      Using RetroPie v4.1 on Raspberry 3

      Hello - first time user of Raspberry & Retropie. I just setup the device today and was able to configure the controller & a keyboard going into EmulatorStation. Once I selected a game, the configuration would go away for both the Controller & Keyboard essentially freezing the system and requiring a restart. I have searched through all of the commentary as well as YouTube videos and cannot seem to find a solution. I have not been able to determine what, if any, options I should select differently in the Main Menu or other options.

      Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

          Please let me know if this is enough information -- as mentioned, super new to this...

          Pi Model: v 3
          RetroPie Version Used: v4.1
          Built From: downloaded file from retropie site and followed instructions to extract with 7-zip and used Win32DiskImager
          USB Devices connected: tried once with just the USB SNES style controller RetroLink and once with both Controller and Keyboard (logitech k400)
          Controller used: same as above
          Error messages received: no error messages, it just loses controller mapping and essentially requires a reboot
          Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):
          Guide used: many different online guides tried / youtube videos / this forum /
          File:
          Emulator: Tried with NES / SNES / Genesis
          Attachment of config files: how do i copy these out of the device?

          Thank you again!
