Dolphin Bar and Wii Remote Sync Issue with Retroarch (works kind of in advmame)

[dtyler3]

Hey there,

I looked everywhere to see if I can find if this has been solved, but it doesn’t seem like anybody is experiencing this exact issue. My issue is kind of two fold:

I was able to successfully sync up the Wii remote to the Dolphin Bar, seeing it move across the screen in Mame 2003. However, the A and B buttons do not work. I’ve switched the bar across all of the modes, with Retroarch recognizing only mode 3—except motion detection is lost. I’ve enabled mouse in the core, but the A and B buttons are not picking up at all. I tried in the tab menu as well with no luck. I saw other people were able to get the buttons to appear as mouse clicks, but mine aren’t.

Interestingly, the A and B buttons do work in Advmame, but the resolution is too small (changing the video settings in the runcommand beforehand did not successfully change the size, nor did the tab menu options in MAME). Basically, the one emulator in which the controls work
Is unplayable because I cannot change the aspect ratio to a size that I can see adequately. This is why I think this issue is Retroarch related.

Is there any other way I can ( A): get Retroarch and/or mame 2003 to map these buttons on the wii remote? Or (B): is there a way I can modify the aspect ratio of ADVMame so it does not appear as a tiny square in the corner of my screen? The game I’m trying to set this up with is Police Trainer.

I have the newest pi and retropie.

Thank you!

@dtyler3 What is your version of retropie? Are any other modifications made to it? We need a little more info to help you, and a verbrose log would be very useful too.
