@simonster yes, that is exactly the problem. Thanks for the walk through!

@chaska04
It works on w10 normally

@lupacexi said in Overall controller recommendations?:

Is this possible to have lag due to Bluetooth

Yes, it's possible, especially if you're also using the Wifi. People usually get a separate Bluetooth USB adapter and disable the PI3 onboard bluetooth and this improves the lag situation.

What is a decent wired controller that I could have 4 of so we could alternate from simple NES games to some MAME games like TMNT.

If you want cheap, then the Buffalo Classic controllers are decent (though they suffer from mild ghosting - search the forum for details) for their price. The Logitech F310 is also good and works nice with RetroPie.
Don't forget to check the Controller section of the docs for compatibility or just ask the forum if you have a model in mind.

Hi everyone

@nickstr138 I have created a "driver" for this, check this out :

Regards

@psyke83 thanks my dude im still really new

@tiesel Ich habe es immer so gemacht, dass ich das "Configure Input" Menü geöffnet habe und somit den Controller nochmal neu eingestellt habe. Dort siehst du das z.B. A Button 3 oder so ähnlich ist. Diese Informationen schreibst du dir irgendwo hin und Stellst dass dann in der Config um.

I think MGS uses all 8 buttons and yours has six right?

Edit : I looked at a picture and it seems you have enough buttons on there.

@shaxs how u can use the 2.4 GHz adapter? I used it and retropie detected the gamepad but If i pressed buttons to "configure" dont work, idk why, help me pls

@thedatacereal If you're looking to create per-core configurations, the easiest is to do them in the RetroArch gui, then save them with Save Core Overrides. They'll be saved into the .config folder and they'll contain only the changed configuration options, much easier to read and maintain.

@dematica
Ok so any one having the same problem
It’s only on RetroPie witch is a shame cause it’s just what I wanted to use . It apears that on Recalbox the joysticks work just fine .
Still open to help if any one can point me in the right direction

Wireless is appealing for the simple reason that's it has no wires. If I was playing on an old 28" crt that would be one thing but on a 46" led TV I want to sit back on the couch.

While there is less lag with wired, I play with PS3 controllers and haven't had any noticeable lag issues.

@chigundo As far as wired controllers go, the ibuffalo are perfect for any games not needing analog sticks or triggers (no ps1, no 64). I also recently built a picart for my girlfriend and bought her the pihut snes controllers for under $10 each because she never grew up playing games much and I wasn't sure if it would be good to invest too much. These work really well for the price though the ibuffalo and original controllers are far superior but she doesn't notice a difference not having a history or much game playing. The only real downside is a short cable. She also now loves playing frogget and the classics every night before bed to wind down so I am going to upgrade her to wireless so she can lay in bed instead of having to sit on the edge.

@cool_iron Configure it in Emulationstation - as described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/.

work on mario kart wireless mod and no work Zelda ^^

@kevinkaufman Please don't post to years old topics - post your own topic instead and provide all the info needed to help you diagnose and fix the problem.

Hi, thanks for reply.
The game you are linking to is Fishermans's Bait 1, this game works great on my retropie setup.
But i guess you have a good hint there.
I am sure there is a way to map the buttons for Fisherman's Bait 2 also.

@jonnykesh have you ever heard of the controller connecting via Bluetooth, retropie detecting the game pad, but NONE of the buttons working on gamepad?? I’m going to try another gamepad, this is most recent 1.23 firmware update with the new-ish SN30 Pro.

@edmaul69 And here is the requested Config. Since i cant upload Stuff here, i got you a Mediafire-Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/az6zsxquld1gz2q/Xbox+Wireless+Controller.cfg
