Yes it is available … just follow my instructions!

[killer101]

Take a look at this thread ” Pi2: PSX Sound issues”.

Maybe this will fix your problem.

[killer101]

It can’t be so hard to download the right version?!

At Barry’s site … FB Alpha … Previous Versions!

There is all you need …

I don’t know what Romset do you have, but I can’t believe RomCenter is only able to repair 1 out of 300 roms?!? And yes, the neogeo.zip is also specific to the used emulator!

Maybe get yourself another romset!

[killer101]

I had have an issue too with connecting wirelessly to a PS3 Controller. The hci was always down.

Try adding these 2 lines before the line “exit 0” to the file etc/rc.local

hciconfig hci0 up
hciconfig hci0 piscan

Fixed it for me!

[killer101]

Excellent, thanks!

[killer101]

Just tried your scraper. Very good work, saves quite some time.

There is one function that I miss. It would be nice to have an option to “fake images”!

To explain …

I have all the screenshots I need right at hand and don’t want to use the ones provided by whom ever. A function to add the image information to the gamelist file whether or not it is found in a database would be great!

[killer101]

I think that is why you have most of the games running under FBA. I just came across it while searching for the coin problem. To test it run ’88 Games in MAME and there it is.

[killer101]

You’re right, but I personally don’t care if I have to press left trigger + start or select + start on all emulators. That is for everybody to decide for themselves.

If you use my solution, you will also get rid of the coin problem in mame. It’s the same like with FBA.

[killer101]

Considering polluxpt solution I found a somewhat easier solution for autodetect controllers like the PS3 one.

Just go to …

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

Find the config file for your controller and change the line

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “0”

to another button.

Here “0” stand for the Select button on the PS3 Controller. I changed it to “8” which is the left trigger. No more coin problem!

To exit an emulator you must now press left trigger and start!

[killer101]

If your controller isn’t autodetected and you have made your settings directly in the retroarch.cfg, look for a parameter called something like autodetection and set it to false. Add the lines mentioned above to the retroarch.cfg and see what happens. Maybe it will work.

[killer101]

Can’t say anything about the XBOX Controller. But just simply test it. I’m pretty sure there is a autoconfig file for 360 Controller. Just insert the lines mentioned above and see for yourself.

[killer101]

You can’t download the database from Barry Harris. You need to download the FBA Emulator itself facing the right version (to find somewhere in old releases). Start it up. Somewhere in the menu is a button to extract the database info to a file. RomCenter is able to import this file!

I know the whole thing sounds complex. But if you invest just a little bit of time you will understand who this works. It is just enough to go with RomCenter. Stay away from clrmamepro, you need a doctors grade to master this one! ;-)

[killer101]

Can’t say that, this is for you to decide. One indication is the OSD in Retroarch when starting a game. Mine displays a short message that it autodetects the PS3 Controller and which file it is using!

[killer101]

That should work. Both version are not far away from each other, maybe all roms will run out of the box. But see for yourself while running the romset against the database with Romcenter. It can repair a lot of misnamed roms.

There is no default emulator in Retropie. Just put your Roms in the fba-libretro folder and your mostly good to go. If not, fix the es_config to your needs.

[killer101]

Hi,

I ran over the same problem while trying to play ’88 Games. This happened with the FBA libretro core. To test it, I ran ’88 Games against the MAME libretro core (I think it’s based on iMame4All) and the result was the same. Maybe it’s not a core fault, seems to be an issue with RetroArch.

[killer101]

Recompiling done. Works! Now I’m good with the none libretro version and my ps3 controller.

[killer101]

I have issues with the mapping of the controller buttons on a ps3 controller. Now I decided to take a look at the sourcecode. The button layout is hardcoded there (the non libretro version). I’d made some changes to the source and recompiling is running now. Maybe this will solve my problem with the ps3 controller.

[killer101]

If retroarch autodetects your controller the config files are in here …

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

[killer101]

Try adding this to whatever config file you are using …

input_up_axis = “-1”
input_down_axis = “+1”
input_left_axis = “-0”
input_right_axis = “+0”

input_analog_dpad_mode = “1”

[killer101]

I just set my /boot/config.txt to 720p and every emulator too (via the popup when starting the game). Mostly that’s why I don’t want the TV to change resolution all the time (I think the internal rendering of the emulators uses smaller sizes but the picture gets upscaled). Works great for me!

[killer101]

Where did you get a scummvm-libretro core? Nothing here in my 2.6 RetroPie Image!

[killer101]

/etc/emulationstation/

[killer101]

Disconnect the controller and setup emulationsstation with a keyboard. After this exit emulationstation and disconnect keyboard. Reboot. ES will not prompt for a joystick anymore. Then setup the controller from inside ES.

[killer101]

As far as I know the standard retroarch controller config is set to autodetect the controller. If detected, the config files in /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs are used to map the controls. In my case with a PS3 Controller it is working like this. Somewhere I read that the PS4 Controller is identified as a PS3 Contoller by retroarch?! In this case, these files are used too.

I didn’t think that the ES Controller config has anything to do with the retroarch config. Maybe I’m wrong…!

For the analog controls I wrote this to another post. It is related to PS3 Controllers, maybe it will work with PS4 ones.

Go to
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

Edit all PS3-Controller related config files and add the following lines:

input_up_axis = “-1″
input_down_axis = “+1″
input_left_axis = “-0″
input_right_axis = “+0″

Then the left analog stick works like the D-Pad!

[killer101]

Talking about arcade and neogeo roms (including neogeo.zip) there are a lot of different sets for different emulators out there. You need the right sets to match the emulator and the version of the emulator. The same old game like with mame roms.

Where to start? You need to verify the romset against the database according to the emulator. For the fba-libreto core of the 2.6 RetroPie Image it is version 0.2.97.30. Get yourself the database file of this version (for example export it from the windows version of FBA 029730) which you can download from the homepage of Barry Harris.

After this download a program called RomCenter which can verify and repair sets for a given database. This program is much easier to handle than the good old clrmame.

When you are done with that, you have the perfect set for this version of fba-libretro and everything should work fine. It does for me!

[killer101]

Not for me. Didn’t touch it with the Pi2!

[killer101]

Yep, for me the NeoGeo Games work perfect on the fba-libreto too.

[killer101]

Just set it up yesterday and for me it works like a charm. Even games like Street Fighter III (CPS3) runs great!

Can’t say anything about a correct aspect ratio …

[killer101]

Go to
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

Edit all PS3-Controller related config files and add the following lines:

input_up_axis = “-1″
input_down_axis = “+1″
input_left_axis = “-0″
input_right_axis = “+0″

Then the left analog stick works like the D-Pad!

Have fun!

[killer101]

Hi,

I just got my new Pi 2 and started a fresh install of RetroPie 2.6. Had the same problem with the analog sticks in Retroarch.

Here’s how it works …

Go to
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

Edit all PS3-Controller related config files and add the following lines:

input_up_axis = “-1”
input_down_axis = “+1”
input_left_axis = “-0”
input_right_axis = “+0”

Then the left analog stick works like the D-Pad!

Have fun!

[killer101]

PiFBA works. No question.

I try to figure out why the libretto version don’t work!
