RetroArch-joyconfig

Wed Jan 16, 2013 8:09 pm

Hi All - I have downloaded RetroPie but do not appear to have the joyconfig utility. I have set things up using my keyboard but where have I either gone wrong or where can I get the utility from ?

Hi, I had the same issue. I could'nt find "retroarch-joyconfig" utility, so I downloaded "RetroArch" from source. To do that, type

Code: Select all

sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
from console. You must be at the "RetroPie" directory. Go to "Source-Based (Custom) installation" and unselect all options, except "RetroArch". After installation, you will have a directory "/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/tools/retroarch-joyconfig". I just moved "tools" directory to "RetroPie" and deleted "Retroarch". After that, you can call "retroarch-joyconfig" from inside "tools". If you have any question or doubt, feel free to ask.

Ps: Sorry for my english. If you cannot understand me, tell me, please.

RetroArch Joystick-config Utility Below -

Link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B51Q7d ... sp=sharing

Or you could just copy/paste this on the bottom your RetroArch config (this is for an XBox360 Pad) and alter accordingly (use jstest which will indicate the correct values for your Joypad).

input_player1_joypad_index = "0"
input_player1_b_btn = "1"
input_player1_y_btn = "3"
input_player1_select_btn = "8"
input_player1_start_btn = "9"
input_player1_up_axis = "-1"
input_player1_down_axis = "+1"
input_player1_left_axis = "-0"
input_player1_right_axis = "+0"
input_player1_a_btn = "0"
input_player1_x_btn = "2"
input_player1_l_btn = "4"
input_player1_r_btn = "5"
input_player1_l2_btn = "6"
input_player1_r2_btn = "7"
input_player1_l3_btn = "6"
input_player1_r3_btn = "7"
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = "-1"
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = "+1"
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = "-3"
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = "+3"

RetroPie should contain everything required if it compiled correctly (evidently it hasn't). You could always try UltraSlim, its a small, self contained download, is also based on RetroArch/Emulation Station, has many of the same 'Cores' as RetroPie and includes XBMC. Raspbian Chameleon Remix and PiPLAY (which now contains a 'Built in' Joypad configuring Tool) are also available, for details see the Emulation on the Raspberry Pi Thread
