I know there is a config for the emulators and libreto but wasn't sure what file holds configs for retropie/emulationstation itself. I was trying to see how it stores input configs from two different users for this but not for the other files. I tried looking for config files throughout /opt/retropie and its sub-directories but am unable to locate the config file for the key mapping in retropie. I could even play snes roms but it did state there was an error saving to an /opt/retropie file but it was cut off. This made me curious as to why I had access to this install by another user. When I log into my 'retropie' user I run emulationstation but it does ask me to configure the keyboard for this user. I was also able to configure the keyboard as a controller and the config stays. I reinstalled it under the 'retropie' user I created but I can still run it from my main account.

Thank you for clarification on the multi user install. I previously searched for the Retropie files in Terminal and I was able to figure out where the folders were and delete them which matches exactly as you described. I have been a long time windows user and made the switch to Linux over the last year thanks to Retropie and other raspberry pi projects greatly feeding my Thank you, I apologize I did not see this notification and just happened to check today.

I apologize for any simple things I should know. Is there a straightforward (not expecting quick or easy) way to remove anything installed by the script and start fresh? I do not see a Retropie folder under my main account so I take it that every user shares the same rom and config folders rathe rthan each user having their own that can be customized? I assumed this meant that deleting the other user would allow me to continue to do so but I should have dug deeper first. Is there a way to limit the Retropie install and executables such as emulationstation to just a specific user? Before I deleted that user I could run it from my main account. Where is emulation station installed? What is the best way to find what is installed still and remove it? I now have a couple of questions about installing Retropie and multiple users:Įmulation Station still runs but forces me to quit due to not seeing systems installed. I wanted to clean some things up and deleted that user not thinking about what I was doing. While I was at work for hurricane on-call duty I created a user and installed Retropie under that user.
