      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! ;-)

        Sorry for being such a pain in this thread.

        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"

                WTF!?!?!
                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.
