If you can’t get pisnes working based off my writeup on the other thread, then overclocking might just be an easier solution. I actually have since gone back to the original RetroArch snes emulator after overclocking, and it run fantastically.

[quote=12685]I dont know why but pressing 0 button, i.e. triangle on ps2 controller, emulators quit.

Have you tried to set this one to “nul” and see if it still happens?

input_exit_emulator_btn = “9″

[quote=12664]Thanks for posting this guide. It helped a lot. Unfortunately I am having trouble getting pisnes to work. I followed you directions for changing the emulator to pisnes in the es_systems.cfg file, but now when I try to run a game, I get an error something like this;

sh: 1: opt/retropie/emulators/pisnes/snes9x permission denied!

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Also, another problem I am having is that I previously ran the scraper, then ended up moving some roms and now the pictures don’t show up. If I try to re-run the scraper, it thinks that the info is already there so it skips those games. If I force it to re-scrape the entire folder, it stops on the first game and goes back to terminal. If I try to re-enter emulationstation from terminal I get an error message saying I have no systems and I have to reboot.

As mentioned above, set the file to 777 will fix this.

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/retropie/emulators/pisnes

If you download pisnes from source, this step is in the install script, so I accidently left out this requirement.

i try it but still only the d pad works !+
This are my analog settings
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = “nul”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “nul”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1″
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1″
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “nul”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “nul”

what is the solution ?

I don’t know exactly other than going through the joystick_config script again, but it doesn’t look like anything has been setup for the X axis.

On my x-box controller, axis 1 is up and down, 0 is left and right.

Unfortunately I don’t have a PS controller to test.

The file is located at:

~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

or

/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Check out my other post on this forum for step-by-step setup directions for version 2.2.

[zsprawl]

Move to version 2.2 and run:

sudo chown pi -R /opt/retropie/configs/

[zsprawl]

1) Nothing on your controller works at all? Not sure whatsup… does it work in other games? You may want to overclock your Pi and keep the original RetroArch SNES emulator.

[zsprawl]

If you want to use the analog stick in-game, you’ll have to configure the D pad and left stick as opposites. So when it asks for up/down/left/right, use the analog stick.

[zsprawl]

Try other values for -j. Like 0 or 2.

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

or

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 2 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

[quote=12478]Hi Guys i use my Ps2 Controller with my adapter (Twin USb ) all working only the analog sticks not working . How i can fix it ?
Thanks[/quote]

Did you use the following to set it up?

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

You also may want to try pressing F1 during a game, and configuring the joystick there.

[zsprawl]

I believe you set the path to your ROMs in the es_system.cfg file.

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

Look for the line that declares the system_directory. Mine looks like this:

system_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/../BIOS

Also you may want to change your es_system.cfg back to RetroArch and see how that works.

Also, try starting up any game at all, even the built in ones, and hit F1. Try to configure the path to your ROMs there.

Somewhere you have a path setting messed up, just not sure where. Worst case, start over.

[zsprawl]

Unfortunately the X-Box controller will never stop flashing. That is normal behavior in my experience.

As far as the retroarch-joystick command, try different “-j” values. For me, the controller was “-j 1” but for you it might be “-j 0” or “-j 2”.

[zsprawl]

1) yep

For the emulator menu, press F1 while in-game (or set a keymap button).

[zsprawl]

When I type “free -h”, I see ~120 total memory, which makes sense because I have 384 dedicated to the GPU. I suspect the 256 you are seeing is half of the 512.

[zsprawl]

I added the following to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg, and now when I hold SELECT (button 8) and press up or down, it adjusts the volume in game for me.

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_volume_up_axis = "-1"
input_volume_down_axis = "+1"

[zsprawl]

Press F1 when in-game. :)

[zsprawl]

By the way, to save your configs in-game, I was able to do so after running:

sudo chown -R pi /opt/retropie/configs

After you do the above, once in game, press F1 to access the setup menu.

[zsprawl]

I noticed you mentioned you are powering the Pi off a USB hub? If so, that is generally not recommended and can cause all kinds of odd issues.

[zsprawl]

I have had zero luck playing N64 games. The ones that load are slow, choppy, and otherwise not worth it.

[zsprawl]

I’m not certain, unfortunately. It seems that GUI option was removed. However, once it is setup, you shouldn’t need to mess with it again.

[zsprawl]

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
