The Pi and RetroPie were developed in the UK, and they use a different keyboard layout there than the U.S.
The first is Localisation Options (note UK spelling)-which you’ll want to configure if you don’t live in the UK. You’ll probably want to change a few settings here. It’s a blue screen with text-based menus. If you did what I wrote above, either wired or wireless, you should now be in the Raspberry Pi system settings program.

It’s a convenient way to configure the system without having to drop to a Linux command prompt. It contains a list of shortcuts to set various settings. Once that’s working, you will see a menu called RetroPie. Don’t mess this up, or you may have to unplug the Pi and start the button assignments over again. It will ask you a long list of questions that let you assign which button goes to which control (i.e. Then hold down a button on the gamepad until EmulationStation detects it.

For the NES30, hold down the power button on the front-left of the controller until it turns on. You’ll have to switch the controller into discovery mode-for the DualShock 4, hold down the Share and the PlayStation button at the same time until its light blinks. Using the keyboard, find the Bluetooth option and select it. This is the RetroPie setup program, a blue menu with lots of text options. The controls are also not optimized, which makes playing frustrating and replayability low.Then hit enter. The worst offender is Sonic Lost in Mario World with its controls-it had a plot but didn’t even bother to tell you what to do. For one, most of these do not have tutorials.

Out of all the mini-games, this is the best-but isn’t optimized for PC controls. There are two modes-Main Game and Time Trial-and you can choose 4 characters-Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Cream.
Lastly, Ultimate Flash Sonic is basically a copy of the original Sonic gameplay. Sonica is a platforming game where you have to get to the exit without dying. Sonic Tetris and Sonic Pacman are exactly what you think they are. Mario is the final boss in this short game. A is for jumping, Z is for throwing limited mushrooms, and holding the Down key lets you spin-dash. Meanwhile, Sonic Lost in Mario World features a classic Super Mari o level.
