      I had a look again at your default.cfg for the button mappings.
      As I can recall button 9 is used for opening the mame gui.
      Button 9 is my "start" button is yours the same ?

      What I am missing is that when a joystick button is set in the default.cfg the keyboard tab key will probably not work anymore or am I wrong ?

      Btw.
      @Retrodade wants to share some button mappings for all_in1.
      His post in "Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME"
      Would you like to test them with your 8bitdo/PiBoy when he shares it ?
      Then we could merge the configs.

        @Folly I don't recall just by the numbers but I know that for me the button to open the MAME UI is the R3 button... like when you push down on the right analog stick. I think, but am not sure, that for me 10 and 11 are start and select. Maybe that means the .cfgs won't be too helpful after all :(.

        I actually don't have the all-in-one games setup on my build, so at least as of now I couldn't test them. It seemed like a lot more work for scraping and such because there are so many and honestly I like the Konami/Tiger ones because they're all so similar and the same manufacturer. I could try to get my act together and add them though.

          Well, I like the driver configs you made, there is a lot of similarity between joysticks.
          And of-course when you download you get the info for which joystick they are made so basically that shouldn't be a problem.
          The default.cfg could be an other story.
          Reading your post I think we still have to leave out the default.cfg for now.
          I would like to get a good idea to implement a joystick solution as a more uniform solution so configs can be used for more joysticks.
          Sadly I still don't have such an idea just yet.
          Perhaps it will come in the future ;-)

          Indeed, much work.
          Let's wait and see what @Retrodade will share.

            @Folly Oh that is a good point, I didn't remember that the actual game-mappings would be joystick-specific and the default wouldn't. So I guess that will still be helpful for anyone who uses a piboy (not so many) or an 8bitdo (probably tons).

              Something to test for you, update the script and you can try aa5000.
              Let me know how it goes.

                    Good !
                    You have to remember,
                    I am trying to push the limits here a bit.
                    This way we can probably discover some new stuff that we can use later for possible future improvements.

                        I looks like it can't find the lr-mess core.
                        You probably use an old lr-mess that is still called mess_libretro.so.
                        The name of the new version of lr-mess has been changed to mamemess_libretro.so.
                        So you should update your lr-mess and perhaps you even need to update your RetroPie-Setup to the latest version.

                        Check from this post.

                          Oh god. Does this mean the next time I update lr-mame it's going to break every single system I installed using your wonderful script? Dozens and dozens of them? Jesus, what a nightmare :(

                          For the meantime I tried editing the lines in EMULATORS.CFG back from mamemess_libretro to mess_libretro.so, but now it fails to recognise the games, even though I'm using the proper MAME softlist name.

                            Does this mean the next time I update LR-MESS it's going to break

                            Technically, yes.
                            For starters, I didn't change the name but we have to deal with it and it probably won't change for a very long time now !
                            That is why I added the script in the later post so all the lines can be converted easily.

                            I checked the similarity of the executing line with my runcommand.log and the are identical.
                            So you are using the -cdrm loader that's good.

                            In this case it doesn't really matter what the name of the .chd is in hotmario.zip. Looks like other names will work too.

                            I assume your custom-core-options.cfg has soflist on disabled and that it's loaded from retroarch.add.
                            So that should be good too.

                            Try extracting hotmario.zip try running hotel mario (1994)(philips)(eu).chd

                            Your RetroArch is quite old now.
                            I remember cdimono1 had issues in lr-mess around that time.
                            Also the later versions need more bios files in cdimono.zip not that it is complaining about that.
                            But for some reason, i think it might have some impact.

                            What lr-mess version are you using ?

                              It has softlist disabled, yes. No idea what retroarch.add is.

                              Try extracting hotmario.zip try running hotel mario (1994)(philips)(eu).chd

                              That's what I tried first, because it used to run fine with lr-mess-cdi (which is something I installed via another route before your script existed, I can no longer remember how).

                              But as of yesterday it (and all my other CDI games) crashed, which is why I installed the alt version from your script. Running the unzipped version has the same result.

                              What lr-mess version are you using ?

                                On a totally unrelated note, I'm wondering if anyone has installed and played the Amstrad GX4000 and noticed that the games don't take up the full real estate of the screen - like I get black bars above, below, left, and right. Before I mess around with scaling to try to fix it, is there some obvious thing I'm missing that would make it display correctly?

                                Short answer: no. The only thing you can do is use custom video settings for each game, because the Amstrad had loads of different video modes with different resolutions.

                                These are my default settings that give a decent display area for most games without making the Retroarch menus totally unusable:

                                aspect_ratio_index = "23"

custom_viewport_x = "188"
custom_viewport_y = "-165"
custom_viewport_width = "1536"
custom_viewport_height = "1360"

                                but you'll need to adjust those for a lot of other games.

                                  I found this in your logs.

                                  [INFO] [Overrides] core-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/MAME/MAME.cfg

                                  I probably loads wrong core-specific overrides.
                                  Try renaming it, so retroarch will not see it.
                                  Let me know if it works.

                                    That's quite weird, because I have no such path as /home/pi/.config/, and the MAME.CFG file at /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME/ has no reference to the CD-i in it :o

                                      Does this mean the next time I update LR-MESS it's going to break

                                      I'm really confused. I thought MAME and MESS were all one app now?

                                        No, it's still separated, at least for RetroPie, in :
                                        lr-mame (arcade only) (mame_libretro.so)
                                        lr-mess (non-arcade only) (mamemess_libretro.so)

                                          That's quite weird, because I have no such path as /home/pi/.config/

                                          It's a hidden directory, linked to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config

                                          , and the MAME.CFG file at /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME/ has no reference to the CD-i in it :o

                                          You probably used Valerino's fork once so your hidden directory is probably linked to :
                                          /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config

                                          The MAME.cfg overides other configs that need to be loaded by default.
                                          I think that your MAME.cfg overrides important setting of the other configs that need to be loaded in order to get it working correctly.
                                          Not sure why you have it, I don't have it.

                                          Have you tried renaming it temporarily to test if it works when you do so ?

                                          In the meantime I will check your log.

                                          edit:
                                          I can't find suspicious things in your log but I keep finding it strange.

                                            If the renaming doesn't help then we are on a dead end.

                                            Btw. did same_cdi work ?
                                            Basically it's lr-mess but with only the cdimono1 driver and some patches.
                                            So the speed of same_cdi will be somewhat the same as lr-mess.
