@mitu Oh okay. Thank you for your time mitu.

@YFZdude DUDE YESSSS!!! I was looking in the controller section and not at the console section! I am really new to retropie and I had no idea there was a quick menu LOL! DUDE YES THANK YOU!!!!

My 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless 2.4ghz controller with updated firmware also didn't work on the latest RetroPie image.
But I was able to make it work only after updating driver packages --> I noticed that xpad had update.

Thank you for the kind words.

@psun03 read https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/szlxkz/i_want_2_controllers_active_on_port_1/

A somehow recent version of retroarch is required, so make sure you are using the latest version available on retropie.

Yeah, it looks like I assumed the official doc was still the page I needed to check. I was able to find that now (although it was a bit confusing since those are two different things...settings vs controls). However, it's working now.

But now I'm wondering about something. None of the other emulators that use the six-button controllers require me to force the six-button settings in the Retroarch core first (or at least the Sega-based ones). With core remapping, I'm able to get them to cooperate. Would there be any benefit to turning on six-button in the other cores (where core remapping is already working fine)?

@mitu This seems to have solved the issue, thanks!

@sirhenrythe5th No worries, the issue was resolved as mame2003plus worked with all the games.

Hello,

Is this ok in 2025 ?

I want to buy a Dualsense for my Retropie-4.8.9 Bookworm Lite on Pi5 and I want to know if it works today, or if tricks are needed to connect a dualsense in bluetooth.

Thanks

@chicoputo cool to see this helped someone else, somthing additional that might be be helpful.

if you re-map the controls you need to reapply the fix.

not sure what but somthing happens that causes it to default back to error state

@mitu Ah okay, im really sorry I'm so new to this I expected them to be BUTTON,

No worries, you're doing great so far.

@TheIronCorpse That'll work fine. Pretty sure its BT aswell, so you can use it wireless. It also works with the Nintendo Switch, Windows & Android devices. I have the predecessor
(and about 7 other 8Bitdo controllers..).

@Rinusch thanks again for rephrasing despite my clear lack of understanding. You did right by raising a ticket directly. Somehow I'm still convinced your issue is related to the one I've mentioned earlier about the custom controls. Anyhow thanks for your patience.

On Amiberry, it looks like I don't have access to all the buttons on my gamepad for CD32.
Can someone do a test with Chambers Of Shaolin and tell me if he is able to punch and kick?

@StoqnS14
Have you tried installing the Nintendo Switch controller drivers as mentioned in the Docs page?
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Switch-Controllers/

The sensitivity / input range without that driver is not enough to recreate the full tilt range of N64 sticks.

@luckyluca After building the sdl2remap branch, i got the same error. Do you know what the root-cause is for that error?

I reinstalled RetroPie all over again and the joystick setup works fine now. Couldn't figure out what was causing this issue.

@mitu
I found the solution, one button was wired differently compared to player1.
That fixed all the problems... sometimes its very simple!
