      Hello guys,

      My controller didn't work only in the Megadrive emulator. I did update RetroPie to the last version (4.0.1). So I went to check the retroarch.cfg file of the megadrive emulator and I found the problem. The file isn't like the config files of the other emulators instead I have this:

      http://pastebin.com/Db6mYNhT

      I removed all the code with exception of:

      input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/"
      include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

      As soon as I load a game it says "Saved new config to <DIRECTORY>".

      An another issue I have is that it automatically unzips the roms if I opened it via the emulator. For an example if I have:

      Some_Megadrive_Game.zip

      It unzips it and I have two files, the zip file and the file which was in the zip file.

      EDIT: I'm having this issue on lr-picodrive and lr-genesis-plus-gx.

        Remove the config file, update RetroPie-Setup, reinstall the megadrive emulator you are using from RetroPie-Setup.
