      UPDATE!!!
      Finally got it to work!!! For those with a similar issue. I deleted the retroarch config files, then cleared the controllers via emulation station. next I reinstalled Retroarch, and rebooted, meaning Emulation station allowed me to remap the controllers.
      Despite ES showing my controllers and assigning them to the Retroarch_joypads folder as DragonRise Generic USB, Retroarch had it as DragonRise N64.
      So I just copied the file from udev folder, into the Retroarch_joypads folder, and deleted the other one.
      Next I went into Retroarch itself via the setup menu, and selected the Control tab in Setting. The new version gives some nice new options, such as Quit Retroarch combo (I think) and Toggle menu, which I set to "Hold Start for 2 seconds".
      There is also a menu option further down the list that i set to a spare button just in case.
      I then copied the retroarch config file from the all folder into the arcade folder, replacing the one in there.
      I then launched pacman, held down Start for 2 seconds, with great relief I got up the menu, carried out what @lostless said, and it works a treat!!
      Now on to the next load of 4-way games!!

      @mitu the toggle was set to "PC", but I tried both settings just in case and there was no difference.

      I also downloaded an app to test input from controllers and got no signal, so I guess that settles it...

      @dankcushions

      Ah!

      I'm not working with the best screen and, with black on gray, that's just looked - well it was unclear to me. 2 years ago I'd have probably remembered it, from the other system I've mentioned, but on the screen I'm using now (usually devoted to something else), it's hard to see. (I have to change terminal settings on most of my systems to use something like green on black that look like the old phosphor monitors so there's good contrast.)

      Okay, I'll use that later today when I'm at over where I have that system.

      (This is a temporary environment for it - I'm setting it up to send to a relative who has just moved out of his house, so this is something for him to do when he's stuck in his apartment at night, alone, without a wife or kids anymore. He has some game consoles, but has never had anything like RetroPie.)

      Just wondering - is there a reason that notification is in something lower contrast like black on gray instead of something like red or green for the text? (I realize it's on a black screen, so you can't use black as a background.)

      @jezza said in Make controller recognised as keyboard GUNCON:

      dolphinbar

      if your dolphinbar isnt recognized as a mouse+kb then its in the wrong mode. i believe the correct mode is #2
      [EDIT sorry i read your question wrong.
      I think the easiest way to achieve what you want, is to just go into the retroarch menu after you launched the game, back out to the main menu, select "input" and bind your button there.
      I've always had my coin and start buttons bound to a separate controller while using the Wii mote as a lightgun.

      I have found the holy grail in this repo line:
      https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/jsfuncs.sh#L345

      Basically in order to change the index, we should just edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg at this line:
      input_player1_joypad_index = "some_index_number"

      or whatever input player you want. NOTE: i didn't tested it yet, but this might work.

      @iandaemon said in Do 3rd party joy cons work with Retropie ?:

      They're just bluetooth controllers, right?

      Yes.
      If the wireless signal is exactly the same as the official Joy Cons,
      then it should work, I suppose.
      But no way to know for sure, unless someone has tried it before.

      @mitu
      Yes it turns out that the custom Retropie xpad driver was the culprit. I was pointed to this issue thread here, https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/3379

      I tried uninstalling and once again my XBox One controller worked fine with the program im working on (Chiaki)!

      I'm still waiting to hear if that solves my user's similar issue as well.

      Thanks!

      I tried multiple solutions suggested here, but to no luck. In the end, I just started the whole installation all over again and it's working fine now. God knows what happened, but it seems re-installing everything seems to have fixed it... weird.

      Thanks for the replies everyone!

      @discgolferusa Have you re-tried mapping the joystick buttons? I'm assuming it's EmulationStation you're talking about? That should be moderately simple. I seem to recall that that board has two modes - digital and... something other. I don't know if that's affecting it?

      @haverer For use with kids I recommend these.

      I love 8bitdo controllers, but it is easy to mess up the bluetooth configurations if you aren't careful. The ones listed above are pretty kid proof.

      @mitu said in Warning, Parsing error for "controller"::

      @mth75 the parsing error thrown by joy2key should be fixed by https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3370

      The underlying problem seems to be the RetroArch's auto-config file being incorrectly generated by EmulationStation. Is you left analog joystick working in games ?

      @mitu Thx mate, problem solved

      I thought I'd tried that option and have just realised why it didn't work. When you change the Port 1 controls to "Keyboard + Mouse", you can't actually assign any of the controls. You have to go back to the main Controls menu, THEN go back into the sub-menu and assign the ones you want.
