I was configuring my inputs for retroarch and I had accidentally set the b button to not only launch my games but somehow set it to exit from retroarch every time I press it. Is there a way to reset the controls back to default?

Use Filezilla and do this:  
Go to /home/cpi/.config/retroarch  
Delete retroarch.cfg  
Copy retroarch.cfg.bak to your PC  
Rename it to retroarch.cfg  
Re-upload it to your GS

If you don’t want to SSH into your machine, you can technically also use the program in the utilities folder of the Gameshell called DinguxCommander.

> Re: retroarch keybind input problems/timeouts. I decided to look into it. Since the Gameshell treats the joystick as a keyboard, it would make sense to use an appropriate driver.
