FloobMemberThere are some pointers here:
https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/recalbox-os/wiki/Manual-%28EN%29#network-addAlthough some of their arcade pages in the Wiki seem to be copied off the RetroPie wiki, so I’m not sure how accurate it all is.
FloobMember@xd3l
If you let me know what step in the video doesnt work for you and the error you get, I’ll try to help out.FloobMemberHave you tried the scraper from sselph?
FloobMemberYes, as rookervik says, use the script from sselph and tell it to use your pre-existing images. You get the options using the –help parameter. But I think you said you tried that scraper earlier?
This will generate an xml though, which I think you didnt want. Thats the only reason I suggested another front end. If you use your own images, just make sure the roms and images are named the same.
FloobMemberSorry, I’m not sure I understand. You say you have tried sselph scraper which allows you to use your own images, but it isn’t working for you?
If you post the command you used and the error you had, maybe someone can help.
Emulation Station needs an xml file, if you don’t want one you may need to use a different front end.FloobMemberAre you talking about the inbuilt ES scraper, or the sselph one?
https://github.com/sselph/scraperFloobMemberWhich arcade emulator (version) are you using?
Have you validated the romset?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMsFloobMember@atimmins Yes, there does seem to be an issue with the shoulder buttons on that model – I think it may relate to the firmware on the controller. Perhaps an update will come out to resolve that. In the meantime you could remap the hotkey to something else.
To set a controller as P1, try plugging it into the top left usb port, and p2 into the bottom left port. (p3 is top right and p4 is bottom right).
FloobMemberAt what point do you get an error when following the guide?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-InstallationOr does that part complete successfully?
FloobMemberMaybe it became unpaired by holding select down too long? Run through the pairing process again and see how you go.
FloobMemberIf its the same controller, repeating steps 3 and 4 should do it.

I had a typo in the Wiki – try this
sudo apt-get --purge remove sixadFloobMemberPlease do check out the Wiki. Lots of good info there:

I talk about that towards the end of this videoFloobMember[quote=105686]Really Floob? i’m used the same, RPi2, overclocked Pi2, with psx bios! and here not work well during figth, its like a “slowmotion” fight, can you show me a video of how it run on yours?! thank you
[/quote]
Hmm, after watching your video, I’d say mine is similar to that. I guess I just have a low standard for playability :)
09/09/2015 at 22:19 in reply to: Creating scripts to choose between different button layouts #105750FloobMemberYou could update the system specific retroarch.cfg files instead?
/opt/retropie/configs/{systemname}/retroarch.cfgFloobMemberI use this method
FloobMemberStartx has been removed from the standard build of RetroPie.
FloobMemberI just gave that a go (Bloody Roar 2), and whilst it was playable, the audio was quite bad and stuttering.
I used “lr-pcsx-rearmed” on a overclocked Pi2. With the PSX bios in place.
FloobMember@sweden38
You can find the config file for mame4all here:
/opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/mame.cfgOr if you are using the libretro version, it is
/opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfgFloobMemberThis guide may help you
FloobMemberUpdated Wiki for Bluetooth here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-Bluetooth-controllerFloobMemberHere is a video guide showing how I went about it
FloobMember@smaikel
Which version of RetroPie are you using?
The controller file is most likely in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/FloobMember@jaymzwise
There is a very limited option listed here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pifba/files/
Which is to use the DisplayEffect option.Instead you could use the fba-libretro option which is used with RetroArch
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FinalBurn-AlphaAlthough it has fairly poor performance on a Pi1.
FloobMember@xd31 RetroArch hotkeys use only one key.
So you hold the hotkey enable button (usually “Select”), then press the hotkey you want. It wont deal with two buttons.FloobMemberCrikey. Cant be many roms for that?
I’ll have to check it out.FloobMember@pi-guy
I had a quick Google, and this chap seems to suggest using the menu editor provided
https://github.com/maxnet/berryboot/issues/105FloobMemberI guess you could cheat and use an overlay that emulates a CRT curve just outside the game area?
A bit like this
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qcpbvOffMqA/UFIzaorSucI/AAAAAAAABXg/4qJZ852KeXY/s1600/crt-background.pngFloobMemberI’m going to try and build a PiCade over the next week or so, and I’ll see how it comes out. Yes, the current one comes with a 8″ screen in the kit form, so I guess I’ll have to see if that is big enough to try out the games properly. Although I see a 12″ is offered as a separate part.
I’ve just bought a 5″ GPD XD, and they seem ok on that to be honest (although I need to work out how to get scanlines – and how to use Android!).
I totally agree with you about the clutter that all the original hardware can cause, theres no way I could realistically set all the original kit up, I just have my Megadrive hooked up to a Mega Everdrive to save faffing about with the cartridges:
http://shop.krikzz.com/Mega-EverDrive-v2-MEGAV2.htmThe Pi is great for getting all those systems in one place, and making a very portable solution. I have to say that although I’m not the pickiest person in the world about video output, you can really tell that the framemeister is a fantastic bit of kit, and really worth it for original hardware. That said, for me, a scanline based overlay really does make a big difference for RetroArch on the Pi, and one that is certainly good enough for me, the effect is very good in my opinion. Personally I quite like the ones with the TV border on the outside, there are a couple of my YouTube vids showing that. I’ve recently added Thorigs settings to the tool above as well which are slightly different. Its worth seeing what suits you best.
Here is a video that compares shaders (not overlays) to the framemeister, its not the best comparison in the world, as my TV and the youtube output dont neccessairly make the most accurate outputs, but it gives an idea:
FloobMemberYep – I have a framemeister and an SLG3000. Although I think both are overkill for the Pi unless you are wrapping it up in a project like a PiCade or similar.
I tend to use mine with my JPN Megadrive, really does make a great improvement.But I think the scanline overlays are the best bet for the Pi generally speaking.
I’ll try and do a video guide for the overlay tool soon. Its how I run mine.FloobMemberThis hotkey video may help you.
FloobMemberShort answer is, going from 2.3 to 3.0 isnt practical.
Just use a new image, it will resolve a lot of issues.FloobMemberWhich controller(s) do you use? Is it just one?
I would be tempted to delete all those files with
“sudo rm /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/*”Then reconfigure your controller with the RetroArch controller option in the retropie_setup script under the Setup menu.
“sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh”
After that, run this again
“ls -lah /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/” -
