Controler Issue (no left and right not working at all)
-
Just to enforce this issue.
I also have this problem :). -
There appears to be a patch to fix this
trying it out now
-
@mattlokk it actually appears that this patch has made it into the linux kernel.
I'm now wondering if this patch is what broke the functionality in the first place

Hello everybody,
I have two of these controllers but they don't seem to work even after all this time, it should've been updated.
I'm trying to apply the fix that is in this webpage (https://blog.speedfox.co.uk/articles/1592664594-modifying_the_linux_kernel_to_enable_snes_classic_controllers/), but I'm kind of new to Linux and I don't know how to fix it, could somebody help me?
Sorry for refloating such an old topic.
Best regards.

That patch is for the Linux kernel Wiimote drivers and I don't think it would help the issue in this topic. Regardless of that, the page says the patch is included in the Linux kernel 5.9 and an up-to-date RetroPie installation should have Linux kernel 5.10, which includes this patch.

@mitu I installed the last RetroPie version but it still doesn't work, is there any way to update the Linux Kernel separately or is there something I gotta do with my Raspberry Pi 3B+?
-
@4l3j4ndr0 As I said earlier, the patch you mentioned is for a different type controller and will not solve the issue with the 'TribeRetro' controllers.
The Linux kernel can be updated from RetroPie-Setup, using the normal update function and choosing "Yes" when it asks to update also the kernel and installed packages. If you already did so, then you have the laste versions available (kernel et. all).
-
@mitu And is there any fix for the "TribeRetro" controllers that I have? Updating how you told me would solve the issue?

Not that I know of.

No.

Hey just trying to fix this issue as well, and came across this old-ish thread. Are you saying the controllers in that Amazon link do, in fact, function as intended, including the left and right d-pad buttons?
Thanks and cheers
