1. Connect to Emuelec via explorer:

\\emuelec\Emulationstation Config

1. Make a backup copy of es\_input.cfg

2. Delete that file

3. Reboot device

4. Reassign controller

Do you have telegram or whatsapp? So you can explain it to me the step by step process? Because I think I havent seen those files on the sdcard of my gamestick

They are on the sd card, but on a system partition that you can only see on windows with a tool:

> **[Linux File Systems for Windows | Paragon Software](https://www.paragon-software.com/home/linuxfs-windows/#how_it_works)**
>
> Plug hard disk with ExtFS/Btrfs/XFS partitions and work with media on Windows.

So it’s much easier to just connect to your device via Wifi…

Also try to delete the es\_temporaryinput.cfg file and then connect the controller with a cable to your device.
