Can only press "a" to enter Runcommand menu one time per boot
-
I just started with RetroPie 4 days ago, and have reinstalled it 5 times so far. Every time I have a different problem, which is weird as I haven't really done all that much. On this current install I have installed Kodi, Desmume, Iceweasel (which CANNOT play Netflix), FreeCiv, and Quake 3. I've solved a lot of problems on this install and I'm really loathe to reinstall and do it all over again after having wasted so many free days on this.
My problem is very simple. I boot, go to any game, run it, and press "a" to enter runcommand. Then I launch the game, exist, and try to repeat. However, on repeat pressing "a" does nothing and it boots to the game. It doesn't matter which game I try first or second, the first one always works and the second one always doesn't. This always worked in every previous attempt up until now, both in this install and previous installs.
I want to add that I've read you are supposed to press '0', but I think this is probably someone's imagination or something, because I was told to press 'a', and 'a' is what works on my keyboard.

Attachment of config files: I do not know which ones you want, but let me know specifically and I will provide them. Possibly worth noting I am using overclock settings in config.txt, but that is not what caused the problem (at least, it was working afterward, until last night).How to replicate the problem: I am not sure how another person could replicate the problem.

@rrdein a isnt correct. It says press a button not the a button. You need to press whatever button is button 0 on your controller and x is the correct button on the keyboard. It may have changed adding other buttons on the keyboard but x should work correctly.
-
Dude I don't know what to tell you, but I have a Rii controller and a Logitech K400r, and the correct input is "a" on both keyboards. 0 does not work. These are standard keyboard layouts. "a" works, and "0" does not, so that is clearly not the solution. I cannot account for any different impressions other people have of what the key should be, but the correct key on both of my keyboards is "a", and it only works once, as described in the OP.
-
So, I want to be real clear on this. The correct key for both of my keyboards is "a". If someone wants to go around saying the Pi interprets this is a zero or something that is fine by me. I've tried it with "0" and it has never ever worked. On my system it is "a". This is not relevant to the problem. My problem is that, after entering runcommand once, I am not able to enter it again without rebooting. I am hoping that there is someone who understands runcommand enough to advise me on why this is happening. Anyone who reads the OP can see that my problem is not one of "pushing the wrong button".
-
@rrdein no. 0 works fine - it responds to any normal keyboard character press.
Please use a standard RetroPie image rather than the BerryBoot images - There are various problems using berryboot and the images are not supported. eg for example the screen blanker kicking in.
-
This reminded me a video @obsidianspider posted recently:
-
Ok so, I guess I was wrong and 0 does work (as well as "a"). My problem is the same though. So there's no way to diagnose this, I just have to try another image? What would you tell me to try if I wasn't using Berryboot?

Not sure I like that attitude.
I would help debug it - I want to rule out something related to Berryboot first.
-
I'm downloading the image, but once I install it the opportunity to diagnose the issue is gone, because the Berryboot rom does not have this issue out of the box.
-
@rrdein I won't diagnose it on Berryboot - I don't want to support it. It says that on the Download page. The Berryboot images were provided on request, but it's not something I support directly.
I cannot reproduce your set-up on Berryboot to verify an issue. I don't use it and don't have it set up. Also since berryboot shares a Kernel between the various OSes it makes it harder to replicate an issue than on a set RetroPie image.
If this is a problem, I am happy to leave this and help other users instead.

I understand, thank you. Sorry for being rude.
