If you do not have a gamepad and only a keyboard, you'll probably need to (re)map the keys so you can do 元 and R3 or just choose 1 as an option, instead of 2 like I did. I have a Logitech F310 and so I have the 元 and R3 buttons mapped. You'll need to figure out which choice is best for you. You'll need to choose this option (see below) and uncomment the input_menu_toggle_gamepad_comboĠ = none, 1 = L + R + Y + D-Pad Down, 2 = 元 + R3 While still in Notepad++ viewing the retroarch.cfg, press ctrl+F and search for "RetroPad Button Combination" Uncomment "cheat_settings_path =" and then press spacebar and add ~/RetroPie/cheats/settingsĬheat_settings_path = ~/RetroPie/cheats/settings Go to the next section down where it says "# Path to XML cheat config." Uncomment (delete the pound symbol #) where it says "cheat_database_path =" and after the equals sign press spacebar and type (without the quotes) "~/RetroPie/cheats". Keep searching until you come to # Path to cheat database directory Press Ctrl+F and do a search for "cheat". This will open up the SAMBA folders that the Pi is currently sharing.įind retroarch.cfg and right-click and open with Notepad++ Using File Explorer in Windows type \\RETROPIE. Login to your pi if you havent changed it the default is (username: pi password: raspberry)Ĭd RetroPie mkdir cheats cd cheats mkdir settings Make Sure to Save this as its quicker to double click what you name it then continually typing the IP. Type it in where "Host Name" is keep the port 22. In Putty you'll need to know the IP address of your Pi.
