Hi guys,

I just got my Pi board and trying to figure out how to go about using it. Let me start off by saying what a great interface this! Just hope I can figure out how to use it.

So I got 2.3 loaded and boots fine, file system expanded.. got my roms figured out via WinSCP with no problem. Now my first question is when i finally get to building the cabinet will these work? I am looking for something that will plug directly via USB. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171068993508?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Next I am currently trying to map the current controller I have which is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Twelve-Button-USB-2-0-Game-Controller-For-PC/321516428400?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28791%26meid%3Daa93c0676b674a599a189c8d7235a69f%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D331407226670

The problem I am having is when I go to hit enter on register retroarch controller in setup.sh, it quickley goes to load script but then goes right back into the setup menu and never lets me map the buttons. Is there something I am missing? Is this controller not supported maybe?

Thanks Guys!

I’m having the same problem.

The first time I installed RetroPie, it worked, but then I used an image with pre-compiled binaries and it runs the script and exits immediately.

Make sure when you run the script that EmulationStation isnt running at the time, as that can lock the joystick device.

This can happen if you connect remotely to the Pi but its still running ES.

I’d also be tempted to use 2.4.2 instead of 2.3
