      Hey all, just trying to fix some Bluetooth issues on my Raspberry Pi 3B. I’m using Retropie 4 and I found a solution, but need help replacing a command with another in the terminal. I need to edit two config files. Can someone help me with that?
      Here’s a link to what I’m doing:

      Thanks in advance!

        I guess once I open nano, I will be able to see the file and I’ll have the option to edit it. Correct?

          Hello,

          You can access the terminal by closing EmulationStation (start menu --> quit --> quit emulationstation). Once your stuff is done in terminal you can get back to emulationstation simply typing "emulationstation".
          You could also use ssh (ssh must be enabled from the raspi-config script).

          Once in the terminal, type

          nano /path/to/your/file/yourfile.cfg
          

          This will open the text editor, edit your file and press ctrl+o to save the file, and ctrl+x to exit nano.

              I was able to get into the editor and I made the changes that were suggested, but unfortunately my Bluetooth controllers are still not working. They worked a few years ago when I originally bought my pi. I guess I’ll keep digging around on the Internet.
