      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

          @meleu sure here it is

          ls /opt/retropie/configs/all

          autoconf.cfg joystick-selection.cfg runcommand.cfg
          autostart.sh retroarch.cfg runcommand-launch-dialog.cfg
          content_history.lpl retroarch.cfg.rp-dist runcommand-onstart.sh
          emulationstation retroarch-core-options.cfg
          emulators.cfg retroarch-joypads

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

          my joy settings in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/DragonRiseInc.GenericUSBJoystick.cfg

          input_device = "DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick "

          input_l_btn = "8"
          input_load_state_btn = "8"

            @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?

                  @adafruitfly your problem deserve its own thread. Please, start a new one.

                      @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...
