Hello, in new to retropi and lakka emualtion so there is some things i didnt understand from reading guides and some things i didnt even find the solution for, ill start off with my questions. *btw , im using RPi3 1- i’m setting an arcade machine with two players normal arcade buttons and joypad, both of them are the same brand. My problem is that when i try to bind the keys everything is fine until i reach the R3,L3,and the joysticks mapping “wich i want to keep them blank” , but the system auto bind them if i dont choose to the same arcade joypad. Now this is what i tried to do. I was able to locate the config files for the controller inside a folder called uvew i think , and i remapped and made them blank manually, but my problem that i can only see one file what the remapping i did only affected player 1 , i tried to do save config for player 2 but it overwrite player 1 since they are both the same brand and name. This is the amazon page for the arcade buttons hope it help https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IQTN328/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2- is there a way to edit lakka menu options? I want to remove some features like remove game, so when the kids play with system they dont start removing games by mistake.

3- im having this issue on my arcade is that when my RPI3 run before my TV finished booting, is to get no hdmi input in my tv, i read that i need to mess up with the bootlog on the RP3 to make it force hdmi, so when i did use force hdmi, the resolution had become minimum and ugly.

Thanks for reading up this far, and sorry for any misspelling since english isnt my 1st language .

I’ll be straight up honest about the Linux-based gaming distros.

If you’re using a Raspberry Pi for the main CPU of a retro gaming unit, but especially one where you’re going to have other people play it and want to limit access to other menus, customize the look/buttons, etc. AND it being an arcade machine, you’re better off using Retropie. It has drivers for the ControlBlock which makes wiring 4-player arcade setups pretty easy, GPIO setup through the Raspbian OS for wiring buttons and joysticks, etc. It’s the Linux-based gaming distro specifically geared and optimized for the Raspberry Pi family of single-board PCs. With Attract Mode and ES ad front-end options, and other displays, I think this will work better.

With that said, Lakka is actually more accurate and pixel-perfect emulation than any other Linux-based distro, but it is SO much better on other platforms than the Raspberry Pi 3 (which isn’t a bad platform by any stretch, it’s good, but when you have an x86-64 bit PC as a platform with WAY more systems at your disposal, you want to use that more.).
