How test a new controler
-
I have a new controller (a data frog y3 arcade fighter stick). I configured the controller on Retropie and went to RetroArch (RetroArch for some reason didn't get my Retropie configurations).
Now the controller seems to work but I have the impression that every now and then some key presses are lost. Is there a way in Retropie or RetroArch to test a controller's response? -
Get a ROM to test the gamepad - like https://www.psx-place.com/resources/padtest.396/ for PS1 - and run it under RetroArch to test your inputs.
EDIT: outside am emulator, you can use the
jstest
utility to test the connection/input response with your controller. You'll have to exit EmulationStation and run it from the command line like so:jstest /dev/input/js0
To finish the test and get back to EmulationStation, use
Ctrl+C
(this will close thejstest
session) and typeemulationstation
(+ enter) to start EmulationStation again.
