Another couple of ssh options, assuming your Pi is networked:

From an android device, use JuiceSsh. This is an excellent remote shell tool, and free
From Windows, use PuTTY.

@Floob yeah - it was after the 1.3.6 release - when the next retroarch release is out I will do some testing etc. (well may test before, but it won't be enabled in retropie until after the point release).

So I was able to get my buddies RPi3 running RetroPie 4.0.2 this weekend, and after configuring one PS3 gamepad on the RPi, plugging in the second PS3 via USB worked flawlessly! All the issues I read about must have been regarding older distro versions of RetroPie. I was also able to get both gamepads working on the onboard Bluetooth of the RPi3! Thank you for the help @obsidianspider and @Lyle_JP!

@battlecat said in Config file creation:

Does this mean that if I need to reset the retroarch.cfg it too will reset to defaults if I remove it?

Your original post is about ...configs/all/retroarch.cfg. If you delete it, RetroArch won't create a new one for you.

If you don't believe me, you can test it and see. :D Rename retroarch.cfg to a different name and execute the emulator you want. Then look at your ...configs/all/ directory to see if there's a new retroarch.cfg there.

Be aware that if you delete/rename the retroarch.cfg, the RetroArch will use its own defaults (what is default in its source code), but not the RetroPie defaults. Do you get what I mean?

When you reinstall RetroArch, like I suggested in my first response, you get a brand new retroarch.cfg with some presets made for RetroPie using.

@rafaelramos using config_save_on_exit in RetroPie is a little confusing for the newcomers. Maybe this post can clarify something for you:

@dankcushions my rom is daredevil

@BuZz http://pastebin.com/rs1FP0Wb

@dankcushions yeah those settings are a good start. For both tv's i have hooked my pi to use -5 -5 -25 -25

Strangely, I have updated to 4.0.2 without any issues. All hot keys with Select button worked like a charm as before. How luckily I am!

@polishzeus at least you chose a controller worthy of being "the one"

It was love at first sight 😀

@mahcneto said in Mapping certain keys from Atari800 emu to the gamepad:

emus, is there any way to map certain keys to the gamepad since this console uses just 1 button for playing? These ones mostly:

This is a very old thread but I want to share somenthing that works well for me just in case someone else will find it useful.

I purchased a $16 3-Key USB keypad from amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P1GY3GN/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_H610W0ZBZ6DNXZSZESYK

I easily (30 second effort) programed the keys to F2, F3, F4 and it works perfectly!

If it is implemented someday it would be gentle to alert the user about sensitive data (TBH I can only remember retroachievements account data, nothing more).
