So I have similar specs, and have been following this site https://howchoo.com/g/mti0oge5nzk/pi-cart-a-raspberry-pi-retro-gaming-rig-in-an-nes-cartridge and was directed to come here when they couldn't figure out the same issue @skrapps914 is having.

Plug in all USB devices first, then power, USB Hub light comes on, which also had worked when on desktop. Decided to directly connect keyboard and/or gamepad without HUB so was directly to the USB to mini USB to Pi 0. Still nothing showing in Emulation Station. Had to directly disconnect the power and reconnect and start over, still no dice. Went from a 2.0 Amp to a 2.5 Amp, no difference.

also did you read https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation ?

I suspect you are running the rpi2/3 image on a rpi0/1

Hi guys, I just figure out what was wrong. I noticed that the zero delay joystick directionals should be connected in a specific order in the board: UP | DOWN | RIGHT | LEFT and I connected something like UP | RIGHT | LEFT | DOWN.

I thought the position wouldn't matter because I could set them in the retropie. Probably the board can't handle UP+DOWN and LEFT+RIGHT simultaneously, what makes sense, but when I connected in the wrong positions it wasn't handling UP+RIGHT and DOWN+LEFT simultaneously.

Anyway, my problem is solved now,

Thank you

@herb_fargus I forgot about that herb. Think I set my Zero up before this was implemented.

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.

@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.
