How can i create a new topic? :/

Hi guys, I’ve only just joined the forum after I have been using Retroarch for a while now on my Nvidia Shield. Hope everyone is well? Just wondering if anyone can help with this weird bug that I’ve recently encountered.

I have my Nvidia controller set up so my left trigger button is for loading games and my right trigger button used for saving games. I’ve been using these buttons for a while but recently whenever I play a game the save button is constantly saving even though I haven’t pressed it. I even mapped the button to a different button and still does it. It’s as if I’m constantly pressing the save button even though I haven’t touched it. Have uninstalled and downloaded again and still the same issue. In the end I had to leave these options unmapped so I can play my games. Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

#157

Can someone please tell me how to start a post on this here forum?!? How do you start a thread here? Do I need to wait until my account has been verified? If so, the welcome email never mentions it.

I can however reply to topics already started.

Thanks.

I am having a problem with my controller. I am trying to play Atari 2600 on the Stella core. I am using a Stelladaptor (2600 to USB Adapter) with a real Atari 2600 joystick. In Retroarch it is showing device type as RetroPad. The problem is whenever I hit the fire button it resets the game instead of firing. In Retroarch by default it is setting Reset Auto: 0 and there seems to be no way to remove this default mapping and changing it so the only fire button on the joystick (no start or select buttons on these old school joysticks) maps to Fire. Does anyone know how I can do this please - posting here as unable to create a new topic to ask for help for some bizarre reason!

When you plug in your controller and it says “blahblah gamepad configured”, what’s the name it says?

#162

Do you mean in RetroArch? In Device Index it is showing as: Stelladaptor 2600-to-USB Interface Device Type is showing RetroPad

#163

Yes, in RetroArch. From the notification that pops up when you plug it in.

I can’t find the words “stelladapter” or “2600” in any of our autoconfig profiles: https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig

#166

While discontinued a lot of people bought them from atariage.com as they were also the only device at the time to support Atari 2600 Paddle controllers, although I am just trying to use it with a joystick. I have also used it with C64 joysticks and in C64, Plus 4 and other emulators in the past.

I noticed all the controller config files are inside RetroArch\autoconfig\udev

Would it be possible to create a manual cfg file to get this to work correctly, so the fire button does not associate to reset?

#167

Yes, it appears there are 6 profiles (2 of which are udev) that include “input_reset_btn”, which I think is a terrible idea and we should probably remove for exactly this reason. I suspect your pad shares a vid/pid with one of these devices and is being mis-detected and mis-configured.

You can definitely create your own autoconfig profile and it should use it instead of the erroneous one. And, if you like, you could submit your profile to the repo for future inclusion.

Maybe someone can help?

Hello, I can’t seem to post anything on the forums either, I just wanted to ask why Retroarch won’t ever save on the actual .dsv file when prompted to in-game… on Desmume core, already tried with 999 and Another code / Trace memory, it creates the save file on the saves folder but every single time I get an error.
