    FWIW, I had a bit of trouble with my controller settings in RetroArch after upgrading to 3.0 but apart from that it’s been a seamless upgrade.

    Thanks for the clarification!

    By the way… For a reason I can’t see yet, emulationstation now seems to be looking for a config file in /home/pi/.emulationstation instead of /etc/emulationstation/

    That’s weird.. I always edited the one in /etc/emulationstation (which worked fine, also on v3 of retropie), and now ES doesn’t even seem to be looking there anymore.

    I have deleted (moved) all the config files. Those that are required, such as the retroarch.cfg in each system directory (/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs), I kept, but I removed everything except line for the general retroarch.cfg file include.

    That clean-up did it for me too. I was able to get to the rgui menu again and set up the controller (+ meta buttons).

    Because I wanted core specific settings, I noticed that there’s now a .cfg file for each core being generated in the core’s system directory. When there’s a problem, I diff that cfg against the general one and that way it’s easy to spot where the problem lies.

    I haven’t tested any non-retroarch emulators yet.

    By the way: I’m glad I did the upgrade. The new GBA core is fantastic.

    Just to record my progress:

    It’s the input_enable_hotkey_btn setting that is the culprit. I had it set to a button on the controller (so that I could call the rgui menu from the controller), but for some reason this prevents f1 from working (which it didn’t in the past iirc).

    I’ve also weeded out the myriad of .cfg files, I’ll first set the configs/all/retroarch.cfg file right and then start with the rest of them.

    I have a similar problem: my WiiMote doesn’t work in RetroArch anymore after upgrading to RetroPie 3.0 although it does work fine in EmulationStation.

    Even stranger is that f1 and escape don’t work in Retroarch either… When I launch Retroarch from the terminal there are no issues.

    I think it has something to do with other configs being read, but I can’t for the life of me find which ones…
