Ok, i got some things to workAloshi wrote:I believe the file you'll want to change is "~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg".
Yes. I tried several buttons, none of which worked.Aloshi wrote:Did you change the "6" to the appropriate button on your controller? You need to look up the right button number with retroarch-joyconfig (don't write to a file, so omit the -o part, but press the button you want to use and see what number it maps to, then press Ctrl-C to exit without saving).
This is how my code is:Lemonoid wrote:Yes. I tried several buttons, none of which worked.Aloshi wrote:Did you change the "6" to the appropriate button on your controller?

What i did at first was to add the line under the keyboard/escape one, it didnt worked. After that i changed the keyboard line to the button one completely, didnt work either and the escape still worked inside the emulators.
I didnt even try the two lines that make the combination of buttons exit the emulator, i just inserted the 'exit' one to see if it worked.

Huh, this is a bit bizarre. Do you have a ton of roms? It sounds like it's taking forever to parse the directories.HeathenDominion wrote:Apologies if this has already been covered but since adding my roms emulationstation has been taking a very long time to start (30mins+). Once I run emulationstation I get the black screen with white dot, I thought it had crashed first time but didn't want to pull the power so waited and eventually the UI came on.
I dont know if it makes any difference but the roms are stored on a usb hdd which automounts on start up.
I do have quite a few but not an insane amount, would the lack of a gamelist.xml cause this to happen? I created them using rom2xml because es-scraper gave many of them wrong names (I ended up with several different roms showing as duplicates of the same one) and I've just noticed the ones I made seem to have disappeared from the directories.Aloshi wrote:Huh, this is a bit bizarre.

A lack of gamelist.xml would (in theory) speed up the process. There might be a weird corrupt gamelist.xml hiding somewhere causing issues - try launching ES with the "--ignore-gamelist" argument.HeathenDominion wrote: I do have quite a few but not an insane amount, would the lack of a gamelist.xml cause this to happen?

You must configure the emulator's controller stuff separately. Some more info here: https://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie ... mulator%3FLOBrien wrote:1. When I configured EmulationStation controller inputs, I accidentally used my USB NES controller. I can browse and select ROMs with this controller, but as soon as I start a ROM, my input goes from the controller to the keyboard.
If EmulationStation allow work and retroarch not maybe is because the retroarch.cfg file is not properly configured. And this cfg is called by the ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg.LOBrien wrote: 1.

Two choices:LOBrien wrote: 2. I have an original NES controller along with a Retro-Bit NES to USB adapter. You said most controllers are plug and play, but when I plug in my NES to USB adapter and plug in my Pi, It does not seem to like this adapter, and doesn't boot. During boot it hangs at this:

# Obtaining the input state from the RETRO_DEVICE_KEYBOARD was not working
# for me (I was hoping it would give me access to the raw-keyboard). To
# get around this I'm using the input_playerX_l and r states to pass through
# keyboard mappings.
#
# So I've put mappings from some additional keys to JoyPad buttons within
# libretro.cfg, and patched the imame4all-libretro code to map those JoyPad
