@barbudreadmon said in Analog stick bind recently stopped working in MAME:

@slimbrick there were some changes with that analog-to-digital feature last month, if you recently updated retroarch maybe you'll want to read https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-9-6-released/

Thanks! This will certainly help and the timing correlates very well with when I started having problems.

my two cents. Work on ARKOS which uses full version of Retroach...

Hi all, I tried many ways to Save and have persistent HotKey binds. AN dthe only way I was able to get it persistent, even after retroarch reboots and new confirg saves, over rides is to add the values on the retroarch.cfg. and for good measure I also pasted my values in CORE and Folder Remaps and core cfg. IE NES.cfg and Nestopia.cfg (remaps on like nes.rmp) I think that last part is overkill,, but I tried everithing and this is now working so overkill made it.
here are my confiig for my Ambernic rg351p running ARKOS?

input_hold_fast_forward_axis = "23"
input_hold_slowmotion_axis = "24"
input_rewind = "26"
input_save_state = "20"
input_state_slot_decrease = "h0left"
input_state_slot_increase = "h0right"
input_shader_prev = "h0down"
input_shader_next = "h0up"

Hope it helps. The H0 values are for the left D-pad. That took a while to figure out.

@nateo44 While the original poster here said it didn't work for them, the only way I was able to solve this issue is to update xpad from source individually, even after doing a full update of the entire system the usual way. From inside of EmulationStation, choose RetroPie, then: RetroPie Setup, Manage Packages, Manage Driver Packages, xpad, then Update (from source). I'd restart the entire system afterward. Once that's done, go back into EmulationStation, hit Start, choose Configure Input, and go through all the mapping again for each side of your X-Arcade Tankstick. Note that this is with the unit in Mode 4 on a newer Tri-Mode Tankstick unit. Worked for me; YMMV.

No idea if it's unique to a Pi 4, or what the deal is, but it was the only method I could find for getting LT and RT buttons to work properly.

I remember a similar post - after the 4.4 image was released - mentioning that DInput behaves differently and switching to XInput made it work.

@MarcB it's the global RetroArch config file. But some configs are in other files.
For fast-forward for example, the input_hold_fast_forward_btn = "7" line
in configs\all\retroarch-joypads\Xbox360WirelessReceiver.cfg is enough. But keep in mind that this config will work only for your xbox joypad.

@Rion
still, my point stands. you should have more justification than just 'use my guide instead' on every thread where someone talks about mounting USBs. i don't see how your method makes any difference to OP.

I may be very late to reply to this.

Look at my post here
