Datasheet
After rebooting, the HDMI monitor may display a “no signal” message. This is normal. Not all monitors can handle the
resolution setting we’re using. Once the PiTFT is wired up, that will be the primary display.
Also, after the system is assembled with the PiTFT and controls, you’ll need to re-do the controller setup. This might
wait ’til all the parts are assembled in the case.
From the main EmulationStation screen, press whatever
key was assigned to the “Start” button to access the
main menu. You’ll find an option here for “CONFIGURE
INPUT.”
Go through the control setup process again using the
PiGRRL buttons now instead of the keyboard; assign the
D-pad directions, Start and Select buttons, A, B, X and
Y. For anything else, hold down a key or button to skip
it.
Uploading ROMs
Check out the Wiki on the RetroPie Setup page for how to upload ROMs:

Exiting ROMs
Retropie has changed how to exit out of ROMs/Emulators. Hold down the Pause & Start buttons at the same time to
exit.
Remapping Controls
The buttons are premapped to work with NES and SNES emulators. If you'd like to remap the controls, you'll need to
modify the retrogame.cfg file in /boot.
Make sure the Raspberry Pi is configured for Wifi. Open up terminal and ssh into the Pi. (Default username: pi
password:raspberry)
Then follow the retrogame tutorial to set it up the way you like! (https://adafru.it/sct)
Testing Controls
If you log in (via SSH or F4 shell) you can see exactly what keypresses are detected by running evtest then select 1 (or
whatever retrogame is numbered):
