      @Rion Thanks for responding! I will try these steps when I get home today and report back. Is it worth noting that I've already upgraded the firmware (most recent) on the controller? And when I connect - I hold R + select to pair. Might that be what is causing it? I ask because I see you mentioned starting / pairing using start only. Thanks again!

            I'm completely uninstalling/reinstalling retro pie to see if the problem persists.

                Same here! I'm using an NES30 controller and I've already followed @Rion 's steps.

                  Good news! This is what I did to get it to work:

                  Backed up my ROMs and BIOS to a local drive
                  Re-installed disk image from retropie to my SDCard
                  Updated scripts/installed latest packages
                  Rebooted
                  Followed this guide, I just turned the controller on, didn't need to put it into pairing mode: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/8Bitdo-Controller/

                    I also reinstalled retropie from from the latest image on the website. Still the same problem :(

                    I'm on firmware 2.70 how about you?

                        @denisuu Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (Best to start a new topic in the future and provide full info about set-up)

                        This topic is about another issue.

                        You probably have the wrong 8bitdo hack mode - you need to reconfigure after switching it off - did you follow the guide here ? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/8Bitdo-Controller/ ?

                          Hi there,

                          I do not know if it's the correct topic but I had to install some of

                          these files

                          into the directory

                          /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/

                          to get the controllers working while playing roms.

                          My configuration also is

                          2* 8bitdo SFC30 controllers
                          raspberry pi 3
                          retropie 4.1

                            @BuZz I did follow that guide it's been posted already the post above mine.

                            I did a clean install
                            turned off the "8bitdo mapping hack = off "
                            paired the SFC30
                            udev rule
                            rebooted
                            setup the controller in ES

                            Still when I turn it on it starts scrolling left until I press right.

                              @denisuu does the controller work in games ? That was the issue I was replying about - the issue with it navigating left until a button is pressed is a known kernel issue and affects a lot of controllers - nothing can be done about it in retropie by us automatically - but it's possible to manually fix it, but it requires a kernel recompile.

                                @BuZz Yes it is now, but I will open another topic about that isue.

                                Is there any fool proof tutorial on how to recompile the kernel? Or is that advanced stuff?

                                  @denisuu I wouldn't mind that you posted a new thread on how to compile the kernel with this fix.

                                    @BuZz It's good to know that it's a kernel bug. Thanks for the info.
