USB SNES Controller Input Messed up in Games

[SirGive]

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 :)

@SirGive can you paste the content of your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/YOUR_USB_SNES_CONTROLLER_NAME.cfg here?

input_device = "USB Gamepad "
input_driver = "udev"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_a_btn = "1"
input_b_btn = "2"
input_reset_btn = "2"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
input_x_btn = "0"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "0"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"

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:

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
