Hmm..the d-pad does nothing when I enter the menu but A and B buttons do as they're supposed to. I'm using a pro micro for controls(usb). Any idea how to fix this?

I think I'll need to check your es_input.cfg, could you please post it here?

[Kyran]

I will do that when I go to lunch, do you happen to know what directory that might be in?

[YaYa]

If i remember correctly it is located under

Code: Select all

~/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg

Otherwise you can install mlocate and make a global search

Code: Select all

Sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mlocate
Sudo updatedb
Locate es_input.cfg

Translation :
You update apps listing
You install mlocate
You fill the database with all the files from the drive
You search for it

Everytime you will need a file, then you just updatedb and locate (updatedb if the file system has changed a lot, otherwise you don’t need to update)

Thank you!! Don't know how I missed that one!!

Can I ask you to post some pics without the battery inside? Want more visuals on the contact, how that was done etc. thank you again

Question: I ran the optimizations (manually) on a Pi 3 B+ and on a Pi Zero W (with stock retropie) and have noticed that before running the optimizations, they boot up fine, but after running the lines of code, I have the same issues on all my devices (minus the Circuit Sword). After running the optimizations, once the boot up animation starts, it will run for about 2-4 seconds, then the boot up animation will just quit and the screen will stay black for another 5-10 seconds until emulations station starts up. Any idea what's going on or how to back out of this?

UPDATE:
for whatever reason, this fixed it:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
disable_overscan=1

i notice someone on facebook had the same problem but not sure if we are using the same controls

[YaYa]

Better with a code formatting lol

[Kyran]

Haha yeah I couldn't figure out how to do that

hmmm, it wasn't what i thought i'll have to give a better look at the code and maybe ask you to run some tests (sorry to use you as guinea pig, but i don't have that hardware and the ones i tested it out worked flawlesly )
