Inverted Joystick in Retropie Setup Screen????

Fleetwood7694

I'm fairly new to the Retropie scene, and I'm having trouble with inverted joystick function when in the Retropie Setup screen. I've mapped all 4 inputs in Emulation Station and in Retroarch, and saved the changes. I've rebooted numerous times and they remain the same as the should. I've looked over everything I know to look through, in regards to configuration files in efforts to try and manually map it, with no evail. Where would this be mapped, and how do I go about fixing it? All my mapping is as it should be with the exception of the Retropie Setup Screen and the screens where you add or update packages. If not Emulation Station or Retroarch, what system mapping would this be considered? I've eventually started fresh, but still having the issue.

@fleetwood7694 Please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. What controller are you using ? Are you properly configuring the input in Emulationstation ?

The controllers I'm using are Dragonrise 8-Way Generic USB. In regards to mapping via Emulation station, I programmed them when prompted at the initial boot. I've double checked them numerous times via Emulation Station > Main Menu > Configure Input. Could it be as simple as the Joysticks being flipped? Up=1+, Down=1- ,Left= 0+, Right= 0-

After I mapped them initially they work fine in Emulation Station and Retroarch. I just can't seem to get them to act as they were mapped in the screens I specified.

@fleetwood7694 So the mapping works fine in ES and RetroArch, but only acts funny in the RetroPie-Setup screen ?

I flipped the controllers and got it to work. I guess they were installed inverted, and regardless of how I mapped them, they remain inverted in the Retropie Setup. Hope it helps someone else! But yes...They worked exactly how I mapped them in ES and Retroarch. They were just inverted in the screens where you make changes to Retropie. Can you map this area?!?

I had the same problem, but with my controls being turned 90° in th setup screens. Seems like those screens don't care about ES' controller configuration, but that can be easily fixed by connecting the joystick's microswitches in the "right" order on the encoder – if you're not using its single Sanwa port, that is.
