Reicast Stuck On Time & Date !
-
Most of my testing is based on this video:
Your input device may not be js0. Try doing a cd /dev/input then an ls -h to get a devices listing. Look for and jsX listings.
It also could be possible that jstest is not available. If that is the case: sudo apt-get install joystick should bring in the package.
EDIT. It looks like I crossed up my commands as well. It should be jstest /dev/input/js0
Time for another cup of coffee! -

It's been a while since I've done it myself, but from memory, you would add the number codes you got from running
/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast-joyconfig
and input them into the Reicast mapping file. According to the wiki entry, you'll need to create it yourself. I'll have to defer any more specific questions to someone else, as I have had Reicast uninstalled for some time due to poor performance on the Pi3. -

I believe you put those controller mapping info into a files named something like this/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg
Than edit
/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg
to tell the emulator to use your custom controller mapping:evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg

this is what is in my /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg
there is no controller on it.

The Input section should be between the [dispmanx] and [omx] sections. Hre is that part of my emu.config:
[dispmanx]
height = 480
maintain_aspect = yes
width = 640[input]
evdev_device_id_1 = 0
evdev_device_id_2 = 1
evdev_device_id_3 = -1
evdev_device_id_4 = -1
evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_TwinUSBJoystick.cfg
evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_TwinUSBJoystick.cfg
joystick_device_id = -1[omx]
audio_hdmi = yes
audio_latency = 100I have never done a manual edit of this config file, so I'm not sure what you need in the evdev_mapping_X lines or the joystick_device_id_X line. You can try pasting in what I have and changing TwinUSBJoystick.cfg lines to
evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg
evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfgNote, check /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings for the exact filename. It might be something like controller_MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg. All of y listed configs start with "controller_" except keyboard.cfg (I am running Retropie 4.1)

Oh yeah, in the
/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg
file you need to change evdev_device_id_1 & 2 to equal the number of the joystick you want to use.So if you want your MAYFLASH Arcade Fightstick F300 to be player 1 and your 8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad to be player 2. From what you posted above the Mini Keyboard is using 0 and 1 and the MAYFLASH is 2 and the 8Bitdo is 3.
You'd do something like this:
[input] evdev_device_id_1 = 2 evdev_device_id_2 = 3 evdev_device_id_3 = -1 evdev_device_id_4 = -1 evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_MAYFLASHArcadeFightstickF300.cfg evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg joystick_device_id = -1
The -1 means no joystick which we used for player 3 and 4 and also have evdev_mapping_1 & 2 to point to the matching joystick mapping config files.
And if you want 2 players at the same time, then you need to add this to the bottom of that same
emu.cfg
file:[players] nb = 2

and how do i see my device id inputs again because i think i did a update.
evtest
then just hit Ctrl+C to exit after you get your event number.I did notice something in your emu.cfg. There's spaces in your controller mapping cfg file name. Try putting quotes around them like this:
evdev_mapping_1 = "/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad.cfg" evdev_mapping_2 = "/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8Bitdo SNES30 GamePad.cfg"
Or you can just rename them to
controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg
to remove the spaces.Also you'll want to add this somewhere to your emu.cfg file if you want 2 players:
[players] nb = 2
