Another possibility;
It is possible to have a menu option, raspi-config or boot up script that gives the option to rotate the screen (edits config.txt by commenting out my rotation line) and reboots???

The tankstick works like a keyboard and mouse when not using the driver.
I wanted the trackball in mame4all because ADVMame does not work for the Pi B+.

[thex]

I have the tankstick working with 2.6 with the trackball.
After following the steps below, you will need to remap your keys in MAME with the MAME TAB menu.

1. Do not use the Xarcade2Jstick – it disables the trackball
2. Edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
I am not sure if this is in the same place with 3.0.
3. Modify the following lines;
input_player1_a = z
input_player1_b = shift
input_player1_y = ctrl
input_player1_x = alt
input_player1_start = num5
input_player1_select = c
input_player1_l = space
input_player1_r = x
input_player1_left = keypad4
input_player1_right = keypad6
input_player1_up = keypad8
input_player1_down = keypad2

4. Add the following lines;
input_player2_a = e
input_player2_b = w
input_player2_y = a
input_player2_x = s
input_player2_start = num6
input_player2_select = rightbracket
input_player2_l = q
input_player2_r = leftbracket
input_player2_left = d
input_player2_right = g
input_player2_up = r
input_player2_down = f

Still setting up a new build with 3.0 For Rasp B.

I love the new RetroPie menu! makes setting up much easier.

I have a suggestion – is it possible to include a wifi script/setup command in the new RetroPie menu?

[thex]

Nice find! this should be the default in RetroPie! I have been looking for better graphics.
Thanks so much for the write up!

My setup with the same controllers is exactly like yours with the following exception – the quotes around the numbers on the following two lines;
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “7”

I removed them to

input_enable_hotkey_btn = 6
input_exit_emulator_btn = 7

Maybe this helps….

[thex]

anyone able to change the resolution for Doom?

[thex]

I am not able to find the assets folder nor the “xml” portion in the theme file.

I am using ES 2.x.

[thex]

Thanks! I will try that out this weekend!

[thex]

I had this exact issue.
Try removing the quotes around the numbers for the hotkey and exit buttons, like below;

input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8
input_exit_emulator_btn = 6

[thex]

I don’t know. It did work for all of the emulators, except mame and it disabled the trackball. Doing it this way fixed everything for me.

Glad it is working for you!

[thex]

if you look at the document I gave you, i expalin what i changed in the cfg file to make player 1 + player 2 the new escape key.

[thex]

Mame was the only one I had to do. The mapping I gave you work with all of the other emulators that I am using.

[thex]

Remember, that you have to map the keys in mame using the TAB menu.

[thex]

Here you go.
I also included instructions on how I mapped the Player 1 + Player 2 buttons as an exit.

I made these notes for me so I can repeat them. That is why there is graphics!

[thex]

Okay – so the Xarcade2Jstick didn’t work for me either. So disabled it then edited /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.
I have all of the keys working in all of the emulators. When you run MAME, hit the tab key to access the game menu, and edit the keys there.

If you would like, I can attach the key mappings from the retroarch.cfg that I made.

[thex]

zipped file.

I had this same issue.
I “installed” mame4all.
I worked with a friend of mine who helped in creating a script to install mame4all.

once installed (new directory) I changed emulationstation to the new install. Sound works perfect!

I attached the script we used to install the necessary libraries (just in case) and mame4all.

[thex]

There is a “Xarcade2JStick” in the retropie_setup that you can enable.
This will map all of the keys.

Let me know if the trackball works after you enable this.
