@spruce_m00se for using tons of db9 controllers i recommend either a vision-daptor or ultimate pc interface (upci is 2player version. Has some other controllers the vision-adapter doesnt have. Both made by the same person.) The master system also has the two extra pins as functiong buttons. They match the same button numbers as start and mode button on the genesis mode. He added these so i could use my db9 modified nes and turbografx/pc engine controllers. He makes some other controller adapters too. His adapters truly are the best i have ever used.

I just got another switch which works, not sure how this one would

@Pixel0501 when you say "my" password, you aren't talking about your Mac OS password are you? The default password for retropie is ........ raspberry. Another question is have you logged in via ssh before? Because if you have and had to start over by reinstalling retropie, Mac OS has a security feature that keeps logs of MAC addresses and ssh keys, and when you try to log in again it will stop you since the new retropie install will not be using the same key. Mac OS tells you though and tells you what file you have to edit to remove that log.

@Wizardling Also a gold choice to change password. Annother solution is to use the import feature .... But use the hashed PW value instead.

Every hash consits of a HEX value. So it does not matter if you used special Characters.
