Ok Thanks zSprawl
But is this the only way? I mean type in this huge command? There was this good and easy option before, why is it gone. I dont get it…

Good I will do it that way. Thanks again for your help.
Maybe someone will find the old option – I can’t still believe that they forgot it to put it in. ^^
It was so easy and perfect…

Strange.
When I Enter this last command :

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

It Says couldnt open Joystick 1.

And when I press F1 in any Emulator nothing happends either…

i have been trying to set up my controller for a few hours now and to no prevail, i was using a guide on the internet that i can only assume used an older version of retrobut apart from the many problems i have had while trying to set up my pi ican’t find any of the files mentioned such as /configs/all..i created one and put an apt file in but they weren’t there before, i can set up my controller to controll emulationstation menus but no further, meaning all the roms are installed and my pi all ready i just can’t play :'( HELP?

ok this did work but i have set the buttons up wrong, take 3 or maybe 4, yes im a tit

how can you exit an emulator in from the controller in retropie 2.2??? No one seems to be able to answer that :(

ok so I’ve followed your instructions to the letter i get couldn’t open joystick #0. also i cant seem to get it to find the roms there installed and ready.

G’day,

what i found was that its not saving the config file because i permisions?

i just started an emulator (e.g. SNES) pressed F1 to bring up the menu, went through the process of mapping the USB Gamepad, change the directory in with the config file got saved (e.g. to the Desktop) and hit save.
Then i exited Emulationstation (F4) booted into LXDE (startx) found the directory that retroarch.cfg was saved into (opt/retropie/emulators/all/) ? thats only a guess, im at work atm, so i cant remember the exact adrress , deleted it, and moved the saved config file from where i saved it (in this case the desktop) to where the old retroarch.cfg file was, and then renamed it to “retroarch.cfg” as it was something like “retroarch-07212014.cfg”

and that was it, rebooted back into Emulation station and all the controller config was saved and still working.

Thats how it worked for me anyways :-)

Forgot to mention that F4 does work for me. Just F1 does nothing what so ever.

Gracias. Toda esta información me fue útil. Pude configurar mi Joystick MaxFire Blaze3 correctamente, también la configuración de video. Y lo uso con un televisor. RCA obviamente. (Thanks, all the information here were really useful, i could correctly configure my MaxFire Blaze3 Gamepad, and the video settings too, and i’m using it with an RCA TV.

Hello,
everything works great. Thank you so far. But there is still one problem left:
On my wireless Xbox 360 controller is everything functional except the “START” Button. Everytime I use “START” the game ends (via console) and the emulations´menu is popping up. I´m also using an Alienware Gamepad which is working 100% fine. I used the configuration – with both of them – via sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh since the manual change didnt want to work.
Also every driver has been updated… It would be nice if the 360 Controller config could be fixed because “START” is still quite important :D
Thank you so far

What do you need that folder for? Are you trying to manually edit a file?
