herbfargusMemberHave you tried with lr-ppsspp just to make sure that it isn’t your game? Also did you update your setup script first before you installed it?
herbfargusMemberWhat file extension are your games and which version of psp are you using?
herbfargusMemberKeep refreshing? The server can be a bit laggy. Try the torrent link also with a client like bittorrent or utorrent
herbfargusMemberRetroarch joyconfig was depreciated and controls are now configured through the rgui. (In the event that configs fail from emulationstation)
As far as your error the only thing I can think of is a controller/hardware issue or some sort of corruption.
What kind of controller are you using
herbfargusMemberIt can be easily edited from the retropie setup script. I’ll make a wiki page on it… Eventually
herbfargusMemberWell if you come up with a solution I’d be interested in hearing it. Not that it probably can’t be done, but it definitely hasn’t been done and likely will require a recoding of emulationstation (which has no active development right now)
herbfargusMemberBut if you just want to connect to the filesystem or terminal then use winscp or putty.
herbfargusMemberOnly way I know of to record emulationstation is a capture card. I don’t know of anyone who has connected remotely and gotten it to work.
herbfargusMemberIt’s always the little things ;) glad you got it sorted.
I’ve clarified the wiki:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#default-hotkeys
herbfargusMemberPlease post your solution so that others with a similar issue can learn from your experience.
herbfargusMemberWhich emulators have you tested it on?
herbfargusMemberThat definitely would explain it.
You made sure you were in the retroarch-joypads folder first correct?
The absolute path to edit would be
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/usbgamepad.cfg12/17/2015 at 04:35 in reply to: New and want to use retropie, but not sure if I want to buy a pi… #111960herbfargusMemberHell no. Stay away from allwinner chips like the plague. Definitely no support for those – allwinner rips off gpl licenses worse than a goldigging exwife.
herbfargusMemberAnd what are the contents of usbgamepad.cfg?
sudo nano usbgamepad.cfg12/17/2015 at 03:54 in reply to: New and want to use retropie, but not sure if I want to buy a pi… #111955herbfargusMemberIf you want support, I would stick with a pi. There is some support for odroid but you will run into bugs guaranteed, and as the devs don’t have any odroid boards its unlikely theyll be addressed anytime in the near future.
I’m sure we’re all hoping for more powerful pi’s but with the recent release of the raspberry pi zero and eben uptons conversation with Eric schmidt it would seem that power has been placed on the back burner in place of portability.

Perhaps in the future maybe but I doubt anytime soon (but I could be wrong, you never know)
For simplicity and support I’d get a raspberry pi 2 and just stick with the pc for more powerful emulators for the time being.
herbfargusMemberI couldn’t get consistent results enough to test properly. as soon as I tried to test it worked fine, so I don’t know what the deal was with it. but needing to tap a button before it starts or skipping the button altogether is hardly an issue for me, but if it’s firmware or retroarch related I’m not sure how much retropie can really do about it.
herbfargusMemberYou may want to brush up on your Linux terminal command knowledge:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/ssh
The hotkey is select so its select+start not start+select.
What is the output of
ls -lah /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypadsAlso BTW that video is outdated. (I need to make a new one) the official wiki is the only thing kept consistently up to date.
herbfargusMemberIt automatically configured hotkeys when you configure your controllers through emulationstation
Are your hotkeys not working?
herbfargusMemberIf you are trying to set up controllers, why are you using your keyboard?
What kind of controllers are you using?
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberIt’s by design to show there is more in the list. Depends on how the theme is set up but typically its related to either the font size and or the font type. Or the gamelist size. They can all be edited in the themes XML file.
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberWhen you’re in retroarch (I had a similar issue with my f310 ) but if it just doesn’t configure at all I don’t know what to tell you.
herbfargusMemberZdoom has already been added.
herbfargusMemberTap the top right shoulder button
herbfargusMemberDon’t worry, I don’t see most commentary as negative.
But yeah don’t use those three lines of code they are unnecessary for the SD image.
As far as the blog and all that is concerned disregard it, its outdated and fragmented. The only thing that is kept consistently up to date is the wiki, so go by that. (I add every new feature as soon as it is added to the source code) it can be a bit to take in all at once especially for beginners but then again the pi was designed for tinkering ;)
Things are always improving and hopefully in the future we can address the fragmentation a little better. Things are definitely vastly improved from where they were a year ago.
herbfargusMemberYou raise some valid points. For the record though prior to a year ago I had never touched linux in my life so I was probably at the same level of ignorance (you have to start somewhere ;) )
So to address your points:
Ignore all the settings on this page: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup That is primarily for when people set the script up manually on a prexisting linux OS like raspbian or debian
You on the other hand are using the SD image (as you should – much easier that way) which is already prebuilt and has everything already set up on it. Using the prebuilt image is the ideal and recommended method for RetroPie, especially for beginners. It can be installed manually but typically thats for more advanced tweaking.
This is the official guide to follow when building from an SD image:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation
which is also linked on the sd image download pages.
For Linux commands:
apt-get upgrade -y dialogThat basically tells your system to upgrade dialog (which is used to display the gui menu in the terminal) completely unneccesary for you to do. the -y tells it to say yes when it asks to download the updated files.
git clone –depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.gitagain uneccessary as you are using the sd image: that basically clones the retropie setup script to your pi (which is already set up the sd card)
apt-get upgradeactually installs newer versions of the packages you have: again really unecessary unless you are needing to update specific raspbian based packages- most are handled from the setup script.
I always appreciate feedback particularly on the wiki as I’m the main maintainer of it (though it is open for anyone to edit and update) There is definitely room for improvement and I have tried to make it as clear as possible for new users.
herbfargusMemberApologies I misread your question. But its still the same answer except for its a fundamental hardware feature that was never actually possible with the original system.
herbfargusMemberI have a suggestion.
It will be easiest for you to wait for the next release of retropie which should hopefully be in the next month or so (I’m shooting for before Christmas)
Then configure your controllers as the diagrams suggest in the wiki
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#controller-configurations
And then to address your preference for the analog stick instead of the dpad there is a setting you can change from the retropie setup script for retroarch controller configs (the values are changed from 0 to 1) to make the controller use the analog stick instead of the dpad (I’ll make a wiki page with more info later when I have some time for more details)
Then as far as the n64 controls go those will be automatically configured for you with the next release of retropie as well.
herbfargusMemberHotkeys are only enabled for player one.
herbfargusMemberAlways good to have a second opinion ;)
herbfargusMemberIt’s all in the documentation:
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki
Retropie: the whole project together.- basically a customised Linux distribution built on top of raspbian.
(https://www.petrockblock.com/retropie/)Retroarch: an emulator front end for many emulators (in the form of cores) retroarch makes controller configurations easier to manage and adds support for shaders, hotkeys, savestates, etc. (http://www.libretro.com)
Emulationstation: the front end for launching and managing games (its the first interface you see when it boots up) (http://www.emulationstation.org)
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberCheck the source of your roms, did you update your setup script first before updating the n64 binaries?
