This review also reports same kind of issue.ĮDIT: Adding another update for benefit of others. Some probem is definitely there as retropie sometimes does strange things like going back to previous menu even though I don't press any key etc. No issues found there.Īlso retropie is using the lr-fceumm emulator, not nestopia. Tried the diagnostic tool reported by agent86. Has anyone experienced this and know what I am talking about? How can I fix this please?ĮDIT: Wanted to add few updates here.
Also I have tried other games besides Contra and the issue is still there with them as well. I also downloaded Nestopia for PC and tried the controllers on PC and had the same problem. I am not sure if its problem with controller or the emulator or both?. The player gets down at times but more often than not it would move right. Its not that the controllers are completely messed up and I have the wrong key bindings. When I tap the A button quickly (causes the player to jump), the second tap gets ignored. Problem: when playing Contra I press the down button on D-pad but often the player starts moving right with gun pointed down. I am not able to play the games smoothly.
I tried unsuccessfully to get USB Overdrive working so I dropped the eight bucks for GPC.I have a setup to play NES games according to this link. You can download a shareware program called USB Overdrive (shareware | $20 | download) and map your controller to the keys associated with the various buttons in your emulator, or you can download GamePad Companion ($7.99) from the Mac App Store and do the same thing. To do so, you’ve got a couple of options. The keyboard is great and all, but if you’ve got an old USB gamepad then you might as well use it. Getting your GamePad or Joystick to work with OSX Download, install, and start loading your ROMs. It’s not as configurable as Nestopia, but it’s gaining on Nestopia in popularity and support.
Maciform (free | download) Maciform is a great NES emulator that works with Mac OS X.
FYI, I’m including the install instructions for EE because it’s not as easy as “double-click to install.” Emulator Enhancer installation And if you want to go full screen and use a USB game controller you’ll need to download and install the add-on, Emulator Enhancer (shareware | $30 | download). It’s fast, precise, and is darn near perfect. Nestopia (free | download) Nestopia is the current king of the NES emulation hill. I’ve been able to get both up and running with my Gravis GamePad Pro, and both are compatible with the ROMs I use on my PC (I use nesterJ btw). Of the handful of NES emulators available for the Mac, I suggest using Nestopia or Maciform. If you’re one of those folks who want to set up an NES emulator on a Mac here’s what you need to do. It used to be that you could only emulate the NES on a PC, but some crafty developers have made it possible to emulate the NES on a Mac. In fact, I play NES games way more than I do games on my Xbox 360. I love Baseball Stars, Final Fantasy, Tecmo Bowl, and Swords and Serpents. I love the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System.
