slightly lost in a keyboard of confusion

skot

Good day everyone,
I am a noob to playing with the PI2, I have successfully installed MATE to a chip, and I have been using Linux now for over 10 years, and MAME for 5. I installed the PiPlay to an 8gb chip with little issue. It works (apparently), but I do not seem to get the keyboard commands. Perhaps just a (duh) moment but, if I enter an emulator from the main screen, I do not seem to be able to go back to the main menu. Nor am I sure how to go back to the main menu from the terminal. Also when I viewed the youtube vid for the version I have, I dont seem to be able to make the float over screen to pop up.
Does someone have a list of keyboard commands? A how to etc?

Thanks :)

If you press 'TAB' in the main menu, it will bring up the popup menu, then you can select 'controller setup' in order to change your controller preferences for the emulators.

From the command line, if you need to get back into piplay, simply type exit

Hope this helps!
