Scrolling on Exit
-
HI All.
I've noticed when I exit most of my game ROMS, when the Emulation Station menu returns it has moved to the left console over and automatically scrolls upwards until I go back to the console I was originally using.
Has anyone else seen this issue or knows how to fix?
I'm using Retropie 3.6 on a Pi 3.
Cheers, Graham

@djgra79 okay! I thought that this was just me! I am experiencing the same thing.
-
@battlecat likely a bug with your controller. Press a button on the dpad and it will stop scrolling
-
Yes that does work but on my MAME cab it is annoying.
-
@herb_fargus Ok thanks. I'll have to disconnect each one to see which is the culprit. I have arcade buttons via xin-mo, an old generic USB controller and wireless keyboard/mouse. I'd prefer to stop it from happening altogether if possible though.
-
Hy, I'm using the raph.net boards for wiring up my original controllers to the pi and the scrolling happens to me all the time.
Does anyone have found a workaround or fix yet?
-
This is driving me crazy, too. Especially how it always goes left a console. Hopefully, we can get a fix for this someday.
-
It's a dodgy controller dude, happens to me when I used my cheapo SNES Chinese pads. Just hit a button and it'll stop.

@dougthealmighty @Floeggu87 @battlecat @battlecat @herb_fargus it is a linux issue. Several controllers are affected by it. Raph from raphnet-tech.com created a linux patch for it:

@edmaul69 Wow thanks, I was experiencing the issue using a genuine white Xbox wired controller stolen from my younger brothers xBox! ;) I had a USB extension that allowed it to be connected to my PC and Rpi3.
It doesn't seem to happen as much anymore. I have not done the fix.
Thanks,
BC

@edmaul69 Thanks so much. I've been searching for a solution for a long time. I'm about to patch my kernel. Keeping you updated if it works :)
-
@Floeggu87 Did you ever patch your kernel? I'm curious to see if it worked.
-
@dsfrancis I patched the kernel as described but nothing happened. Still having the issue. I'll have a look at the newest RetroPie Release during my next holydays.
happy new year
-
this just happened to me right after I installed lr-mame2010... MJ's moonwalker works great on this btw... yah not sure whats going on with the scrolling. I am updating to latest script/packages now (4.1.8)
-
@Floeggu87 It didn't work for me until I ran: $sudo make install from the ~/linux/ folder after following everything else that was listed to do. I'm new to compiling kernels, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing here.
-
@churl i had to do the same thing. I forgot about that. I have my own guide my buddy created so i didnt follow the one on raphnets site or from @obsidianspider. But i do remember having issues because i didnt know where to find that folder.
-
@edmaul69 My guide was really just taking the steps from the Raphnet site. Raphnet's site tells you to go to the Raspberry Pi site for some of the steps, so I just put them all in one place.
