InactiveHi There,
I’m having a stressful time getting my usb snes (iBuffalo) to register with the emulators.
It’s working in emulationstation menus….but not in games.
It comes up at “Not configured” in yellow writing on starting an emulator.I have successfully setup my 2p arcade joystick (Xin-mo) after a bit of a hectic time thanks to awesome folk on this forum!
So now I want the ability to jump between pad and joysticks….
The key thing I think is the fact that I haven’t got a file in my /retroarch – joypads/ folder that corresponds to the snes controller. I have one in there for my arcade stick.
This is why I think the emulators are saying it’s “not configured”…..
so my question is, how do I properly configure this bad boy!?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

InactiveI will totally figure out how to do that… I’m still a noob with all this.
Just need to look up how to properly get the info up here.
Will pop it up tomorrow eve, my time(london)

MemberThis is what mine looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <inputList> <inputAction type="onfinish"> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh</command> </inputAction> <inputConfig type="keyboard" deviceName="Keyboard"> <input name="pagedown" type="key" id="114" value="1"/> <input name="start" type="key" id="115" value="1"/> <input name="pageup" type="key" id="101" value="1"/> <input name="up" type="key" id="1073741906" value="1"/> <input name="a" type="key" id="13" value="1"/> <input name="b" type="key" id="1073742053" value="1"/> <input name="down" type="key" id="1073741905" value="1"/> <input name="right" type="key" id="1073741903" value="1"/> <input name="select" type="key" id="97" value="1"/> <input name="left" type="key" id="1073741904" value="1"/> </inputConfig> </inputList>
The following code block is needed in order to call the script that automates the creation of the retroarch controller configs. It is called anytime that you configure a controller through emulationstation
<inputAction type="onfinish"> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh</command> </inputAction>

InactiveRight… I’ve been super busy so haven’t had a chance to do this yet.
But… I thought I’d quickly try a fresh image of retropie 3.6 on my new pi 3 to see if it was something weird with my old pi….
But I get the same controller issue. I tried my buffalo snes pad… And a 3rd part Xbox 360 pad.
Both configure in emulationstation but don’t work in roms (don’t even see any yellow text at the start of games)Will figure out how to post the info in the correct way….

InactiveI feel very silly.
I sorted it by configuring the controller in the RGUI.Sorry for being a noob. I watched a video that was in a sticky post…. Should have done that first!
