Hello, I just wanted to tell you that you can change retroarch's style back to the old one (This is optional of course). Just go to settings, then drivers, then go to menu and select xmb instead of ozone. Then exit out of retroarch and open it again. Hope this helps!

Im using a PS4 controller but the buttons don't work according to my set bindings in the quick menu, they assign themselves to different buttons instead without showing it. The Z Trigger for Mupen64 is set to L2 in bindings for example but only works when you press "down" on the right thumbstick - among other messed up button combos Any idea what's going on with this thing? It's aggitating the hell out of me lol

Easy fix. Set the hotkey for menu toggle. Then start a game for genesis. Then hit the menu toggle hotkeys. Once the menu is open there are 2 ways to fix the issue 1. Go into the quick menu and fix it there and then "save core overrides" 2. Exit the quick menu> go to settings> input user 1> set your controls like you see in the video. Then before you exit settings go to configuration> select save new config. This should apply the settings to any game that uses that core or system

Thanks, mate Does RetroArch recognize what USB port i have each controller plugged into? If so can i have 2 different controller setups for each port w/out one hindering or changing the other? My grandson also comes over to play and he has his own preferences,so all i have to do is take my 360 controller out of my USB port 1? And put it into usb port 2? and he will be good to go m once we set his preference up there? And that won't change my port 1 settings when he goes home and i put the controller back into my port? Another thing is i read a guide b4 finding you and have my 360 controller near perfect, except maybe one mistake All games play perfect, except when playing "Dragons Lair 3D" .i can do everything but walk(LOL) The game options say "L" is to walk,but i have no idea what that translates to on my 360 controller,so i hit any and all buttons,but it does not get me walking The error i may have made was when reading how to set controller up,when i was told to assign a button by hitting "back button",i had no idea what button that is,so i guessed "B",but i already chose "B" for another setting Is that why i cant move/walk in "Dragons Lair 3D" I also subbed in bro Cheers

Or, start a game and press your menu toggle hotkey to open the quick menu. Look for mouse settings. If you find them you will want to click save core overrides. If there is an additional settings menu like in mame you can find it by loading the core and going to "information>core info" if there is another settings menu this will tell you how to open it
