Gamepad not functioning correctly with Ports (eduke32)

[fuzzybat23]

I finished installing Duke Nukem 3d and discovered that the only buttons working on my wired 360 controller are the D-pad. I can navigate the menu with it, but nothing else works. Even the hot key doesn't work. The only way I could exit out was via the wireless keyboard I have installed. Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how to get the controller to work properly with Duke3d?

I think eduke32 assumes a keyboard control so it doesn't automatically use the controller, you'll have to configure it - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9835/eduke32-controller-analog-sticks-issue-constant-spinning/.

@fuzzybat23 On first install, you will need a keyboard to configure your controller. You can do this by navigating to Options -> Control setup -> Joystick Setup -> Edit Buttons.

Once you have mapped your buttons, the axis mapped to turning will navigate a menu (this has probably already been mapped) and the button mapped to fire will select an item in a menu. I have not found a way to map Escape to a button so a keyboard will be needed to bring up the menu in-game.
