@sad_muso I would add, that it's better imho to edit the global file manually or via the RetroPie menu -> configuration editor (which has some of the settings but allows manual editing also) Reason being that saving out from retroarch saves every possible setting. All config file "comments" will be lost, and it's a lot of config entries. It won't be easy to know what you have changed if you ever need to check. But of course you can choose the method you prefer.

@roslof Did that, but nothing changed. I have no idea where else to look. Talk about frustrating.

Without seeing a log file - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - or the actual configuration file, it's difficult to say what is wrong. The default configuration file installed by RetroPie should always work (retroarch.cfg.rp-dist). Also, please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

system_directory should be "~/RetroPie/BIOS". I think it defaults to the current content dir (ROM folder) if not set.

@mitu Never used Reset, at least that I know of. But thanks for that tip. I'll be sure to avoid it.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Amiberry screen position: Done, works great! Thanks again for supoort @davidgrohl Great! I’m glad it helps.

@snock said in retroarch.cfg global and core.: So if the roms is executed, and automatically the retroarch.cfg of the specific system (turbografx cd) is modified and many configuration lines are added. That's because you've activated Save on Exit in RetroArch's RGUI for that system or maybe you've reset the configuration file from the RGUI - on exit, the simple retroarch.cfg for that system is overwritten by RetroArch.

@Thorr69 Sure is Ir-Fba Alpha, Ir-Nestopia, Ir- Snes9x 2010

That’s what I get for coding when tired! Thanks for the quick response. All is in fact working as intended... Thanks again

I have reset EmulationStation input configuration (Retropie Setup -> Configuration / tools -> emulationstation -> Clear / Reset Emulation Station input configuration), after all previous actions and everything now works as after fresh install.

Thanks @mitu .. Found at least one of those as well -- those are dating back quite some time, hence why I wanted to ask if was a possibility. Ill figure some workaround - -

@Clyde Thanks. And for anyone following up this question I was easily able to add audio volume control (via hotkey + D-pad up/down) to the config file mentioned earlier. Like this: input_volume_up_axis = ”” inside the quotation marks I copied the number for the up axis, which was -1 in my config file.

Just bumping my post. Still not sure what to do about the hotkey situation.

This guy here had the same problem and he found a way of making it work. Apparently the way to go is to configure retroarch to use a standard keyboard then swapping the real keyboard to the ipac. Over here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1722/if-you-have-purchased-an-ipac2-and-want-to-save-time

@Lugzyboy82 it should happend automaticly, once you configure the joysticks in emulationstation. i suggest you start by testing using jstest command, to see if the joysticks is reconized as gamepads or if it still thinks it is a keyboard.

@rkoster ty for tagging :)

@dankcushions Thank you for the reply. I figured it was something like that. What is the best way to delete all core overrides at once? Using the retoarch menu or by deleting a specific config file? Thanks for your help.
