Reply To: Frustration setting up RetroPie- Keyboard and gamepads not recognized

[klaus]

just a me too. – I am experiencing the same problems. From readin the log of retroarch this is not surprising.

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-gambatte/gambatte_libretro.so /media/evanas-snes/Super_Mario_Land.zip

I do have a USB-keyboard attached and it is working fine – I can type in the console. So I checked the permissions as suggested in the error-message.

pi@raspberrypi /dev/input $ ls -ltrachrR /dev/input

originally the event-devices had 660 set, I tried setting o+rw as you can see but the error message did not change.

Where should I go from here?
