      Pi4, USB controller + keyboard.

      How on earth do I get past the game splash screen? For example, I'm running Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum48 and no matter what I press on the controller or keyboard I can't get past the original hackers screen?

      Something like this should be so simple, it probably is.

      Am tearing my hair out - sorry for the short question but am at the stage of dumping retropie (again) because the simplest things aren't simple.

        @mxlothar by splash screen I assume you mean the title screen? I've always had issues with using controls on spectrum games. You'll need to go to retroarch menu (hotkey + X ) then go to inputs and change it to whatever suits the game. You'll be given a few options such as Kempston Joystick and Spectrum Keyboard etc. Try Kempston first then go back and see if anything works. One of the options should let you play with your controller. Good luck!
