      @briandamico /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/ . Then find the config for your wii controller.

          @briandamico this is the only change i would make.

          Default values are 2 for Joystick 0, and 0 for Joystick 1
          Joystick 0	=	1
          Joystick 1	=	0

            @briandamico also you can exit the game by pressing your + & - buttons at the same time.

                    @edmaul69 ok i changed that small piece and neither the controller or the + and - to exit worked

                    was i suppose to input the wii controller mapping into the configuration file?

                      @briandamico ok. It is possible your controller isnt recognized as controller 1. You can run a jstest or set up your wii controller in emulationstation and see which controller it is. In jstest it should be js0 and in emulationstation it will say gamepad 1. It is possible your adb adapter is seen as a joystick as well. If you set up your controller in emulationstation it will say how many gamepads are detected. If there is more than one you might have to change the joyindex in the linapple.conf so this:

                      Joy0Index	=	0
                      Joy1Index	=	1
                      

                      Will need to be changed to this:

                      Joy0Index	=	1
                      Joy1Index	=	0
                      

                      If you have more controllers, that might need to change.

                        @briandamico also did you make the change i told you previously to make? Default was 2 and i told you to change to 1. If it doesnt work on 1 then change it to 2 and try. 2 doesnt work at all for me.

                          @edmaul69 hey ed

                          i did make that original change and there was no affect what so ever. nor did the keyboard respond to + and - as exiting via the keyboard

                          in emulation station the wii is there as a controller/gamepad and thats how i set it up too.
                          i have a nes controller in my usb 1 and the wii U as my wireless and emulation shows 2 controllers.

                          so you suggest i make that joyIindex change again?

                            @briandamico yes if you have two controllers you will need to change the joyindex. Nes is probably joy 0 and wiiu is joy1. Make sure you are in the linapple.conf in the configs folder and not the emulators folder.

                            Thes e settings should look like this i believe.

                            Default values are 2 for Joystick 0, and 0 for Joystick 1
                            Joystick 0	=	1
                            Joystick 1	=	0
                            

                            And this one says which controller is player 1 and two. Since the nes controller is in usb0 it is probably joy0. And so that one is set to player 2 (joyindex1)

                            Joy0Index	=	1
                            Joy1Index	=	0

                              @edmaul69 ok so if this does indeed work, what to do about exiting the games? since the keyboard is in the 2nd usb slot and the + and - did not work what would you suggest?

                                    @briandamico when you go to set up a controller in emulationstation, how many controllers does it say it detected?

                                      @edmaul69 hey ed!

                                      ok those changes worked for sure!
                                      I have control via the joystick pad on my Wii U controller and also start select works to exit!!
                                      much thanks for that

                                      i got a small glimpse of playing some games now :)

                                      ok so now that thats working, i was wondering if you know about when a game asks to flip to next disk, i had assumed to just exit game, go find side b or disk 2,3 etc... and load it.

                                      but it comes up with an error "This Disk has NO DOS to BOOT. Insert Another Disk and Press A KEY to Reboot."

                                      any thoughts?

                                        @briandamico you need the f keys so you can load the next disk into drive b.

                                            @edmaul69 ok keyboard is here!!! with two broken keys of course in transit. replacements on the way but was just the caps lock and some other random key.

                                            SO, where were we? if i open a game , lets say disc A, or disk/image 1 whatever they are labeled as, when a game prompts me to flip dicks or insert next whatever, what F key should i be using and what are the best steps?

                                            is this step process to take me to find the actual disk B/next disk in my games list?
