      thanks @meleu
      now i deleted in order
      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.conf
      /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.conf
      /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.conf

      meme

      I didn't say to you delete these files!

      OK. Use retropie_setup and reinstall retroarch from binary to get back at least the ...all/retroarch.cfg file.

        But all these files had been auto-recreated after a reboot by retropie, should i reinstall retroarch anyway?
        mi /all/retroarch.cfg has been re-created and is full of instruction inside.
        Now all works except hotkeys

              @superdan oh... you use "save config on exit" turned on. It's a good way to go mad. :-)
              I suggest to use it turned off. To do so, you have to delete ...all/retroarch.cfg again and then rename that retroarch.cfg.rp-dist to retroarch.cfg.

                @meleu thanks

                here is the new version.

                /opt/retropie/configs//all/retroarch.cfg

                Do you think now is good?
                Thanks

                  Hello I am having trouble with my USB arcade sticks not being recognized by my new PI Zero. I plug them in and emulation station doesn't show any gamepad attached.

                  I built these arcades sticks myself using a PS3/PC ZERO DELAY USB ENCODER PCB as the input device and all of these arcade sticks work with my PI 2 for the last year.

                  All of my regular gamepad (Microsoft sidewinder a seem to work. Is it perhaps an issue with the retro pie image file for the zero not supporting these arcade stick devices? Or is it that this little device doesn't produce enough juice to power these larger controllers

                  Is there a possible fix?

                    @superdan you say if it's good. Are your hotkeys working fine?

                        @superdan you f+×%#ed up your configs while the "save config on exit" was on. I suggest you to rename the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist in your ...configs/fba/ directory to retroarch.cfg

                        Maybe it happened to several other files...
