      I am currently working on a project for the kids. I am using retropi on a Ubuntu Machine. I am running the rom's for N64 using mupen64plus... but for the life of me I can not get any keyboard input to work other then the escape button. I have looked into the mupen64plus input config file(located @ /opt/retropie/configs/n64 and they are empty for players 1-4 . I am just trying to get the start button to work so i understand how to map the rest but I am unable to get anything to work . I am trying t o get the "a" key to map as the start button . I have tried Start = "key(SDLK_97)" Start = " key(97)" and quite a few others. Still with no luck . I get no response from anything other then escape. Can anyone help me out please. I can provide any more info if needed .

        Which configure file? The mupen configure "mupen64plus.cfg" or the autoconfig file "InputAutoCfg.ini"? I recently ran into same / similar. No matter how much I edited the mupen config controller sections no changes. Even if I set the controller to manual config but no luck. The global buttons like escape I could changes.

        I then found an old auto config file that had info for keyboard already setup. I copied this into the config folder and was good to go. Reading the wiki it made it sound like the auto config should be generated when you first start retropie, but I am guessing if you only config keyboard it might not.
