Osmose Controller Config / es_systems.cfg help

[HoustoneD]

I was having trouble launching SMS roms with default ES SMS emulator.

changed default to osmose.

roms now launch, but i get no controller functionality (PS3 Dual Shock via bluetooth)

Looking at es_systems.cfg and from my reading:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=23550
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Master-System

it seems that this portion:

<system>
<name>mastersystem</name>
<fullname>Sega Master System</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mastersystem</path>
<extension>.sms .bin .zip .SMS .BIN .ZIP</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ mastersystem %ROM%</command>
<platform>mastersystem</platform>
<theme>mastersystem</theme>
</system>

seems incorrect. I took a look at runcommand.sh but it was massively confusing.

Do i have to manually update <command> to run SMS roms using osmose?

I looked at /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg. i can see where i have modified some n64 stuff. Should there be an entry here for mastersystem?

Beginning to run out of ideas here. Please help! Thanks in advance!

in es_systems.cfg, I changed:

<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ mastersystem %ROM%</command>

To:

<command>/opt/retropie/emulators/osmose/osmose -joy -joy1 2 -joy2 4 -joystart 11 filename.gg 0 _SYS_ mastersystem %ROM%</command>

I cannot test yet since i am not at home, but i feel like from what i have learned so far, this should have me configure my input when i launch a ROM. Not a permanent solution, but could possibly lead me closer to the promise land.

Please give feedback on this.

I finally got a chance to try this out.

It didn’t work. What i ended up trying was running this from the terminal:

pi@retropie ~ $ /opt/retropie/emulators/osmose/osmose -joy -joy1 2 -joy2 4 -joystart 11 filename.gg

This was the output:

OsmOse 0.8.1+rpi20121122 build on Oct 4 2015 at 20:27:34 Written by Bruno Vedder.
Button 1 mapped to joystick button 2
Button 2 mapped to joystick button 4
Button Start mapped to joystick button 11
Unable to open filename.gg zip archive.

After this, i ran an SMS ROM from ES. It loaded fine, and i actually had some functionality out of my PS3 controller. The left analogue thumbstick took place of the D-Pad, and the right analogue thumbstick “click” took place of one of the two SMS controller buttons. I am not sure which one. Either way,the command successfully created some sort of config file to use with my input device, so i consider this test somewhat successful. I guess now i need to track down the location this mapping is saved to.

Any help is still appreciated.
