this is especially useful for games like Super Smash Bros which requires the jump button to be next to the other two buttons- this is how it would naturally be on the real gamepad and games are designed in this fashion. I cannot map the C buttons to be C buttons because of the current method of configuration.Īn example configuration is to map the Retropad A and X buttons to C up and C down respectively. For example, I own an N64 USB pad replica. This is poor design choice as it assumes that the user only has a controller with two face buttons aside from a D-Pad.

Then put the config files back and edited USB_Gamepad_ in the config folder, and the retroarch.cfg file in /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch and in /opt/retropie/configs/all.As is, there are two options for mapping C buttons. Then deleted all the config files /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs and rebooted – now nothing worked, even after input configure. Just reinstalled retropie and doing everything again to see if it helps. Sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/emulators/īut still doesn’t work. I tried (Im accessing it through filezilla etc, hope thats the correct way to do this?) to delete the files, but I keep getting the ”Permission Denied” error… If you are using Version 3 Beta 2 I am starting to think there might be a problem with the autoconfig files.ģ – Reconfigure each joypad using RetroPie Setup script and Joystick setupĮDIT: Just saw this one. Which files is that exactly? Because I have no idea about this stuff. This time it worked perfectly with my SNES controllers working without the need to go near the retroarch.cfg file. To fix it though I deleted all the automatically created config files and let it create a new one. Nothing seem to be working, the D-Pad still doesn’t work. I have also changed the /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/USB_Gamepad_.cfg with the text above. On the other hand, I have changed the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg with the text posted above. Though I have not changed (don’t know if it’s the correct one or even if I’m supposed to change that one) /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/retroarch.cfg it just says permission denied.

I’ve tried what’s been written above, copy/pasted the files into my current files, but without any success. My D-Pad doesn’t work “in-game”, but it works in the menu etc. (I have the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, with retropie v3.0 beta2 on it and I have these controllers – though that shouldnt matter since they work until I start a game, and I’ve tried a ton)

I have also plugged the controllers in to a PC and they work fine there. I should probably tell you that this is a Pi 2 running the latest RetroPie build Version 3 Beta. I’ve tried reconfiguring the cfg file with just +1, -0, +1, -0 etc for the axis and have even added the input buttons for h0up and so on. I close out of the emulator and the D-pad starts working again. All the other buttons do, including the special configurations such as emulator quit, save state, load state etc.

The confusing part is that once an Emulator loads and picks up the RetroArch configuration file of USBgamepad.cfg, the D-Pad does not work full stop. Using JStest and the joystick setup I can see the buttons are all working and register on both as the same results: I have run the Joystick setup and they are picked up there without issue also. They plug in and play beautifully in the menu system for EmulationStation once configured as new controllers. I’m starting to pull my hair out on this one! I bought two (let’s face it, knock off) USB SNES controllers off eBay.
