What do you get when you follow the commands given above (https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/retropie-not-recognizing-xarcade-dual-tank-stick/#post-10106)?

[petrockblog]

What does the command ls /dev/input show? If there are entries like js0, js1 etc. this indicates that the OS has registered joystick devices. If Xarcade2Jstick is properly running one of the jsX files represents player 1 and another one represents player 2 on the DualStick.

You can test these devices on OS level, e.g., with the command jstest /dev/input/js0. Adjust js0 to js1, js2 etc. accordingly.

[petrockblog]

It depends some variables like your overclock settings or your sd-card class.

I would say that 22 hours is still not bad as long as something is happening from time to time in the console.

[petrockblog]

You can find the most recent version of SNESDev at Github – the lines with the pin usage start here. Pin 24 is currently not used.

I hope that helps!?

[petrockblog]

Just to let you know: A major update to version 2.0 is on it’s way :-)

[petrockblog]

I only had the Tankstick for the development of Xarcade2Jstick. However, it should be possible to extend Xarcade2Jstick to also support the DualStick.

Could you post the output of the command sudo lsinput here?

If the command lsinput is unknown you can install this tool with sudo apt-get install -y input-utils.

What we are looking for is something similar to the output as shown below:

The Xarcade Tankstick is working with RetroPie seamlessly now!
If you are more interested in this have a look at https://www.petrockblock.com/2014/06/01/xarcade2jstick/.
Have fun!

FYI: RetroPie will support the X-Arcade Tankstick soon. I am working on this these days …

[petrockblog]

You can either use the function of the RetroPie-Setup Script for updating the binaries or you can use the source-based installation to compile FastDosbox on your own. The binaries-based update should be faster, though.

[petrockblog]

If you think that the script of Cacophony555 would be a valuable addition to the RetroPie-Setup Script it would be great if you could post a corresponding bash function with it or even a pull request at Github.

[petrockblog]

It compiled fine and it also started. I did not do more testing, so please feel free to give feedback!

You can install FastDosbox by updating your installation with the RetroPie-Setup Script.

[petrockblog]

I have merged your suggested bug fix for that issue today – thanks a lot for that!

I have not had time to test that, though.

[petrockblog]

I updates the binaries archive recently. Does a new binaries-based installation work for you? Take care that you have enough disk space available. The last binaries archive accidentally got way too large …

[petrockblog]

Please post this idea in the issues list of EmulationStation’s Github repository at https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues?state=open. Aloshi is always open-minded for enhancements!

[petrockblog]

I am having a look into this right now …

[petrockblog]

I am in close contact with Aloshi, the author of Emulation Station.

You can be sure that the new version will be added to the RetroPie Project as soon as it is released :-)

[petrockblog]

I am glad to hear that you made the controllers work :-)

Currently, you would have to swap the data lines on the connectors. Alternatively, you could change the configuration files, e.g., in /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.

[petrockblog]

Thanks to gizmo98, this issue could be solved (see also https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/311).

[petrockblog]

What about “xapplications.shinc”?

[petrockblog]

Here is the drawing converted into PNG format:

[petrockblog]

Maybe you need to change the owner and/or group of the folders via chgrp / chown commands?

[petrockblog]

Another thing – swap data 1 and data 2. Does this lead to swapped gamepads on the console as well?

[petrockblog]

Since only js0 and js1 exist in the input directory, I assume that only SNESDev is running and not interfering with, say, the gamecondriver (which can also be installed via the RetroPie-Setup Script – DON’T DO THAT!).

Also, one pad is working, which means that all connections except one data pin are properly connected and SNESDev is running correctly.

Now, I would try and check or even reconnect the data lines on the breadboard. Just a wild guess, though.

I keep my fingers crossed that you can solve the problem until sunday!

[petrockblog]

Yes, you can use the mv command to put the RetroPie installation wherever you want. Note, however, that there are also user specific files in the directory .emulationstation. These files were put into the home directory of the then active user. That said, you can move the RetroPie folder wherever you like as long as the location still is a subfolder of the same user.

Hope that helps!?

[quote=5711]For many of the emulators there are newer versions than those in version 1.91. When can I expect approximately with a new finished Image (Retropie version 2.0)?
I have tried many times with the Retropie setup script to update everything, but something still does work.
Frustrates me so

If you encounter any error during the execution of any function, it would be great if you could post the actions to reproduce that error. In this way, we could find and fix the bug more easily.

[petrockblog]

Maybe Aloshi, the author of ES, can give you a hint. You could reach him via his website (www.aloshi.com) or Github (https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues?state=open).

[petrockblog]

Yes, PPSSPP is part of the RetroPie Script. However, it does not compile and/or (can’t remember) successfully.

If the recipe from above works well, it would be great if someone could post a pull request to add it to the RetroPie-Setup Script.

[petrockblog]

The button is used by SNESDev to simulate virtual key presses, e.g., ESC, r(ewind), or even the shutdown command.

The JP1 header on the adapter PCB is “only” a break out of GND, 3.3V, 5V, and some GPIO pins for arbitrary use.

[petrockblog]

The pin numbering of the 2×13 header is not correct in the schematics. It has to be changed to the opposite direction.

[petrockblog]

I agree to the idea to have packages that contain individual components like single emulators, cores etc.

[petrockblog]

[quote=5444]Be careful not to just drag and drop this zip on to your install as this contains config files that will mess up your install..just a warning.

Thanks for that hint. I have removed the config files from that package and updated the download right now.

[petrockblog]

I also like the idea of this project. I am curious where this leads to …

[petrockblog]

These themes look great!

Due to the size of the theme package, I have added it to the downloads section of RetroPie. You can find it here.

Great work!

The installation and settings.xml are fixed now. There is no script error if retroarch.cfg, dgenrc or gngeorc exists. But there is another problem. ES-Configs doesn’t change settings. It replaces the existing config files. My current retroarch.cfg and dgenrc only contain joypad settings [/quote]
Hmm, it would be best if ES-config would replace existing key-value-pairs or add them when they do not exist. Unfortunately, I am not the author of ES-config. It is Aloshi (who is also developing EmulationStation). Maybe this could put on the issues list of ES-config and be solved there?
