      I am using a USB Xbox style controller and have had no issues up until today. I've gotten it to successfully work with EmulationStation, RetroArch, and everything in between. I have no clue what happened, but all of a sudden today, my controller stopped working during Playstation emulation. It still works perfectly in EmulationStation and all other cores just fine. I can even use the hotkey combo to display the RetroArch menu from within a Playstation game, however no actual game controls work for an PSX game. It seems like there is something broken between the Retroarch control config and how it talks to the PSX emulation, but that is just speculation on my part given what I know.

      I tried remapping the controllers, updating the cores from source, etc. but that didn't fix it. The Retroarch configs look fine from what I can see in terms of controlls still being mapped. Oh, when the PSX emulator starts it also says that it has loaded the Xbox pad on port 1. I noticed that some PSX games will actually tell me that the controller type in port 1 isn't supported or something to the effect that it doesn't recognize the controller.

      Any clue what would cause this?

          You'll need to give some information about your setup. Otherwise, any possible solution would be guesswork.

            Like a guess that you aren't using a libretto core PSX emulator.
