Apologies, I was unaware of that feature, I only knew of retroarch.cfg. Thanks for enlightening me. I have attached the new file to be merged. (that I created under the process you recommended- I also added the same hotkeys previously mentioned, hopefully that is ok)

I had the same issue with 2.4. Even with the right bios the games kept crashing. I had to go back to 2.3 and they worked fine. Its an unfortunate glaring bug in 2.4 beta right now.

I had a similar issue except it was mostly due to the fact I had corrupted my microsd card beyond repair. I tried everything using testdisk, fdisk, SD formatter but I ended up needing to buy a new one. Got a 32 GB card off amazon for $15. It was a good investment.

Getting WiFi working with RetroPie?

As of yet I have been unable to get psx games to work on 2.4.2 beta but I was able to get them to work on retropie 2.3. I just added the scph1001.bin in the BIOS folder and my games worked fine (couldn’t remember if it worked as uppercase or lowercase filename) it may require some overclocking though.

I just updated to 2.42 and was attempting to get the n64 emulator to work but even with over clocking it still lagged a ton and crashed my pi. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that the raspberry pi just lacks the processing power necessary for smooth emulation of the n64.
As fr as other issues with 2.4.2, for some reason in my case the psx games all crash after 1 minute even with the proper bios, so hopefully that issue will be fixed. Other than that I’ve been really impressed with the update- scummvm got some much needed improvements. Its scripted to add your games to emulation station when you populate them in the GUI as well as has controller controls rather than requiring a mouse. The home terminal incorporated a temperature guage on the central processor and now it’s easier to emulate on more than one version of an emulator. All in all I’ve been pretty impressed with the update, its definitely worth checking out.

I tried with my SNES controller and due to the fact of it lacking a joystick, the directions on n64 didn’t work. Plus as far as my experience goes I’ve never been able to get satisfactory results out of n64 emulation to the point that I would be even able to play it. I was able to play games on the PlayStation though with my SNES controller. You just have to configure the controller to the specific game at times depending on how many triggers are being used.

I had the same problem, all of my psx games were working just fine in 2.3 but once I upgraded to 2.4.2 they crash halfway through- I have the proper BIOS and everything. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution for this bug.

I also came up with a snes config file for some USB controllers I purchased.

Where I purchased the Controllers:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-x-Retro-Super-for-Nintendo-SNES-USB-Controller-for-PC-for-MAC-Controllers-SEALED/2051991309.html

The Configuration File Code:

https://github.com/HerbFargus/SNES-Configs-RetroPie/blob/master/retroarch.cfg

For use on the SNES emulator only:
copy to opt/retropie/configs/snes

For use with all other emulators (that use retroarch):
copy the lines of code under joystick in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Other Notes:
Hotkeys enabled:
select+start= exit emulator
select+right trigger= save
select+left trigger = load

either download the file directly from github or change the attachment file below in notepad++ from retroarch.cfg.txt to retroarch.cfg as petrockblog doesn’t allow the upload of .cfg files

Took me a while to figure out but works really well now, it should work for other controllers as well, you may just need to modify a few of the numbers as they may be different.
