      and now it's doing it in mame4all also, but not lr-mame4all, started when i installed advmame from setup, maybe it did something to the input or joypad config? How does the non-LR configure the gamepad?

        I killed joy2key.py, and the problem went away... Any way to fix it, or unload joy2key when it's not needed?

          Does it happen everytime or just when you access the runcommand menu?

            @meleu once i killed the process, the joy2key.py went away, and also the problem. Since it started to occur when i installed advmame, I checked out retropie-setup, and it was THERE were it ran (and didn't close) joy2key.py.

            so I think, mostly, problem solved...

              are you running advmame while running retropie_setup (maybe through ssh)??

              I'm asking it because it's strange that joy2key remains running when retropie_setup isn't...

                nope, all running thru console, but i kill the process thru ssh terminal after i've quit running retropie-setup from within emulationstation

                Also, i think i'm using the beta, where can i see what version i'm running?

                  do you remember if you quit using ctrl+c? when quitting this way the retropie_setup does not stop jo2key...

                  Also, i think i'm using the beta, where can i see what version i'm running?

                  At the top of the first dialog of retropie_setup.

                    Quit the setup normally, by backing out to top menu and selecting exit.

                    Can't check my version right now, installing from source...

                      Don't you have a screen similar to this?:

                      undefined

                        @meleu Yeah, was just not sure i wanted to open another instance of setup while compiling from source. Did it anyways, running 4.0-rc1.
