@Vliro If you disable the xpad driver in RetroPie you get the kernel xpad driver, which is the same between RetroPie and Raspbian (RetroPie images are Raspbian).

In what way is your solution better than using the RetroArch GUI?

Now I'm at my laptop and I'm able (have patience) to type better than on my Android phone...

My solution pleases my own taste because when using RGUI RetroArch dumps the current status of every single option of the running instance in the retroarch.cfg, overwriting the previous content. All those useful comments explaining what the options do will disappear.

We all know that RetroArch documentation is very scarce and scattered. I think that the retroarch.cfg skeleton is a good resource of information about the RetroArch options.
