@sfc_k said in Controllers will not work in-game:
retroarch now likes my SNES controller but does not want to take inputs from the NES controller now. I think I am completely spent at this point. In response to your latest reply, I think I will have to simply bite the bullet and do a complete reimage. I am curious however, upon starting up the board on this first go around, I was initially stopped to do an input of gamepads in ES. My memory sucks, is it possible for me to simply negate that during the initial startup and simply play with the config files?
Seems like both controllers are being recognised as one pad somehow like @simonster said. On first boot, I would configure the SNES controller only and see what happens. When it is configured correctly, I would remove it and configure the NES one. I would do the autodetect process on both and see what happens then inspect the configs. Also, take a look at this thread. Don't have them both connected at the same time during the config. This video is also worth a look even though it is old.
