yes I am using emulation station and it is nice, not using an ipac though. I am using custom made controllers through the GPIO. How many joysticks and buttons are you using? what version of the Pi? Are you using an arcade joystick or something else?

[lunarkingdom]

go into game then open the controls window with tab or f1 or f2 whichever works then go down until the control you wish to change is highlighted, THEN hit enter it will now appear blank and you should be able to hit your button and have it show up, hope this helps took me a few posts to figure this out hehehe

glad my little tutorial was of some help I am a noob that has fought his way through this code and thought there should be more documentation for the procedures I went through so there you go hehehe good luck ;-)

SOLVED: did it in game lol THANKS trimtrabb

See if this sheds any light on it:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=83317

specifically this:

Open /etc/modules :

sudo nano /etc/modules

And add the line you use to load the driver :

For single controller:

mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1

For dual controllers:

mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1,2

What is the path to es_config,cfg as I would like to:

sudo nano /enter path here/es_config.cfg

so I can add the other controller and have either one control emulation station.

EDIT: User error sorry ;-)

[lunarkingdom]

And both controllers now work! My final question is:

when I open the config file like this:

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

for some reason shift and ” does not make this character I am trying to add your hotkeys and can type everything but the ” ” around the hot key, am I missing something or is it detecting my wireless keyboard incorrectly?

EDIT: Fixed, I noticed when I hit shift and ” it produced @ so I tried shift and 2 and got ” ;-)

Answered my own question:

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

[lunarkingdom]

I assume to setup joystick 1 all I have to do is change:

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

to:

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

I tried to SSH in through my iMac but was not having much luck, so I did this on the Pi:

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

and it opened the config file BUT I can not seem to edit it, is there a way for me to edit it from the Pi without using SSH as it would not connect for some reason (I already checked if it was enabled in raspy-config and it was)

[lunarkingdom]

I did ls in that folder and this is what is in it:

retroarch, retroarch-cg2g1sl, retroarch-joycionfig, retroarch-zip, retrolaunch

[lunarkingdom]

OK so I got to the part where it says:

found joypad driver: udev
using joypad: 2nd arcade GPIO controller B+

Joypads tend to have stale state after opened.
press some buttons and move some axis around to make sure joypad state is completely neutral before proceeding.
when done press enter…

It seemed neutral as nothing was happening so I hit enter and it says:

Configuring binds for player #1 for joypad #1

B button (down)

I then map my control buttons BUT there are more to do than my game pad has so I just used the last button over and over until it was done, how do I open the file I just wrote to for editing?

[lunarkingdom]

It was case sensitive thank you very much! I did the ls and it listed configs, installdir, readme.md, retroarch.cfg and shader

[lunarkingdom]

I got to cd retroarch until it told me “no such file or directory”

[lunarkingdom]

OBTW I found an error (I think) on your how to page located here:

RetroPie-Setup: An initialization script for RetroArch on the Raspberry Pi

part way down the page it says:

Then you can download the latest RetroPie setup script with

1 cd
2 git clone git://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup.git

which does not work unless you change this:

git clone git://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup.git

to this:

git clone http://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup.git

[lunarkingdom]

when I get to this part:

cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin

I get: no such file or directory
