      I was given a pi b (judging by picture) an old ps3 pad a 16gb sd card hdmi cable etc. I decided to use it all as a retro console. I worked out the bit to put on retropi. Plugged it all in booted up then made an hash of assigning buttons. I can't seem to do.much now I have a keyboard but it doesn't seem to do anything. I can navigate to an extent but as my A button hasn't been assigned I can't select anything...... anyone have ideas. Also I am not sure where Roms go especially as even though I used a large card now there isn't any space to put the roms. If you can help please keep.it simple as not only am I new but I'm very old too
      Thanks

        @andrew2010 re-do your controller setup and the button situation should be solved. You can do that any time you're in Emulationstation, by pressing start and choosing the input configuration.
        As for tansferring ROMs, please take a look at the documentation, it should cover your needs from start to finish.

          Thanks for prompt reply. There us a slight problem I can't seem to navigate any further than the main menu with the pad and not at all with the mini keyboard. I'll try again another day.

            Well I still can't do this. All I can do is mice up and down but can't enter any menus except the main one which works on the start button. How can I start all over again?
