      Is there a way to disable auto joypad setup when booting up? I have my joypads setup and want to be able to boot up the retropie without a joypad connected and not have the screen pop up that says no joypads are connected and to press a button to begin setup. I don't know a way to get rid of the screen without having a keyboard connected. Thanks for the help.

        That screen should never reappear after going through the process of setting up at least one controller device or keyboard. Have you done that yet?

          @philly4 yeah if you Go into the configure controller and use a keyboard and set it up as a controller, it wont pop up that screen again.

            @mediamogul Yes, I've set up 4 joypads. But I haven't set up a keyboard yet as a controller in emulation station. I'll try to set up a keyboard and see if that works.
