@cpasjuste : I'm not at home right now but while thinking of it, mapping "insert coin" and "start" to the same button (SELECT) should do as a workaround for now, right?
This would break consoles :'(@cpasjuste : I'm not at home right now but while thinking of it, mapping "insert coin" and "start" to the same button (SELECT) should do as a workaround for now, right?
But now you did?Edit: didn't fully understand what you meant, so yes it should do it.
But now you did?
While using the controller (SNES pad by 8Bitdo) for which I posted the image above, the START button seems to be "dead". Every other button seem to work. I can throw in coins but am not able to start the actual game.
I tried mapping both to SELECT. Still SELECT only inserts a coin but doesn't let me start the game.In the main menu, you can't set start and coin button to the same button ? If you can't access the main menu, you can edit pfba.cfg manually.
No, "we" need to find/know what is the "start" button I guess. For me a single joycon doesn't have this extra button isn't it ?I tried mapping both to SELECT. Still SELECT only inserts a coin but doesn't let me start the game.
Could you imagine why the START button of 8bitdo controllers are not being recognized? I placed many roms on my SD card today for pFBA and it would be sooo cool to play them with a SNES pad.
Yep. That's why you used the analog stick "button" in single JoyCon mode (which is a brilliant idea btw). But this SNES controller is famous for the fact that it appears for the Switch as a regular Nintendo Switch Pro Controller (although it doesn't have R2, L2, analog sticks, screenshot and home button, but home button can be simulated by pressing SELECT + d-pad down).No, "we" need to find/know what is the "start" button I guess. For me a single joycon doesn't have this extra button isn't it ?
Yep. As I wrote above the START button shows itself as a PLUS button to the Switch.Does the plus button work in Switch games?
I'm lucky enough to have two of those SNES controllers (both have the same issue). I tried anything.Maybe adding more controllers has them activate tiny controller mode in pfba, which could result in an odd interaction? (If so, try connecting the controllers before entering pfba, try to connect two of them - maybe plus works on one but not the other)
Ah I've got some new information. Dunno why I haven't tested my real Pro Controller too (yes I have one of those as well) but now I found the problem:Interesting and strange. Thank you for the report. If someone in here has one, or better two Pro controllers and can test this, maybe it might surface something that would be helpful for diagnosing this..
Ah I've got some new information. Dunno why I haven't tested my real Pro Controller too (yes I have one of those as well) but now I found the problem:
PLUS isn't working there too but pressing the left analog stick actually does. That means a Pro Controller is handled by pFBA as a single JoyCon.
@cpasjuste Is there anything you can do about that? By either implementing a different config for Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers (which would include 8bitdo devices) or making them appear like two attached JoyCons (which should be the best solution as a Pro Controller actually has all buttons that two JoyCons have).
A third way which would be more kind of a workaround would be if you can make a button combination being recognized as START. For example SELECT+R+B or something like that.

hi, just a small question, i'm getting nuts trying to run msx games ..
i'l try to put rom on this dirs
rom
rom/msx
pfba/msx
named with a prefix _msx or without.
may somebody nice enough , to say where i have to put the roms to be seen by pfba ?
when i try the menu "show hardware" he see all the arcades roms but swapping in system (and msx) 0 found
thanks in advance
btw, same for genesis...
thanks, but don't work ...
i changed the ini file
put the rom in the correct dirs ...
still nothing appear (msx and genesis) the arcade roms appears
Just to let you know, pFBA does use the stock/vanilla romset of FBA. So if 99% of your FBA romset are wrong, your romset is wrongok thank you
it works, i just peek a romset fro """""fba""""" and 99% are not good i won't spend dozen hours renaming each roms
i'll try to find a correct set if exist (i don't ask for it)
thanks again
