Have you transferred any ROMs to your Pi. If you have not transferred any ROMs you won't see the emulators. Check out transferring ROMs in the wiki.

@red2blue i believe the overlays are in that thread.

@paulace55 glad you got it sorted

@willreaper neo geo has several possible emulators that they could work on. You might want to try as many as possible to find a working one. I recommend trying lr-fbalpha and lr-fbalpha2012

@catastroph3 could be a couple issues. Are you using wireless 360 controllers? If so the wireless receiver is actually detected as 4 controllers so your other controller is probably detected as controller 5. You can use joystick-selection to change which controllers are used as what in retroarch systems. Is your psx emulator, lr-pcsx-rearmed?
If so if you go into the retroarch gui by pressing select & x. Then go into quick menu then options. Now enable the multitap. Plus you might have to change each controller between standard and analog in there.

@megafacehead @ogbuehi Plug and play! Works great! Thanks for taking the time to chime in and help with that! Really appreciate it!

Hi @KevinsHope

Follow the instructions on Retropie.org.uk to download and install the official image to an SD card.

Once you have an official image installed, try it again and see whether it now works.

the keyboard will always be set as player one from what ive read. and it should work simultanously with the gamepad.

@rascas I unplugged everything the night before, didn't help. I had reset the TV in the morning, but it did't seem to solve it either. However by the time I got home it was working again!

Updated the OP to indicate this problem is solved, and the solution.

as far as i can tell, this behavior can be different depending on the BIOS. load up a neogeo rom for instance, and you will see a retroarch quickmenu >> options entry you can change to a few different button combinations (Holding Start being the default). then take 1942 for example in where holding start does nothing, and you must activate the service mode from retroarch quickmenu > options then restart the core.

also, there is a line in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

fba-diagnostic-input = "Hold Start"

that might be what you're after.
i'm not 100% certain on all this but i hope it helps point you in the right direction.

retroarch-joypads is actually a symlink pointing to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/ and my guess is that windows just doesn't know how to follow it properly.

@bjwest When you add a path to a library within Kodi you can select the Use Local Data only option and enable the checkbox to Look for Movies in their own folder. Thats pretty much it for setting Kodi up.
If you use tinyMediaManager to scrape all your Movies/Series beforehand, you can/must also use it to batch rename the files (which can also put them into separate folders).
That means, if you have a lot of files it might take a while to get all the data.

I used this guide for the overclocking and this was the correct method and worked for me:

http://www.instructables.com/id/RetroPie-Overclocked-Raspberry-Pi-3-for-Video-Game/

Take a close look of that console image, where the lines are positioned in the boot config, that is the key thing that has to be correct.

After that, you need to try out different settings in the emulation, by opening the Quick Menu while game is running and changing the emulation options.

@saikyo78 you shouldn't have to, i didnt downgrade my controller after playing on the Switch, and im currently using it on Retropie. (Maybe 8bitdo has updated their manual / faq?)

Rewrote the image, and everything was nice and fresh. I can register each controller through the menu prompt but they won't connect or be recognized at all now

@treedude well that sucks. It would be nice to be able to rule that out. But the xbox driver might be an issue too...
