[HELP: Configuring Retroarch for keyboard input]

That's how RetroArch is, unfortunately.  I know there's several if not many posts on this site asking similar questions about RA (with answers).  You can search around.

Or go straight to the source.  http://docs.libretro.com/guides/input-and-controls/

Thanks, I found that page too originally, but I do not understand it. It says only that gamepad is a virtual controller mapped to your real one. But I have no controller, I have a keyboard. I have Gamepad set to default controller, I have the buttons mapped, yet nothing happens when I try to push the buttons.

[HELP: Configuring Retroarch for keyboard input]

Please help with this, I been trying for the past hour and have given up to even get ZX Spectrum emulator to work. I can load games just fine but no matter what buttons I push NOTHING works! By default "User 1" or whatever is configured for this Gamepad thingie... and supposedly Enter would mean start. But nothing happens! I tried keybinding again, everything, nothing works. Why isn't there a simple "these are the general control keys" menu in this thing?
