@the496rocket please, try to fill the form in the read this first post.

There must be something wrong in your setup. RetroPie on a raspi3 with decent peripherals can run smoothly any game from the 8/16-bit era without any tweak. Just install, config input, put your ROMs and play.

[Footnote: OK, maybe 3D games, like StarFox (SNES) and Virtua Racing (Mega Drive), can stutter a bit. But the games you mentioned should work just fine.]

turns out I forgot the s at the end of rules. Marking this as solved.

For anyone else having this issue:

I'm still not sure what caused it. But I "fixed" it by downloading 4.2 and doing a fresh install.

@Pixel0501 not sure what you exactly mean, but every controller has its own config (at least for the ReteoArch cores/emulators). It's usually at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/JOYSTICK_NAME.cfg.

@meleu, thanks man. I'll look into it.

That fixed my issue. I switch to xpad from xboxdrv and it worked perfectly! Thank you @edmaul69 !

The game work fine i just want to set the dpad of my controller as the analog stick in n64 game

@herb_fargus THANK YOU!

Thank you for the reply. I'm using the Pi supply.

The controller works on the pc for my emulators great. So not sure what the issue is here.

I have ordered a snes one from PiHut now. See how that goes.

Once again thanks for the reply.

@Charononus Might be useful thanks. And the es_input.cfg would be useful for comparison.

@mitu Thanks! It worked. I didn't have to re-install the lr-beetle-Saturn emulator, but rather run an update after deleting the config file. thanks!

@Dgeler said in PS1 USB adaptator not working ( Usbhid error -32):

@Dochartaigh Did you have this kind of error using a not working one ?

This was months ago, but I don't remember seeing any new error(s)...just the inability to map the buttons correctly making the controller useless - that's why I mentioned these controllers (along NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis) being flaky unless you find the right one. Heck, even that above adapter I linked to isn't perfect - it works on my like 12 different PS1/PS2 dualshock controllers but won't work on the non-dualshock/non-analogue-stick versions for some reason...

Nevermind, that fixed it. Once I restarted it started working. Thanks so much.

Trying to setup a new iBuffalo USB 8 button controller. Runs through the standard emulation station setup just fine. I've also successfully used JSTEST to test out the controller and it passes the test. When I get into games the start button doesn't work so you cannot start a game and cannot exit a game. When loading the game I get the little yellow message and it says the controller is not configured. I've scoured the web for answers and haven't come up with anything.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi3 and the latest version of Retropie. I have a Logitech F310 controller that works just fine with the system. No issues at all with the start button.

Any suggestions as to what I can try? I've tried reprogramming the controller several times using emulation station.

Adding some info to request:

Raspberry Pi 3 Retropie 4.1 downloaded from Retropie web site Experiencing controller issue with stock emulators in Retropie - Sega Genesis games and NES games tested so far - select and start buttons do not work. Used JSTEST to make sure I had the button numbers correct on the controller in the config file. Controller is iBuffalo USB SNES controller

@pjft I had actually changed my hotkey for the RA menu in-game to be R/L/down/Y, which was working before, but isn't anymore. Maybe I can use the keyboard to get in and then go from there.

I installed xboxdrv after this started, hoping it would fix the issue I was having with the 360 controller. It didn't appear to change anything.

@maz glad to help.

@RoswellWitness I believe what lordward1234 did was navigate to the folder /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/ and just delete the file retroarch.cfg. I would ssh into the pi, navigate to the file location and delete it.

Looks like i forgot to note it above but i made sure the hack was off. Just to be sure i removed the Bluetooth connection, then re-added it, then reconfigured the input. No luck. The fight continues.
