      @squirrelraccoon Good to hear that you've solved your problem.

      Nobody here (of consequence) will hold your inexperience against you. It's just that most beginners' answers are already covered in the very comprehensive documentation of this site. In your case, the link that @dankcushions gave you leads to a page with a section called "Boot to EmulationStation“ which for its part links to the FAQ with exactly the instructions you ultimately needed.

      A typical approach of many veterans not only in this community is to help others at helping themselves by pointing them in the right direction, but at the same time expecting them to do the (usually manageble) learning by themselves.

      Just trying to calm the waves a little. Welcome to this forum, and have fun with RetroPie. 😁

      (@dankcushions beat me about his link while I was typing this.)

      @BuZz I Flashed another SD card that i had when i first got my switch, I mounted the image on the "new" sd card with the latest image 4.6 of retro pie and i do have the ability to use controls, so now all i have to do is import files from the other card.

      If the controllers are wireless then they probably go to sleep and don't send any button presses to the Pi. If the Pi goes to sleep the controllers won't wake it up.

      A Raspberry Pi Zero doesn't have a WiFi NIC, so not being able to connect to WiFi is the expected result.
      Only Pi Zero W and Pi Zero WH have WiFi NICs.

      @lonelik said in Can you naviguate in retropie shell menus with a joystick ?:

      Maybe the keyboard is my js0...

      You can check which device is mapped to js0 with this command in Retropies text console that you land in after pressing F4 in Emulation Station:

      jstest /dev/input/js0

      Ctrl + c aborts jstest.

      Alternatively, this should list all input devices of the system:

      (I say "should", because I am not at home at the moment and can't test the command on my own Retropie. It works on my Laptop's Kubuntu Linux, though.)

      less /proc/bus/input/devices

      You can browse the list with your cursor keys or PgUp/PgDown. Exit the browser with Ctrl + c.

      You get back to Emulation Station with the command exit.

      I updated installed packages / kernel in hopes of fixing the issue. No devices were detected even with a cold 4.1 install.
