Nope. Still have to press the load button twice. I just keep everything on. It’s annoying, and frustrating, but I’ve learn to live with it.

Just did.

Awesome! So a few of questions for clarification.

1. Do you use a PS2 keyboard plugged into the XArcade, and the XArcade is still plugged in via USB?

2. I only need to use the items in quotations, and not the, for example, ETROK_RSHIFT. Also, you still use the quotations ie. “rshift” instead of rshift in the code? So it would be: input_player1_b = “rshift”

3. When you mapped your buttons on the XArcade, did you only map them to the above list only? or did you still use buttons like “c” or “z”

4. Did you need to change any of the keyboard settings in sudo raspi-config or where defaults ok?

I can’t wait to get back home tonight and give it another whirl!

Wow, thanks for getting back with me. Keyboard and XArcade are hooked up via USB. I tried just having the XArcade plugged in so it didn’t think it had two keyboards attached. Still no luck. I know the XArcade is at least working to some extent. I can use it to type in terminal and certain buttons will speed up NES and SNES emulators, and put it in slow motion. But mapping it out seems to do nothing. Here are the relevant lines in retropie.cfg

# Keyboard input. Will recognize normal keypresses and special keys like “left”, “right”, and so on.
# Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the “nul” bind, which disables the bind completely,
# rather than relying on a default.
input_player1_a = “z”
input_player1_b = “lshift”
input_player1_y = “lctl”
input_player1_x = “lalt”
input_player1_start = “keypad5”
input_player1_select = “c”
input_player1_l = “space”
input_player1_r = “x”
input_player1_left = “keypad4”
input_player1_right = “keypad6”
input_player1_up = “keypad8”
input_player1_down = “keypad2”
# input_player1_l2 =
# input_player1_r2 =
# input_player1_l3 =
# input_player1_r3 =

input_player2_a = “w”
input_player2_b = “e”
input_player2_y = “a”
input_player2_x = “s”
input_player2_start = “num6”
input_player2_select = “]”
input_player2_l = “q”
input_player2_r = “[”
input_player2_left = “d”
input_player2_right = “g”
input_player2_up = “r”
input_player2_down = “f”

Hope that’s enough info.

Did you ever get this figured out? I am going crazy trying to get this to work.
