      I started out using a keyboard as a controller, but today I bought a PS3 controller to use. When I start the retropie with the controller plugged in, it doesn't work because I need to set up the buttons. But I can't set up the buttons because I can't get to that screen. What do I do?

          @herb_fargus I actually don't have the keyboard anymore, and I won't be able to get it for the next two weeks. Is there another way? Could I use a different keyboard?
