Problem configuring arcade machine
-
@mitu I finally got a bit of time to remap and change the retroarch file. But i downloaded it the games in the fba folder and they don't work. they do work in the mame-libretto folder as i can change some of the buttons with the TAB option. I remapped the fba retroarch folder but still doesn't work, i can't add coins to play...
also, i got a bunch of roms from different sites that i had saved over the years in a folder, but i have no idea which version they are. I guess this will be trying different emulators for each rom...
Thanks again for your help

How did you re-map them ? The
fba
folder useslr-fbneo
as arcade emulator, which should use the same input configuration from RetroArch - i.e. Select to insert a coin.also, i got a bunch of roms from different sites that i had saved over the years in a folder, but i have no idea which version they are. I guess this will be trying different emulators for each rom...
Each emulator has its own set of suppoted ROMs, there's no point in downloading random ROMs - get a split set for the emulator you're using.

@mitu that's what i don't understand. Here is what i do:
- I add a rom into the fba folder
- open the rom (the default emulator is lr-fbneo
- the game opens but i cannot insert coins with any of the buttons even though the "all" retroarch is set to "select"
- so I edited the retroarch in the fba folder only and nothing, it doesn't work...
Some of those roms work with Mame, so no big deal but i can't get any of them to work with lr-fbneo...
I hooked up a keyboard through the USB and i could insert coins with r-shift key but again the controllers were all over the place...
At least I can play some games now so i'll be trying them with different folders and emulators...
Thanks again
