# Do note that every other input option has the corresponding _btn and _axis binds as well they are omitted here for clarity. # Needs to be either ‘+’ or ‘-‘ in the first character signaling either positive or negative direction of the axis, then the axis number. # You can use joypad hats with hnxx, where n is the hat, and xx is a string representing direction. # Figure these out by using RetroArch-Phoenix or retroarch-joyconfig. I open up the file to edit with nano: ~ $ cd /opt/retropie/configs/all $ cp retroarch.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/all $ nano retroarch.cfgįrom there I scroll down into the input settings area until I find following lines: # Joypad buttons. This is always good when you are changing a file just in case you need to revert back to it at some point. To Start I will make a backup of the file with the cp command. This is useful if you want to apply different shaders or controls per system. all the other ones in the /opt/retropie/configs/ directory are as you can tell for each system. The main retroarch that contains all the important information is the one located in /opt/retropie/configs/all and that is the one I am going to edit. The results show a list of all the config files that were loaded on the RaspberryPi when RetroPie was installed.

There are many options in this file and I will get to most of them in later posts when I go back and customize and improve a few aspects for game play.įirst since everything changed I have to find where this file is now. The file to edit is RetroArch which is the main configuration file for RetroPie. Once I find that everything is in working order I will revisit this and show off a new simpler method of doing this! There are a few ways to do this but for now I am going to do it the way I did with the older version just so that I can test this new build. Now that EmulationStation is configured for inputs and the controllers are mapped to a file we can set up the controllers to work with the emulators.
