[sn00wman86]

When i test it everyting works but cant not sve :(

Make sure /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg exists then type this:

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

And try joypad config again

[sn00wman86]

how do i write to come to /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg right now i am in pi@raspberrypi ~$

Write like you do to a noob. never work with dos or what it call :P

[sn00wman86]

and i write like this in the file # cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/ ? Is it some special place i need to write it on ?

[trimmtrabb]

yes just type it in the terminal after pi@raspberrypi ~$

[sn00wman86]

so in pi@raspberrypi ~$ i type /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and ENTER to see if it exists and after in the file i type:

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

and save and after try the controll ?

But what do i do if that file not exist ? :S

[sn00wman86]

When i write: /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
in pi@raspberrypi ~$’
I get a messenger like :
-bash: /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg: Permission denied

[trimmtrabb]

to create retroarch.cfg type in terminal (after pi@raspberrypi ~$):

nano /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Then press ctrl x and save. Then type:

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

then run joypad config again

[sn00wman86]

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

Is it Space between xml and /home ?

[trimmtrabb]

yes

[sn00wman86]

I get [ Error Writing /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg: No such file or directory ] when i save it ^^ So guess i have no Permission so save it ^^

[trimmtrabb]

you get that error after running joypad config?

[sn00wman86]

after i have write it on the doc. and try to save it. that say like i write.

[trimmtrabb]

you need to place a retroarch.cfg in /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Use nano:

nano /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Type a random character and ctrl x and press y to save.

[sn00wman86]

So now i have make a new directory <strong (/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/)

Have Create retroarch.cfg and have write # cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

And I press ctrl + X to save it and the program ask my if i want to save it and i press Y and after that i get a messenger like this: [ Error writing /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg: Permission Denied

Okey Now i have fix so i can save it. and after i save and reboot the system i try to config the controll but i get Script Error!!!

[trimmtrabb]

Ok I have no idea why this isn’t working, the other way to set your pad up is to edit retroarch.cfg manually.

See this thread for instructions: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/input-configuration-script-fails-bindings-are-off/

[sn00wman86]

ok :) Thanks :) I have reinstall Retropie know so will put that inside :)

And everything i not find in the lite i add to it ?

like this for a exemple :
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = “-3”

only find without _axis in the list.

input_player1_l_x_plus

This have i done now.
1. cd RetroPie-Setup and go to sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
2. Take Choose 2. Source-based INSTALLATION (16-20 hours)
3. Choose 4. UPDATE RetroPie Setup script
4. Go in to Choose 3. SETUP.
5. Choose 16. Install drivers for Xbox3600 Wired Controll
6. Choose 19. Register Controll for RetroArch emulation

And i Reboot some times from 1 – 6. After all this was finnish I Config the control for the Emulationstation Meny, and it’s working.

And next step i did was go to Input Configuration in emulationstation. And set all keys and this time i can save the the keys i choose with the Xbox360 Controll. and after I have save it I Exit. And reboot. and after that i try to start Snes Emulation. But when i start a game only the keyboard works not the Xbox360 Control.

Can i use that instructions for this problems to or do i need some other instructions?

Unzip and place this retroarch.cfg I have attached in /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/

To do this:

Download Filezilla: https://filezilla-project.org/

Connect your Pi to your network via ethernet. In terminal on Pi type: sudo ifconfig

Note the IP address of the Pi starting 192.168 after ‘inet addr’

Open Filezilla, in top left box ‘host’ type the IP address you just noted.
Then in ‘username’ box type pi
In ‘password’ box type raspberry
In ‘port’ box type 22

Press ‘quickconnect’
In ‘remote site’ box on right side navigate to: home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/

Drag the retroarch.cfg into the ‘remote site’ box to copy over.

Start your emulator and the controls should work, they’re set up for a xbox 360 pad. If they don’t work run:

nano /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

and change input_player1_joypad_index = “0” to input_player1_joypad_index = “1” (or possibly 2)

You can also modify the controls if you wish by changing the button numbers.

I have set the ‘hotkey’ button to the ‘back’ button on the pad. This means that if you press the back button and specific buttons you can access different options:

back & start = emulator exit
back & home button = Retroarch GUI (useful for setting frameskip)
back & left shoulder button = load save file
back & right shoulder button = save file
back & left trigger = select save state decrease
back & right trigger = select save state increase

Hope this helps
