      Am wondering if this is related to the issue I chimed in on here...
      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11902/gamepad-buttons-stop-working-in-retropie-setup-4-2-12/2

      Seems we are experiencing some similar things, perhaps?

            Yeah. The biggest annoyance is that I can't press "A" when launching ROMs to set rom-specific settings. :(

                @mrpotato plug in two controllers and see if the second controller works.

                  @lostless i was going to try to warn you but apparently you have already done it. Its weird that the correct controller is js0 but js1 is used for everything linux-ish

                    @edmaul69 yep. Tad late. I'm sure it'll be fixed. Maybe. Until then I'll just use a ps3 controller.

                      Does the PS3 controller not have the same issue?

                        @mrpotato no, the PS3 controller via Bluetooth is working just fine.
