RetroPie-Setup (c0d3h4x0r fork)

This public fork of RetroPie-Setup is for users who need fixes now for annoying problems/shortcomings that the mainline RetroPie maintainer isn't willing to do anything about or accept fixes for.

The main advantages this fork offers are:

• Rewritten Bluetooth configurator for more reliable device scanning, pairing, connecting, and display. It uses bluetoothctl under the hood to do all scanning, pairing, connecting, trusting, etc. It has been self-tested against a variety of Bluetooth devices, including PS3 sixaxis/DualShock controllers, and verified to work better with all of them.

• Better gamepad button mappings for the joy2key script used to drive the retropie_setup.sh and runcommand textual menus with a gamepad. The changes in this fork make the gamepad button mappings match those used in EmulationStation, including using the L/R shoulder buttons for PageUp/PageDown.

  • NOTE: You'll need to run retropie_setup.sh and use its package manager to re-install the runcommand package from "prebuilt binaries" to get the runcommand dialog to pick up the fix.

• Added ability to splashscreen module to configure the playback volume of a video splashscreen.

  • NOTE: You'll need to run retropie_setup.sh and use its package manager to re-install the splashscreen package from "prebuilt binaries" to get the splashscreen to pick up this new setting.

• Greatly improved joy2key script used to drive the retropie_setup.sh and runcommand textual menus with a gamepad. The changes in this fork make the gamepad control of these menus far more responsive and reliable.

Binaries and Sources
