OMG I hate Retropie. |
| javeryh:
After a LONG day of doing almost nothing but screwing around with RetroPie, I have all of the gamelists finalized and they appear to be working (almost). Some of the games are displaying graphical oddities and I don't know what is wrong - for example, Donkey Kong Junior and Popeye are playable but where the high score should be there are weird characters like you'd see during startup. I'm not sure what happened. So now I have to figure out how to change control configurations but it's not as simple as it sounds. I need to figure out how to change global settings (navigating retropie menus), system specific settings (defining global control set up for Arcade, Atari, etc.) and then ROM Specific settings (for tweaking each game for optimal controls). This has to be the worst part of building these things. |

Hi mate, love the intro! :) I'm not sure what's going on with the boot time before the screen comes up. My boot video comes up in 2-3 seconds from switch on. I think it was the "splash" setting I changed, but its a while ago now. I have a RPi 3b+ or something. Something seems wrong if it's taking that long. I think I followed this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/14299/tutorial-remove-boot-text-on-the-raspberry-pi-for-noobs |

I wonder if it is because mine is only 12 seconds? The recommendation was to make it 30-40 seconds but I don't know how to stretch mine out (yet). I'll look into it today. I'm annoyed at myself for trying to tweak an image that someone else had made instead of building mine from the ground up. I was just worried about getting the games to run properly since there are quite a few arcade emulators for RetroPie so you have to tell it which one to use when a game is selected. Seemed complicated. But trying to figure out what someone else did is probably way worse - for a few hours I had "mame2003", "neogeo" and "fba" showing up as games in my list - I could see them in the file tree via SSH but I was afraid to deleted them because I didn't want to screw anything else up.... but then I just deleted them anyway and it didn't seem to affect anything... but then like 30 minutes later the font in the theme started to look weird and I was getting strange graphical glitches in the Nintendo arcade roms... but I really don't think the two were related but maybe they are? I'm too far down the rabbit hole to start over from scratch though. |

I posted this in the Raspberry Pi forum but not sure how much attention it will get so I'll ask here: How do I map the same command to 2 different buttons? Changing the .cfg file to point 2 inputs to the same button doesn't work. The second command always gets ignored. For example: --- Quote ---input_player1_start = "num1" input_player1_start = "alt" --- End quote --- This will just just map P1 Start to the "1" key on the keyboard and not both the "1" key and the "Alt" key. There doesn't see to be any combination of commands (that I could think of) that accomplishes this as well: --- Quote ---input_player1_start = "num1" and "Alt" input_player1_start = "num1 , Alt" input_player1_start = "num1,Alt" --- End quote --- These ALL disable BOTH buttons because presumable Retroarch is confused. It's making me crazy. I have Admin buttons on the front panel of my cab (Exit, Select, Start and Pause) but some games like NES use the Start and Select buttons in game so I'd like to also map those to the control panel (where there are multiple extra unused buttons). Any ideas? |
