If you have never come across it you wouldn't really know It crossed my mind it might be an issue with the wireless KB BUT I've never heard of the problem personally. have a k400 which I let my mother use for her HTPC. I do also have another Logitech keyboard for my rig, which should pair directly with the STV. It was before they used the "unified dongle"...might be worth seeing what happens using that.

thatman84 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I grabbed a USB be one from work recently. hate using a keyboard on the Shield, doubt I will use it unless Amiga ever gets out of limbo or the RA devs need something testing. may have it plugged in permanently when I have a Gaming desk, if I ever finish this stupid diy stuff off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cheap Ikea tables are dead easy to cut open and drop a panel in there. That way the wife can have the TV and you have a dedicated screen and private listening through the STV gamepad...no need to put the arcade sticks in as most people have done. You can "tinker" and still spend quality time together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike and everyone else for your help. I also have a Logitech K400 so I'm guessing that's my issue. I'll invest in a keyboard that works then!

I'll invest in a keyboard that works then! No worries. Question is what to buy! I tried my Logitech MX5000 which connects to the STV directly via Bluetooth (no unified dongle). As soon as I press a key, RA flashes up a gamepad is detected. So it's not just the K400 from Logitech with the issue. Apparently the issue is to do with Keyboards reporting to Android they are both a gamepad and KB when they have "Special buttons". What Sanchez is using looks like the Rii brand of mini wireless keyboards. I've had them bundled with RPI kits, they're "OK" but it wouldn't be my preference. Being an old skool gamer I played Doom and other DOS classics on KB, I'd prefer the full layout. I tried a generic USB keyboard with a USB extension cable and it worked fine with RA and KQ3.

As soon as I press a key on my keyboard RetroArch text appears detecting it correctly as a Logitech K400 keyboard (not a gamepad). It still doesn't work though :/ if anyone has any Bluetooth keyboards that work in RA let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermath17 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Retroarch updated to 1.7.2 and ScummVM has stopped working. The instant I click to load the rom, it blinks back to my main Shield menu. Other cores work. Tried deleting and re-download the core. Also tried re-installing RA, neither work. I did notice I can still run games through the standalone ScummVM app and the keyboard even works. I like RA but it's a real pain sometimes.

I set up Quake then that stopped non scummvm! I'm cursed lol. has the core name changed to what's in your .ini? I may have upped the .so file to the tutorial WIP. You could try my local online updater guide to reinstate the core to your Shield if not routed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I just asked someone to test this on andriod RA directly with .scummvm files. All working on latest core, stable RA and latest nightly. Works on my phone also. Latest core but v1.7.1 RA I must be something in you setup or the Shield. Try deleting you scummvm.ini in RetroArch/system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try deleting you scummvm.ini in RetroArch/system I was repeatedly trying King's Quest III (kq3) and it no longer works for me with RA 1.7.2 (it worked with RA 1.7.1). I tried Space Quest I, Goldrush, Police Quest I, they all worked. No idea what has suddenly happened to this one game. Tried deleting the scummvm.ini, no luck. Very strange. Oh well, RetroArch's input fork breaks keyboard control for most of these games anyway so the standalone ScummVM app it is for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanchezmike01 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 For future reference to avoid any retroarch headaches, I recommend to switching almost all directories to an area of the shield to u have access to...that includes overlays, saves, config,info file, controller remaps,....the only things that should stay default are the cores location and maybe the shaders location....reason behind it is u can manually edit any configs or manually add overlays per game via a batch or import ur own core info files if custom...if u chose to delete retroarch and start from scratch at least u have everything saved on hand and all u will need to do is downlaod a different version of retroarch and go back to directories and map them again to the custom locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
