Retropie PSX Emulator only 1 controller works

@dankcushions @Disbeliever
I was googling about the diferences between input_device_pX and input_libretro_device_pX.

This thread on RetroArch github issue section made me think that both options are the same, but input_device_pX is a deprecated one. Let's see if that guy (Themaister) will confirm my supposition.

Hi,
This is a bug on the current version of pcsx-rearmed. if you have configured 2 analog controler, an old code is used and the first pad keystate is mapped on the second pad keystate... some code is in wainting state for merge, but i have add rumble for analog pad 1 and 2, and i fix this bug in the next version. If you want to play with 2 player configured the second on standart for the moment.

@alexis-puska is it possible to make a post in here or somewhere so we know to get it? I am using the second to last version because of the analog issue. I am really excited about rumble support.

hi,
For me i make some script to define the compilation variable and compile the emulator.
The best way for you I think it's to edit the "lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh" script shell and reinstall the emulator.

you can edit the line 22 : gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed.git

you replace the url by : https://github.com/alexis-puska/pcsx_rearmed.git

it's my repository with the last change for gamepad. and launch emulation station, go in retropie plateform, launch the retropie setup script and reinstall the emulator.

dankcushions

be careful though. if you change any retropie script you will not be able to update retropie-setup via the script unless you revert or delete that file.

alexis-puska

Yes, after your reinstall, revert this files. Dankushion is right, if you not revert this files you cannot update pcsx_rearmed with the last version and last update made by the community.
In some major update of retropie for mine part, i reinstall and recreate my sdcard.

Hey guys. Let me complement the @alexis-puska tip:
[EDIT: this is incomplete and unusable.]
~~The best way for you is to copy the lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh script shell to another file, let's say lr-pcsx-rearmed-fixed.sh, and make the changes suggested by @alexis-puska . And then reinstall.~~

~~It will let the original file untouched. ;-)~~

dankcushions

@meleu then how would you launch the fixed version? :) by editing the existing .sh you can launch it via retropie-setup.sh as normal.

Well, if the copied script is at RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/, as the original file, it will be launchable via retropie_setup too. BUT... I have to agree that my suggestion is incomplete, therefore unusable...

The functions inside the copied script need to be renamed to match the file name... although this renaming process could be simple for a experienced sed or vim user, it's simpler to just follow your instructions (edit the URL and after the reinstall put back the libretro one).

Sorry guys...

meleu

trying to repair my mistake... :-)

A simple module to install the @alexis-puska fixed version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh

[EDIT: the @alexis-puska Pull Request was merged! No need to use this anymore!!]

Installation method

wget -O ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh

Then, start retropie_setup.sh and go to Manage Packages -> exp -> lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska -> Install from source.

Benefits of this method

It installs the @alexis-puska version and let the original lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh untouched. It installs another emulator option for Playstation. Choose it in the runcommand menu.

Hope it helps!

@meleu if i go to the website your file exist, but on the pi it says no such file exist when i use the commands above.

meleu

@edmaul69 can you paste the error message?

it says no such file or directory

root@retropie:~# wget -O ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh
/root/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh: No such file or directory

meleu

@edmaul69 you are using the root user dude!!
You have to do it as the pi user!

edmaul69

@meleu pi user. Check. :) i always log in as root.

edmaul69

@meleu works! Thank you.

meleu

@edmaul69 just to explain what went wrong:
The tilde ~ symbol means $HOME. Then, if you are root, your home directory is /root. And if you are pi, your home directory is /home/pi.
Do you get it?!

edmaul69

@meleu that would explain a lot. I always had to type out the directory i wanted because ~ did absolutely nothing for me. I always wondered why everyone has that but it never once worked for me.

meleu

@edmaul69 The @alexis-puska Pull Request was merged!! You can uninstall the emulator installed with the lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska.sh.
RetroPie-Setup -> Manage Packages -> exp -> lr-pcsx-rearmed-puska -> Remove

I'm glad my script lived only 3 days but it was enough to make you understand that ~ means $HOME. :-)

edmaul69

@meleu and i am so glad to know to ssh into it as pi. Saves me the headache.
