Reply To: Trouble setting up Ps2 controller

[brocko]

So I managed to install jstest (Sudo apt-get install joystick)

Then I went through sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j * >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg again

Now the controller works properly, which is nice – however, When I look in the retroarch.cfg folder (located in /opt/retropie/configs/all) the entire “Joypad buttons” section does not have anything assigned to it, it looks like this:

# Joypad buttons.
# Figure these out by using RetroArch-Phoenix or retroarch-Joyconfig.
# You can use joypad hats with hnxx, where n is the hat, and xx is a string representing direction.
# E.g. “h0up”
# input_player1_a_btn =
# input_player1_b_btn =
# input_player1_y_btn =
# input_player1_x_btn =
# input_player1_start_btn =
# input_player1_select_btn =
# input_player1_l_btn =
# input_player1_r_btn =
# input_player1_left_btn =
# input_player1_right_btn =
# input_player1_up_btn =
# input_player1_down_btn =
# input_player1_l2_btn =
# input_player1_r2_btn =
# input_player1_l3_btn =
# input_player1_r3_btn =

So if thats blank, then where is the actual config file?

Also, when I try to save the retroarch.cfg file after I’ve edited it (I’m trying to change the exit game/return to emulationstation function from the esc key on the keyboard to a controller button press) I get the message “Can’t open file to write” – how do I edit the cfg file?

Cheers!
