Hold down any button on your keyboard or gamepad and the name will appear at the bottom and

then open up into a configuration menu:

Follow the onscreen instructions to configure your gamepad- if you run out of buttons just hold

down a button to skip each unused button. When you get to OK press the button you have

configured as "A".

If you wish to configure more than one controller, you can do so from the start menu of

emulationstation. For more details on manual controller configurations see this page Here. See

also HERE

Default Hotkeys

Hotkeys enable you to press a combination of buttons to access functions such as saving, loading,

and exiting emulators. The following chart shows the default hotkey combinations. By default, the

hotkey is select so that means you hold down select while pressing another button to execute a

command.

Hotkeys Action

Select+Start Exit

Select+Right Shoulder Save

Select+Left Shoulder Load

Select+Right Input State Slot Increase

Select+Left Input State Slot Decrease

Select+X RGUI Menu

Select+B Reset

For those that are interested, the retroarch controller config that is created after you've followed the

aforementioned steps is located in:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarchjoypads

the following is an example of a SNES controller config- your configurations may be a bit different.

input_device = "USB gamepad "

input_driver = "udev"

input_r_btn = "5"

input_save_state_btn = "5"

input_start_btn = "9"

input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"

input_l_btn = "4"

input_load_state_btn = "4"

input_up_axis = "1"

input_a_btn = "1"

input_b_btn = "2"

input_reset_btn = "2"

input_down_axis = "+1"

input_right_axis = "+0"

input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"

input_x_btn = "0"

input_menu_toggle_btn = "0"

input_select_btn = "8"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"

input_y_btn = "3"

input_left_axis = "0"input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "0"

EmulationStation

Where are the systems?

When you first see EmulationStation you may wonder why you don't see systems like

the SNES or Game Boy- worry not- they are installed on the system, roms just need to

be added to their respective rom folders before they will become visible. Transferring

roms are described in the following steps.

Configuring Wifi

If you wish to use a wifi dongle to transfer roms over the network rather than a USB stick or

Ethernet cable you'll need to setup your wifi- which can also be done from the Retropie menu in

emulationstation:

It will open into this menu:


7/9



Choose your SSID from a list:

Type your Wifi Password (You may need to wait a bit after you finish for the configurations to save)

After it's done configuring you should see your wifi info in the original menu:

For more WiFi configuration options see this page HERE
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Wifi

Transferring Roms

Due to the nature/complexity of Copyright/Intellectual Property Rights Law, which differs

significantly from Country to Country, ROMs cannot be provided with RetroPie and must be

provided by the user. You should only have ROMs of games that you own.

There are three main methods of transferring roms:

USB(ensure that your USB is formatted to FAT32 or NTFS)

first create a folder called retropie on your USB stick

plug it into the pi and wait for it to finish blinking

pull the USB out and plug it into a computer

add the roms to their respective folders (in the retropie/roms folder)

plug it back into the raspberry pi

wait for it to finish blinking

refresh emulationstation by choosing restart emulationstation from the start menu

see this video for reference:

FTP (needs an active internet connection)

Wired (needs ethernet cable)Wireless (needs wifi dongle) There are many FTP programs out there, for windows many

people use WinSCPfor mac you can use something like Cyberduck

You can also log in as root if you wish to change more files than just the roms, but you first need to

enable the root password which is explained here

Samba-Shares (needs an active internet connection)

if on windows type \\retropie into the computer folder. You can also replace retropie with

your Raspberry Pi's IP address
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#why-cant-i-ssh-as-root-anymorehttps://cyberduck.io/?l=enhttps://winscp.net/eng/download.phphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYMoxvbkYD4%0A

if on MAC OS X open finder, select "Go" menu and "Connect to Server". Type smb://retropie

and hit "Connect".

PLAY!

After you've added your roms you need to restart emulationstation in order for them to show up.

You can restart emulationstation from the start menu, or by rebooting your pi with sudo reboot .

see the rest of the wikifor more detailed information on individual emulators, advanced

settings etc. If you still can't figure it out, the RetroPie community is very helpful on the forum.

The RetroPie Project is primarily maintained by a few developers who develop the

project in their free time. If you have found the RetroPie project useful please consider

donating to the project here. We will always release RetroPie for free, but unfortunately

our servers still cost money. As you become more familiar with RetroPie, pay it forward

by helping others on the forum. The RetroPie Project is what it is today because of the

many contributions of the community.

THANK YOU!
