      hi. First off i apologise for sounding stupid, I've been brought one of these for Xmas (v2.6.3rp) couldn't wait to play some of my childhood games. Couple of things i can't do. 1- monkey island 2 i can't work out how to make my wireless controller as the main control bit of a slow faff using the controller d pad for the mouse...
      2- championship manager is on more than 1 disc and can't work out how to load disc 2 or 3 😣 anyone with any instructions for someone with but much techno ability???

        Which system/emulator it's used ? The game might need a mouse/keyboard to play, not all games are suitable for playing with the controller.

        2- championship manager is on more than 1 disc and can't work out how to load disc 2 or 3 😣 anyone with any instructions for someone with but much techno ability???

        Is this a Playstation 1 game ? Then take a look at the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#disc-swapping-for-multi-disc-games-in-retroarch. You can access the RetroArch GUI, where the options described in the docs are present, by pressing Select + X while in game. Somethin like this:

          It sounds like you've bought a complete system.

          If this is the case and Retropie was preinstalled and configured (with or without games) you will be unlikely to get support here. I suggest in that case, go to the seller, as sale of Retropie as part of a system is not supported.

          If however you have installed your own system, you will find the first thing that it does is configure the controllers.

                  The seller should not be selling this and should offer their own support for such a product. If you want advice here then the best advice I can give is, if you have pc or Mac with an SD card reader, to follow the instructions in the docs to download and install the software properly onto an SD card and start again.
