      I would really like some help figuring out the issue with why the controller i have set up doesnt seem to work when i load a game. it works when im navigating the emulation station but as soon as i start a game it doesnt work. I binded everything correctly, and it seems that the pi is using my controller as the 2nd controller input while the keyboard is my first. The keyboard works in-game but not the controller.
      Ive looked everywhere for this and been working for hours. I read that you are supposed to press f1 and it gets to a menu, but that button doesnt work for me so I did select + X and got to this menu instead, is that the same menu? http://imgur.com/xOJg46u
      Also people said i should be accessing this folder /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/gamepad.cfg
      but i have no idea what it means to access it? do i taKe the sd card out of my pi put it in a reader and go through it on my computer? i really need this explained like im 5 step by step i would really appreciate it.
      the other easier problem i have an issue with is getting rid of this key overlay while im in game. shown here http://imgur.com/rk3suve

              you've added some sort of overlay when you were messing around in the menu. so, err. do the opposite of what you did..

                  yet you still changed them? :) there's a lesson in here somewhere.

                  I don't know where it is in the menu, but in your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg you want to ensure input_overlay_enable = false

                        @GadeEmbossed well it seems my issue wasnt the same as everyone else's with the controller issue, but I have this adapter USB to ps2 controller that i had plugged into my pi. the adapter has the option for using two controllers, so i just unplugged the controller from one port and plugged it into the other.
