    echo "Looks like you don't have RetroPie-Setup scripts installed in the usual place. Aborting..." >&2
    exit 1

@edmaul69 are you sleepy? :)

you're using the root account!

@edmaul69 the installation method has changed. I think this is the reason of your confusion. Sorry abou that but some users were having problems with the previous one.

Please, follow the instructions here: https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/#installation

I won't change it anymore, I promise! ;-)

[edmaul69]

problem solved. if using the install guide on github you need to use sudo to not get this error.

@meleu i wasnt logged into root. i just looked for my retropie setup in the root folder under root as the joystick-selection.sh kept saying the retropie setup wasnt in the root folder. i deleted the joystick-selection.sh and that fixed the retropie setup. then i used sudo to get the joystick selection install to stop giving me the error on my first post. thank you for your help

Did you modify the default prompt then ? It really looks like you were root.
By default, a # at the end of the prompt is specific to root user. Normal users should have a $. Moreover the prompt indicates root@retropie.

pi@retropie:~ $

@Sano and pi before @retropie. :-)

@meleu I was precisely editing my message :)

[edmaul69]

@meleu @Sano i did that root thing just to look at the root folder after having problems. Everything before that was using user pi. The problem is this, if you try to run the joystick-selection following the guide, if you dont use sudo which the guide doesnt say to use, it dumps all that junk from my first post into the joystick-selection.sh which then makes the retropie-setup no longer work. The only way to get retropie-setup to work is to either delete the joystick-selection.sh or run the joystick-selection guides first command with sudo which then properly installs the joystick-selection.

@edmaul69 The guide to install my tool looks fine, I tested it before writing. But it changed recently and maybe you used the old method of installation and it caused the confusion.

The sudo is not needed to use install.sh, but I've just changed it to work fine if the user invoke it with sudo.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience. :-)

Cheers!

@meleu after i deleted the joystick-selection.sh which fixed retropie setup, i ran your first command from your github without sudo and it then gave me the same error as my first post. I then added sudo and it immedietly worked. So not sure why, if it is working without sudo for you.
