Got it figured out! Thanks for trying to help. Instead of 6 buttons I had it on 3 buttons.

@edmaul69 I'll check it out tonight when I get home from work and thanks for all the help I've played with linux before but this is my first pi.

Im triying to customize controls in the diferent emulators, and I got it pressing Select + X while in the game.

If this is the only thing you wanna do, the best and simplest way to do it is through Core Input Remapping. And it doesn't need the config_save_on_exit enabled to work.

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#core-input-remapping

The problem is that if you already enabled config_save_on_exit, probably your configs are messed. If you don't know how to recover the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist files, I suggest a fresh install and then using Core Input Remapping.

And, of course, searching the answers on the wiki always helps...

Jesus Christ, it seems that I got it!. Thanks for your help!

And yeah, trust me when I say that I've read the wiki, I've read a lot of forums and spent hours watching videotutorials in youtube. I was really desperate.

It turned out that my hdmi cable didnt work with the pi as it should, so I got another one and now my pi works like a charm :D

Thanks a ton. I didn't even have to do the bindings because the disk control options are easily accessible in the retroarch quick menu. I found it by accident when I tried to figure out how to do it; turns out I was pretty close... The only thing I missed was that I was supposed to swap the disk input in between ejecting and closing the virtual tray.

Thanks so much for helping, you managed to find the missing pieces to my puzzle.

Anyone ?

@daeks Sorry, I misunderstood and wasn't aware that was how you were using it. I have never managed it like this, hence why I didn't see it as an issue. I always have access to the shares and this is how I manage the Pi or I drop into a prompt or SSH to the device.

And launching it manually

@M0nKeY Better than using a static address though for me, but I agree it's not ideal - I will sort this out eventually - I just have little time for doing the website on top of everything else. Cheers!

@Rydra I would, so long as nothing else gets broken :)

Thanks so much. Updating the firmware got me sorted. It's showing the proper amount of memory now... It's just not booting into emulationstation. Just drops to console... working on that now.

EDIT: It was the memory split. Reverted and now everything boots up again. Back to the beginning; installing emulationstation-kids.

@shreddedbullet Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroPie-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-x86-Flavor

And see RetroPie-Setup -> Configuration / Tools -> Autostart

@BuZz Thank you. I just realized I could configure this within the input configuration of mame4all. I was working too late last night I think.

Thank you I restarted ES and it was there...

Thanks, I used the second file and its working fine.

@markyh444 First, let me apologize if I came off as needy or rude. I was having trouble locating the information I wanted, or had trouble understanding it I guess would be a better way of putting it.

Secondly, I would like to thank you for all of your advice and assistance. I think I finally figured out what I am doing. Turns out I understand things when I see it on my Windows desktop and just needed to edit information there instead of trying to do it on the Retropie (not sure if that makes sense).

Lastly, I want to say that I FINALLY got the buttons mapped how I wanted them in N64 and this also gives me information on how to do it in other emulators should I choose to do so.

Thanks a lot for sticking with me!

@BuZz Switched to UAE4ARM and now the gamepads work without any problems! Thank you! Spent some time trying to figure this out and messing with xboxdrv... :-) :-). Now it just works.

@PiE81
Kind of unrelated and I did this a long time ago but here's how I got lr-quake working with a keyboard:
