I’ve been pulling my hair out its driving me mad :P finally got gngeo to work and now I cant get my joypad to work. Ive been running into other people having the problem and not any solutions to it either.

Am I one of the few that has this problem with configurating GNGEO and DGEN?
or do other people here suffer from it aswell

so far keyboard wise only escape works and the configure option F4 I hear people use doesnt work for me. Nothing happens :(

I’m confused… is it just me or are the keys messed up or missing?

Launching a game from emulation station works really smooth… the game loads and seems to work perfectly… only the escape button works and arrowkeys and enter to exit the emulator

I tried editing the /home/pi/.gngeo/gngeorc file
I figured removing the hashtags for the keyboard settings just to see if the keyboard controls work

After editing even a tinybit of the neogeorc file the emulator stops working
what causes it to mess up?

# and the driver file (copy it from the gngeo archive) ?

# NRX-style hotkey configuration
# Up to 4 hotkeys per player can be defined (
# Only fire buttons (A-D) can be combined
# A = 1, B = 2, C = 4, D = 8

# Samples:
# Map CD to P1 hotkey 0
p1hotkey0 4,8
# Map BC to P1 hotkey 1
p1hotkey1 2,4
#Map ABC to P1 hotkey 2
p1hotkey2 1,2,4
#p1hotkey3
#p2hotkey0
#p2hotkey1
#p2hotkey2
#p2hotkey3

# Joystick configuration
# Joystick mapping
# 0 <-> /dev/js0, 1 <-> /dev/js1, etc..
p1joydev 0
p2joydev 1

# Buttons/Axes configuration
# order : A,B,C,D,START,COIN,AXE_X,AXE_Y,AXE_X_DIR,AXE_Y_DIR
# AXE_X_DIR and AXE_Y_DIR is use to invert an axe
# ex: some joystick have the Y axe inverted (up <-> down). For them,
# use -1 for AXE_Y_DIR will solve the problem.
# hotkeys are optional (ie need not be mapped to buttons)
# use -1 to "unmap" a hotkey.
# Samples:
# hotkey0 = button 3, hotkey1 = button 0,
# p1joy     4,1,5,2,9,8,0,1,1,1,3,0
# No hotkeys
# p1joy     4,1,5,2,9,8,0,1,1,1

p1joy     2,3,0,1,5,4,0,1,1,1
p2joy     1,0,3,2,7,6,0,1,1,1

# Key configuration
# order : A,B,C,D,START,COIN,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT
# please see SDL_keysym.h for key definition
# or push F4 during game : the keysym code of
# keys will be printed (also work for joysticks) 
# same thing as joypads for hotkeys

# Azerty configuration:

Thnx I’ve got gngeo to work with the controller aswell: it ends up being really small screen but I added
effect scale2x which makes the screen twice as big and almost fullscreen
(wish there was a way to get proper fullscreen because fullscreen true doesnt seem to cut it)

The joystick settings configuration I ran into something

I’ve posted this aswell in a different topic but I think it belongs here aswell:

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

I’m not sure what is meant by that… where is the file located that needs to be edited?

I did some research: There seems to be a typo in two files
(im not sure if that is the thing gizmo98 pointed out)
First is located at:
/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/ES-config/settings.xml

<changeConfigPath from="retroarch.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg" />
<changeConfigPath from="dgen.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/dgen/dgenrc" />
<changeConfigPath from="gngeo.rc" to="/homepi/.gngeo/gngeorc" />

as you can see there is a / missing between home and pi

The same typo is is found in
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml

<changeConfigPath from="retroarch.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg" />
<changeConfigPath from="dgen.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/dgen/dgenrc" />
<changeConfigPath from="gngeo.rc" to="/homepi/.gngeo/gngeorc" />

if both are changed you can fill in the Gngeo configuration
it overrides the file located in /home/pi/.gngeo

Be carefull above configuration overrides the whole file leaving you with just the joysticksettings ;o

but the joystick settings are based on gngeo 0.7 version as the config settings joystick wise differ from the 0.85 version

(btw the es_systems seems to refer to neogeo-bios eventhough I made a folder neogeobios it works and not sure if I should change the emulationstation es_system.cfg
