      I play retropie games on my tv, but with some emulators like C64 u need a pc with a keyboard. So how do I configure it so it works with my SNES controller? Many thanks. 🙂

        You can map your SNES controller as a joystick in the settings menu, as detailed here. However, being a computer itself, there are still times that you'll need a keyboard when emulating the Commodore 64.

            @BatmanFanatic123 Buy a cheap USB keyboard. I think he meant that the C64 ia a computer, there are times you will need keyboard inputs, not just the limited amount you can map to the controller.

                    @BatmanFanatic123 I genuinely can't tell if you are trolling or not. You asked a similar question about the Atari 800. Buy USB keyboard. Plug usb cable into Pi USB port. You cannot use your computer as a direct input device for an emulator on the Pi.
