Please add your system info as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

It's more likely a controller configuration issue, it's not detected or configured automatically by the Saturn emulator.

i don't understand which config file is needed and if necessary for my case

[mitu]

@Harvestasha The config file for the controller is in $HOME/.yabasanshiro/.config, but you can add a keyboard and mouse and press Esc after starting a Saturn game to open up the menu and configure the controller.

@mitu
yabasanshiro = "/opt/retropie/emulators/yabasanshiro/yabasanshiro -r 3 -i %ROM%"
default = "yabasanshiro"
lr-beetle-saturn = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-beetle-saturn/mednafen_saturn_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/saturn/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

Have you tried to use the keboard/mouse to set your controller ? Note that the only supported Saturn emulator on a Pi(4) is yabasanshiro, I'm not sure how you installed the other 2 emulators, which will not work on a Pi4.

@mitu
i don't know how to do that

[Harvestasha]

i found out what to do, with esc of keyboard i open the menu of emulator and there i can config

thanks
