So what you are saying is that I need to hookup the buttons on each controller so that they are the same value. IE button 1 for each controller is ''A''. I never had this problem before but will just rewire my board to make sure they match. Thanks for the help

@AJ2425 said in Some buttons not responding during PS controller configuration: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this points to it being a controller issue. Well, if the controller works with your PS2, then it's an adapter issue - you might want to get that checked - or try it also on a PC.

~~Just when I thought my issues were fixed....!! Trying to set up version 2 of this Raspberry Pi - everything is the same as the one discussed above, image from v1 copied and then written to a second SD card and inserted into a second Pi 3B+ As I start it up I'm getting the usual "no gamepad detected" which is fine, I'll live with it, but on v2 only, when I try to map a pad (in this case a second Mega Drive replica, and a brand new out of the box second Mega Drive replica) I cannot map any buttons other than Up, Down, Left, Right, Start and Select. When I get to button A, I have no response whatever. I thought it might be a faulty controller, but as I've said, also tried it with a one I know works on the original system and get the same issue. Try rewriting the SD card? Anyway to skip button mapping completely? Something else to try?~~ Ignore. Got it working by changing the input mode of the pad from X input to D input

@daveybones Update the RetroPie script and then re-install the xpad driver, it should work now.

@quicksilver thank you!

@lostless Changes are apart of life haha. Most have been a problem i was totally oblivious of. Glad you like the update, i'll just have adapt. Thanks for even understanding what i was trying to explain and taking the time to reply Lostless. I expected zero replies to my question honestly. Have a great weekend!

@mediamogul thank you, I will try them

@mitu pi 3 b controllers:wired powersupply:phone charger retropie:4.3.11 made from: sdcard image as you can see the 2 controllers are wired are these enough to know my problem thanks reply quote 0

@roll_sk START

@caver01 Thanks very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. The DK scenario is one I hadn't contemplated (map all buttons) and a good idea.

@cdromce did you read point 5 in the link I posted?

@Swain224 Unfortunately, the guide I linked to above is about as easy as it gets and there's no GUI. If you have the basics in place, adding a button combination with the 'B' and 'A' set to act as 'start' would look like: --ui-buttonmap b+a=start It should be noted that the learning curve for all this is pretty high. However, it does get easier over time if it's something you want to explore. Also, while handy for Emulation Station, this really wouldn't be ideal for game play, as there are plenty of times where any two buttons will need to be pressed to trigger a game event and the game will only ever see your chosen combination as being the 'start' button. Of course, the mapping can be disabled once a game is launched, so there are possible work-arounds, but you're always going to be at a disadvantage with so few buttons.

@meleu so....everything working it appears. I edited my SNES file and I missed the hot_key stuff so now I can exit my Emulators....thank you for the help.
