@sleve_mcdichael Thanks for your help. Swapping USB ports doesn't work, perhaps because the iCode controllers are all linked to 1 USB connection. The script looks very cool, and I think would solve the problem except for assigning controllers per individual games within rom's (the script handles global and rom-specific, but not individual game setup). I assume it just links to retroarch config, but I'd have to use some method to reassign while within each game I'd like to customize.

@turbine2 said in Unable to progress through configuration of gamepad1:

How can I skip the Button A / East (and other options I don't have)?

You can't. Some buttons are required, since they are used to launch games and/or navigate the EmulationStation front-end. A and B are such buttons and they cannot be skipped.

You can however map your keyboard to navigate EmulationStation as you'd like. Of course, you'll need to configure your gamepad manually in the emulators started, since it's not configured by EmulationStation.

@brucetablett said in Raspberry Pi 4B, Retro pie registering D-PAD as analogue stick:

do you know any gamepads that works fine? Should I buy a 8bitdo-controller perhaps and not some 20dollar knockoff?

I have a Logitech F710 that works well. Other people seem to like the 8bitdo controllers but I've not used one myself; look for one with a 2.4gHz wireless dongle, as the built-in Bluetooth tends to be less-than-stellar, I have heard.

Built From: (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website, Berryboot, or on top of existing OS etc.. - please provide the filename of any image used): Not sure as this was purchased from a facebook seller.

We don't support 3rd party images and selling a RetroPie image is against its license. Ask the seller for support or start with the image from retropie.org.uk/download and we'd be able to provide support.

Hi,

ok. But then I must install all drivers by hand, lot of work.
I have updated retropie, so it should be the newest version.

@mitu
I haven’t been able to find it online, all I have is the user manual that came with it (though I’ll have to find it again)

I had the same issue on my PC with that stick. There's a TINY little note in the instructions that I found:

"DINPUT Mode: press and hold 'Start' and 'Y/triangle' for 3-5 seconds to switch to DINPUT mode."
(with the switch down in DIN/PS3/SNK position)

That might help.

We don't support 3rd party images - as outlined in the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Ask the vendor for support or install the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

Its not removing any configuration the devices are named the same what you need to to is wire them up the same and you only need to set it one time will work for both players as its configured per device.

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!
