      goto the shell via ssh or press f4 on a keyboard

      type this exactly.

      mv /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg es_input.cfg.bak
      sudo shutdown -r now

      it will ask you to configure your controllers again when it reboots. Set all your keys if you it keeps on asking for keys to set you dont have just keep any button in for 3 seconds. Hope this helps.

        @grant2258 Thank you, thank you, thank you! You made at least one child happy and one older child too :)

        BTW, menu is working but when I enter retro Arch nothing moves, even if I have keyboard attached.

            sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh emulationstation configure
            sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh retroarch configure

            try that :)

              Yes, I meant emulators are not working. I tried this but nothing happened. So now it is like this.
              Emulation station is working fine. Mame is working fine, but I configured it through internal menu by pressing TAB on attached kbd. Rest of emulators eg NeoGeo, Sony, Sega32 etc are not reacting at all to joystick nor buttons. Is there any way to eg reset it all than set it up again or some easier solution can be applied?

              Thank you very much!

                @vlanidi Did you re-configure your input again in ES after you deleted your input configuration ?

                  @mitu said in DragonRise Inc Generic USB joystick:

                  ES

                  You mean after I reset and configured inputs, using mv /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg es_input.cfg.bak
                  sudo shutdown -r now

                  did I do the same from ES?

                    @vlanidi After the steps you mention - and the restart - did you configure again the input in ES ?

                          @vlanidi How did you configure your input initially, before the update ? Was it working before ?

                              OK, I discovered one more thing, when I change emulator joystick option to "lunix-raw" NeoGeo doenst work. On some others only LR is working but not up and down. I wonder if it would be ok to format sd card and install system from scratch?

                                @vlanidi Before re-writining anything, try resetting your inputs from the RetroPie-setup, the Emulationstation package has an option to reset all your configured controllers. Do that, restart ES and then re-configure your gamepad.

                                  I am old SOB so from experience clean install was the only working solution.

                                  Thank you all for your help!
