      @simonster I tried Hotkey+Start, but that didn't work. I will try to remake the configs when i get the chance. I'm not able to use the image though because I am using the Pi for other projects and I don't have a spare SD card, but thanks for the help regardless.

        Fair enough, you could always try the other way around. Install the official image and the add Pixel from the optional components. From there you have both Retropie and access to the Raspbian desktop environment.

          Okay, I deleted keymaps and remade them in emulation station, now the keyboard works but the controllers still don't work. I checked for programs running on startup but couldn't find anything that might interfere with controllers.

                @bengdahl I think your issue is to do with the fact that you are powering the Pi with a phone charger. You need at least 2.5A for a Pi 3 with peripherals added. Phone chargers aren't designed to power. It may work it may not. What is it rated at?

                  Hi, you seem to have a very odd retroarch.cfg. Every controller map is set to nul

                  Do you have a retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file in the same folder? If so rename your existing config and copy the rp-dist file to retroarch.cfg. and try again.

                    The controller configs are placed in a different folder, here's my X360 config:

                        @bengdahl you need a minimum of 2.5A for correct operation.

                          @bengdahl Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the exact same problem.
