@rhester72 said in joy2key_sdl.py doesn't support my controller:

To make RA happy, I had to hand-configure the controller in Retroarch (GUI) itself and save from there, which produced the "not-normalized" device name in the configuration file.
[..]

OK, so the other possibility of a device name mismatch is the configuration being created outside of EmulationStation's scripts - in this case via RetroArch itself. In any case, this kind of setups will hopefully be better supported by joy2key in the future.

@enjoilogic14 said in No gamepad detected - total newbie:

I am able to get to the configuration menu but it does not detect my wired controller nor my wired keyboard in any of the USB ports

Are the keyboard/controller not detected even if they are directly connected to the Pi's USB ports ? Are you using a proper power supply for the Pi ? Does it work if you connect just the keyboard directly to the Pi ?

@tar
The bit I used was about the size of the shaft/thread, or so I thought.. the smallest I owned.
I admit I DID go full speed.

I'm afraid I probably destroyed the board by now.

I was using a 1/16 drill bit made for all surfaces

I took the bits to a local do it yourself hardware place (Locally owned ace) and they tried to sell me 2 things, a borer and this screw removal kit..

I've tried all of them, none worked...

I went ahead and installed the development version and it seems like it's fixed the issues I've been having. Thanks for the help!

@arvis1 NEVERMIND, i found the issue. In this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34661/solved-remove-pulseaudio-and-revert-back-to-alsa/3
The issue was that using purge on pulseaudio did not fully uninstall, so you have to go into the retropie setup as detailed in this guide.

You may want to use the Configuration Editor and choose to change the joystick order for the systems where you want the X360 pads to be player 1/2 instead of the arcade panel's 2 players.

Please add some more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

I assume that by 'not detected', you mean you can't configure it in EmulationStation ? Can you try to test the gamepad with jstest (see here and see if it works ?
Please post the result of the following commands:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices lsusb

Did you try updating EmulationStation ? The current stable release is 2.11.2, while you're still on version 2.10.1 from almost 3 years ago.

@DjDiabolik said in Retropie setup menu/Runcommand crashing in ES on Ubuntu:

@mitu Is there a way to find out the previous version to date and check if any new version has been released after all this time?

Not yet, it's in the proposed-updates queue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2/+bug/2085140

@vorvy
Do you have any update on this? I am currently trying to make the same controller work, but I am not having much luck.

@sugarfree wow, its amazing how you just solved my problem with only two lines of code. Thank you so much, words fail to express the relief you just brought me lol

Yes, you can use it.
