newoski Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Hi Guys, I'm having trouble with Sega 32X via the PicoDrive core. Although I have my inputs mapped correctly and "6 buttons" defined in the core options, only 3 buttons are working. 6 buttons do not work. Can anyone confirm this is a core problem?
newoski Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 Why are you using picodrive for the 32X? What would you recommend? To my knowledge, the PicoDrive core is the only RetroArch core that supports 32x. I use Genesis core for the rest
newoski Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 Because that is the core that is used with the 32X Jeremy, mind testing this really quick? Try Mortal Kombat
pofo14 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 When you load up the game and hit F1 for menu, does it show that your controller is setup as the 6 button. I would double check to make sure the core options for the controller is getting loaded correctly.

pofo14 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Yes I am pretty sure this worked for me. I can try to test this out if that helps you.

gigapig Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I tested it and checked the buttons were mapped and it seems they are although they don't work in game. Tested with Fusion and they work, but you have to change to the 6 button controller in game (Mortal Combat II) under options, extra controls. Hang on. Yeah do what Pofo said, Quick menu, Core Options, Input Device 1. Change it to 6 button. On an unrelated note, I had to RMA my 770 Lightening back to MSI and put in a spare old 8800GT. Damn that thing struggled with RetroArch and 32x. Fan was spinning up and game ran at half speed. Maybe the shaders?

It doesn't seem to work. Hoping you and a few others can test and report back when you're in front of your machines ( :

Relic fixed a few of his problems today switching to my config

newoski Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 Did you set it in game? Or is the problem every game not just MKII? Seems to be every game. I believe the core is broken. That's what I'm trying to confirm. I've tested Mortal Kombat and WWF
pofo14 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I actually have the same issue. The buttons 4-6 don't work.
gigapig Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Check your "retroarch-core-options.cfg" should be in the root or the config folder. You should have an entry in there for pico drive and once changed it should stick. picodrive_input1 = "6 button pad" picodrive_input2 = "3 button pad" picodrive_sprlim = "disabled" picodrive_ramcart = "disabled" picodrive_region = "Auto"

I've tried that way and I've tried with both set to 6 button. No different. The top 3 buttons do not work at all. Have you tested in Mortal Kombat? (: To be clear, the mapping "sticks" in the core options file and in the emu. It just doesn't do anything.

Yes of course I've tried it in game, Mortal Combat II (I don't have MK I) and a WWF game. All 4 face buttons do something and L1 & L2, where previously they did not. Where is your core options config, does it change when you edit in game? And have you done an online update of the core ?

Hey Giga, 1. Test on the keyboard as well. The xinput isn't a great test. 2. With xinput, does each button do something unique? I can get a few extra buttons working on the xbox 360 controller with 6 button turned on, but they just repeat the block move onto the shoulders, which doesn't really help 3. I am on 1.2r2 and using the latest core (updated today) 4. Here are relevant my retroarch-core-options: picodrive_input1 = "6 button pad" picodrive_input2 = "3 button pad" picodrive_sprlim = "disabled" picodrive_ramcart = "disabled" picodrive_region = "Auto"
gigapig Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I have to sign off for the night, I hope someone else can test this. Goodnight.

Totally different test but have you tested Genesis with the pico core with 6 button controller? I don't use pico core for Genesis anymore, but I think I got confused initially because I think I had it working in pico for Genesis. I was using SF II Championship edition to test. Not sure that helps u here but I would be curious to see if that works. I am not by my PC to test but I can try that Sunday.

Sadly, that core isn't compatible with 32X
newoski Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Hi Guys, If you have a sec, please post here confirming that you're having the same issue so the core developer will fix it https://github.com/libretro/picodrive/issues/14 Thanks!
