petrockblogKeymasterthe joy2key feature currently uses the first axis on the joypad – so dpad on some, and on others it might be an analog stick. It works on my xbox and ibuffalo controllers at least.
petrockblogKeymasterTO be on a safer side you can add a 220R resistor. However, it is not absolutely needed from what I have experiences so far.
The current revision of the ControlBlock does not come with a series resistor for the LED, but this will change with an upcoming revision.petrockblogKeymasteralternatively you could comment out the joy2key lines so it ignored joystick input.
changes like this would get overwritten when updating – I do plan at some point to use the ES configured controls for the joy2key functionality.
Are you using the ps3controller driver ? That has the accelerometer disabled by default afair.
petrockblogKeymasterThere is a compatibility list on the wiki – you might need to switch emulator/rendering driver etc.
petrockblogKeymasteryou can choose whatever mapping you want. You can have player 1 start as the up control if you wanted.
Map what feels comfortable – you can remap per emulator on top if needed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liJKFUZX4PM) – you can see on the retropie wiki for each system how the retroarch buttons map to each controller to work out what might be best for your xarcade stick.
petrockblogKeymasterits already fixed – update the emulator from menu 5 in retropie-setup.
petrockblogKeymastercan be done from retropie-setup
petrockblogKeymasternot 100% sure what you are asking – you need to know xarcade mapping ? it should be in the manual etc
petrockblogKeymasterthe default emulator should run at full speed on a model B
Please try:
a) overclock to at least “medium”
b) turn on threaded_video as described in the link below.

petrockblogKeymasterothers have reported it solves it for them. so dont know. maybe another problem ?
petrockblogKeymaster1. depends on how many files / games you want to put on it
2. yes
3. which standard 1a psu ? The one on their website is 2a – http://swag.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply you will need a 2a PSU for reliable working / and to use USB peripheralspetrockblogKeymasterdid you do the other things i mentioned – removing usbmount ?
petrockblogKeymasterIt’s easier to understand if you don’t abbreviate words like “you”. I’m too old to appreciate/understand txtspk.. :)
Change the last 2 to a 3 in fstab in the line starting with UUID=45885bbb-3164-4d6d-9a0e-809b428475c2 (or change it to a 0 to skip the filesysten check).
“man fstab” to learn more about these numbers.
And also make sure the usbmount daemon is not enabled as mentioned earlier (apt-get remove it)
petrockblogKeymasterfstab is not complete – you should have more than 1 line in /etc/fstab
not sure what the rest of your message means but I’m saying to make sure the usbmount daemon is not running.
Are you using google translate ? :) y = you ?
petrockblogKeymasteralso make sure you have the “USB ROM service” disabled. (can be done from retropie-setup). you might want to
sudo apt-get remove usbmountalso.petrockblogKeymasterplayer 2 for keyboard based controllers has to be done manually – I have already explained this earlier – is anyone listening? :) [edit] actually I explained it on another thread – but just yesterday.
manually edit configs/all/retroarch.cfg and duplicate the config entries for player 2 but using “player_2” instead.
This has also been brought up multiple times – Here’s one solution https://github.com/scottnath/retropie-with-dual-x-arcades
Even if not using the solution above, you can see from it the config lines for the controllers – adjust as needed.
petrockblogKeymasteryou should put log output between code tags on the forum for readability.
Also – that is not a complete fstab – When postting logs/configs, please post complete logs (via pastebin if they are large).
petrockblogKeymasterhttp://serverfault.com/a/43636
Add the uid/gid of the pi user. (Probably uid=1000,gid=1000)
petrockblogKeymasterPlease share your fix so it can be of help to anyone else who may come across this thread. thanks.
petrockblogKeymasteryou would need to upload a log to a pastebin site and link it. logs are generated in the logs folder by date etc.
petrockblogKeymasterwhether or not you think there is a risk, you don’t run this forum. It’s wise to be discreet when discussing things. You got that reply due to your last paragraph in the first post. I thought the same TBH.
petrockblogKeymasterthe plaeyr 2 inputs wont show up in the retropie input config thing until they are uncommented from the config file.
petrockblogKeymastermap the keys manually via editing configs/all/retroarch.cfg (see how player 1 is configured). you can do this from the config editor under supplementary.

petrockblogKeymasteremulationstation doesn’t run on X – so that config file is unrelated. Emulationstation uses the Pi GPU apis directly DISPMANX / GLES (via SDL2)
It may well be that this will not be compatible with that display – you would have to speak to the vendor.
09/15/2015 at 19:03 in reply to: Emulation station does not recognize resolution from config.txt #106143petrockblogKeymasterES won’t use the framebuffer width/height values. You could try switching to a 4:3 screenmode though.
you can pass emulationstation a
--resolution WIDTH HEIGHTparameter to change the render resolution which might help. you would need to edit /usr/bin/emulationstation to add the parameters or make your own launch script in /usr/local/binhowever it may not position correctly on your screen, but it’s worth a try
you may have performance issue using display_rotate btw – unfortunately es has no rotation setting of its own even though retroarch etc does.
petrockblogKeymasterPerhaps there is a problem with the latest firmware – did you see if doing
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgradeon a working raspbian wheezy to see if that breaks things also ?
petrockblogKeymasterThere are no differences regarding retropie and raspbian wheezy in terms of this apart from overscan_scale=1 being set by retropie in /boot/config.txt and retropie image having a splashscreen on boot (which can be disabled)
you can install retropie on top of raspbian, so perhaps start with a working raspbian image and go from there ?
petrockblogKeymasterPlease can you link me to the display you bought ?
petrockblogKeymasterif you disable emulationstation on bootup (via retropie-setup / supplementary menu), and boot into console, does the resolution look correct ?
If not, you might want to try changing some config.txt related settings. Although I know little about this screen / hardware though and need to read up on it.
petrockblogKeymasterif you exit out of emulationstation without launching any games, does it still do this ?
petrockblogKeymasternot support with the default emu. the uae4arm emulator may support it (would need to check docs of this emulator). What you could do it set it to boot to a HD with whdload installed games – which will then run quicker than running games off floppy.
petrockblogKeymasterif you are using a keyboard you may well prefer another emulator – the default is a libretro emulator designed for operating with joystick etc. switch to “fuse” and you can use a keyboard as standard.
