      I'm using an xbox 360 controller. Controls work with all of my emulators and in the emulationstation menu, but for some reason only in the retropie setup menu and runcommand menus the select button is the Left Bumper (and Right Bumper) instead of the A button.

        @SartreFan There isn't one, both use the joy2key utility, which in turn reads the mapping you have for RetroArch emulators from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads.

          @mitu Is there a secondary location for the file if it does not exist in that folder?

            @SartreFan The global file in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.

              @mitu The only lines uncommented relating to input in that file are:
              input_joypad_driver = "udev"
              input_autodetect_enable = "true"
              (the controls for keyboard inputs)
              (a few controls unrelated to my issue)
              all_users_control_menu = "true"
              menu_unified_controls = "true"
              input_enable_hotkey = "nul"
              auto_remaps_enable = "true"

                Probably because there's no gamepad configured by default there - and it shouldn't be, since the auto-configured gamepad configuration is in the first location I mentioned.

                  @mitu /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads does not exist as a file or folder. There is an autoconfig folder at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig. It contains a config file for the 360 controller but the controls in that file look correct. I've checked the es_inputs file as well and they look correct there too.

                    What version of RetroPie are you using ? Did you reset your RetroArch configuration from the RGUI ?

                      @mitu I'm using 4.4. I have not reset config from the retroarch gui. Controls work fine in the retroarch menu as well. This problem has had me stumped for awhile.
