      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.
