      Having an issue with my USB SNES controller. I am using a RP 3 and am on 3.8.1 (Tried beta 4.0, too), and whenever I enter gba/nes/snes/gc game the start button no longer works and the select button becomes the start button. The controller works fine in the EmulationStation. I didn't find anything specific to snes controllers that was specific to this. I also tried peeking at config files, but the entire configuration hierarchy was over my head.

      I also tried remapping for a specific core, but i wasn't seeing all the available buttons to remap to.

      I have tried an F710 and had no issues with it. The SNES USB Controller is this one.

      if its garbage, that would be good to know :)

            It's easy to solve. I would need more info to help you, but I think you can solve it yourself.

            Try the core input remapping: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#core-input-remapping

            If it don't solve your problem, you'll need to read a little more:
            https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#hardcoded-configurations

            Go on man! I believe in you! :-)

              I tried core input remapping, but its an issue with all cores (and the select button is now the "start button" so I can't remap per core).

              The start/select work perfectly in the emulation station, but its only once I enter the core that I have the problem. Is the all/retroarch.cfg specific to retroarch or is this also to emulation station?

                RetroArch only.

                  I ended up flashing the image (for the 3rd time) and ordering some new controllers and no issues now
