The configuration of the ControlBlock driver does not have an influence on this. Sounds as if the switch is wired backwards.

Nice - thank you Petrtopie

@Lyle_JP I'll have you give that a try - I've been using Picodrive since RetroPie 2...

Did you enable the root account and login as root ?

You should install from the "pi" user

It would be easier to do a fresh install than debugging this imho, as you will want to reinstall from the correct user.

+1 for the overscan issue. I have one television that I need to adjust the overscan manually in the /boot/config.txt file, but another television that I don't need to adjust the overscan at all. In the same config.txt file you can adjust the amount of overscan.

I had the same problem - controls working in every other emulator except SNES. I checked the config folder for SNES and 1 of the CFG files (not sure if it was emulators or retroarch) was 0 KB - I deleted it reboot the pi and it remade a new CFG file - hey presto controls now working. :-)

Delete the gameboy retroarch.cfg file, update to the last Retropie script, and reinstall the emulator.

If you delete the joystick cfg files, it would probably recreate them after you go into the RetroPie menu and configure inputs again.

After that, get to the terminal (press Esc on your keyboard), then type the following commands,

cd /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ ls

There should only be a couple of files in there, look for something with logitech or rumblepad in the name and:

sudo nano YourFileNameHere.cfg

Look for these lines:

input_enable_hotkey_btn input_exit_emulator_btn

If you don't have those lines, add them somewhere towards the bottom.

Mine is listed as:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6" input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"

This means, my enable hotkey button (tells the Pi you're going to issue a command that isn't related to the game itself) is the "Select" key (or better yet the "Back" key because I'm using a Logitech F710)

And the command button is the "Start" key. Now I can hold down "Back" and press "Start" to get back to the main menu.

This page should be a little more descriptive if you need a hand: RetroPie Wiki -> Logitech controllers

...fresh ROM for AstronBelt has it working better. Enemy craft shooting again, collision detect working. Only bad thing is that when the "disc" is changing scene I often get a flash of an explosion out of context for what's happening in the game. I tried deleting the DAT file and re-parsing the files but no joy. If anyone has any experience of this and fixing it, I'd appreciate any pointers.

Strangely Galaxy Ranger seems spot on.
