I’m sure there’s a quick and easy solution to this.
Ran update by placing the 4 files in the update folder. Rebooted and the update proceeded. I can now get to the main Lakka menu.
Unfortunately now I get no response from my controller.
I can tell it’s otherwise running fine as I have access via SAMBA and I can see the clock advancing.
Can anybody help? I really don’t want to have to reflash and copy over all my ROMs again.
I had the same problem in one of the latest nightlies, what I did is edit the “retroarch.cfg” via SSH (see http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Configuring-Lakka/) and replace the incorrect
joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/tmp/joypads/"
with the correct
joypad_autoconfig_dir = "~/joypads/"
You need to stop retroarch before editing and restart after, see my above link to documentation.

do you have to create some file for xbox 360 controller to be detected? i changed the path as above but my x360 wired controller is not longer auto detected
If you just made that directory, it won’t have any autodetect profiles in there yet, so you’ll have to fetch them using the online updater.
thank!..i applied same directory fix to database, cores, cheats directory… (i had to delete existing zip in the cores to get rid of the exttraction failed error though)…
after i changed the directories, one last thing was i had to do a complete shutdown for the 360 controller to be auto detected
It’s a complete mess for me. I have a good Retroarch.cfg file which I’m dropping in (after turning off Retroarch. This gets it working until I reboot. The Retroarch,cfg file keeps rolling itself back.
I’ve tried with a fresh install and I get exactly the same problem.
Any tips desperately appreciated!
If relevant: My controllers are Logitech F710s. Retroarch tends to assign Xbox360 controller configs for this controller, which work (although the ABXY buttons need to be swapped around)
I’ve now tried with the latest stable and nightly builds of Lakka, clean install. It works for a while but after a few reboots I get the same issue. Driving me nuts!
@Flipbug, if your retroarch.cfg gets reseted, it’s because you forget to stop the retroarch service before modifying it. It is documented here: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Configuring-Lakka/
Hi Kivutar,
I am stopping the service as per the documentation. This allows me to get Lakka working, but only until I reboot. After reboot, the bad retroarch.cfg file is created again.
Did you identify what was bad in this new retroarch.cfg created by RA?
Sorry, I haven’t been able to get anything conclusive so far.
I’ve rolled back to Lakka-RPi2.arm-devel-20151129192728-r21210-g529e8d8; the nightly where PPSSPP was first added. That’s working fine for me, so there must have been a change in the newer versions that is triggering the problem. I’ve got a second microSD card, so I’ll keep testing the regular releases until it gets fixed 
I found the source of the bug and Twinaphex fixed it.
You can download the latest nightly build, it should work.
Nice work! I knew I wasn’t crazy! I am very grateful for your efforts here.
Thank you
is it working as expected now?
