controller not mapped correctly in games :(

@naddel81 You configuration folder shows 4 gamepads already configured. The RetroPie image does not include any auto-configured gamepads obviously , so this is a little bit strange how those configurations got there. Re-install the image and configure your gamepad again, then post the .cfg file that Emulationstation produces.

@naddel81
Please use three backticks for code enclosure

So
```
CODE LINE
```
Looke this

CODE LINE                                                                                

No... if if delete the file you loose your autoconfig. Not needed. But you can delete the autoconfig files in the folder if you want.
It was just for cross check

Please descripe

I enter a game, it does not recognize most of the buttons.
why is that? and how to I reset the retroarch input settings?

Does only the DPAD work and no other button?

@mitu

Strange files

I think he tried several PADs, see the creation date .... dated yesterday. So I think it's okay.

I restarted from scratch now. Gamepad works, but hotkeys still don't.

@naddel81

@mitu will help you ;) you are already there ;)

[mitu]

@naddel81 Please see my previous post.

[naddel81]

you guys are my heroes, thanks!

hotkeys work now.

only problem left is the scrolling which is not smooth at all. see here

I don't think it has to do with the super eagle 2xsai preset I use. the pi 3 b+ should be more than capable of any video preset, right?

how do I get smoother scrolling?

Not quite. The more advanced the shaders are, the more performance hungry they are and will impact your gameplay.

[naddel81]

yes, you are right. the super eagle + 2xsai made it stutter constantly when in motion.
the normal 2xsai runs fine.
is this CPU or GPU dependant?

Shaders are mostly GPU dependant.

[Darksavior]

@naddel81 I believe the only shaders made for the pi are crt-pi and zfast. Zfast is slightly faster and even runs on a lower end pi2 or snes classic.

zfast

too bad the GPU on the pi is such a slouch. :(

[mitu]

@naddel81 Get a PC, you'll be able to play more games/consoles.

[naddel81]

I have several gaming PCs available. problem is: none of them is as portable as the pi.

@naddel81 Portability comes with many compromises, performance is one of the most prominent.
