      Hi folks,

      I have messed around with too many different controllers, settings, remappings, etc, resulting in a big chaos.

      Now I am wondering if I can set this back to zero on all levels (ES, retroarch, individual emulators) and start a fresh controller config? Any help appreciated, thanks!

        You can do this from Retropie Setup choose Configuration Tools > emulationstation and choose the Clear/reset option.

        My English isn't at a good level.

          Thank you, I will give it a try. This will also remove remappings of single cores/ROMs?

            No, if you've saved additional remaps, you need to manually delete them from the the \\config folders - each system has its own folders to store the input remapping.

                I have the same problem but can't access the Configure Tools option due to my controller not being set properly. Can I completely clear the settings another way?

                    @mitu Thanks for replying.

                    I tried plugging my PC's keyboard into one of the USB ports but it wasn't detected and didn't respond.

                      @colstar Is F4 working (should quit EmulationStation) ? If so, then type

                      cd RetroPie-Setup
                      sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
                      

                      and you'll be in the setup script, from where you can follow up and reset the input configuration.

                        I just formatted the sd card and reinstalled as I haven't got a keyboard that works with the PI. Controller is setup and working fine now. :)

                          Was this option removed/moved?

                          closest I can see is "configedit" but if I select that I still don't get an option to reset all of them.

                          Where can I find this now?

                            No. Still here:

                              Yes Configuration / tools is there, but I don't see the reset option.

                              Closest I can find in there is "configedit"

                              46283e83-94ef-479c-80c4-514c0ad4e0d6-image.png

                              (206)

                              Edit my bad, re read the post and somehow missed the "emulationstation"
