      I deleted the three files in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ and it's back to working again.

      Sorry for being such a pain in this thread.

        I was playing Super Mario Bro.s 1 for NES and wanted to change the B and A buttons to Y and B.

        Dude! Don't do it using the Input Binds!! It has the side effect to mess up your hotkeys binds for the NES.

        Use what is explained here instead:
        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#core-input-remapping

        Besides the hotkeys advantage, it has the another huge advantage: you don't need to set config_save_on_exit to true to make it work! ;-)

          I will forgive you. But in return you have to change this thread title to something like "[SOLVED] messed my RetroArch joypad configs"?
          :D

          Cheers!

            Sorry again.

            I have a new problem now.

            I can no longer change the default emulator for Super Nintendo.

            When the screen shows up and says to press a button to edit the default configuration, nothing happens.

            I don't understand.

            All of my buttons work both in EmulationStation as well as in game.

            I would really love to problem solve this by the end of the day here soon.

            Oh, and how can I change the title of the thread to [SOLVED] once I get this last issues figured out?

              fair enough... let's try to solve it too. But the current title is a little nonsense. :-)

              When the screen shows up and says to press a button to edit the default configuration, nothing happens.

              Did you change some runcommand config? Maybe "launch menu art"...
              https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand#configuring-runcommand

              Can you paste here the output of this command?:

              cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand.cfg

                Sure.

                I also noticed that if I fire up an Arcade game, and I'm prompted to select a core emulator in the menu, nothing happens on screen, none of my buttons work there either and I'm forced to hard reset my Raspberry.

                Here's my current config file:

                use_art="0"
                disable_joystick="1"
                governor=""
                disable_menu="0"

                  LOL

                  I asked for runcommand.cfg!

                  edit: please, edit your post and delete all that retroarch.cfg content! ;-)

                      I remembered another thing that might be causing this: the button to be pressed must be on the first detected joystick on the system, usually the /dev/input/js0. If you are pressing the button on other device, it won't invoke the runcommand menu dialog.

                        I currently just have one SNES controller connected to my Pie and I don't believe I've ever used a second one with it yet.

                          @Addison Well, I'm still waiting the output of this command:

                          cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand.cfg
                          

                          runcommand.cfg !!!

                          :-)

                              I changed that long post quite some time ago and replaced it with the runcommand file.

                              It shows the changes on my end. Sorry.

                              Anyway, here it is again:

                              use_art="0"
                              disable_joystick="1"
                              governor=""
                              disable_menu="0"

                                @Addison didn't updated here... But let's go!

                                disable_joystick="1"
                                

                                TADA! Here is the problem!

                                Read this wiki page:
                                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand#configuring-runcommand
                                and change the "Launch Menu Joystick Control" to "Enabled". ;-)

                                  There is an issue with the forum that edits are not always visible to other users right away - I will report it upstream when I have a free moment.

                                        I also changed that as well about 5 minutes ago.

                                        Sorry that it has yet to show up on your end but it will eventually.
