And to top it off, the coolcv emulator wants to try and use the left analog stick for control, and I can't figure out how to override it.
#Coleco roms in what retropie folder ps3#
So I tried reproducing this mapping to RetroPie/CoolCV, and I've gotten as far as being able to map all the buttons on the PS3 controller (I even got two controllers to work), but I can't for the life of me figure out how to map the analog sticks in the coolcv_mapping.txt file. The reason I like using the analog sticks for the numbers is that they suck for control in the Coleco emulator anyway, so they are essentially unused, and there happens to be 10 positions to correspond to the keypad - so all the numbers are easily available. The rest is the obvious stuff - DPad buttons for control, and standard PS3 buttons for the action buttons The mapping I came up with is the following: I came up with a mapping for Coleco that I like for my PS3 controller using OpenEmu on my Mac. The obvious challenge with Coleco controllers is the number pad. Mapping Controllers (3 of 3): Setting up Controllers in RetroArchĪuto detecting controllers in EmulationStation 2.I got a Raspberry Pi recently and have been enjoying setting it up with RetroPi, and I'm particularly interested in getting the Coleco emulator fully working. Mapping Controllers (2 of 3): Mapping Controllers to a File Mapping Controllers (1 of 3): For EmulationStation That’s it! Now you can enjoy all your GBA games on your RaspberyPi. The input file for the controller and keyboard are located at: /opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/keys.txt All the options though are in the GPSP Menu system so it will just be one added step. One thing to note is all the hotkeys that you may have set up will not work.

You will have to use a mix of the controller and keyboard to get all the buttons set up but once you do you can unplug the keyboard. Load the emulator menu with F10 and go to the option to configure a controller. By default only a keyboard is set up so you will need to plug one in if you don’t already have one. This emulator does not use the RetroArch configuration file. Load a GBA game and the game should play! If you are using a controller you might find out that it isn’t working.

(Check here to install TightVNCServer, and here to set it to load at boot up if you’re interested.) The first line is to kill a VNC session that I have at bootup. Now that a game rom is in the gba directory and a copy of the gba_bios.bin bios file is in the correct location I went into EmulationStation with ~ $ ~ $ vncserver -kill ~ $ emulationstation ~ $ cd ~ $ sudo cp gba_bios.bin /opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi If you have the file elsewhere just cd into that directory and then the second line will be the same. If you followed my last post then type in the following to copy the file over. Once the RaspberryPi is rebooted the GBA bios file has to be moved to the correct directory which is: /opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi home/pi/RetroPie/BIOSįor information about loading roms or the BIOS file check this post. From a previous post I put “ gba_bios.bin” in the following directory.

GameBoy Advance also needs a bios file in order for the games to work. ~ $ sudo rebootįor the GameBoy Advance tab to load in EmulationStation, make sure you have at least one game rom loaded in the GBA directory located at /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gba Once that was done I rebooted the system. Hang on! Sometimes this take a while but it is necessary to get things to work and keep everything up to date.

Next, I selected Option 5: UPDATE RetroPie Binaries. To do that type the following in the terminal: ~ $ cd RetroPie-Setup ~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo.

The first thing you’d want to do is perform a RetroPie Binary Update. If you didn’t see my post about setting up RetroPie then click here to check that out!įrom that post I say that often times when RetroPie is installed it doesn’t seem to load everything it needs for the GPSP emulator. These are the following steps that I did to get it to work for me. Often times people seem to have issues getting the GameBoy Adavnce emulator GPSP to work on RetroPie.
