Joystick/buttons work in ES and games, but not Retroarch

@beezerhale Look in \\retropie\configs\all\, replace the retroarch.cfg file with retroarch.cfg.rp-dist, this should get you the default configuration file.

And I think I may have saved on exit, but not sure.

Also, I did not know that about only needed to configure gamepad 1. I figured because it detected both that I would need to configure both. Thank you for the info.

@mitu Ok. Thank you. I will get on that tomorrow. I'll report back.

@mitu Hi. About to follow your instructions. Do I replace the folder (delete the retroarch.cfg and create a new folder) or just rename the one that is there?

[mitu]

@beezerhale Leave the folder alone, just rename the retroarch.cfg file and replace it with the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file which is in the same folder.

[beezerhale]

@mitu Cool. Glad I checked. Thank you. But I do not see one that end with rp-dist. Here is what I am looking at: https://imgur.com/gallery/XMQkKJj

@beezerhale Rename the .cfg file, then re-install the retroarch package from the RetroPie-Setup script, a new .cfg will be created.

[beezerhale]

Ahhhh. I am on it. Thank you for helping again!

[beezerhale]

@mitu I am in setup script now. Do I update from binary, source, or remove package?

[mitu]

@beezerhale Just install from binary.

[beezerhale]

@mitu Ok, done. Then it detected 2 gamepads and I just mapped gamepad 1. A quick test of 1942 worked just fine. I'll have time later today to make sure the 2 second gamepad is mapped correctly. I'll report back. Thank you so much again!

[beezerhale]

Thank you for all the guidance. It appears all is working well.
