      So i can't for the life of me figure out why my PS4 controller won't work on retropie.
      I got myself a Raspberry Pi MODEL B with a 16GB sd card, i'm running RetroPie 4.1. My premade image is: retropie-4.1-rpi2_rpi3.img.
      A keyboard, wifi adapter, Dualshock 4 controller. The controller works fine in emulationstation but not retroarch/roms.

      Every time a load ANY rom i get the "[controller] is not configured". I have tried so much stuff. Ive edited retroarch configs multiple times. For some reason "retroarch-joypads" doesn't contain anything.

      My runcommand.log:
      Parameters: 0 SYS nes /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Super Mario Bros. 3 (USA).nes
      Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Super Mario Bros. 3 (USA).nes" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

        @TheSwedenGuy When you configure input in emulationstation, it automatically create the retroarch-joypads/YOUR_JOYPAD_NAME.cfg file. Try to configure your joypad input in emulationstation again and look if the "retroarch-joypads" file will be created.
