I'm running into this too (per-game prefs not sticking). I kept trying to change the default controllers to Joystick for Scramble, SuperCobra and Stay Frosty 2. It would work, until I power-cycled the RetroN 77, and it would revert them to Genesis controllers. Weird thing though, in the stella.pro file on the SD card, there are entries for each game that say "Controller.Left" "JOYSTICK". So the data was written - just not read.

I'm also having settings switch when I power cycle..

I second the thanks to everyone who worked on this.  I'm really enjoying this latest community build.

 

I have noticed an issue with the latest community build, and wonder if anyone else has seen this.  My second paddle button doesn't work in this build.  Anybody else seeing that issue?  I used a multimeter to confirm that the button itself is working through the cable, and it works on my 2600.

 

The hyper-paddle fix really is awesome, and this build is near perfect.  Thanks!!

I had/have issues with controls as well. If your issue is the same I had, you'll have to MAP the controls for your second set of paddles. Should work fine after that(I had to do this a few times and still occasionally have to remap buttons).

This project is amazing(played the demo)! I look forward to the full release! Thanks for the hard work!

 

Edit: Playing this on my Retron 77. Looks great!

What was the problem?

Right paddles buttons were not functioning in Basic settings. 2 sets of paddles had same results. Player 2 and 4 could not start the ball in Breakaway or hold the ball in Warlords.

 

Binding the buttons worked in Advanced settings, but activating that caused a small cascade of other issues. Had to re-bind all aspects of each paddle control after the first power down.

Thank you for all of the work involved with this! I can finally stream audio and after A LOT of messing around with Beta 2, paddles all work great! You guys rock! Looking forward to next release.
