You can put it into ../image/ folder. Make sure you put it into the correct sub-directory.

I removed the image from the document, I don't have time for this right now.
Restored the snes9x image, I don't have time to learn how to upload images right now.

Thank you for reaching out. I'm just overloaded. It's ok if we skip the image, unless someone else wants to solve this. It's no biggie for me, the important thing is to merge since I made a lot of updates.

Replaced wrong text "Input descriptors": 2. For Android, run the [Input descriptors](#android) step first. with 2. For Android, run the [Android](#android) steps first.
Removed: For example, RetroArch 1.16.0 incorrectly added these lines by default: ``` input_gun_trigger_mbtn = "1" input_gun_offscreen_shot_mbtn = "2" ```
Replaced - Create `/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/autoconfig/android` with - Create `/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/autoconfig/`
|
Thank you for the review, Rob. |
Added: - `Settings` -> `Input` -> `RetroPad Binds` -> `Port 1 Controls` -> `Save Controller Profile` will now save the Android autoconfig files in `/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/autoconfig/android`
placed input_driver before input_device -- Reference: RetroArch 1.17.0 generates autoconfig this way
Took myself liberty to replace input_device = "Microsoft X-Box One pad" input_vendor_id = 1118 input_product_id = 721 with the current stable PlayStation controller that I have spent many, many working hours to generate autoconfig files for in various operating systems: input_device = "Sony Interactive Entertainment DualSense Edge Wireless Controller" input_vendor_id = "1356" input_product_id = "3570"
7. Open the file in a text editor and check if some variables are missing. If your OS does not support the controller, then RetroArch will not be able to generate a complete autoconfig file. 8. Make sure that your mapping is perfect by testing every button in the menu, and in game(s) that make use of all of them.
You can try to re-map missing buttons before you give up and save the controller once again, but please do NOT add missing variables manually. We rely on automated data to debug the autoconfig files.
**Note** not !!! Note
Fixed typo
* Added a "#### Inspect the file" section * Added: Evaluate Bluetooth
Add Hotkeys for games/cores that does not use all buttons
After you have loaded the game it's possible that you have to change the native controller to your controller in `Quick Menu` -> `Settings` -> `Input` -> `RetroPad Binds` -> `Port 1 Controls` -> `Device Index` -- for example if you want to use both thumbsticks you have to change `PS1` to `DualShock` in PlayStation cores.
Sort Android
Corrected the axis example
`Main Menu` -> `Load Core` -> `Start Remote RetroPad`

Hi @davidhedlund is it done? @RobLoach do you think you can check one more time? |
Yes, I'm done. |
