Configuration not sticking.

Marconemusic

@mitu The Pi is a raspberry Pi 3B+ with a 32 gig EVO samsung memory stick. 2.5 A Power Supply.

The build is 4.7.1 I used the imager (1.6.2).

I currently have 6 USB devices connected. .
2 Arcade Joysticks.
2 SNES game Pads
2 N64 Controllers (kiwitata)

Only having issues with the N64 Not keeping its settings.

Im also having trouble getting to the Verbose log. I cant get in to the folders from my computer, based on the directions in the helpfile. I can however do this in the Pi but how do i export the file for your viewing?

@marconemusic You can always "launch with verbose logging" from the "launch menu". Sorry, I don't know the official name, but it's where you can launch with different emulators, or launch with Netplay, or exit without launching. You can get to it by "spamming B after selecting the title in EmulationStation but before the title loads". (This all depends on how long you have the launch delay set for. I can just press B once during the default two second window.) Sorry it's not more technical. I think we're in RetroArch at this point (from the Netplay reference).

@iandaemon It seems the log folder is empty. I cant get this unit to press 'b' before loading unfortunately. Its just off. It does show that errors will be logged in the folder where the verbose log should be. bu thtat folder is empty in the pi... so no errors? dunno

Copy the file to your roms folder using the File Manager, then browse from the network your ROM folder and pick it up from there. Post the contents of the log file on pastebin.com.

@mitu Heya,
Found the file in the Pi, I had not enabled SSH yet, since the rebuild and this is why i couldnt get in to the unit.

Downloaded the file now. Will paste here. Log is tiny.

Thats it:

@marconemusic that's not a verbose log.

I cant get this unit to press 'b' before loading unfortunately.

You can press any key or button while the launch dialog is displayed or, if launch images are enabled, immediately after the image disappears, to access the runcommand launch menu. If that doesn't work, go to the RetroPie system in EmulationStation and select Run Command Configuration. Make sure Launch menu and Launch menu joystick control are both Enabled. (If you have a keyboard, you can leave menu joystick control disabled and just use any key on the keyboard to access the menu.)

@mitu any ideas?
I can always make it work by configuring the controller before each game, but it never saves.

mitu

@marconemusic You didn't provide a verbose log, as @sleve_mcdichael mentioned. No idea without it.

Marconemusic

@mitu I did above.
I pasted its contents above.
That is from the directions you asked for.

Did I miss something?

@marconemusic that's not a verbose log, which has to be triggered when launching via the runcommand - check the guidelines again https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging
