Reply To: Retroarch and Hotkeys

[spy64]

OK, so long story short, I have done a stupidly, ridiculously, insanely large amount of repetitive troubleshooting and I have come to this: if I do nearly nothing to a fresh install, I have the exact same symptoms as if I do everything to configure a fresh install. Not a single change has affected my symptoms for better or worse. I believe the retroarch.cfg is being ignored or overridden completely because nothing in it changes the way controllers work even remotely.

Now, the first time I tried an install everything worked I started making modifications, and following some install instructions I found. It wasn’t until after that that I had issues, and these issues persist through fresh installs. The only thing I can think of that can have that effect is the step in the instructions I was following that instructed to perform a firmware update using “sudo rpi-update”

My understanding is that the firmware can be rolled back, but I don’t know what it was to begin with, or how to downgrade to a previous version. Can someone please help me with some (a lot, step by step even) guidance from here?

Also, this is the Raspberry Pi 2… does it have different firmware than the Raspberry Pi?
