Dunce question

ZombieMedia

Hey there,

Very very very happy with my little retropie machine.

I'd like to be able to add multitap games to my psx setup (micromachines is a must) - but I don't understand how/where I edit things...?

"To enable this, edit the retroarch.cfg file, found in:

/opt/retropie/configs/psx/
The option is:

game_specific_options = "true" "

Where do I access the retroarch.cfg file? Is this something I do on the pi?

Like I say - dunce question...

Thank you

@ZombieMedia it's a fair question! this has reminded me that we should probably add these options to the configuration editor (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor)

in the meantime, there are a number of options. if your pi is connected to a network, you can use another PC to 'SSH' in, which gives you a terminal prompt that you can use to edit files: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh

the command you'd want to enter is sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg

alternatively, if you have a keyboard connected you can access the same terminal via your pi by hitting the F4 key.

alternatively, if you have FTP setup, you can download the file to your pc, edit it there, and then send it back, although you may encounter permissions problems.

@dankcushions Awesome - thank you :)

game_specific_options has now been added to the configuration editor (if you update your retropie setup script). see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1#multitap-3-8-player for updated instructions :)

I'm glad to see some poeple ask for the multitap option :) my work was not useless :p. @dankcushions i think that i will start the rumble dev in few days. do you want to be the alpha tester ? have you an analog gamepad with rumble capacity ? too bad that this forum doesn't have private message feature...

sure! i have a ps4 controller that is recognised by retroarch, but i'm not sure if the libretro api can make those rumble? i think it can for 360 and PS3 controllers, but i'd have to confirm on IRC later.

@dankcushions
do you have the info for the ps4 controller, can it be used for testing the rumble feature ?

@alexis-puska i don't, sorry :( i don't think i can test it either as i don't use any libretro cores with rumble support on my pi.

i will work on it, try to catch the event for rumble and made some comment in the code and printf in libretro.c
I need to found a ps3 controller.

https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro/issues/100
in that tread Twinaphex say that udev driver or sdl2 driver work for mumpen64 if the virtual controler is set with rumble pack (N64 emulator).
