Reply To: How to setup a controller in 2.2 ???

G’day,

what i found was that its not saving the config file because i permisions?

i just started an emulator (e.g. SNES) pressed F1 to bring up the menu, went through the process of mapping the USB Gamepad, change the directory in with the config file got saved (e.g. to the Desktop) and hit save.
Then i exited Emulationstation (F4) booted into LXDE (startx) found the directory that retroarch.cfg was saved into (opt/retropie/emulators/all/) ? thats only a guess, im at work atm, so i cant remember the exact adrress , deleted it, and moved the saved config file from where i saved it (in this case the desktop) to where the old retroarch.cfg file was, and then renamed it to “retroarch.cfg” as it was something like “retroarch-07212014.cfg”

and that was it, rebooted back into Emulation station and all the controller config was saved and still working.

Thats how it worked for me anyways :-)

Cheers
