Help Needed with Retroarch

[Gumdoc 2]

Hi All,

 

Decided to upgrade my very old version of Retroarch to 1.9 and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Basically, my keyboard commands are not working correctly if at all. I set up (and configured/confirmed) Retroarch so that, for example, the ESC key was to quit Retroarch, F1 is for Menu, F2 is Quick Save, F12 is Quick Load, etc. When I press ESC, it brings me to the Quick Menu. F1, F2, F12...they do absolutely nothing. I made sure my configuration was changed and have gone through the various menus to see what I could be doing wrong, but I'm stumped right now.

 

Another weird thing...when I'm in the Retroarch menu, clicking the left key annoyingly brings up a search box??

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

What version were you upgrading from?

Some of those that you set are default valves, so I would delete the retroarch.cfg in the Retroarch folder and try again. You may have a to reset some of the changes again.

Thanks, I actually tried what you suggested and removed the retroarch.cfg and it seems to have worked. I was on 1.7.3 I think. The Retroarch menu looks different than what I recall, it was fullscreen with a blue background, now it's grey with more of a menu-like apprearance. But, I was able to get proper keyboard functioning by remaking the .cfg file.

That's a new GUI mode call ozone. The old PS ribbon style is still there. Just go into Settings -> Drivers -> Menu and change to XMB. Save your configuration and restart and all should be good.
