Can't change buttons function

Vectorfall

Greetings, this lasts days I've been fixing my old arcade cabinet and I'm having some problems with the controls set up that I've tried to fixed but I haven't find the problem. I'm using th rasp 3 model b. As controler two zero delay encoders with six buttons and a joystick each one, 1p and 2p buttons, and a coin button (I've tested them in a computer and are all well conected).

The problem is that I can configure them in the ES controls perfectly, but when I open a game and I enter the menu from the game to change the controlls for that emulator it doesn't let me do that. I go to settings -> input ->input user 1 binds, and when I'm there and I try to change the function of each button it doesn't let me. I've conected a keyboard and pressed evry single button but nothing happens.

Does anybody know what's happening or what can I have done wrong?
Thanks a lot

Rather than change the user input bindings, you should be using the core remapping functionality. More information on this can be found in the link below.

@mediamogul okay thanks a lot, I'll try it

@mediamogul Now I can change the contols so thanks a lot, but I have another problem about the input remapping. The problem is that when i'm there instead of saying:

User 1 B: ....
User 1 Select: ....
etc

As I've seen in some internet videos, in mine it says:

Auto 1 (N/A), (key: z) ....
Auto -0 (N/A), (key: left) ....
etc

Since it says auto I don't know wich player controls I'm remapping and it's kind of confusing. Got any idea of what's happening and how to fix it?

That's the new dialog to re-map buttons, you probably seen some older videos with button remapping in RetroArch.

@mitu thank you very much for solving my doubt

ive hit this as well and was confused. i see auto stuff and explicit buttons, so its confusing. I checked the input bindings and saw some map to auto and some map to explicit buttons, so i'm assuming this means it depends on the input settings--this mostly works but ive found a few situations where it isn't working, so im not sure.
