      @Stag I think your problem is that you added something in /etc/rc.local that prevents the startup - what's the content of said file ? Are you automatically logged in after you re-add the auto-login with raspi-config ?

        Here`s the content:

        #!/bin/sh -e

        rc.local

        This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.

        Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other

        value on error.

        In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution

        bits.

        By default this script does nothing.

        Print the IP address

        _IP=$(hostname -I) || true
        if [ "$_IP" ]; then
        printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
        fi

        "/opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv" --daemon --detach --dbus disabled --detach-kernel-driver --id 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent --trigger-as-button --next-controller --id 1 --led 3 --deadzone 4000 --silent --trigger-as-button --next-controller --id 2 --led 4 --deadzone 4000 --silent --trigger-as-button --next-controller --id 3 --led 5 --deadzone 4000 --silent --trigger-as-button
        exit 0

        Still can`t get the pi to autoboot

          @mitu,

          Also, my controller's running again- thanks for that! But i can't use the start button to get in gui and re-configure.

            @Stag Delete the line with the xboxdrv - did you uninstall the driver from the setup ?

              I did indeed- that worked. I deleted the xboxdriver line and no error anymore. But still no autoboot.
              New amazing problem is, when i go into emulation station and with my controller to the retropie menu- there are scrambled pieces of text (and pictures of joypads missing with neo geo and such) and when I select raspi-config the menu pops into cmd.

                @Stag Sounds like some of your 'fixes' have messed up your system.

                  Guess so- is there any major sweep I can do like a big uninstall instead of re-installing retropie on the sd card?

                    @Stag Flash the card again, save your ROMs before.

                      Ok copy that.
                      Ill try some other stuff since I got nothing to lose here- and if no succes Ill flash the card again.

                      Thanks for your help so far!

                        One last tip for people who have messed up controls and can`t get them to change:
                        when you got to: sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
                        via cmd then --> configuration/tools --> emulationstation --> clear/reset emulation station configuration - you can reset the controller and do a new configuration at the start of emu station.

                          I`ve managed to fix the boot issue by going into emustation and change the boot options from there. This was only possible by fixing the controller issue first.

                          Now, only thing left to do is- get the ps1 graphics smooth again (suddenly back to basic and in game tweaking of video options not working), get the best video options going for n64, fix the missing theme/picture problem.

                          Sorry to go off topic- do you know of a way to get the open gl driver running? It seems incompatible with retropie and gives boot problems.
                          Or is this not a good idea?

                              The OpenGL driver is not compatible with RetroPie.
