Well I found a sollution from 2016 that worked for me, in this example it´s the snes that made trouble but it works for other emulators too BuZz ADMINISTRATORS 24 Aug 2016, 17:19 @Robust Please try the following. From a terminal please do rm /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg or delete the file over windows networking Go to Emulation Station -> RetroPie and do Update RetroPie-Setup script Go to Manage Packages -> Main section > lr-snes9x-next - and choose "Update from binary" and all should be good.

@mitu said in RetroPie controller set up issue: @ranma The problem in this topic is specific to the xpad driver, which powers the Xbox 360/One controllers, it's not a general one. Basically, after an update of kernel, the xpad RetroPie driver was not installed and overwritten by the default one, which is sometimes incomplete depending on the model. This has been reported after the 4.4 was released, but was fixed some time ago https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/f6e5a6d70512fc796a4fb535ddf1b44ea985db47. Oh I see. I assumed as the Logitech F710 switch had to be set to X input rather than D that this issue was effectively the same as mine. I'll start a new thread when I decide to have another attempt and if the problem resurfaces. Many thanks. :-)

I will try that ASAP

That's odd, I have two PowerA wired Xbox one controllers that i got from Argos and they just worked. Maybe it could be a power issue? You haven't given much detail of your setup, could you fill out the form from the read this first link? I am of course assuming that you are at the configure controllers screen where it isn't accepting input. The controller won't work until you've configured it as an input device.

@Maynard i reinstalled RetroPie 4.2, before i used v3.6 with xBoxdrv I would recommend disabling Xboxdrv and only using the Xpad driver. There's an issue with the Xboxdrv and the Linux kernel(s) used since version 3.8.x of RetroPie.
