Hello!

I have the retro 8 controller adapter to NES ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/NES-to-PC-USB-Retro-Adapter-NES-Cable-Retro-Bit-New-/300687350879 )

But it wont work, dont recognize the controller. Do i do something in the input ? Have the latest Lakka on the PC i use.

Hope someone know :slight_smile:

Hi,

You need to do manual binding.

Settings Tab > Input > Input User 1 Binds > User 1 Bind All

then User 1 Save Autoconfig to save it.

About the yellow message.

Is it possible you can connect to Lakka by ssh or direct access and get the output of (when you plugged your adapter and controller) :

lsusb

and

dmesg

Thank you.

We need to get the information I asked you so that we can help you.

If your device is running Lakka is connected by ethernet you can connect by ssh otherwise you need to connect by direct access. After that, you can type the command.

I suppose we will have to add this driver to make it work, but we need the information to confirm it.

#7

Ok, thanks, I will check this out after work :slight_smile: And sorry that i am a noob in this lakka world :smiley:

#8

Hmm, can i just get the https://github.com/retuxx/hid-retrobit files on a SD and lakka will requnize the files ? Or not so simple ? Or have do i add the files ?

#9

First we need the information to confirm if the driver can fix your issue.

No we need to integrate it to Lakka (copy files is not enough).

#10
