petrockblogKeymasterif you exit emulationstation with f4, then wait and launch it again does it work ? (after configuring it and rebooting)
petrockblogKeymasterThe issue tracker on github is a better place for bug reports (especially when confirmed by more than one user). I opened a ticket for you
petrockblogKeymasterIt is available on 3.0rc1 (it requires additional files to work though which you have to find yourself – it mentions this if it doesn’t find them on launch).
petrockblogKeymasteropenelec != raspbian
openelec include their own kernel and 3rd party drivers etc.
I would search how to get your wifi up and running on raspbian (as this not related to retropie).
petrockblogKeymasterlr-fmsx or ? try bluemsx – I believe fmsx has some limitations with control input.
petrockblogKeymasterAlternatively you could disable the launching of the joy2key code so it would not be activated by a joypad movement/press.
petrockblogKeymasterAlso, feel free to submit a pull request if you make the ControlBlock driver configurable :-)
petrockblogKeymasterGood idea to make the number of gamepads configurable. Until then, setting
NUMGAMEPADSto 1 should do the trick.petrockblogKeymasterto edit that file you need to use “sudo”:
sudo nano /etc/controlblockconfig.cfgpetrockblogKeymasterIt sounds as if the switch always sends an “OFF” signal.
petrockblogKeymasterEither press f4 on keyboard / then press a key and drop to terminal, cd to RetroPie-Setup folder, and run sudo ./retropie_setup.sh – in the supplementary menu is an option “Install XBox contr. 360 driver”
you can do it from a remote ssh connection also.
petrockblogKeymasterDid you first install the xbox 360 userspace driver ?
petrockblogKeymasterI would say nothing major will change from rc1 to the final – so you can install the rc1 now, and later update retropie-setup and do another full binary install later.
07/27/2015 at 13:13 in reply to: Select+triangle doesnt work to open Retroarch menu after RC1 update #102835petrockblogKeymasterthe system configures those lines in a per controller configuration in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ directory – not in retroarch.cfg
petrockblogKeymasteralso – if an emulator supports core input remapping. you can remap from the gui, save the remapping, and then add input_remapping_path to the retroarch.cfg pointing to it.
petrockblogKeymasterremove the _btn from the lines?
Keyboard configurations don’t contain _btn but instead look like
input_player1_a = key
etc
petrockblogKeymasterstartx will just start the X server / environment and by default just start xterm, not the browser (You also shouldn’t be running it as root). RetroPie doesn’t come with a full X desktop environment to keep the size down.
if you have installed midori, you can start it by installing a window manager and making a small script
sudo apt-get install matchbox-window-managerthen create a script in your homedir called browser.sh containing
#!/bin/bash matchbox-window-manager & midorimake sure it has executable permissions (chmod u+x browser.sh)
then you can do
xinit ~/browser.shto launch X and run the script which loads the window manager and browser.
07/24/2015 at 15:00 in reply to: Bug in latest release 3 RC 1 – main retroarch.cfg not dominant? #102649petrockblogKeymasterBecause by design the other configs should override the main config – and the video smooth setting is set for all that have shader configs. It was a bug before that the individual ones did not override the main config due to the ordering in the files.
just remove the setting from each config, and you are done.
petrockblogKeymasterif you get the latest retropie rc1 – it should set up the hotkeys for controllers that output keypresses in the same way as gamepads meaning the “select” button is needed to activate a hotkey. This way hotkeys are not triggered by accident because of mapping overlaps.
petrockblogKeymasterWouldn’t it be better to compare against a rpi2 ?
XBox is decent for emulation – but so is RetroPie imho (and improving all the time).
petrockblogKeymasterI would just buy a new wireless dongle, one that has a well supported chipset. No point fighting each time with drivers when you can pick them up for a few pounds.
petrockblogKeymasterit’s up to the core, but you can remap buttons in the retroarch gui.
press select+X to enter the gui. Choose “Quick menu”
You can then choose “Core Input Remapping Options” – from there you can remap buttons as needed. Then save it with “Save Core Remap File”. It will save it to /opt/retropie/configs/platform/libretro_core_name/libretro_core_name.rmp – you can then manually edit
/opt/retropie/configs/platform/retroarch.cfg and include the file with
input_remapping_path = “/opt/retropie/configs/libretro_core_name/libretro_core_name.rmp”
and it will be loaded automatically.
petrockblogKeymasterfrom terminal
cd [roms folder] rename -n "s/#//g" *remove -n to actually do the renaming.
petrockblogKeymasterThanks. Fixed in RetroPie now.
petrockblogKeymasterThere isn’t a guaranteed upgrade route really, apart from backing up your games etc, and restoring them on the new image (and keeping copies of any configs, you will need to manually restore them – some locations have changed etc).
Doing a full binary install might work to upgrade, but I can’t guarantee it, and it will need some intervention if doing it like that to merge in new config changes.
Easier to start afresh.
petrockblogKeymasterIt says on the wiki page. You place the bios files in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
if it doesn’t work there I will need more information. Is there anything logged in /tmp/runcommand.log ?
07/14/2015 at 16:06 in reply to: [SOLVED] Hotkeys configuration : Switch the shaders ingame (Retropie v.3b4) #102031petrockblogKeymasterupdate retroarch from binary via menu 5 in retropie-setup. there are multiple retroarch bugs in the last image which have been solved since.
petrockblogKeymasterSorry I hadn’t committed the change – it’s now done so updating retropie-setup will get you the new code.
petrockblogKeymasterok. I have added a new env variable.
if you do
sudo __nodialog=1 ./retropie_packages.sh setup binariesall info dialogs will instead just use echo and output to terminal.
petrockblogKeymasterno need to do that :)
just do
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh setup binarieswhich calls the “binaries” function of the setup module.
it will show a dialog at the end though – maybe I can change that so it only does a dialog if run directly from the gui.
petrockblogKeymasterssh in, or press f4, then a key after it to stop emulationstation restarting
petrockblogKeymaster@sudobarn: Also to you – very glad to hear that!
petrockblogKeymasterit works, but you need to restart for those buttons to work (after first config they dont, but as soon as emulationstation restarts they do).
petrockblogKeymasteryou could just mount the network driver over the roms folder btw, that way you don’t need to adjust the emulationstation configuration.
petrockblogKeymasteryou can do it manually by editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and entering the presses for player2
