@mediamogul Ok, yes thats actually what I tried this morning. I removed the keyboard then did the controller remap in the EmulationStation GUI. At that point I was able to launch, play, and exit games with the controller, but save and load state functions did not work. I wouldn't be surprised if other functions are missing as well that I just haven't tried yet. As it stands now it will function well enough for me to have a quick game now and then until I get around to doing a rebuild with a more recent version, though having the save and load state functionality back would pretty much solve my issue. Also thinking about deleting the config file and seeing if a new one is generated on reboot, think I heard somewhere that it is. If I brick the install its not a huge loss, as I can just reimage the card.

@meleu you can adjust the codes that get sent - means customising the scripts though.

eg. line 116 of runcommand.sh

from

"$ROOTDIR/supplementary/runcommand/joy2key.py" "$JOY2KEY_DEV" kcub1 kcuf1 kcuu1 kcud1 0x0a 0x09 &

to

"$ROOTDIR/supplementary/runcommand/joy2key.py" "$JOY2KEY_DEV" kcub1 kcuf1 kcuu1 kcud1 0x0a 0x09 0x0a 0x0a 0x0a &

would assign 0x0a (enter) to buttons 2, 3 and 4 in addition to the existing mapping.

@markyh444 First, let me apologize if I came off as needy or rude. I was having trouble locating the information I wanted, or had trouble understanding it I guess would be a better way of putting it.

Secondly, I would like to thank you for all of your advice and assistance. I think I finally figured out what I am doing. Turns out I understand things when I see it on my Windows desktop and just needed to edit information there instead of trying to do it on the Retropie (not sure if that makes sense).

Lastly, I want to say that I FINALLY got the buttons mapped how I wanted them in N64 and this also gives me information on how to do it in other emulators should I choose to do so.

Thanks a lot for sticking with me!
