@demodairy Can you post the exact error here?

@rgs80074 It sounds like you are looking for a better scraper (for box art and potentially videos) and shaders (to take care of pixilating). Both are available.

@mwebster don't pay someone for something that is free, there is no sense of accomplishment in that.

Also https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Though based on what your saying id recommend checking the docs out for the proper files required for the emulators you are trying to play

@fongmac You can try this tool and see what happens: https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

Also pay attention at that message on top of every page of this forum. You should give more info on your post.
