I found the following solution

sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils

xset s off
xset -dpms
xset s noblank

does anyone know how to autoexecute the script?

[quote=88114]Are you just trying to get ROMs to your Pi?

I just ask because if you want the best possible performance when playing games, adding packages to the Pi is not the way to go. If it were me, I would just use SCP to copy the files from the Mac to the Pi. For example, from terminal on the Mac

scp <local file> <remote user>@<remote machine>:<remote path>

Thanks, I usually FTP the roms, but I wanted to set up a share to a dropbox directory that is “live” updated with new pictures to use in a picture viewer

[quote=88092]Hi,

i’m sure you’ve read already a hole bunch of tutorials, but i found a nice one here:

https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/14201-howto-automount-afpsmb-shares-using-autofs/

First i would try to check this command and to see what happends:
sudo automount -vc

also i recognized in your mounting textline:

NAME:/shared /home/pi/NAME/shared url automounted,url==afp://id:pw@NAME/Shared 0 0

first you write your share in lower case:
NAME:/shared

but you finish with upper case
=afp://id:pw@NAME/Shared

i’m not sure but i could imagine that mounting in fstab is case sensitive

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

[quote=87977]with the xbox 360 controller, you just need to start the driver with –dapad-as-button, so in rc.local like this:

xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --dapad-as-button --id 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &

Since it sounds like you’re using a controller other than an xbox 360 controller, this exact setup won’t work for you. What I was getting as is that you’ll somehow need to trick MAME into thinking it’s receiving button input.

Thanks, let me keep digging!

[quote=87844]xboxdrv with –dpad-as-button to get the dpad to work in mame. You’ll probably need something similar.[/quote]

Interesting- where is that configured/setup?

[juan9999]

“Silly question, did you hit TAB on the keyboard and change the settings like in the video from Floob?”

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did, and was able to program all the other buttons

[juan9999]

update- migrating from 2.3 to 2.5 did not change anything…

[juan9999]

Ok, so I upgraded to 2.5 of the emulator, and it mostly fixed my first issue- now the two generic N64 USB controllers work (except for the analogue joystick) my retroarch.cfg got corrupted

and the second issue was due to the wrong type of “quotes”

– How can I get the analogue controls working? When I run the

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Here is what was visible on the screen when I was programming the controller

Up D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 1, Value -20945
Down D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 1, Value 23002
Left D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 0, Value -20174
Right D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 0, Value 22745

and here is what was added on

input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_b_btn = “2”
input_player1_y_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “8”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_btn = “h0up”
input_player1_down_btn = “h0down”
input_player1_left_btn = “h0left”
input_player1_right_btn = “h0right”
input_player1_a_btn = “1”
input_player1_x_btn = “0”
input_player1_l_btn = “4”
input_player1_r_btn = “5”
input_player1_l2_btn = “4”
input_player1_r2_btn = “5”
input_player1_l3_btn = “7”
input_player1_r3_btn = “7”
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = “-1”

[juan9999]

ok, so I’ve tried analyzing the

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

file, and I only see a player 1 config, no player 2 config

Also,

I’ve tried adding the following commands to be able to exit the emulator

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “7”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “9”

to
opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/GenericUSBJoystick.cfg

but they don’t work either… what are the correct files/locations to debug?

Does anyone have the proper config files for two retrolink USB N64 controllers with the analogue joystick as I am unable to get that to work?
