Retroarch

[strubdog]

I am trying to update the retroarch.cfg file to add an option to exit a rom with my controller. When exit out of the terminal to the Raspian desktop, I don’t see the configuration file in the file manager. Do I need to install RetroArch seperately. I have just installed the latest version of RetroPie.

Set up controller schemes:
sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Add to controller scheme:
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “7”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_save_state_btn = “4”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_load_state_btn = “5”

Obviously your buttons will be different. For my config, these buttons allow me to quit out with START + Select, and save state with START + R1, load state with START + L1

I have found the retrochar.cfg file. But I am unable to make the changes. I don’t seem to have the correct permissions. How do change the permissions to get around this problem.

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to get permissions

I used the command, but the permissions are still the same. Is there an additional step before or after I put in the command that it needs

Any ideas?
