petrockblogKeymasterit has been updated. also building and linking against a new libspectrum rather than the older debian one, and includes a change to disable the mouse pointer
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/d4c22886904683ff8115bb4cd24b73c906599bac
petrockblogKeymasterjust FYI it was updated a few days ago to include armv7 optimisation.
Please use the github bugtracker for stuff like this, or even better a pull request ;-)
petrockblogKeymasterplease download retropie 2.6 for the rpi2 and go from there. thanks.
petrockblogKeymasterI would start to check the connections between the adapter and the SNES connectors. Maybe there is mix-up with the connections.
petrockblogKeymasterJust to make sure: Can you show the content of
/etc/snesdev.cfg?Also, does the button work? You could test this with the little test program that comes with SNESDev, see https://github.com/petrockblog/SNESDev-RPi/tree/master/supplementary/testButton.
petrockblogKeymasterYou certainly would need to control the GPIO pin, which is not a problem since you can access the GPIO expander via I2C – the addresses are 0x20 and 0x27.
You would also need to adapt the SNES module https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService/blob/master/src/controlblock/SNESGamepad.cpp and add some keyboard observing code similar to the one in https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService/blob/master/src/controlblock/MAMEGamepad.cpp.
Hope that points you into a helpful direction!?
petrockblogKeymasterGlad that you figured it out. And sorry for the faulty USB connector. Just send me an email if you would like to get an sort of compensation or similar!

*hint* People on the freenode #retropie irc channel often get to test new images before release btw ;-)

New images should be available very soon.
petrockblogKeymasteryou could use another neogeo emulator? :)
petrockblogKeymasterI don’t have a usb controller for testing unfortunately – but it works on keyboard.
petrockblogKeymastermost games can run with the free aros kickstart btw – which is included.
1.3 is probably the most compatible for old games etc.
maybe choose a specific game, and I’ll advise – you may want half meg chip + half meg fast (some games may not like 1mb chip ram).
petrockblogKeymasterThe power switch will only work with a single power supply attached to the ControlBlock. For what I experienced, the micro USB cable can also have an impact: In my case I had to used a very cheap one that seems to lead to quite a high voltage drop. There are also some posts about this in the official RPi forum, e.g., at http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=370520#p370520.
What does
sudo i2cdetect -y 1give as output? This checks for I2C devices …petrockblogKeymasterThis was a bug in SDL and the newer kernel. we use a fixed SDL library in retropie-setup now. you should not have any more black screen problems.
petrockblogKeymasterupdate the script and re-run retropie-setup install (from binaries – option 1)
petrockblogKeymasterthis thread is now closed – got way too long, with far too many interleaved questions. And new posters didn’t read previous posts or they would have seen the posts to open a new thread :)
petrockblogKeymasteropen a new thread.
petrockblogKeymastermost people should install from binaries imho – there is little reason to build from source as an end user – our binaries are now split, and updated often. but as I said, I will look at adding something to the retropie-setup to clean the directory or a module.
in the meantime, just rm -rf it
petrockblogKeymasteryes.
1. because you might want to change something / re-try a build etc – see ./retropie_packages.sh – you can run individual steps etc. I may introduce a module to clean this up though, or just clean it up after using the setup gui.
petrockblogKeymasterRegarding the power switch it is important that the button is a “toggle” switch and not a “momentary” button. I just do not know what the NES power button type is right now. You can turn on the RPi with the button, but not not turn off? Or does the RPi turn on without any button press?
Ah, re-reading your post above I see that you are using two power supplies. You must only use a single power supply connected to the ControlBlock!
If that does not solve the power button issue, what is the output of these service installation commands:
git clone git://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService.git cd ControlBlockService make sudo make install sudo make installserviceHow does your configuration file
/etc/controlblockconfig.cfglook like?
Could you maybe post one or two pictures of your controller connection setup?petrockblogKeymastermaybe you have the wrong files ? I know it works, as I was using it two days ago. I only copied neogeo.zip and some games to the roms folder.
petrockblogKeymasterYou are in luck. yesterday gizmo98 added two modules for gba games
vba-next and
gpspThey are in the experimental section – I believe vba-next is slower than gpsp. They will also only show up for rpi2 users.
petrockblogKeymasterI have added a ticket here – https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/658
petrockblogKeymasterthanks. will add/update the retropie script.
petrockblogKeymasterbios need to be in the same folder as the roms
petrockblogKeymasterBut also, you are looking in the wrong place. it’s not in the home directory but in /opt/retropie not /home/pi/opt/retropie
petrockblogKeymasteryou should start from a newer retroarch. sounds like you have the old 2.3 version.
petrockblogKeymasteryes. 6 shouldn’t really be used – it just updated the binaries and wouldn’t update any config changes needed for a new binary. hence option 6 has now been removed (if you update retropie-setup again)
petrockblogKeymasterI don’t have time to maintain such a thing at least – development / tickets and progress etc is managed over at github.
petrockblogKeymasterit would wipe everything if overwriting the image.
you can either backup your data and do that and restore, or optionally update the script and then choose to install the binaries from option 1.
you can also update individual emulators by installing from menu 5 as needed.
petrockblogKeymasterPlease open a new topic.
petrockblogKeymasterDid you try doing it from the option in the setup menu ? (making sure you have the latest version of the retropie-setup script)
petrockblogKeymasterthe keyboard config is set in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
petrockblogKeymasterThe best way of updating is to run option 1 from the menu.
There are posts regarding n64 earlier in this thread.
There are way too many issues on this thread now – please open new threads for new problems.
petrockblogKeymasterthanks floob. BTW – I’d love to see a video with the new uae4all emulator ;-) You do a really great job with the vids.
