      Hi there, apologies for what may be an obvious problem (but I can't find a solution to it in the forums. I've got the various images etc copies onto the SD card, however when I boot up the Raspberry Pi the EmulationStation title screen come us, then the gamepad configuration screen. When I hold down a button it recognises the PlayStation 3 controller (or alternatively it recognises the Bluetooth keyboard. However, it doesn't allow me to actually configure. Once I've pressed another button 'OK' comes up at the bottom of the screen (and a white line separates it and the recognition of the PlayStation 3 controller. Could it be a problem with the line running off the bottom of the screen? I'm using a samsung smart TV and did have to make an initial change to the config/txt file?

      Thanks, Barry

        Update - did the simple thing - reformatted the SD card and got a fresh image from Retropie website. Now appears to work ok!
