Unzip and place this retroarch.cfg I have attached in /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/

To do this:

Download Filezilla: https://filezilla-project.org/

Connect your Pi to your network via ethernet. In terminal on Pi type: sudo ifconfig

Note the IP address of the Pi starting 192.168 after ‘inet addr’

Open Filezilla, in top left box ‘host’ type the IP address you just noted.
Then in ‘username’ box type pi
In ‘password’ box type raspberry
In ‘port’ box type 22

Press ‘quickconnect’
In ‘remote site’ box on right side navigate to: home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/

Drag the retroarch.cfg into the ‘remote site’ box to copy over.

Start your emulator and the controls should work, they’re set up for a xbox 360 pad. If they don’t work run:

nano /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

and change input_player1_joypad_index = “0” to input_player1_joypad_index = “1” (or possibly 2)

You can also modify the controls if you wish by changing the button numbers.

I have set the ‘hotkey’ button to the ‘back’ button on the pad. This means that if you press the back button and specific buttons you can access different options:

back & start = emulator exit
back & home button = Retroarch GUI (useful for setting frameskip)
back & left shoulder button = load save file
back & right shoulder button = save file
back & left trigger = select save state decrease
back & right trigger = select save state increase

Hope this helps
