To configure controls connect a keyboard and press tab to access the GUI.

There have been attempts to run later versions on the Pi but no success as of yet :-( This thread may be of interest you: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=23272

A believe a firmware update is required to solve the usb/ethernet issues: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md

[trimmtrabb]

The ports are based on older emulators for performance, unfortunately the trade off is compatibility :-(

If -j 0 doesn’t work try -j 1

[trimmtrabb]

Hi, in terminal run this:

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Try the 8GB card to rule out the micro sd card being the issue.

[trimmtrabb]

Looks like SD card corruption, re-image and try again or try another SD card. The other option is a USB install.

[trimmtrabb]

Copy es_systems.cfg from /etc/emulationstation/ to /home/pi/.emulationstation/ and edit in there. To create two SNES pages in Emulation Station copy the SNES section in es_systems and rename one using <fullname>, then edit the commands to point to the seperate emulators.

Here’s my default.cfg, it’s setup for two pads. Place it in /opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi/cfg/

Left shoulder is insert coin

[trimmtrabb]

In the latest RetroPie 2.x you don’t need to install xboxdrv manually, they should be recognised automatically and you can check this with the above mentioned command. Then configure them in the mame4all GUI

[trimmtrabb]

Check that gpu_mem=256 is set in /boot/config.txt

[trimmtrabb]

With both pads connected in terminal type ls /dev/input/

How many joysticks are loaded? (js)

[trimmtrabb]

I’ve been trying to reproduce the errors loading roms, when roms are placed in the home/RetroPie/roms/mame/ they won’t load. But if you place the roms in the mame4all-pi/roms/ directory and edit es_systems.cfg accordingly they load fine. I would say the actual roms could be the problem, can you try one from another source?

[trimmtrabb]

Connect a keyboard and press tab in the emulator to bring up the GUI, you can configure controls in there

[trimmtrabb]

I use video_smooth = true to soften the pixelation

[trimmtrabb]

I remember reading about a similar issue a while back with the Retrobit adapters, this thread may help you: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=36564&p=487878&hilit=retrobit#p487878

[trimmtrabb]

Yes good point! Try this:

sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/emulators/

[trimmtrabb]

I don’t know what to suggest apart from double checking the path in es_systems.

[trimmtrabb]

Try copying es_systems.cfg to /home/pi/.emulationstation/ and edit rom location in there to /opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi/roms

[trimmtrabb]

[trimmtrabb]

First guess is inadequate power supply, what is the current output rating of your supply? If it’s anything less than 1A (for powering the ‘old’ model B) you’re going to have problems.

[trimmtrabb]

Glad you sorted it :-)

[trimmtrabb]

MAME/FBA aren’t configured through Retroarch. Press tab in game to configure. MAME roms need to be from 0.37b5 romset.

[trimmtrabb]

Try removing system_directory = “default” so there is only system_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

[trimmtrabb]

es_systems.cfg is now located in /etc/emulationstation/ Copy over to /home/pi/.emulationstation/ to edit.

[trimmtrabb]

Please post the contents of your retroarch.cfg located in opt/retropie/configs/all/

[trimmtrabb]

If you press tab you can configure your pad. Also regarding roms check compatibilty here: https://code.google.com/p/pifba/source/browse/FBAcapex_src/gamelist.txt?

[trimmtrabb]

If you’re using one type of pad at a time for a specific emulator the suggestion above will work, with one pad plugged in it will always be assigned js0

[quote=17941]Forgive me for being a noob but am i editing the .cue file in notepad on my mac or in terminal with rasp pi connected to keyboard? I am racking my brain trying to find this retroarch.cfg file? i can’t get sega cd or psx games to work. Let me rephrase, I can’t do anything that has a bios and I am placing in rom folders with game? when i run cyberduck i can see different folders. under /home/pi/Retropie-Setup/supplementary/RetroArchConfigs i see a bunch of .cfg files but they are for controllers? where is the famous retroarch.cfg file? i am running the newest version of emulation station. am i missing something here? i thought i was pretty tech inclined until i started getting into this. i have spent all day trying to get mame,psx,gba,sega cd,fba to work. any help would be greatly appreciated, and yes i have googled everything under the sun and youtube, which has helped a little. thanks[/quote]

See this topic:

Please help! Sega CD Bios Problems

You can edit retroarch.cfg in terminal or SSH in (logged in as user pi)

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

[trimmtrabb]

If you place a retroarch.cfg in the relevant folders under /opt/retropie/configs/ it will override the default retroarch.cfg in /configs/all/

For example edit a retroarch.cfg for a SNES/NES pad and place it in /configs/nes/

Can anyone say if the RetroPie Project SD-card Image would work on this faster PI?
[/quote]

It’s not a ‘faster Pi’ it’s a clone (granted increased specs) product from a completely unrelated company to the Raspberry Pi foundation who are riding on the success of the Raspberry Pi. It will never recieve the kind of community support the Pi has.

[trimmtrabb]

New location of retroarch.cfg is /opt/retropie/configs/all/

Press f4 in Emulation Station to exit to terminal

[trimmtrabb]

You need to set the bios location in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Add this: system_directory =

Then the bios needs to be named correctly: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-get-sega-cd-and-turbo-cd-games-working/

[trimmtrabb]

Try setting the resolution manually in config.txt: http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video
