Thanks – I will check this out. I take it I would need to reconfigure some of the scripts to be compatible with ES 2.1?

So…

cd ~/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Would become:

$ cd /opt/retroPie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
$ ./retroarch-joyconfig -j >> /opt/retroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Also, how do you specify screen resolution in each emulator? Is it easier running the emulator as root, accessing the settings menu to scale them accordingly, or is it something easier done by editing a config file somewhere?

One other question. If I wanted to access the emulator menu using a control pad (Xbox 360 wireless through the USB wireless receiver), do I need to press the hotkey then press the button assigned to the menu command?
