberry
RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): ? not sure how to find this out.
Built From: followed these steps: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Manual-Installation
USB Devices connected: keyboard, gamepad, mouse
Controller used:iNNext SNES usb controller

I don't know the other information.

i've wiped the sd card and reinstalled raspian and manually installed retropie 3 times. I always get this result. :-(

mitu

@spazboy1979 RetroPie is already built on Raspbian, you don't need the manual installation - you can use the RetroPie image for the Pi Zero, it's Raspbian Lite with RetroPie already installed.
You didn't mention if you're using an USB hub, I'm just assuming you are, since you have all these devices connected to your Pi. Do you have any other devices connected ?
Can you post a system log from your device ( the output of dmesg) to pastebin.com ?

grimmey

@mitu Thanks for your help.
I started over and used the build from the link provided.
Can anyone tell me where I can get Rom's ?

Please read the forum rules.

@mitu
I apologize for that.

I am back to my original issue though.
Stuck o controller configuration and this is after uninstalling the 3rd party and falling the posted link you provided.
I set the buttons and it seems the ok button at the bottom of the screen is not registering.
If I hit F4 to skip I get a command prompt and nothing else. The exact same screen as above.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

mitu

@grimmey Is the controller registering when you run a jstest /dev/input/js0 from the command line ? See this page in the docs for manually configuring/testing the controller.
Can you also post the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices (also run from the command line) ?

@mitu
When I go to command prompt now it reads pi@raspberrypi:-$
All commands I type at this prompt say command not found.
Do I need to try a different emulator?

grimmey

@mitu

So going back thru and redoing emulation station I find this error now.
E: Unable to locate package libcur14-openss1-dev

libcurl4-openssl-dev is in the default Raspbian repositories, so it should be found, but are you connected to the internet ?
Regarding the command prompt commands, what commands have you tried ? jstest is in the normal $PATH and should be available by default in RetroPie's image.
