@SwiftDragon said in Controls Working in emulationstation but not retroarch:
I am on a Pi 4 using the most recent version of retropie.
Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post.
I was changing screen orientation last night, and a whole lot of things happened that resorted in the controller files of my DragonRise Inc. Generic Joypad to be deleted from retroarch-joypads.
That's strange, the configuration profiles are deleted only when resetting the controller from RetroPie-Setup, I don't recall any part of the setup script that would delete the configurations.
the controllers work just fine in emulationstation, but the moment I enter a game I get a configuration error and the only thing I can use is my keyboard. I've tried reconfiguring the joysticks,
Configuring the controller in EmulationStation should - by default - also generate the Retroarch configuration for the controller. If it doesn't, then you either disabled the ES auto-configuration or maybe you inadvertently changed the permissions on the saving location ? Did you manually removed the EmulationStation es_input.cfg configuration file at some point ?
