      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"
