      So I recently built myself a retropie, and was trying to play on it but the controller wouldn't work in the games, only in the menu's, I could however get back to the emulation station. Some help would be appreciated, here is some technical information...
      Controller: Logitch F310 (Wired)
      Pi Model: 1 (Not sure if a or b but its green)
      OS: Latest Retopie
      SD Size: 32GB Micro
      Video and Audio Output: HDMI
      Hopefully I have provided enough information

        @MCWDD Which emulator are you using? If it is not a libretro one, the controller will not auto configure.
        See here if it is: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration

              @rbaker Then I can't answer which one I'm using exactly, can I just say the defult one? I haven't really messed around with any configs

                @MCWDD said in Controller Not Working:

                can I just say the defult one?

                No. Let's look at the SNES. Your roms are in the correct SNES folder right?
                /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes

                So there are 6 flavours of emulation. The libreto ones use this config:
                /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg

                but Pisnes uses the snes9x.cfgfile located in /opt/retropie/emulators/pisnes

                The run command will tell you which it is when you launch a rom, the box which appears just before the rom loads: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

                  Ok can we slow this down a bit please, I currently don't have access to my pi and I think my roms are in the right place because they are coming up, I used the USB transfer method. I will get back to you when I can access the pi
