    Hi folks sorry for posting but really need assistance

    just new the the raspberry pi scene and got myself the pi2 today
    i downloaded the retro pi2 image from the site and loaded it with the win32 disk imager for windows it loaded fine and goes to the emulationstation front end fine to configure controller

    i was reading that if you insert a memory stick it will auto create the folder list for you to load roms into it to play so have tried this but when i put it back into pc dont see anything

    also dont see any folder layout when i have the sd card back in pc to load them that way either

    can someone please assist me setting this up correctly

    ok this is escaping me now

    i downloaded the complete sd card image and loaded it in fine and i have roms in most of the folders

    but upon boot im stuck at the welcome screen

    i have configured my controller but nothing i do can get me past this screen

    any ideas as im really pulling my hair out now

    as the sd card image states its a complete no mess package and all you need to do is load roms to the folders

    i have and stuck here have tried pressing all buttons on gamepad and keybopard and get nothing

    can someone please help

    thanks for this also guys

    Try booting without the keyboard plugged in.
    You may also want to see if anything is written here:
    /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg

    hmm – if there is no es_input.cfg file I guess it hasnt registered it at all yet.
    Is there another controller you could try?
