      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.

            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!

            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?

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

                          Closest I can find in there is "configedit"

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