    @dankcushions Yeah, just tried that still no luck. I noticed every time I boot a game up I get "configuration override loaded" in the bottom left not sure if that is normal is their a way I can reset all the retroarch settings for pcsx back to default and delete any other configs I may have saved

      no it's not normal - you must have set up a core or game override at some point. you should have a look in /home/pi/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed/ - any .cfg files in there should probably be deleted.

          @dankcushions do you think deleting all the controller configs in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig might help ?

            but these are analog games - it needs to be pad type analog.

              no i don't think so. that's your controller configurations. you need those. you could rebind your PS4 controller via emulationstation to double check - i forget what the option is called. configure inputs or something like that.

                  Just to let you know I've sorted it by replacing the retroarch-core-options.cfg file from another SD card I have with the PSX emulator on it where it worked and that resolved the issue.

                    @rockysen just an fyi, there has been several issues with this before, if you switch to analog and standard, change all 8 controllers in the core options. There has been several versions of the emulator that has been released with this issue, so honestly its just best to stay in the habit of changing all 8 since you will never know which update will mess that up.

                      @rockysen I know this forum is pretty old and has already been resolved but I had this same problem and if anyone stumbles upon it this what fixed it for me start by changing in the options of the quick menu (select + triangle) in game and instead of setting it to analog set it to dualshock some games only will play with this on:)

                            @purestygian Did you try to apply the instructions in this topic/the Docs ? If that doesn't work, then open a new topic and provide more details.
