        @mitu Hi. About to follow your instructions. Do I replace the folder (delete the retroarch.cfg and create a new folder) or just rename the one that is there?

          @beezerhale Leave the folder alone, just rename the retroarch.cfg file and replace it with the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file which is in the same folder.

            @mitu Cool. Glad I checked. Thank you. But I do not see one that end with rp-dist. Here is what I am looking at: https://imgur.com/gallery/XMQkKJj

              @beezerhale Rename the .cfg file, then re-install the retroarch package from the RetroPie-Setup script, a new .cfg will be created.

                  @mitu I am in setup script now. Do I update from binary, source, or remove package?

                      @mitu Ok, done. Then it detected 2 gamepads and I just mapped gamepad 1. A quick test of 1942 worked just fine. I'll have time later today to make sure the 2 second gamepad is mapped correctly. I'll report back. Thank you so much again!
