Which manual ? The one that I found for this gamepad mentions the Home button to switch between XInput/DInput.

I refer to the same manual

@mitu said in Shanwan usb controller analog/d-pad switch issue:

Since most games don't support the analog controls, it's normal. RetroArch has a setting for the controller (Analog to Digital Type) to make the joystick control the D-Pad, without the game supporting it.
Open the RetroArch menu, go to Controls -> Port 1 Controls and set Analog to Digital Type to Left Analog or Right Analog to use the joysticks instead of the D-Pad.

I have also a PS1 controller and I'm able to switch between analog and digital in games, so I thought to do the same with shanwan too

@nylinmatt is this for all games or a specific one? One setting comes to mind though. Go into core options->input-> center joystick for digital controls -> disabled.

I am having this same issue with my f310 game pad and Legend of Mana on the psx. I have tried everything including setting all 8 pads to analog but to no avail. The switch on the back of thr f310 is set to X-Input mode, so the analog should work. What am I doing wrong? I really want to play this game on my retropie.

Update:
I finally figured it out. After doing the above, I had to save a config file for this game and then hit select and the B-button to reset the game while my settings were in effect. After it reset, I was able to use the controller. I was about to go crazy trying to solve this.

I think I screwed something up on the pre-made retroie image. Because I re-flashed the pi and set I2C to be loaded through sudo raspi-config, now when I reboot it does detect my I2C. One step closer to my mobile retropie!
