FBA can't move up,down,left,right

megatron99

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to get Marvel vs. Capcom to work on PiFBA . I got everything working except up,down,left,right. I went to /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg to set up my buttons but can't figure out how to set my joystick. I've read that you can press select and x to configure buttons but I'm getting nothing. I'm using an ipac2.

@megatron99 are you using pifba because of something special? Maybe lr-fba is a better choice.

cant get MvsC to work on Ir-fba but I'll try

BuZz

if you are using a rpi2 or rpi3 you should use lr-fba-next

megatron99

can't find a rom that works with Ir-fba-next. According to this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GaqIIoiWbzKHwZ52S2xCSDQXILo81Ls1mHK6czKGAtM/edit#gid=1671511927 a rom should work but doesn't

Indeed. You're right. I'm getting this problem too! I use pifba for Marvel vs Capcom...

Can you paste your /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg here?

this is the area I changed. All my punch and kick buttons work but I can't go forward or back and up or down. Not sure what to do with JA_LR=1 and JA_UD=0. This game has been a real challenge to get working. I have a rom for the psx but I'm having troubles getting it to run. I even put a bio folder. It runs but not correctly.

put three backquotes before the fba2x.cfg content and other three backquotes after. The content you put here seems to have some missing characters and lines...

Let me paste my own fba2x.cfg for capcom games (keep in mind that I'm using a PlayStation-like USB controller).

My Joystick Axis configs is different from yours (JA_LR=0 and JA_UD=1).

I play marvel vs capcom on lr-fba or lr-fba-next. Im not sure which one im using. I will let you know which one when i get home. I have every single capcom game on lr-fba or lr-fba-next that it supports and i tested all of them. Had to download some new ones to replace ones that didnt work on it. I will let you know which one in about an hour. I also have my capcom games split into two rom folders. All 6 button games except street fighter 1 in one and all the rest in another. The reason why is the six button games have a different controller config then all the rest of them.

I'm confused on the joystick axis. JA LR=0
I think that is where my problem is.

edmaul69

Means joystick axis for left and right is -/+ 0. If your joystick buttons are numbers or hats you need to change it from axis to a button

megatron99

@edmaul69 ok I'll try that. I'm going to replace #joystick axis to #joystick button

@edmaul69 ok I'll try that. I'm going to replace #joystick axis to #joystick button

So for compatibility i use lr-fba-next for all 6 button games and everything else uses lr-fba. I just tested and marvel vs capcom (euro 980123) works on lr-fba-next

It seems that you aren't familiar with the "linux way of life"... :-) The # character means that everything after it is a comment. It's only usefull for humans, the PiFBA ignores it.

Although I believe that finding a proper ROM to make it run on lr-fba is a good solution, I would like to be able to help you to make it run on PiFBA.

Can you try to use my fba2x.cfg to see what happens? Maybe the buttons aren't what you want, but let's see if the directional buttons will work.

megatron99

@meleu thank you. Looks like I can't find a rom to work. I would love you hear if you have any suggestions on getting the rom to work.

megatron99

trying to get Marvel vs Capcom to work on lr-fba or lr-fba-next. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the rom working. Went to https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs with no luck.

I have this problem but I'm stuck using PiFba when i want to change to lr-fba-next. The issue is when i start the game i see no menu to change the emulator I'm using.
