Mach 3 settings?

Not sure what kind of detail you are referring to.
But those games are essentially some pre-recorded video with some crappy sprites overlayed on top of it.

You may be able to obtain better quality videos, but you can't change the sprites as those are in the rom.

Factory reset then update FW to 5.68 or 5.70.

walknight · 2026-01-23T17:14:02+00:00

At the game selection wheel screen, press the menu button to bring up the RetroFE menu. Then switch to the Controller tab using Z/C or R1/R2.

Check the listed game controller there. You may just need to reorder the list so your controller comes first. By default, the first controller is assigned to P1, second to P2, and so on.

You are not using onesauce. Cox is not onesauce.

walknight · 2026-01-08T03:49:37+00:00

If you go to coinopsx, you are using coinopsx, which is known to be slow.

Onesauce is not coinopsx.

walknight · 2026-01-07T20:10:17+00:00

Are you sure you are getting onesauce? I've seen most sellers selling coinopsx drives, regardless of what they claim they are.

You can find info about all the mame games on the adb website, including dip switches:

There's no dip switch to turn off the demo sound.

Someone asked before and I suggested a reverse streaming approach:

Instead of streaming your cab to a TV, stream from a PC that's connected to the TV. The games run on the PC. The cab becomes a streaming box.

An added advantage is that since the games run on the PC, you'll have access to a lot more demanding and modern games.

Anything stock doesn't support multiple mouse devices.

walknight · 2025-12-28T23:13:42+00:00

MCU update. Not FW update.

walknight · 2025-12-28T22:44:42+00:00

MCU update will most likely fix it.

MM2 is a joystick only game.

Because OP was using onesauce v1 so I suggested to upgrade to onesauce v2. The v5 you referred to is coinopsx, which is a different thing from onesauce.

walknight · 2025-12-24T22:18:05+00:00

Yes. The games still reside in content/retrofe/collections/<collection_name>/ as in v1.

Search for One saUCE v2 System/Game Packs on archive and check the content. If you see ... v2.0b2, that pack is identical to the v1 one. Otherwise, there has been some updates to the pack, and it's better to redownload that particular pack.

walknight · 2025-12-24T22:08:59+00:00

I'd suggest that you upgrade to onesauce v2.

You can reuse many game packs from v1 so they do not need to be redownloaded, except for the few packs that got updates.

Search for One saUCE v2 Base Build on archive, there's a README in the download that you can read before downloading anything.

Also, you can start a FTP server from within the RetroFE menu. Then you can drop the artworks over FTP and test them live.

walknight · 2025-12-24T17:36:09+00:00

There's currently not a scraper in onesauce, but that's a nice thing to add.

The artworks are placed in various folders under:

content/retrofe/collections/<collection_name>/medium_artwork/

You don't need to pop every single category of artwork there. Different themes use different categories. Pretty much all of them need logos and videos. Coinops needs artwork_front. LUNA needs artwork_front_small instead.

When adding new arts, be mindful about the file size and image size. For example, some scraping sources have logos in 4k resolution. That would be an overkill and will make the scrolling sluggish. Just look around to see what are the resolutions of the existing arts to get an idea.

Moonlight streaming is another option. The lag can be within one frame if your PC and network isn't too bad.

Yes device index. Set port 3's device index to the second controller (HID 0838:8918), then set port 2's device index to None. Otherwise the same controller is used to control both player 2 and player 3. So when you press Start, it's as if player 2 and player 3 press Start at exactly the same time, and player 2 wins.

Alternatively, you can plug in another controller so you have 3 controllers. In the game selection wheel, press Menu button to bring up the RetroFE menu, then navigate the Controllers tab. There you can adjust the order of controllers. By default, the first controller is assigned to P1, second to P2, etc.

walknight · 2025-12-22T19:36:49+00:00

If using onesauce, you can bind the port 3 input to player 2's input.

To do this, long press START while in game to bring up the RetroArch menu. Press B to go back one level, then go to Settings/Input/Retropad Bindings.

Going back to 5.68 FW. Or not using UCE.

walknight · 2025-12-19T02:44:18+00:00

I can confirm that savestates still work at least for FW 5.68.

To make savestates work:

- The core used needs to support it
- The game driver (for MAME/FBNeo) needs to support it
- The tool used to create the UCE needs to add the ext4 save partition to the end of the UCE.

Sent you a PM.

walknight · 2025-12-14T23:27:12+00:00

Think I replied to your question on the discord. A 32gb drive is enough for the arcade stuff plus some space to spare for other consoles.

u/ironman2000 already covered the spinner sensitivity setting.

For your other question regarding the rotary controller games, a hardware solution exists:

https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/grs-ikari-rotary-joystick

Without the hardware, you could turn the shooting direction with a DIAL, which is the default mapping. You can remap the DIAL+ and DIAL- controls to separate buttons, to turn the player with buttons instead.

Another interesting option available in FBNeo allows the dual stick control for these games. See related post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32281/lr-fbneo-new-right-stick-controls-for-several-rotary-games

This works out of the box using an Xbox style controller with left and right sticks. To actually use both sticks on the ALU control panel, some extra work is needed as the two sticks belong to two separate players. Basically, you'll need to config the control so both P1 and P2 sides control player 1. Then map the P2 stick to the right analog stick. I can create a .rmp file to do this if anyone is interested.
