      Hi there!

      I've built myself an arcade last summer, it's running an RPI4 with Retropie and two sets of those run-of-the-mill joysticks/buttons kits you can get off Amazon and the like.

      Everything is working just swimmingly and I love the thing. I've set the left joystick to an 8 way gate that I use for most games, and the right joystick is set to a 4-way gate to play the very oldschool stuff like Pacman and Burgertime and the like. I spend hours on end configure each. and. every. game on the machine this way.

      A week or two ago I decided to run a general update on pretty much everything that was installed, just keep the machine up to date and stuff.

      Anyways.. today I fired up Burger Time for a quick game, but didn't feel like scooting over to the right joystick so I decided to just change the controls back to the left joystick.

      And I can't seem to be able to. It used to be that I could go into the settings (select+x) and then controls, and just decide which joystick did what. For some reason, since the update, I see absolutely no way to do that anymore. Am I being stupid and missing something super obvious here? Did something change in retroarch?

      I googled the crap out of my problem, and I got nothing. :/

      Ideas?

      Thanks~!

        Holy crap. Never mind... I.... yeah... that .... that was stupid. It's been a while since I configured the machine and I totally forgot that it wasn't retroarch's settings but MAME's settings I had to change.

        I'll go hide under a rock now. Kthx
