Alternatively, if you have a way to SCP into the Pi, you can save the config after editing any settings in the emulator GUI, then just rename the new config file to “retroarch.cfg” through SCP. The default retroarch.cfg does not have the “save config on exit” option enabled, so it will unfortunately never save your settings unless you edit it manually or save a new config and rename it.

Just a warning, this method does NOT work for Final Fantasy VIII! The resulting .pbp is too big (2.06GB), apparently; it spits out a “Value too large for defined data type” error and exits back to ES without loading. Is there a workaround for this, or is it just impossible to run this game as a .pbp file on lr-PCSX-ReARMed?

I’m having the exact same problem, but with two of these controllers:

They work absolutely fine other than this one specific problem. This ONLY affects NES for some odd reason, as I’ve tested both controllers and identical configs for both SNES and Genesis/Megadrive emulators, and Player 2’s start button works just fine in those. For NES emulators, Player 1 works flawlessly, both select and start are fine. However, Player 2’s select and start buttons will not register during gameplay, no matter what. They can be bound in the RetroArch menu, the button press is recognized, but then fails to work in-game. Changing the buttons used for Player 2 select and start buttons doesn’t work (bound to L/R triggers, for instance), switching the controllers doesn’t fix it, resetting the config to default didn’t help, changing cores does nothing, and I even reimaged my microSD and started completely over, still doesn’t work. This is an extremely frustrating problem, as there’s seemingly no cause for it that could be attributed to user error. It’s some kind of as-of-yet unknown compatibility issue or bug in the software. If anyone has any idea what this could be, PLEASE help. I’m desperate and out of solutions.
