      I'm not experiencing it at all, and if a lot of people were, we would not hear the end of it.

      When I configure in emulationstation with 3.7 it creates an appropriate entry in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads as well as /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini as well as /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg and others, I imagine.

        Weird, is there anything I might be missing that's making it not do that? It's making my ES config one just fine, but not my /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads one....

          I really don't know. You haven't been messing with directory permissions or changing your username/group or anything like that, right?

            @wetriner Not in the slightest, I know far too little about linux to mess around in there :)

                  @BuZz said in Possible 3.7 Bug?:

                  cat ~/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg

                  Of Course!
                  I don't have a es_temporary input (I have one marked old, but nothing apparently current) but my es_input config is below. When I run the input configuration script, nothing happens, my terminal just moves onto the next line.

                    Please format your post as requested. http://commonmark.org/help/ or just remove the data since you provided a pastebin link - the idea is to not fill the forum with unreadable logs.

                        the es_temporaryinput.cfg should be created when configuring a controller in ES. Your problem is that at some point you have removed your es_input.cfg and it has lost an important "initial" config line that triggers the auto-configuration.

                        delete the es_input.cfg and re-install ES from binary from retropie-setup menu 5 which will put the config back.

                          @BuZz Reinstalling did it. Not sure when I removed the es_input.cfg but clearly I must've done! Thank you for your help.
