Yeah, cheers man. I've gotten a few N64 games working now and even a couple of Playstation ones. I might look at the DC next

I mean, when you load the game, it doesn't appear the "press a button for settings" box (runcommand I think it's called?). Maybe this has something to do?

If anyone is still having issues with the Bluetooth on NES30 controllers this might help.

I know it's for the Pro controllers but it worked for me.

@Hydro
Your RetroPie-Setup script is not up to date and there are some controllers which crash reicast-joyconfig.py. It seems to be you have one of these special controllers.

@Water-White just download a gamesave that has all the pokemons.

@jay81uk Try input core input remapping
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#core-input-remapping

You can update retropie-setup and remove emulators you don't want. It's a feature of 4.0.

regarding controller configuration did you set it up as described here - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation (Check the controller diagrams)

Having the same problem

@dankcushions

I actually had a gut feeling about that and tried it last night. I just saw your post and you were absolutely right. I downloaded the older version and now it works.

Thank you once again for your help.

Sure, no problem

SNES should load the SNES specific config file found in the .config folder. In that config is a line to include the "all" config file for retroarch.

Look for this config and see if the include line is there and if it points to the correct "all" config. It sounds like when you load a ROM, the SNES emulator is not loading the SNES config file, so it creates one.

I'm not very knowledgeable with this, but you need to trace the config files. Retroarch also has a directory settings for configs. I believe it is set to "default" in the config. I know if you change this, it will cause problems.

I updated my firmware to: 2.68 and I couldn't get the thing to work properly. I rolled back to the 2.67 version and it all worked as before.

I didn't try starting the joypad in another mode other than select.

You could try linuxjoystickmapper. I have successfully mapped keyboard presses to my PS3 controller for the standalone PPSSPP emulator. For the life of me I can't use the built in mapper without getting some wonky response while in the UI menu, so I used linuxjoystickmapper and mapped all the default keyboard controls in PPSSPP to my controller. You can also map stick axes to keys, but I have had trouble with this. You might be more successful there.

Here is some more info should you decide to tinker with it: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2032/dosbox-mapping-mouse-to-ps3-analog-stick/17

I would consider it a last resort.

Whup, got this sorted, restart and bob's your uncle.

@dankcushions Because that's the latest version of SDL MAME Wii, which is where I will be playing games.
So I don't need the CHD files for a proper conversion - only if I intend to play the games which require it, right?

Coincidentally I have purchased and tested a cheap USB hub with 7 ports on my raspi1 today. Some ports doesn't work as expected, but I didn't have time to check it deeper.

Did you turn on the "Save config on exit" in RetroArch (config_save_on_exit = "true" in retroarch.cfg). I'm not sure but by your description it seems to be your problem (at least one of them).

BTW, maybe you like to know this tool: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1167/here-is-a-way-to-select-joystick-for-players-1-4-global-or-emu-specific
