ok. looks like i missed that in general inputs. i assumed it would be under player 1 ,2 etc. just looked under other controls and found it. thanks . i guess ill see if i can nail down when its speeding up with more info. however wouldnt a TOO SLOW system slow down not speed up. i have a skylake cpu. granted its only a pentium but its almost as modern as you can get. kabylake wasnt out yet when i built this.

Not sure if i should start a new topic since this is no longer a retroarch problem but since this is where the discussion is i will continue here. I have moved over to mame as sugested with my shiny new 183 romset and all games are working. set my controller config and find when i get into a game i cant insert a coin or start player one. i set start and select in general inputs for button 9 and 10 but apparently thats not what they are for. after some research all i found is to hit tab in the game and set the coin and start 1p buttons in there. doing that for 3000 games is INSANE so more research. found that i should make a custom controller config with those button maps in there so i created a default.cfg file in the ctrl folder. <mameconfig version="10"> <system name="default"> <!--coin start global --!> <port tag=":P1_P2" type="START1" mask="128" defvalue="128"> <newseq type="standard"> JOYCODE_1_BUTTON10 </newseq> </port> <port tag=":SYSTEM" type="COIN1" mask="1" defvalue="1"> <newseq type="standard"> JOYCODE_1_BUTTON9 </newseq> </port> </system> </mameconfig> named it default.cfg and removed all other files from the folder. doesnt work. if your still reading i have a side problem while playing games. some will randomly speed up. sometimes they stop sometimes i just keeps going till i hit esc.

well i came to the 2003 by trial and error on the first set i had. 2003 worked best but my thinking was the newer year cores would match the newer sets. i will get mame and play with it.

either way i dont know the command lines to rotate per game. i have found many different variations while searching and none of them affect the image except the main rotation within retroarch.

i was using the retro arch core just for consitancy and i have learned it with other platforms. would plain mame be better ? i am using the mame 2003 core because it runs most of the romset i have. i do however have a different set that i am removing games i dont want and i believe that runs on the mame 2016 best. i can move to mame no retroarch if you think its best.

cant get this orientation to change per rom. any walkthrus how to do it.

ok. Thanks again for all the quick responses

i am using retroarch. i changed it the main settings from normal to 90 because burger time was the first game i loaded and it was wrong. then the second game was even more wrong. i guess ill put back to normal and change in each game. any idea what percentage need to be rotated. i never saw any like that in all my testing not oin full screen.

i am using a 16x9 monitor in standard configuration by the way.

Thanks. Turns out i still had a custom config being called from my testing stages. took that out and all is well. Now i have a new problem. I turned on full screen in video settings and when i launched burger time it was rotated 90 degrees. no big deal i went in and rotated 90 in main video settings . burger time was back to the right orientation. i launched donkey kong and now that is upside down. why would roms have a different orientation. does this mean i need to figure out command line orientations and edit each roms emulation to get each one right?

uggh, was hoping i was missing something easy. thank.

no.

i have launchbox and im using retroarch for my arcade games. i am using usb arcade controls for gameplay. if i load a arcade game from launchbox the game opens in retroarch but i have no controls. the controls work for launchbox and work in retro arch if i run it from its shortcut with no games playing. what can i do.
