sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

sounds like you removed some packages it relies on or something else has happened.

[petrockblog]

Did you try the other libretro emulator lr-catsfc which will use the autogenerated controller configuration ? There is also pocketsnes, and armsnes (these are faster but less accurate).

[petrockblog]

Some thoughts:

Which Raspbian / RetroPie image are you using?
Are you overclocking?
Are the controllers properly connected to the sockets and the sockets, in turn, with the GPIO Adapter?
How long are the cables? SNESDev is tested with standard SNES controllers so far.
It sounds as if the timing is somehow off, yes.
What is the CPU load of the SNESDev service?

[petrockblog]

the binary is built – not working could be completely unrelated. Please detail the problem you are having.

[petrockblog]

they are not errors, only warnings due to incorrect clock on system vs dates on fils.

[petrockblog]

If you are getting more lag when overclocking, you might want to check your PSU/USB Cable. Perhaps you have power supply issues causing this.

[petrockblog]

you might want to try changing the video_threaded setting to false which could improve input lag.

[petrockblog]

video_hard_sync is unused on the RPI.

[petrockblog]

Yep. for example if you want a custom es_systems.cfg you can create one in ~/.emulationstation and it will be used over the retropie one. You will of course then have to manually update it if there are changes to the way things are launched etc.

[petrockblog]

you should use /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes and not mess with /etc/emulationstation permissions etc – also 777 is never a good idea, as it makes it writable to any user, and is the wrong permissions for files (sets the executable bit).

[petrockblog]

You can do a basic test of those controls by using the command
jstest /dev/input/js1
When you have verified that, you can go on and configure the specific emulator(s).

[petrockblog]

Glad that you figured it out yourself already. Yes, Jessie is still not officially supported because of those observations.

If one of the SNES controllers is not working, it might be a connection problem with the data line of that controller.

[petrockblog]

without slowdown on what set up ? Pi1 ? Pi2 ? uae4arm is getting more development currently. Have you overclocked also ? What settings are you using ?

[petrockblog]

The wiki is user editable, and the Wii U Pro page is a user contributed page – I guess Jessie is working ok for them currently. Jessie is mentioned in the main README.md https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/README.md

[petrockblog]

Just to re-iterate – when reporting problems please give all information. Especially if doing major changes like upgrading a distribution. I need this information to advise – if not it is a massive waste of my time :(

[petrockblog]

You had upgraded to Jessie ? You should have mentioned that. Please don’t use Jessie just yet – especially if you will have any difficulties debugging issues.

Splashscreen does work on Jessie, but boot settings in raspi-config need changing. Also if you upgrade to Jessie there are other things that could change that need sorting.

[petrockblog]

and disabling overclock just to make sure it’s not causing fbi to crash when booting or something (if it’s not a stable overclock for example).

[petrockblog]

avoid_safe_mode is not needed and is removed from current firmwares.

you’ve not changed anything else ? no changes to /boot/cmdline.txt ? No other changes that could affect it ? can’t think why it isn’t working I’m afraid, you might need to try a fresh image and copy your configs over.

[petrockblog]

do you get any errors logged at startup? have you adjusted any kernel or boot parameters ?

You have raspi-config set to boot to terminal not into X?

also try

insserv -r asplashscreen
insserv asplashscreen

[petrockblog]

everything looks in order.

from a terminal (directly on the rpi rather than via ssh) does the following work ?

fbi -l /etc/splashscreen.list

[petrockblog]

also from a terminal please post the output of

md5sum /etc/init.d/asplashscreen

[petrockblog]

which splashscreen ? post the contents of /etc/splashscreen.list (can see it via option 6 of splashscreen configuration – manually edit splashscreen list)

[petrockblog]

get a new cable, or decent 2amp psu

[petrockblog]

it was a bug that was fixed a few days ago. update retropie-setup script, and then go to splashscreens configuration, and update splashscreens

[petrockblog]

there are some existing threads on the forum with info.

[petrockblog]

Could be a power issue yep – Please try another USB power cable, combined with the ipad charger (which should be 2.1a or so).

[petrockblog]

When you say you tried different chargers, did you use the same USB cable or have tried different cables?

[petrockblog]

Sounds like a problem with your setup. if you press f4, and drop to a terminal (you will need to press another key) can you type on the keyboard ?

are you using any hub or anything ? Which controller are you using ? Can you confirm the controller works on another machine

[petrockblog]

And you are definitely holding down a button on one of the devices? (obvious question, but just to check).

[petrockblog]

What PSU do you have ? Does it help if you have only one of the devices connected ?

[petrockblog]

yeh – just like that.

[petrockblog]

omxplayer handles most stuff I have thrown at it. MP4 is a container though, so it depends on the codec etc.

[petrockblog]

you can reconfigure it from the “start menu”. if you are unable to navigate, you could unplug the controller, and it should prompt and you could use a keyboard, or alternatively go to retropie-setup and choose to re-install emulationstation from binary which will reset the config.

[petrockblog]

if it skips to next button due to controller sensitivity, when you get to “ok” you can go up and correct the bad inputs without starting from scratch.
