Controller works in emulationstation, but has weird mapping in emulators

Rip

Thank you for your response. Configuring and skipping the hotkey seems to have fixed the mapping confusion.

However I already tried the config editor solution to fix the "master" controller issue and no change.

Can you post the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg on pastebin.com ? Just want to check that the proper config has been added there.

@mitu

So one of the ways I tried to fix this problem was to rename retroarch.cfg to retroarchOLD.cfg.

So the only thing currently in the newly created retroarch.cfg is:

input_player1_joypad_index = "1"

retroarchOLD is this:

Try using input_player1_joypad_index = "0", I think RetroArch starts the numbering from 0.

From your retroarch.cfg:

# First joypad available is 0.
input_player1_joypad_index = "1"

I made the change, unfortunately the problem persists.

@Rip Do you have any other joypad type device connected ? Can you run

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

and post the output ?

@mitu

I do

From the output you provided, it looks like you have 2 gamepad/joysticks:

(index 0) Padix Co. Ltd. 2-axis,4button joystick w/view finder,rudder
(index 1) _USB Gamepad _

While the 2nd one I think has buttons, I'm not sure about the 1st one - if it's just a joystick or it also has buttons that you can use. The input_player1_joypad_index will configure in RetroArch which of the gamepads appears as P1, I don't understand why either 1 or 0 doesn't work. Did you use 'Save Configuration' from the RGUI at some point during your configuration ?

Try using 1 as the P1 joystick index and open up the RetroArch GUI (Select + X or F1 on the keyboard) and check in 'Configuration -> Input - > User 1 Binds` which device index appears for P1

@mitu

I checked in Retroarch itself and the USB gamepad is set for both player 1 and player 2. I thought this might be the problem but alas, no luck. Also, I did use the "save" feature.

So I decided to just disconnect my joystick altogether. After going to the "joystick selection" menu in Retropie and setting player 2 to "unset" instead of the joystick, it seems to have fixed my problem. I can live without the joystick for now. When I want to play a game with it, I'll connect it then.

Thanks for all your help, it's greatly appreciated!

This might have overriden the configuration in the main retroarch.cfg. But anyway, it's good you got this working - finally.
