      So, I followed the tutorial here (the first method), and got my remotes to work in EmulationStation, but whenever I go into RetroArch the controls stop working. Does anybody know how to fix this?

          So, I have a Raspberry Pi model 2B running Raspbian Stretch with RetroPie 4.4 manually installed onto it, got everything set up, got all of my games working on it (I have had previously installed RetroPie before) and I got a USB NES controller to work on it.

          Eventually the NES controller started to stop working for whatever reason, so I decided to follow this tutorial (the first method) to get my Wiimotes to work and connect to my RetroPie.

          Everything was going well, I got the Wiimotes to connect and show up as Gamepads in EmulationStation, but when I decided to go into RetroArch, all of the controls stopped working.

          Is there any way I can fix this?
          Here are the config files:
          /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
          /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Nintendo Wiimote.cfg
          /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
          /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg
          /home/pi/mywminput (I have another file called mywminput2 but the only difference is I put Plugin.led.Led2 = 1 instead of Plugin.led.Led1 = 1)
