Avancemenu ignoring settings?
  • I'm trying to remap the keys in Avancemenu, but it seems like no matter what I do, it is just ignoring the settings in advmenu.rc.

    I know it's reading some of the changes I made, because it's responding to my joystick (which is inexplicably disabled by default), but any recent changes I've made are not being implemented.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: never mind, I figured it out.

    For some reason, Advmenu will ingnore changes made to advmenu.rc that were not made using the Pi.
    I was initially editing on the Pi, but I ended up taking the sd card out and editing the file on my laptop, which is when the changes stopped taking effect.

    I did it this way because it was a pain trying to balance a keyboard on my arcade cabinet once I had the joysticks installed!

    I made the permissions completely open, but I guess Advmenu still didn't like it.
  • hmm. weird. you could always download PuTTY and ssh into your pi. That's what i do. it's way easier. Glad you got it working though.
  • It's easy enough to just plug in a keyboard and use nano to edit the file.
    I was just being lazy, and took the sd card out for editing instead of moving the (bar top) cabinet to somewhere that I could also balance a keyboard.

Howdy, Stranger!
