@backstander if you give user root a password , then on your ssh program you just log in as root and you can dump the files anywhere on the pi without getting permissions denied.

Also, https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/playstation-1
You missed searching the official guides. Do that next time instead of random youtubers that will get stuff wrong or leave stuff out. Though, something that's missing in the wiki.. "scph7502.bin" (not in caps either) works just fine too.

@knuxyl That's the way to do it. Such charm and obvious intelligence. Good luck getting an answer to your problem.

@nubbix

This is not the way to ask for things, something is not shit just because you don't know how to make it work. For sure 13 years old or less.

You have insulted the work of a lot of people just because you doesn't know how to make it work.

Then if you doesn't know how to drive a Lamborghini I suppose that car it's a shit too?

Thanks. Will try that.

@tyreal90 never mind I restarted my pi and it works again, thanks anyway, I thought I broke something. XD

It seems that indeed, the configuration itself was the problem.
When I reconfigured the controls in the libretro GUI menu, it overwrote the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/xxxx.cfg files with some new values - different ones that jstest prints.
I had to edit the files for the special commands, like 'exit emulator', 'save', 'load', but basically it works now properly.
Interestingly the emualtionstation works as if nothing had been changed.
And nes, snes, psx games also understand now the key presses on my noname gamepads.
BTW: They are Terios T3, bluetooth stuff.

@TMNTturtlguy could be the usb bluetooth device you are using. Mine worked great. Mine isnt one of those nano adapters though. Mines about an inch long.

@Hubz It's a known issue on a few controllers, yours and the iBuffalo SNES seem to suffer the most.(perhaps because they are commonly used with RetroPie). It seems to be a Pi or Raspbian issue rather tban specifically a RetroPie issue. When I test my iBuffalo SNES in terminal using jstest random inputs are registered there. Normally d-pad inputs. No-one knows the cause, so no known fix. At this time.

@rig Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (and open a new topic - this one is 7 months old)

@mediamogul the flashback ones came in two small ziplock baggies. Then i put my homebrew ones in a small ziplock baggie as well.

@Allanbuzzy I'm not sure the Raspberry Pi will allow you to raid USB devices together.

There are these little gadgets that might come in handy.

Update; the n64 emulator works perfect but issues with snes and nes

@LazyLizard This seems to be a great bash guide with cool tips and tricks:
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide

And if you have a specific question about bash, this is a really good resource to look at (even before searching in google):

@TMNTturtlguy Not a problem, it should be good to the best of my testing abilities. I did not make a lot of changes as well, so its impact should be fairly self-contained. As such, I don't see how it would have affected the saving.

There's an option to have game-specific core options saved, maybe you had some of those set? I don't see why that would be the case, but it is a possibility. If you do have created a game core for some of your games, then yes, the is the case. If you don't, then saving the option will affect all the games (as all read from the default options).

Cheers! Thanks for helping narrow down the cause for this!

@andog please read this first and then provide the proper info and a more detailed description of what you are doing and what is happening. read this first

@pjft you're my hero! I'll try that when I get home and update this if it's solved or not. Thanks, man!
