Alrighty lads, I think I might’ve screwed to ole pooch here big time. Here’s the info:
Pi Model: 2 B
RetroPie Version Used: 3.0.0 Beta 2
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: Logitech Keyboard
Controller used: RETROLINK Classic Controller SNES style
Guide used: the ones on the wiki first install page
ISSUE: I got everything up and running fine, loaded my ROM library, games showed up, everything was going swimmingly. I could navigate emulationstation easily and fully. Went to SNES emulator and launched Super Mario AllStars without a hitch. Up to this point I could operate in retroarch, it seemed, perfectly. Hit 1 Player start, game started. Here’s where my first issue showed up. I couldn’t run. More blatantly, my X and Y buttons weren’t working, but everything else was. Okay, no biggie. Went and watched Floob’s guide. Here’s where the proverbial sh!t went sour. I got into the USBgamepad.cfg and it was blank, which was odd because the controller had just been working, at least halfway. Alright, whatever, I’ll just input it all manually. But I couldn’t find the # key on my keyboard, instead shift+3 made the monetary pound sign. Hit every key I could, still couldn’t find it, so I typed it up without the # in there. Saved to the file. Now my controller doesn’t respond at all in retroarch. EmulationStation is still on point, but I get nada in game. Every time I jump back into the config files i get more confused and feels like I’m just spiraling further down the rabbit hole. To make matters worse, i went back to USBgamepad.cfg, and a whole lot of stuff came up, now I’m completely lost and could really use some help. I’d rather not do a clean install, because I feel like i’d end up in the same place I’m in now without a little more clarification. Any help is appreciated. Thanks ~ALob
