I have been fighting this for days, nothing i have found tells me how to resolve it. i can move and control retropie in the game menu, reconfigure my buttons to be sure it reads them, it does, and yet i go into the game and have to use a keybaord to get the game to play/exit. i did a fresh install, redid all of the controls and had the same result.

i normally install it manually.

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame

cd Adafruit-Retrogame

make

sudo make install

then you need to create a file to make retrogame in the actual games

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-retrogame.rules

then inside nano you need to paste

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="retrogame", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"

press ctrl + o to save, then ctrl + x to close

you will then need to make it run at startup, so add it into /etc/rc.local

plus putting a copy of the retrogame.cfg file in the /boot.

I have attempted the following guides to resolve it to no prevail. what piece of data am i missing to make the games work with this?

I had a major head scratching moment with the same thing. Try manually typing the code within the /etc/udev/rules.d/10-retrogame.rules file, i had issues with copy and paste actually putting the wrong characters in. It was the double quotes that got me, they looked like double quotes, but when i typed a new one next to it, it looked different.

that was the issue, i had manually typed it in the first time and it seemed correct.

I had to copy the text into a plain text document, remove .txt, then drop it in BIOS on the retropie, then i used the file manager to move it the correct file and delete the old version. Probably the hard way but it worked.
