Yes, it had to do with the ‘power switch’ bring in the ‘on’ position in configuration. Simply edit and switch to off or false. That did the trick to me.

Now I am trying to get player two joystick and buttons to work (arcade joysticks and buttons).

Wondering if I need to edit retroarch config?

I just installed drivers,set service and then rebooted with ControlBlock installed. It immediately shuts the pi down upon booting up. I see the RetroPie splash screen and then it says it is halting the system.

How do I resolve this? I do not have a power switch on the controlblock.

Is it a software config that I need to change? I believe the power switch function is set to yes originally, should I change it to false and this will resolve the issue?

I’ve been trying for 8 months to get this RetroPie arcade going. The controllers are my only issue.

Please help!!!

How about attaching your control file (retroarch.cfg)? May have to send it as a .txt file so that it is allowed.

PLEASE!!!!

Hey there chdez77076,

Would you be willing to share the config file settings you used to get things working? I am in the midst of starting over with latest image (3) and would like to have some success this time.

I would appreciate it so very much as I am sure others struggling with this issue would as well.

PLEASE

mavic19, can I please ask for assistance on getting arcade controls working?? I have built a standing arcade cabinet. I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B with an iPac controller. I have had no luck on getting it configured correctly. I am not able to play most games from most emulators.

I am in the midst of starting completely over with the newest Retropie version (3).

Are you able to assist me with retroarch configuration? PLEASE!!!!!

I have been able to get the retroarch.cfg configured so that I can play mame and only mame games. Nothing responds in other emulators. Gives me the reply that the lshift, 5,2, etc keys aren’t found. I am attaching a screen shot of that.

I tried replacing the lshift, ralt, etc with letters from keyboard, making sure that I didn’t duplicate one. But when I tried to run configuration within es, each time I pressed what it was asking for, it timed out, like it wasn’t registering my buttons.

After looking through all these posts and spending a couple of hours, I am beginning to think there’s no one real solution. It is still very frustrating.

Is there anyone out there with enough experience and patience to help an old man out!! LOL

I am a total newbie to this, but thought I was a little versed in getting the raspberry pi configured so I could play some games on a stand up arcade that I built from scratch. However…..I am having major issue with getting anything to work with my IPAC2. I have my raspberry pi with a downloaded image of retropie v2.3, a standard keyboard, my IPAC2 wired with standard arcade buttons and two joysticks. I can get the joystick to move left and right in es to maneuver thru emulators, but I cannot get it to select the game at all, much less play anything.

I simply went into /opt/retropie/configs/all and uncommented the lines for keyboard controls. Then made sure that my IPAC 2 was configured accordingly with the same values. But nothing works at all.

I am attaching my retroarch.cfg file in the hopes that someone can help this DA get his crap together. It has been very frustrating.

Thanks for any and all help.
