so i just redeployed Recalbox from 4.0.0 to a fresh load of 18.07.13 , copied back my roms . when i had 4.0.0 i was using the GameSir BT adaptor plugged into the Pi USB ports and not the built in Pi BT. so i did the same config/setup on 18.07.13 , then i saw that Recalbox 18.07.13 had the ability to pair BT devices. so i paired my GameSir adapter fine, i went through the Emulationstation controller setup for it, all the while i had another USB gamepad (no BT) plugged into the Pi so that i could navigate the EmulationStation menu... Once i got the GameSir BT paired via emulation station i shutdown the sytem, then powered it back on with ONLY the GameSir BT connected (which is how i used to do it with 4.0.0 except back then i was using the GameSir BT adapter instead) ... i can navigate the EmulationStation menu and fire off a game, say nes or snes and then nothing works In-Game :(... what cfg files should i post for anyone to help me figure this out ?

i also made sure in controller settings in emulationstation i set INPUT P1 to #0 GameSir and still no go

Re: custom overlay for megadrive

i tried following this post steps, but still doesn't work for me. i made the change in my gen.cfg for overlay_directory and set it to "~/.config/retroarch/overlay/megadrive" but that dir doesn't exist. the post didn't say anything about placing a file in it or creating it.

any ideas what i might be doing wrong here? thanks

well did some more experimenting. i hooked 1 up BT the other up using USB cable direct. both worked fine. i then took the direct one and unplugged it then plugged in the 2nd USB BT dongle/adapter and turned it on, then it picked it up BOTH of them! :)

so i think if i boot up recalbox with BOTH my adapters BT USB dongle/adapters plugged in only 1 controller will work, but if i boot up recalbox with only 1 BT USB dongle/adapter connected, make sure the controller for that adapter is connected. then plug in the 2nd BT USB dongle/adapter then 2nd controller then picks up fine.

i saw a separate post that recalbox 4.1 when it comes out will use the built in BT on the Pi 3 ??? would it then pick up both of these controllers without me needed to fanagle it like i am now and on top of that have to use BT USB dongle/adapters ? thanks

i have had this controller working for a while no issues.

i bought a second controller, plugged in the usb dongle for the 2nd controller into a USB port on my Pi, and it the controller won't connect, because the light on the controller just blinks.

i tested them both , plugged in the same time on windows 10 both using their own usb dongle and they both show up fine.

i can plug in each controller to my Pi with recalbox individually and they work fine. but when i connect both usb dongles on 2 of the usb ports on the Pi i am not sure if recalbox or the linux OS is picking both of them up?

is there something else i need to do to get both of them to work with recalbox so that both the USB dongles are working? again i know they can both work at the same time on windows, and it's just bluetooth so i fig there is some extra step i need to take. thanks

i was messing around with the tab/menu for mame, some how i put my R button on my controller as well as Tab that both were opening the tab/menu for mame. i pressed enter on the key for tab in the mame menu and hit escape twice to clear it like i have done with other mappings.

now i have locked myself out of the mame menu :( as tab wont' even bring it up? is there a cfg file somewhere for mame that i can ssh in and fix to get this working again?

just used it , works great. but, i only picked up 9 out of 206 N64 games? my .z64 files all have the name of the game no other special characters or extra text like (USA) or (U) [!] in the name of the roms. just wondering what might be causing them to not get picked up?

example of one of the roms in the _nintendo 64_missing.txt file

i used the universal scraper tool on windows to get all my images for nes, snes, n64, mame, genesis . they all worked fine except for snes. i copied over the "downloaded_images" dir to the /roms/snes dir on recalbox share. i checked my paths in my gameslist.xml and they are all similar to act raiser ./downloaded_images , so not sure why it is not working

<image>./downloaded_images/ActRaiser (USA)-image.png</image>

\recalbox\share\roms\snes\downloaded_images\ActRaiser (USA)-image.png , exists.

here is my gamelist.xml

any ideas why this is happening?

ok i got the universal it worked. thanks

ok i am trying but the scrap is only on game 11 after like 2 hours or so.. it is moving like a snail :). it is not my internet either. and i have a cat5 cable plugged into the pi Ethernet port from my router. it was going really slow and now i don't know but it might be stuck/hung on "working" status that is showing on the screen.

right sorry typo i meant hidden. the only thing showing up hidden is the bios files i set to hidden. umk3 is not set to hidden. i even tried putting in <hidden>false</hidden> in the meta section for umk3 for both umk3 zip files , but that didn't help. and yes i shutdown emulation service before editing. i just don't understand how it is hidden and not displaying in the gui, if there is not a hidden tag for umk3?

here is my gamelist.xml file from mame dir.
