irrelevant_pelican Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Everytime I close and re open NEStopia, I have to put my controller inputs into it again. Is there a way to fix this?I followed the advice in this thread http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12239-resolved-nestopia-configuration-questions/ , and set the read only attribute on the xml file. However, I then got an error after closing NEStopia that my configurations couldn't be saved, seen here: http://imgur.com/yTYydci Any idea how I can fix this?(also is there a way to be emailed if I get a reply to this post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffman81 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 What version of Nestopia are you running? I've had this problem before as well and I had to start creating a backup of my Nestopia config so I didn't have to reconfigure the controls each time if by chance Nestopia didn't store the info in the config file. Also, not that it matters much, but what gamepad are you using? Are you plugging into the same USB port each time or using a different port? Not sure if using different ports matter much, but I do recall reading something awhile back where Nestopia required the controller to be plugged into the same USB port each time once configured... I believe that was an older version of Nestopia though. I still have this problem from time to time and never could figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Have you considered using MESS? I use it for NES, SNES, and atari. Best thing is it's basicly the same as MAME in terms of config. So if you know how that works, then you already know MESS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Along the lines of RIP-Felix' suggestion you might also consider taking RetroArch for a spin. One beneficial aspect this would afford is that you could still emulate NES using the Nestopia core, but without some of the troubling configuration management issues contingent with using Nestopia directly (RetroArch serves as the all purpose frontend for configuring each of the emulator cores within its ecosystem). All told I think RetroArch has really been gaining some momentum (and an increased user base) within the last year or so. It's also worth checking out if you've not done so.

Adultery Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 +1 for RetroArch. Being able to not stretch the video and apply a bezel is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
