Configuring
===========
When first run, an example systems configuration file will be created at $HOME/.es_systems.cfg. This example has some comments explaining how to write the configuration file, and an example RetroArch launch command. Keep in mind you can define more than one system! Just use all the variables again.

If an SDL Joystick is detected at startup, and $HOME/.es_input.cfg is nonexistant, an Input Configuration screen will appear instead of the game list. This should be pretty self-explanatory. If you want to reconfigure, just delete $HOME/.es_input.cfg.

Mappings will always be applied to the SDL joystick at index 0. An Xbox 360 controller with the xboxdrv driver was tested. POV hats are automatically mapped to directions (so if you're not using an analog stick, you'll need to skip mapping Up/Down/Left/Right by pressing a keyboard key).
Keep in mind you'll have to set up your emulator separately from EmulationStation. If you're using RetroArch, a handy input config generation tool can be found in the tools/ subdirectory - you can use it with `retroarch-joyconfig -o ~/.retroarch.cfg` or something similar. You may need to tell RetroArch to load this config file with `-c ~/.retroarch.cfg` in your RetroArch launch commands.
EmulationStation will return once your system's command terminates (i.e. your emulator closes). To close EmulationStation itself, you can press the F4 key on the keyboard.
