@dudleydes Thanks I will check it out, my analog sticks were automatically configured too but I wanted to map the left analog to move and the right analog to aim/look. Maybe fiddling with the .cfg file could tell me more!

@FirestormTimob

So I ended up doing the following:

I left the basic config in place.

I then tested each game, changing the controller type to analog once the game was started and if it worked, I created a custom config for that game that has the player 1 and player 2 controller set to analog.

So now each game works as it should, some work fine with the default settings and the d-pad only, others work with the analog stick. I couldn't find one blanket setting that worked for all games, I had to test each one and configure different options files for each game that supports the analog controller type. It took a good amount of time, but works like a charm now no matter what game my kid fires up on the unit.

Retropie detects 2 gamepads when I connect the Teensy with the 2 analog sticks, but I can't configure any input when I move the PSP sticks. Any idea? :/

On another note - the NES30 is a fantastic controller (http://www.nes30.com/)

I have both the NES30 and the NES30 Pros - I love the NES30 for NES/SNES games, it's well built, and responsive - NES30 Pro on the other hand, its only reason for existence is analog, and the analog is awful, and they feel kinda "meh" in your hands so they just sit in a drawer unused - PS3 controllers work great for analog stuff which is really only on N64/PS1 games in my case.

@darkblaster77 Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. How does yours compare to the one here https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Dreamcast ?

I feel your pain, though. I can't get a single button to work with my ps4 controller. There was one combination of settings that got the dpad working, but generally nothing.

yes you can. Go to the retro pie menu, then configuration editor. from there go to advanced configuration, configure libretro options, then psx/retroarch.cfg. From there look for game_specific_options and set to true. Back out and when you go to the options where you set analog or not, there will be a new option on top to save that config for that one game. So you can set the games that need standard and save just that config for them or visa versa

@Dochartaigh via the configuration editor it can set them on a per core basis or in the global retroarch.cfg.

This appears to be fixed...

I updated Retropie setup to 4.1.10 just now, then did an 'install from source' for lr-pcsx-rearmed.

That fixed it! I can set pad 1 to "analog" and keep the rest as "standard" and this is now correctly detected by any games I play.

I'm super confused by this, because it doesn't look like there have been any commits to this core since I filed the bug. Maybe it was a RetroPie bug?

Can anyone else who's been having this problem please try updating your biz and let me know if it fixes it for you too?

Well, the guys over at libretro confirmed that currently analog triggers are not supported. For some reason I took analog trigger support for granted. Was a long road to get there :)

Anyway, does enabling analog triggers for Retropie make any sense then if they cannot be used in Retroarch anyway? I could either still do a PR or just let this branch go stale and maybe it can be of use later. I personally think it does not make sense.

I updated from source and everything OK. No more GUI-analog-bug Well done Kaos!

@YoshiFan501 no prob. Glad i could help!!

Thanks for responding Buzz....ended up being a craptastic power supply.

@UDb23 no problem. Glad to help.
