To start off – I’m definitely a noob with the pi so please bear with me.
After a few tries, I finally got RetroPie working and was able to configure my joystick (Sabrent 12 button: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AEWTSWU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I used retropie_setup.sh to configure the joystick.
I even got to the point of playing Super Mario World but wasn’t able to save my progress (thinking the select button wasn’t working). I then tried Super Metroid and was able to confirm select worked and was able to save progress.
Was feeling really good until I rebooted. Once I rebooted and emulationstation loaded the joystick was no longer configured except for the start button and a page down button (or maybe “end” button – all I know is it moves me to the bottom of a list which allows me to cancel out of emulationsttion). And the keyboard wasn’t configured at all. I’ve tried retropie_setup.sh again to no avail.
Any thoughts? I’d hate to start all over. Thanks!
