    1. I've installed Kodi and configured Retropie to auto start Kodi when the system boot. But I have to manually type the user "pi" and the password "raspberry" every time the system starts. If I select to start in EmulationStation, I don't need to type the password.
      Is there a way to start Kodi without the need to type the username and password during the boot?

    2. When configuring my Xbox One controller, when comes to the part to press the left trigger button, once I press the button, Retropie accepts it as the left trigger, but also goes crazy and skips the next two keys configuration. I cannot go back, so I need to move on and leave those 2 keys without proper configuration. I couldn't find a way to add them later.
      Is it possible to edit the controller configuration? While in the first setup, how can I go back to the previous key config?

    3. Sometimes I just want to navigate through the UI and don't want to plug the Xbox controller, so I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple controllers. It is possible to have the the Xbox One controller and a bluetooth keyboard to navigate through Retropie UI?

    I tried to find this answers in the forum and in the documentation, but I couldn't find them.

    Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 B+
    Power Supply used: 2Amp
    RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.4
    Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
    USB Devices connected: 1TB HDD
    Controller used: Xbox One X Controller

      Can you try enabling auto-login from the raspi-config utility in the RetroPie system in Emulationstation ?

      Re-install the xpad driver (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xbox-360-Controller/#xpad-driver), then re-run the input configuration - you should be able to configure it without the problem you're describing.

      Yes.

      As a rule of thumb, when you're asking for support please include the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        I did. It works! Thanks!

        I couldn't find where I can re-run the input configuration.

        Yes.

        I also couldn't find where I can add a new input.

        Thanks for the heads up. I've added the information I found.

          @tuta1986 To configure inputs open the main menu with the start button assigned to keyboard or controller and choose 'Configure Input'. To add different types of controllers and/or keyboards just bring this menu up and repeat the process.

            @tuta1986 To configure a bluetooth keyboard, try to use the Bluetooth menu in the RetroPie menu to pair the keyboard (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Bluetooth-Controller/). It's meant to be used for adding a BT gamepad, but it might work for your keyboard.
