      Hi,

      I am a new user of RetroPie.

      I try to do an Arcade box from an old AIO Sony computer.

      Sony computer with Ubuntu 17.10.1 amd64
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.3.9
      Built From: online has explain here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/
      USB Devices connected: keyboard & 1 usb nes controler
      Controller used: 1 usb Nes controler
      Emulator: FB Alpha

      When I want to start a game, like Galaga, I can navigate in Retropie with my controler, click "A" to validate my choice, click "Select" to put credits, and "Start" to start the game.
      When the game start, I need to use my keyboard.
      If I use a game like "88 Games", I can see that my controler is see for the 2nd player.
      If I want to select "Input" to calibrate my input, it says that it detect 2 controllers.

      I don't find the same question in the forum

      Thanks for your help

        @bidulle What happens if you disconnect the keyboard ? Does the NES controller work for playing the game ?

          @mitu : As It's a AIO computer, it's impossible to sart without keyboard.

            @bidulle Try installing @meleu joystick selection tool and make the USB controller be the 1st in the list.
