Player 1 controller can no longer move down

AlexMurphy

@largetree There is no single "arcade" emulator. There are quite a few that run on RetroPie. Without knowing which one I would just be guessing.

@pjft it doesn't launch it now

largetree

@largetree mame 2003

AlexMurphy

@largetree Do you have a USB keyboard?

largetree

@AlexMurphy I don't, only have my laptop. I can get one from someone though

AlexMurphy

@largetree it's just to be able to move down. You said player 2 3 & 4 work so I assume you have another controller. Go into the RetroPie Setup script in the main menu. Choose configuration / tools. Then 810 emulationstation - Emula.... Then choose clear / reset. Make sure below that auto config is set to enabled This should wipe your current config and allow you to reset it. This will copy the controller config over to the emulators once completed.

@AlexMurphy I'll try that thank u

largetree

@largetree unfortunately I don't have an 810 it skips it

AlexMurphy

@largetree update the setup script first to update to the latest.

AlexMurphy

@largetree the latest is 4.1.19, well 2 days ago when I last updated anyway.

@largetree have 808 that brings up same thing though, reset input configuration

@largetree Hi.

It seems you just messed up the mame2003 configuration. It should be manageable - even if, worst case scenario, we just delete the right configuration files. :)

It is not related to the EmulationStation controller configuration settings.

So, to confirm:

The controllers work well in other emulators? [Yes?]
Do Players 2, 3 and 4 still retain the ability to move down in the same emulator? [Yes?]
Can you not access that menu via another controller's R2 button, as player 2, 3 or 4? [No?]
Can you not access that menu via player 1's R2 button, and then move as player 2, 3 or 4? [No?]
Did you lose the ability to move in all games in that emulator, or just in one particular game?

Let us know. In particular, the last answer would determine whether we'd need to find the global settings file to delete, or just the rom-specific settings.

In particular, in your <rom folder>/mame2003/cfg , there should be some cfg files. Let us know what are its contents. Exit EmulationStation by pressing F4 (or login to your Pi via SSH) and run the following:

ls -l /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg
