    @CobraDesign47 Did you delete the es_input.cfg configuration file while attempting to re-configure your gamepad/keyboard ?

    Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      @mitu Where would I find that file, so I can check if I deleted it?

          The question wasn't is it there, it was did you delete it. Even if it's there now, it might have been deleted at one point and come back "wrong" like in Pet Sematary. I think you can fix it if you update or reinstall emulationstation through the RetroPie-Setup script. (you don't have to reinstall, looks like you can just "clear ES input configuration" in the "configuration and tools" section of the setup script, and this will fix it also. Then re-configure your keyboard one more time and see if it works in games then, too.)

              @sleve_mcdichael Hello! That didn't work. I cleared the ES input configuration, but nothing changed. The controls that you configure on start up are supposed to work in all emulators, right? The only emulator that I have tried that works is MAME, and MAME doesn't respond to my configured controls, it responds to its own controls that happen to be adapted for a keyboard. The only controls that I didn't configure are the right and left analog sticks. Would that be a problem?

                I've been poking around, and I noticed that there is no cores in Retroarch. Would that be a problem?

                  Not if you're using a RetroPie image.

                      Hello! I realised that maybe you guys are assuming that my usb keyboard is a gaming keyboard. It isn't. I think I'll have to buy an actual video game controller eventually. Thanks anyway for your guys' help!
