      I think if you delete the es_input.cfg from within the /home/pi/.emulationstation folder, you can start from scratch with the controller configurations in ES.

        The controller settings in ES work fine. I'm talking about RetroArch emulators (mainly PSX but I don't mind if they all get wiped).

        What folder(s) can I delete to reset all emulator settings (all settings) ?

          @scyllabus The controller configuration in ES is copied over to the RetroArch cores automatically. So if you follow the advice given above it should rewrite any corrupted RetroArch controller configs you have.

            @scyllabus https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/ - see what's the controller config locations - probably /opt/retropie/configs/psx/pcsx.cfg for the non-lr emulator and /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg for the libretro version.

              @jonnykesh Deleted (renamed) the entire /opt/retropie/configs folder.

              When I try launching a PSX game: "No config found for system psx"

              I rebooted as well. Nothing.

                @scyllabus Re-install the psx emulator and the - default - configs will be re-created.

                  @mitu I ran the RetroPie-setup script and that seemed to fix it.

                  The only thing I'm having a problem with now is I can't get Final Fantasy 7 to work. The controls just don't respond no matter what I do.

                  Other games work fine though.

                    @scyllabus Silly question, but do you have the BIOS installed ? Maybe FF7 is a different region ROM and needs the corresponding BIOS file - check out https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/.

                      I tried loading Final Fantasy 7 - the ROM name is Final Fantasy VII (USA), and the controls definitely work. Used a standard WiiU Pro Controller, connected via bluetooth.

                      Check the Runcommand log to spot any obvious errors.

                          @scyllabus The only difference I see is the bios filename ( scph5501.BIN vs SCPH1001.BIN). Can you enable verbose logging via the Runcommand launch menu (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#runcommand-launch-menu) and try using the controller, then paste the log file on pastebin.com ? Maybe we spot some errors there.

                            @mitu I've already reinstalled retropie like 4 times and I swear, every time I touch the controls and attempt to enable the analog stick on FF7, the controls just break forever. Even if I don't save anything. It's so incredibly weird.

                            I've reinstalled for the fourth time and it's working (without analog) on FF7, so I'm just going to not even touch the settings. I really don't want to redo my RetroPie image anymore.

                            I'm just honestly baffled I'm the only person that's ever had this problem with FF7 on RetroPie.
