      input_save_state_btn = "h0right"
      input_load_state_btn = "h0left"
      input_state_slot_increase_btn = “5”
      input_state_slot_decrease_btn = “4”
      

      last two lines have the wrong type of double quote. should be the straight ones: "" not “”

        also we can't know if this configuration is correct without seeing the full config file for your nintendo controller found in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads

            I never changed my post, just copy and pasted my code! I don't even know how to get the slanted quotes!!! lol

            Hey, what forum code do you use to get the nice black box to put code in? (so I can start posting all fancy like that in the future ;)

              the thing i was quoting was your nes config. if it's still like that you'll want to fix it. if you edit files in some text editor on your computer they can automatically mess up the quotes like that without you doing anything. best to use notepad or something like that, or ideally edit it on the pi directly using nano.

                I use Adobe Dreamweaver on my Mac to edit code - even the stock text edit program (which is supposed to be TEXT only) sometimes rarely adds little things to code so I prefer to edit it in a program specifically made for editing code (don't like to use the built-in Linux editor, can't even drag and select text and simple tings like that).

                And thanks for the Markdown tutorial!

                  @Dochartaigh ok so how you do the code block is simple. So paste your info you need in code block. Make sure there is a blank line on top and bottom of the code. On each line (not ones that run over to the next line though) press spacebar 4 times so the line is indented 4 spaces. So here is an example of how you do it:
                  Code info here would be in code block if i put a blank line between this line and the line above it and indented these two sentences 4 spaces.
                  You dont put a blank line in between multiple lines of code block.

                  Now if you put four spaces at the beginning of line and a space in between it and normal text it will look like this:

                  Code info here would be in code block if i put a blank line between this line and the line above it. 
                  You dont put a blank line in between multiple lines of code block.

                    @edmaul69 you can just put ``` above and below the block of code - saves having to indent.

                        @edmaul69 at the top right of the box where you edit posts it has a link compose? which opens a popup which links to http://commonmark.org/help/ which has all the info :)
