Reply To: Emulation station joypad configuration problem

[peanut]

Launching a game from emulation station works really smooth… the game loads and seems to work perfectly… only the escape button works and arrowkeys and enter to exit the emulator

I tried editing the /home/pi/.gngeo/gngeorc file
I figured removing the hashtags for the keyboard settings just to see if the keyboard controls work

After editing even a tinybit of the neogeorc file the emulator stops working
what causes it to mess up?

# GNGEO Sample resource file

libglpath /usr/lib/libGL.so

# Where your rom (and bios) are?
rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/RetroPie/emulators/gngeo-0.7/installdir/share/gngeo/romrc.d

# and the driver file (copy it from the gngeo archive) ?

# enable joystick support ?

# enable the 68k inline debuger? (disable the sound)

# Use hardware surface for the screen?

# Convert all tile at loading time (insted on the fly)

# NRX-style hotkey configuration
# Up to 4 hotkeys per player can be defined (
# Only fire buttons (A-D) can be combined
# A = 1, B = 2, C = 4, D = 8

# Samples:
# Map CD to P1 hotkey 0
p1hotkey0 4,8
# Map BC to P1 hotkey 1
p1hotkey1 2,4
#Map ABC to P1 hotkey 2
p1hotkey2 1,2,4
#p1hotkey3
#p2hotkey0
#p2hotkey1
#p2hotkey2
#p2hotkey3

# Joystick configuration
# Joystick mapping
# 0 <-> /dev/js0, 1 <-> /dev/js1, etc..
p1joydev 0
p2joydev 1

# Buttons/Axes configuration
# order : A,B,C,D,START,COIN,AXE_X,AXE_Y,AXE_X_DIR,AXE_Y_DIR
# AXE_X_DIR and AXE_Y_DIR is use to invert an axe
# ex: some joystick have the Y axe inverted (up <-> down). For them,
# use -1 for AXE_Y_DIR will solve the problem.
# hotkeys are optional (ie need not be mapped to buttons)
# use -1 to "unmap" a hotkey.
# Samples:
# hotkey0 = button 3, hotkey1 = button 0,
# p1joy     4,1,5,2,9,8,0,1,1,1,3,0
# No hotkeys
# p1joy     4,1,5,2,9,8,0,1,1,1

p1joy     2,3,0,1,5,4,0,1,1,1
p2joy     1,0,3,2,7,6,0,1,1,1

# Key configuration
# order : A,B,C,D,START,COIN,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT
# please see SDL_keysym.h for key definition
# or push F4 during game : the keysym code of
# keys will be printed (also work for joysticks) 
# same thing as joypads for hotkeys

# Azerty configuration:
