@skrapps914
Thanks for your feedback. It gave me the idea to create an uninstall procedure.

I can't see how the script can do this. But if you want to disable it to check if it really is the reason, you can delete the #include line at the beggining of /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.

thanks for your reply and help. I went and removed the code, and lr-gpsp still wont work, perhaps it was something else that's causing it, and not this as suspected. i'm stuck without a clue as to why it will work, and then stop working once i installed the controller scrip though. maybe there was something else updating in the background, like the retropie script or something... i'm gonna format the card again, and try again, see if i can track it down

@skrapps914 why reformat? Did you try going into retro-pie setup and reinstall the emulator? Which emulator are you using. Have you tried the other emulator?

[skrapps914]

@edmaul69 yeah, ive tried uninstalling, reinstalling the emulator, and it wont work. it works when i reformat, but then i run updates..and it stops.. but not sure what update is killing it

@meleu hey, just wondering any plan to add an image/icon for this in the retropie setup selection? if not, is it easy to make my own and add it?

It's easy to add it. But if it is easy to make your own depends on your artistic skills. :-)

I would like to add an image there, but I don't have enough proficiency with CG softwares...

Actually I would love to see what @Rookervik or @lilbud can do in this regard, but I don't have enough intimacy to ask them for it... :-)

[Rookervik]

@meleu Er? I don't really know what kind of icon you're needing haha. Some sort of icon for setting up controllers for RetroArch? I've just redone all the icons for the retropie menu but haven't had any feedback so that project is on hold for the moment.

@Rookervik
This isn't an "official" tool, but some users are enjoying it.

It's a tool to configure the joystick input for RetroArch players 1-4. Not to configure the buttons, it's just what controller will control the players 1-4.
https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

After the installation, the tool is launchable at RetroPie menu and it has a description.

I was thinking on a image with 4 mini-joysticks on the left and 4 numbered retroarch-space-invaders-like symbols on the right and some scrambled lines connecting each other side. Or something like that... But If you want to honor us with an image, I trust in your artistic skills, do as you want!

[lilbud]

@meleu How about this?

[Rookervik]

@lilbud Looks good, but I'd remove the numbers. That'd make a great icon.

[meleu]

@lilbud Thanks!

I was thinking in something to refer to the possibility of reordering.

[lilbud]

@Rookervik Fixed It

[Rookervik]

@lilbud Good stuff lilbud :D

[skrapps914]

@meleu http://i.imgur.com/vSiUQjm.png what about this?

[meleu]

@lilbud the d-pad and the buttons are transparent, so it doesn't look fine with Carbon theme, for example...

[lilbud]

@meleu I will fix it soon, I am not home at the moment.

[meleu]

@lilbud and what about that numbers inside the pads?
Let's wait you get at home...

[lilbud]

@meleu I will get on that

[meleu]

@lilbud hahaha. That Squidward Quincy Tentacles video was funny!
I mean the numbers inside the pads, not outside like the old. :-)

@lilbud about the d-pad and buttons (and now the numbers) transparency:
