Thanks! I changed the nestopia libretto cfg file and it allowed me to use my keyboard to change the input to gpio and map the buttons on my cab.

Finally got to play Mega Man on my Dynamo!!!

Thanks again!

Dee2er thanks again. I just realized that I can't change any of the retro arch menus for fba, ps1 etc.

How would I change the settings from linuxraw to udev on those?

I tried to change the fba_libretro.cfg file but it didn't allow me to change the inputs in retroarch.

Is it not fba? I also tried fba2x but that didn't do anything. Thanks in advance!

There's quite a lot of config files for Retroarch, the easiest way to figure out exactly which one to change would be check the specific emulators launcher for which one is being used for that game. Otherwise change all the config files for any emulator you want to change to be sure it works.

I've been working on cleaning up all the Retroarch config stuff (as well as most launchers and some other stuff) for the next release. If you can stand to wait a little while for the next release, at that point you will only need to worry about 1 config file for each Retroarch emulator core.

What version of the software are you running? You should be able to navigate all those menus with joystick and buttons without changing any settings. I figured with Nestopia I missed it because I don't really use it but I use FBA and PS1 etc.

I'm using one of Mike's images from highscoresaves.com (a horizontal image). It has a street fighter/mortal combat splash screen.
