Troubleshooting PBP Files Not Working on RetroPie

If you're experiencing issues with PBP files not working on your RetroPie setup, you may be able to resolve the problem by forcing the WIICLASSIC extension and adjusting classic controls. Here are some steps to follow:

First, try adding the following option to your RetroPie configuration file: `-Force WIICLASSIC ext`. This can help force the system to detect the PBP file correctly. If you're using a non-official remote control, make sure that it's configured properly and reporting the correct inputs.

Next, take a look at your classic controls settings. You may need to adjust the layout, invert button directions, or tweak other settings to get everything working as expected. To do this, navigate to your RetroPie configuration file and modify the classic controls settings accordingly.

I wanted to share these steps because I found that they were much simpler and more integrated than the method proposed in the official RetroPie wiki. By following these steps, you should be able to get PBP files working correctly on your RetroPie setup.

If you're still experiencing issues after trying these troubleshooting steps, you can try running a test using evtest or xwiishow to help diagnose any problems with your controller or input settings.
