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!

I would not recommend using xboxdrv anymore. It used to be the go-to for 360 controllers but Xpad is now better. Here's some documentation on it:

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Setting-up-the-XBox360-controller

As for the version that you are currently running, there is no easy command to run to get this. Here is a Reddit post that mentions (in the comments) how to find out what version you have from Github which you'd then need to compare to what is on your screen.
As I understand it, the reason there is not an easy, one-line command is because Retropie is not one big program. Instead it is a ton of smaller programs all bound together. If you think about the many emulators that you can run on Retropie, each emulation program has its own version. This might be an oversimplification but it is how I understand it from the research I've done.

You can always follow this wiki update guide (same website as the top) to make sure you are on the latest but there is always the chance of messing up the current settings/controls you have set.

Best case scenario for you, you will see xpad on the list of drivers, install it, and things work well. But my experience is that if you change one thing, others will be modified accidentally.

Hi

I am no expert. But mame is emulating the actual arcade machine. So in arcade games such as galaga there was only one joystick so not sure there would be a way for it to emulate a 2nd joystick

There was as you noticed 2 start buttons though.

I have not tried this but what u could do is go into the mame configure screen. Hit tab with a keyboard plugged in. tell it to use a button on your 1st controller for 2 player start.
