      Hi,

      I am buiding a NESPi DIY based off of DaftMike's incomplete work (http://www.daftmike.com/2016/07/NESPi.html My Work - https://github.com/benmprojects/NESPi_DIY). When launching game manually from in retropie the controller works. When launching from my script my controller doesnt work. I am getting the follow error

      retropie usb gamepad not configured

      My script is below.

      subprocess.call("sudo openvt -c 1 -s -f -- " + "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ snes" + "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/SuperMarioWorld.sfc " + "&", shell=True)

      Any Ideas???

      Thanks

      Ben

        Please use a code block / inline code block as otherwise the forum will think some characters are styling - http://commonmark.org/help/

        Can you enter the runcommand menu both ways ? Enable verbose logging and compare the logs.

          Hi BuZz,

          can you explain how to run the verbose logging and the file location. I have only just started playing with retropie.

          Thanks

          ben

            available in the runcommand menu - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

            logs to /dev/shm/runcommand.log
