I would advise to install the xpadneo driver from RetroPie-Setup and re-pair (via bluetooth) the controller, followed by re-configuring it again in EmulationStation.

@mgrabow

Depending on which libretro core you use, when enabling cheats, your setting is probably stored as a core option in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg .

Something like this (depending on which core) :

mame_cheats_enable = "enabled"

Try to set your, similar, line on "disabled" to disable the cheats.

@mitu Once again, I tip my hat to you.

My guess, the gamepad is being read as port 3, which often won't do anything in most games since they're 1 or 2-player. What you can do about this:

Open a game, and then open the RetroArch quick menu with P1 Select + X. Go to quick menu > controls > port 3 controls > mapped port change from "3" to "1". Close the menu with Select + X again and test your gamepad. If it works for P1 control, open up the menu one more time with Select + X and save a core remap file. You will have to repeat this once for each core/system.

Waht can i do ??

As the printed error hints - do you have the RetroPie-Setup folder in /home/pi ? How did you install RetroPie ? Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

RetroPie doesn't boot into the Vice emulator by default, did you modify the auto-start sequence ?

I have software/some games, how do I load/run my games on the Pi400 C64??

You can copy the game files (floppy/cassete images) in the c64 rom folder and you can then load them from the Vice menu. Normally, if you start in the EmulationStation front-end, they would be listed and you can just start each one from the list with vice/lr-vice.

Do I put all my games onto a Flash drive and plug that into the Pi400?
Or do I put them on the SD card?

@digriz Thanks for the tip! You're right, the instructions were slightly vague for the different pairing options. My nephew is super patient so I know it's not really going to bother him. For me, I KNOW it could be better! LOL

Hi.
I followed this tutorial's steps and managed to get my BT speaker working.
The problem was that after reboot, the speaker failed to connect.
After searching the web for a while, I ran across this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/334386/how-to-set-up-automatic-connection-of-bluetooth-headset
Please see the proposed solution.
Best regards, Luís

@donkeykongcab Yep that was the prob bud . All sorted now and thanks

@dankcushions Sorry, I missed putting it into my post. It is a Rasperry pi 4. @Addison changing the resolution in the display settings seems to have fixed it. Looks like my pis didn't like the TVs resolution. I am guessing it was 4K. It also cleared up all menu lag and the picture just looks better. You guys are all brilliant. Cheers.

I seem to have fixed this somehow, though I'm not sure what exactly solved the issue

@dankcushions hiya, I seam to be able to configure everything as far as I know and can test, I am actually thinking the game is not loading properly, how long should it take before the game start screen actually shows? and should I get the loading scribbles in the background?

@tzdig don't write/drag/put anything before certutil.

@windg oh my gosh, that is just unbelievable!

Ok, i renew my question...will there be a 4.7.21 in 2022? :D

@mitu It seems I left my remote connection open on the computer and some config files where deleted by mistake. Thank you for pointing me in the correct direction this fixed it!

@mitu IT WORKED!!!!!

I needed to install xpadneo. Thank you so very very much - I spent so long trying all the different combinations!!

@upjumptheboogie The Xbox S-X should be supported by the xpadneo driver - did you install it before pairing the controller ?

@sleve_mcdichael cheers will have a better look later on tonight please bere with me guys. Thanks

@sleve_mcdichael then there's the problem right there lol. Thank you for all your help, you've spent a lot of time on me. I'm going to continue to read up on this. It's all a learning experience for me and very interesting. Happy new year to you!!
