@GetKeyOpenDoor yes, sussed that in the early hours of this morning! Haha! Thanks for your help :)

@Ethan64 you could have saved yourself a few more hours by reading the documentation in the first place: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#emulationstation

@Retropie-Love i lost the one in etc after updating something. The one you need should be in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Just wanted to add that this has happened to me as well. I am using a Model A Gen1 Pi. Went through the setup without a problem and then after a reboot I get the same msg, controller not configured.

tried setting up Xbox one controller and works fine thanks for the help mate!

Well I solved this with a work around. I had splashscreens disabled. I created a black screen png. I re-enabled splashscreens and chose my custom one. Now the autologin text does not show.

thx for the help, finally got it compiled, but it mostly just crashes back to retroarch 10 seconds into startup on the games I wanted it for. ahh, well, that's why it's called experimental.

@BuZz Thank you! That fixed the rest of it. I had to change the filesystem to exfat-fuse instead of vfat but otherwise it worked perfectly. :)

Gotcha. I'm renaming everything pre-install. I'm just getting all the files ready while the parts are shipping.

@3lric Awesome, thank you for the help. I will go through this and report back.

@UDb23 no problem. Glad to help.

@dankcushions youre too fast for me...

@sphirst I was experiencing problems too. But it started to work fine again. I'm not sure, but it can be a problem with retroachievements.org server...
I talked with libretro guys and they didn't changed anything related to cheevos recently.

It doesn't seem like this is possible due to my SPI screen and GPIO SNES controllers both needing the clock pin on the Pi, plus the scripts don't seem to be easily configurable, so I decided to order a USB SNES adapter. Hopefully I didn't fry my controller when I was trying to hook things up concurrently today.

@dankcushions Perfect advice, thank you! I've now gone ahead and installed that BIOS

Also, I've found that using eBoot files (.pbp) combine all the discs in to one image file

Heh----that's the danger with enjoying less-popular systems, not as much info is available in the world :-(

It was easier than I expected, thanks @ferdnand

Ahh so it basically adjusts to your TV's resolution. Thanks for the info.

Absolutely perfect. Did just what I wanted to do, thank you!
