I’m new to Lakka, installed it on an old HP Mini1000 I had laying around. Install went ok, I had to disable the menu pipeline shading as it was causing the menu to respond incredibly slow. After that I went in to see what the default key bind were for the system keyboard (no controller yet, dualshock3 in the mail). Like an idiot I changed every button to the same key “B”, don’t ask me how or why. Now I can’t navigate the menu or select things. Is there anyway to boot into a default state? I CAN access it via SSH so if theres a cfg file or something that would get me going again, I don’t mind that approach. Thanks.
From SSH, navigate to .config/retroarch and delete retroarch.cfg. That should default all of your options.
Oh man, I tried that before and it didn’t work, I had to manually edit the retroarch.cfg file to regain control after my keymappings got buggered from trying to add a second controller (the second controller kept trying to take over controller one and it’s button map is different) I tried deleting and it wouldn’t let me (It would just respawn exactly the same) so I had to go in and manually change them using a text editor and setting some basic keyboard controls (because that got broke too somehow) so that I could control it enough to fix the controller keymapping.
Ah, yeah, I forgot to mention that you need to use systemctl to stop the retroarch process first or it will just overwrite your changes (in this case, spawn out a new file) with whatever bad options are currently in memory.
This page has the process: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Configuring-Lakka/
Nice info. Wish I had that earlier. But I learned a lot by manually editing the file myself so either way.
Thanks for the advice, I believe my SSH control port is set to something other than 22 as I can’t access my device or see it on LAN scanner. Any other options here?
if you can pull the hard drive and plug it into a different computer, you should be able to get the config file and fix it’s mapping manually. (Requires Linux or read write access of ext4 in windows) or boot a live Linux and edit it from the machine itself.
Oh new thought is smb is set up (how did you get roms on it in the first place?) You should be able to access the file that way (just make sure to show hidden folders is selected)

I was a little dull when I posted this… I was able to navigate to cfg file through smb
Just go through it till you find the section where it says your keybindings (it shound say b because you set them that way) and change them to the keys you expect them to be. (Up, down, left, right) sort of thing. Just don’t bind anything to escape as that is set for the restart retroarch button.
