          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.
