@rbox420 To skip mapping a button, just long press an existing button on the gamepad - like instructed on the mapping screen.

@caver01 Thanks very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. The DK scenario is one I hadn't contemplated (map all buttons) and a good idea.

@courtesybear howchoo =death by ads.

Official docs are ad free ;)

Alright thank you.

Is it only certain games every time or is it random when it works or doesnt? If it's the same games every time I'd say that it could be possible those games have a non lr- Mame emulator associated with them which could mean the bindings are loaded from a separate cfg whereas all of the lr- emulators use the global retroarch cfg. You should be able to spot check a couple in the runcommand splash screen menu if it's enabled.

I found myself in the same situation when I installed the Retropie Manager. Told me I had invalid BIOS files and also rom titles I tried to transfer to my pi. I already was transferring through ssh, but thought I would try the manager out. Boy was I mistaken..lol.

@caz That is fantastic. I love the panel graphics!

Thank you! That sent me in the right direction..... /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation contains a file es_input.cfg. Just had to reverse the keyboard input IDs for Start and A button.

@buzz I'm a completely new to the Retropie scene, so please forgive my stupidity.

If I run a game from a command line I'm assuming that I have to quit Emulation Station.

If I do that will the config file still be used for the system that I am running from the command line to back out of a game (hotkey+start)?

I'm asking because I do not want to unplug my Pi when I'm done with a game...

Thank you in advance!!

@barbudreadmon Thanks very much, will do as advised

Probably related to https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/issues/162 which was fixed 10 days ago.

@finhead Could RetroPie 4.0 have a different retroarch default hotkey for exiting the game on NES / SNES emulator?

Thanks

[SOLVED]

I noticed that in the main retroarch.cfg file there was a setting as follows:

# Toggles fullscreen. # input_toggle_fullscreen = f

I wasn't aware that a commented line means that the "default" is still enabled. (ie: "f" is still enabled to toggle fullscreen).

I've now changed this to the following (ie: replaced "f" with "nul") and the "problem" is now resolved:

# Toggles fullscreen. input_toggle_fullscreen = nul

I had a problem with 4.3 - every time I played something from Kodi, the screen would go black after playback. I would have to reboot to restore the GUI. I couldn’t find a resolution so the only way to solve it was to roll back to 4.2 where I have no problems with the screen going black after playback. Unfortunately I have this other issue that I’ve not encountered before. Worth noting that I ran Kodi 17.3 before and had the option to reboot/shut down.

You can try to use the SD Card Copier that is now available in Raspbian. I don't know if it's available in Jessie tho, so I'm not sure if you could install Raspbian within Retropie and copy your running SD to an SD connected via USB.
Otherwise you need to set up an extra Card just with Raspbian and use two card readers to clone your card. The tool will clone your card to smaller/bigger cards and shrink/expand the filesystem automatically.
I only tried it with my OSMC card and got an error message on the new card, but OSMC is not suppose to have the filesystem size changed afterwards and i was using an older Noobs version. So I'm not sure if it would work with Retropie flawlessly and i don't have spare cards to test it.

@rbaker It's like the controls are the Hotkeys.

@byaaah31 The linked topic recommend using the right roms for the emulator you will be using, not the reverse. To find the right rom on google, no need to download from 12 websites, you just need to type the name of the emulator + its version, one of the first links contains all the roms you'll need (the first one in my case). But again, if you are okay without shaders, savestates, rewind, netplay, autoconfig, dipswitches, better sound, ... , using pifba is fine.

If anyone wants to patch a rom online use this link http://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/
@meleu posted a thread on it a month ago

@dankcushions Ok thanks my Raspberry Pi is running now thanks!
