So far everything has been working, I tested several games on the following emulators. All buttons and the trackball are working. the only button that does not work (can't map it) is the mouse 3 button X-Arcade has added as a mouse 3 button.

Emulators tested:

Mame
NES
SNES
Atari 2600
Atari ST
Daphne
Doom
All the preloaded Ports games
Sega CD

Tried the trackball with:

Missle Command
Centipede
Golden Tee

I haven't found anything that is not working yet, unless I switch to mode 3 on the tankstick.

Please let me know if I can help out further.

@gdenton,

I know from what others say, mode 4 is not supposed to work, but it works the best for me. it shows up as two xbox controllers exactly what you are seeing and the button mapping follows the xbox controller mapping seen here:

As far as the trackball, I found this on the XArcade support site, try unplugging the trackball usb and plug it in while it's up and running

PI 4: We've heard some bugs reported with various game controllers and PI 4. With X-Arcade or any game controller, unplug the game controller, or USB for X-Arcade after the PI is running, then plug back in and trackball/X-Arcade will work. This bug impacts a number of USB devices with PI 4. We have no other solutions for it until they fix.

@saween,

I hope this helps, here is what my set up looks like:

in /recalbox/share/roms/daphne

[ls -l]

lair2.daphne

in /recalbox/share/roms/daphne/lair2.daphne

[ls -l]

I have all my .dat, .ogg, .m2v files and:
lair2.commands
lair2.txt
lair2.m2v
lair2.ogg
lair2.dat

all the other files start with dl2-XXXX.dat, dl2-XXXX.m2v, dl2-XXXX.ogg
where XXXX is some number

In /recalbox/share/roms/daphne/roms
[ls -l]

lair2.zip

Notice every lair2 file (lair.zip, lair2.commands, lair2.txt, lair2.daphne) are all exactly the same (all lowercase)

@ian57,

I can initiate the support script from my recalbox, I get the following error message:

Close alertconnect ECONNREFUSED 144.76.136.153:443

Just as a heads up, after trying the "xarcade2jstick-rpi3" update everything on my tankstick is working as before. I tried multiple games (1 -player, dual player, track ball) I tried multiple emulators (mame, NES, SNES, Sega, Daphne)

Everything is working fine for me and like it did before the patch.

Hola Jarlaxe,

Así es como lo hice y dejaré otro comentario.

Mientras estaba en 6.1.1 tenía todo en la tarjeta SD (Recallbox, ROM, BIOS ...)

Usé una memoria USB, con formato extfat. Lo metí en mi PI 3b + y fui a configuración -> almacenamiento -> cambiado a USB

Después de reiniciar, todas las carpetas estaban en la memoria USB. (ROM, BIOS, etc., etc.)

Luego moví manualmente todo el contenido de mi tarjeta SD al USB (usando mi computadora portátil), esto se hace desde el montaje de su carpeta compartida (como si estuviera colocando ROM) pero copiando todo en la memoria USB.

Tome el dispositivo y vuelva a colocarlo en el pastel y encienda, confirme que está configurado para almacenamiento -> USB.

Ahora, usé una nueva tarjeta SD y la flasheé con RB7.0.

Arrancado, todo desapareció, ingresó a configuración -> almacenamiento -> USB y reinició.

Todo está ahí y funcionó como antes.

Funcionó muy bien para mí, espero que para ti también.

Buena suerte.

@Cap

see below.

Let me know if that helps, or you need any others.

Are there any options to display a splash screen showing the controls for the current game like cpwizard for Recalbox?

@ian57,

Just gave it a try and the trackball is working fine for me in mode 4.

Everything is working well.
