      Hello all,
      My controller is not working with mame4all. My keyboard does but I can’t set it in general input. I am using a RPI 3B+. Please help as soon as you can.

        As you can see there is much more to mention than "i have a pi3" ;)

            @szaheer27 just for interest: why are you using a very old version of retropie (4.1), we are at 4.8.1 now?
            Furthermore Mame4all is not the way to go for arcade (for a Pi2, Pi3 or Pi4), i highly recommend using lr-FBNEO and/or lr-MAME2016 or lr-MAME2003+.
            What do you mean by saying "no other one works"?
            What kind of errors do you get?
            Are you sure that you have the right romsets for the emulators you are trying to use?

              @sirhenrythe5th No worries, the issue was resolved as mame2003plus worked with all the games.
