      @dinierto if you stop setting up the configs inside retroarch and use/ edit the autoconfig files in /opt/retropie/configs/retroarch/autoconfig/ then you wont have those issues.

        I've done that, either I'm doing it wrong or it didn't work. I set the keys in the autoconfig files but it hasn't done anything

          @dinierto do them the same as they show up in retroarch but remove the player1 part so they match how everything else is done in the autoconfigs.

            @edmaul69 I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean. What am I editing now? The autoconfigs don't have Player 1. I just changed the button numbers to match what I wanted them to be.

              @dinierto sorry site when down for maintenance while i was trying to post a new post. you can change the numbers and you can also add new stuff. anything that is done in the retroarch.cfg can also be done in the autoconfigs. for example i added these to my ps3 controller:

              input_disk_eject_toggle_btn = "12"
              input_disk_next_btn = "11"
              input_disk_prev_btn = "10"
              

              however you need to delete the configs you created for the autoconfigs to work.

                Okay, I've set those buttons. Which config would I delete? I haven't created any myself.
