@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.

@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:

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

@BuZz said in usb audio and mame4all incompatibility ?:

@rig if you have a rpi3, you will find lr-mame2003 a better emulator.

Yea, I have lr-mame2003 but I don't use it as much. when I first started using mame I played a few roms on both emulators and came to the conclusion that mame4all worked better. By "worked better" I mean that the sound was cleaner/clearer on a few games and the video resoulution looked sharper on a few games. However I have run into exceptions-- I use lr-mame-2003 for St Dragon because it sounds much better compared to mame4all; I also play x-men on lr-mame 2003 becsuse the sprite shadows look better.
I didn't run a thorough test and I could be mistaken. Maybe I should give lr-mame2003 another go. What do you mean specifically by lr-mame2003 being a better emulator?
I can say that I do prefer lr-mame4all over mame4all because of the retroarch support.

p.s. I am using a rpi3

@mediamogul @pjft @backstander

No TV's here in the hospital, they had before, but they remove them, as well as the telephones of the rooms . Budget cuts... anyway a don't have rpi... but I have one tablet with emulators and a PS3 dualshock... XD.

I really thank you all for your support.

@freakE a grid or grill or cross-hatch, could be any one of those names.

@zequico Are you using a VPN? That might be causing your issue.

@DamnAlex

Glad to hear it.
