@bshogeman said in Hotkeys such as select+start don't work any more.:

I must not touch the menu item retropie -> retroarch. Don't update anything within that app.

To be more precise about the danger of this "app": Do NOT enable "Save Configuration on Exit".

Can anyone tell me what files to delete, replace, recover to fix this problem without reinstalling everything again?

Look for the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist files and replace the retroarch.cfg files with those.

Example:

mv /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg mv /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg mv /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg # repeat it for other systems

More info about this kind of issue here and here.

@gautchh Attach and config a keyboard in ES, go into the emulator of your choice and enter the rgui menu. There you can navigate to Settings, Input and configure your controller. Make sure the right controller-device is selected and try bind all.

If your controllername does not show up increase the number of players (or devices) under Input and try again.

Another way to get your controller working properly is using xboxdrv, which emulates an xbox controller and makes mapping it in games easier.

yes you can. Go to the retro pie menu, then configuration editor. from there go to advanced configuration, configure libretro options, then psx/retroarch.cfg. From there look for game_specific_options and set to true. Back out and when you go to the options where you set analog or not, there will be a new option on top to save that config for that one game. So you can set the games that need standard and save just that config for them or visa versa
