You can set the first one, power down, unplug that one, then plug the next controller in and ES will set that one for RetroArch as well.

Or you can use the RetroPie-Setup script as you have done before, as that will still work.

[Floob]

When you say Neo Geo – you mean libretro-fba as opposed to pifba?

What do you get when you type:
grep -rnw ‘/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/’ -e “USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad”

[Floob]

Can you remove your existing gamelist.xml then see what populates in the new one when it is created?

[Floob]

Yep – run “scraper –help” for all the flags.

pi@retropie ~ $ scraper –help

Usage of scraper:
  -add_not_found=false: If true, add roms that are not found as an empty gamelist entry.
  -append=false: If the gamelist file already exist skip files that are already listed and only append new files.
  -download_images=true: If false, don't download any images, instead see if the expected file is stored locally already.
  -gdb_img="b": Comma seperated order to prefer images, s=snapshot, b=boxart, f=fanart, a=banner, l=logo.
  -hash_file="": The file containing hash information.
  -image_dir="images": The directory to place downloaded images to locally.
  -image_path="images": The path to use for images in gamelist.xml.
  -image_suffix="-image": The suffix added after rom name when creating image files.
  -img_format="jpg": jpg or png, the format to write the images.
  -mame=false: If true we want to run in MAME mode.
  -mame_img="s,t,m,c": Comma seperated order to prefer images, s=snap, t=title, m=marquee, c=cabniet.
  -max_width=400: The max width of images. Larger images will be resized.
  -nested_img_dir=false: Use a nested img directory structure that matches rom structure.
  -no_thumb=false: Don't add thumbnails to the gamelist.
  -output_file="gamelist.xml": The XML file to output to.
  -retries=2: The number of times to retry a rom on an error.
  -rom_dir=".": The directory containing the roms file to process.
  -rom_path=".": The path to use for roms in gamelist.xml.
  -scrape_all=false: If true, scrape all systems listed in es_systems.cfg. All dir/path flags will be ignored.
  -skip_check=false: Skip the check if thegamesdb.net is up.
  -start_pprof=false: If true, start the pprof service used to profile the application.
  -strip_unicode=true: If true, remove all non-ascii characters.
  -thumb_only=false: Download the thumbnail for both the image and thumb (faster).
  -thumb_suffix="-thumb": The suffix added after rom name when creating thumb files.
  -use_cache=false: Use sselph backup of thegamesdb.
  -use_filename=false: If true, use the filename minus the extension as the game title in xml.
  -use_gdb=true: Use the hash.csv and theGamesDB metadata.
  -use_nointro_name=true: Use the name in the No-Intro DB instead of the one in the GDB.
  -use_ovgdb=false: Use the OpenVGDB if the hash isn't in hash.csv.
  -workers=1: The number of worker threads used to process roms.

Although in the meantime patrickm has provided some great overlays which really do make a big improvement. I’m using overlays instead of shaders now.

You could try this:

[Floob]

You could try this flag:
-download_images=false

The guide is here:

[Floob]

They should all be set in your auto controller.

What do you get if you type this
grep -rnw '/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/' -e "USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad"

That should show you where your auto controller is (as you have an iBuffalo)
Although you may get multiple results.

This is an older video, but it shows how the auto files work

[Floob]

In your main retroarch.cfg

Remove these lines
input_enable_hotkey_btn = 6
input_exit_emulator_btn = 7

Just to be tidy, comment this out:
input_menu_toggle = f1
with
# input_menu_toggle = f1

Replace your entire fba retroarch.cfg file with

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"
# All settings made here will override the global settings for the current emulator core
input_remapping_directory = /opt/retropie/configs/fba/
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "4"

This will make your left shoulder button the hotkey enable button.
So when you hold that and press Start it should exit the emulator.

You also had these settings which you may or may not want to add

custom_viewport_width = “823”
custom_viewport_height = “480”
custom_viewport_x = “15”
custom_viewport_y = “0”
video_refresh_rate = “50.000000”
video_fullscreen_x = “640”
video_fullscreen_y = “480”

I’d suggest leaving them out.

[Floob]

If you send me your auto controller file, system retroarch and main retroarch file I could check out where the issue is. Or just paste them up on pastebin.

[Floob]

Try putting this line in your file:
/opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “4”

It should set the left shoulder button as the hotkey for fba-libretro only.

[Floob]

Check out the overscan info here:

[Floob]

Yep. Details are here:

MAME versions and romsets on RetroPie

Its the same folder for the roms though. So you choose one fba variant or the other really.

[Floob]

Try this one

[Floob]

Yes, cutting out either .cue or .bin should do the trick. It seems that even for bins that have several audio tracks inside the emulator will look for the .cue so kicking of the game with either should work.

[Floob]

You’re probably better off opening a new thread for that, as this thread is mainly concerned with using overlays as per patl settings, as opposed to shaders.

[Floob]

This may help:

PSX 7zip not showing

[Floob]

Emulation Station will currently see these files:
.bin .cbn .cue .img .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .z .znx

Some info on the Wiki here:
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1

Good tip there about the BIOS (although libretro-pcsx-rearmed does have a basic inbuilt bios that will support some games)

I’ll try to do a video on PSX soon – but its pretty easy unless there are multiple tracks/CDs. (I take .cue out of Emulation Station so it doesnt show duplicates.)

[Floob]

Try here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!ucRBXYxT!U9Qkr4CPT7r8ceO3mRKhj6uusDgzXqXvz9C4dIuv91U

[Floob]

Is that for Pi1 or Pi2?

[Floob]

Hotkey overview here:

It will be in here:
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

[Floob]

If its mame4all delete this file to reset
/opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/cfg/default.cfg

[Floob]

Can I confirm the input device you are trying to remap? Which keyboard/joypad is it?

Maybe attach, or post on pastbin your auto controller file, system specific and main retroarch file and I could see if there is anything obvious there?

[Floob]

Are you talking about mame?

[Floob]

Clones will need parents. But parents dont need clones.

Some info here:
http://easyemu.mameworld.info/mameguide/mameguide-roms.html

The link in my first post shows how to remove clones.

[Floob]

You could remove the clones?

MAME versions and romsets on RetroPie

[Floob]

I’m afraid I dont have a jpac to test further, but the re-assignment of keyboard keys in the example (in the fba2x.cfg) above worked for me.

[Floob]

Watch the very boring one here, as that talks about paths and configs.

[Floob]

You can do it on a per system basis with the retroarch.cfg files here:
/opt/retropie/configs/{systemname}/retroarch.cfg

[Floob]

If you are using a standard gamepad try this:

sudo rm /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/Retrolink_USB_SEGA_Saturn_Classic_Controller.cfg

It will remove a potential duplication issue in that file.

[Floob]

No need to update if you are using the image, you could but I wouldnt say it would benefit you really.

What problem are you having with the controller configs?

[Floob]

It should move off that screen if you press X, or a button on your controller. Have you tried pressing a few buttons there?

[Floob]

Thanks for that.

[Floob]

well – some games in fba-libretro really dont like select being the hotkey, some games wont accept select as the coin button. So its common to set for fba-libretro, the hotkey to be something else like left trigger for example (you just override it in the fba retroarch.cfg).
This way it seems to improve compatibility.

Details here:

FBA Retroarch core – coin controls

Out of interest, what does your neogeo.zip for fba look like?
Mine is here (which is based on the dat file):
http://s15.postimg.org/z9s9oyqff/neo.png

[Floob]

I guess it needs a new advancemame directory here:
/etc/emulationstation/themes/simple

You could copy the mame one and put in your own image I guess (then edit the es_systems.cfg)
