dudleydes you are SOOOOOOO the man (or the woman! if you are a lady!) …it works…it works it works…

I did a re install from the binary and it seems to have picked up the controller.

Thank you so much mate, right, now i need to get on with other life stuff ! ;0)

Cheers again and a Merry Christmas !

Mate did you ever solve thisd? as having the exact same proble.

Solutions offered include:

Put them in lr-imame4all which uses the Retroarch configs HOWEVER there isn’t a map/hotkey via my PS3 set up for insert coin/start game (by default 5 and 1 on keyboard!)

SO then someone suggested setting upa hotkey.. BUT i am struggling to locate my PS3 USB mapping file. I saw Floobs video on it, well spoken and described BUT it was running on an old version and my set up / file positions seem totally different.

Sorry to not offer you a solution but anything I find or if you have a solution we sould share.

Cheers DankCushions

But when I run the config file there isn’t a ” edit hotkeys” option – I am running RetroPi 3+

I is proper frustrating as the thing is running PERFECT other than this.

I had a previous img and set the insert coin/start game to the L1 & L2 buttons. However I re-imaged (larger SD card) and now MAME will not recognise the pS3 controller at all !!

Pain in the a***

This is interesting as when I progress son Tony Hawkes etc and re load (few days later etc) there is never any continue / load saves available. As if it hasn’t saved the file.

Although on Hawkes I physically did save, ie set up a filename , clicked “x” and it said “saving” etc.

[slighty]

That is great I wasn’t aware of this… thank you.

I managed to swap emulators thanks to your advice (thanks) and the Playstation controlled detected logo came up

But suddenly the keyboard didn’t work and the “insert coin” was still assigned to key 5 on the keyboard so I wasn’t able to add credit (key 5) or access a game (key 1) – how might i associate these to PSx buttons?

Cheers again

Yes mate I did…hey Its working a dream now, I removed ALL partitions using DiskPart on Windows, write img, started over and we are in..HOWEVER I fancy upgrading to the latest version of RetroPie now, can I do this (easily) via the EmulationStation system or do i have to do the whole img thing again do you know?

Cheers for the reply.

[slighty]

Tmar do please post mate.

To my ‘shame’ I am still using a keyboard to play as ANOTHER of my issues is getting my PS3 controller to Synch.. I followed Floobs video and it paired etc but doesn’t respond..

[slighty]

I read on the GitHub site that VICE can need a reboot to exit.. should be able to exit the others mind. Have you managed to? Cheers for the reply mate as lack of help on this from elsewhere

Ratix AND Floobs

You wont believe it …all is running.

I have (Some) Amiga playing ..

I have Silent Hill and Crash team racing on PSX (img and BIN files …as per your video …my MDF do not seem to work!)

Suddenly the c64 works as (like ratix says) I gave it time AND used *.g64 over the *.crt files as these didn’t load either!! Way of Exploding fist..Summer Games and High Noon all load …BUT I cant get them to respond via keyboard, I guess i need to config a controller?

No problem with that.

Thank you all again…very pleased !!

Working !!!!

Wey hey… I was just about to give up.

Sensible Soccer and Space Harrier works (or the front screen appear at least) but I can fiddle….

As I say any advice on the whole C64 issue now ;0) .. c64 blue screen finds game..says loading and “sits there”. I have tried different games but any advice is welcomed.

Also a …ahem erm… hint to where i might find working PSX roms,

Cheers again man

[slighty]

I figured 1kb was too small..almost an empty folder. I renamed the others (lowercase) still no success. Same outcome, screen flash, stays black

Is it too bold to ask you send me your .rom files? maybe as a zip, yours clearly work, I can drop them in the BIOS and see what happens.

Just frustrating man as the Amiga and C64 was the big appeal for me on this project, yet i can get neither working.

[slighty]

Thanks for your help again so quickly.

I know it is cryptic eh? The ROM files seem to be in the BIOS – did you manage to open the Printscreen I sent?

The icon is red when i look at it within WinSCP and it is 1kb …when i do the ls home/pi/../BIOS etc the filenames appear as red. Strange

I am using the standard scraper – as on the RetroPi, that is a problem I can solve later.

I wonder do you have any ideas/videos on the getting the C64 VICE emulator working too.

Cheers again for the help, I imagine you are busy !!

[slighty]

Floob it’s you !!! Love your videos man.. I am a teacher and they are well understood, no “ers….” “coughing…” “bad language” or “…oh that’s strange why isn’t that working/I made a mistake” stuff that some of my vid tutorials have had ;0)

Thanks for the reply and the feedback.

I think you were onto something with the Amiga – I have *.Adf files (Speedball, Sensible soccer etc) and I was using a A500 set up, …I am STILL getting the white/black screen and ‘crash’ however through your video i noticed something. When you showed the kickfiles in …/uae4all/kickstarts/ and they had the blue path denoting they should also be in BIOS mine do not ONLY the red (see attached)

Any further advice is well recieved.

Also with the Playstation all seems OK, same my end as yours, my only difference is i am using mdf (error message) and img roms (do not show/list in EmulationStation…) I need to try some *.bin *.Arm ones as you have .. i know you cant tell me where you get yours but a hint?

A couple of other questions (easy i hope) if i may

A) I want to add more storage to the RetroPi would I simple by a 32/64 gb SD and copy all over (through Windows) ..or would i need to reinstall all on the new SD card?
B) With the scrape if artwork etc doesn’t appear as part of the archive …I am thinking Mr Do, can you manually upload some and add ?

Thank you again for your help
