I'm having the same problem where none of my controllers are working in game, however, I know what you're talking about, as I had that same thing (with the having to basically hold all the buttons to get it to open the remap screen) happen to me. Unfortunately, I have no idea what caused it, and I was only able to fix it by doing a clean install. If it's any consolation, since the install I haven't had that problem (just my current one where my controllers aren't working in game)

Any of the 'lr-' (RetroArch) emulator cores can easily be remapped per system. When in game, pull up the menu (hotkey+x). Next select 'Quick Menu' and then 'Controls'. Rework them to your liking and then be sure to select the save option for the system from the same menu.

This arcticle helped me find the right cable. The lag on a crt in minimal. Way better than the plasma.

@seffdog1 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - what's your system ? Which emulator are you using ? Give us some more details about your setup to be able to help.

It seems you might have re-configured the RetroArch controller settings for the psx core, try removing the core settings from the /opt/retropie/configs/psx/ folder.

Ok, told him that. Thanks!

@ajacks504 Hello ajacks504. Yes, I know this reply is almost 3 years old. I am having the same issue and just changed to "enabled" wherever it said "disabled" under mame. The next question is I do not have the line

input_player1_mouse_index = "0" underneath the device =" mouse line" anywhere

Is this something I need to add? I'm sorry I just don't understand all this. I'm not very computer savvy when changing the config stuff. I don't have a trackball yet but I have a spinner right now and I cannot get it to work or be recognized when playing tron. Thank you. hopefully this msg finds you

@askalangly deleting retroarch.cfgs and the back up isn't the right thing to do. we don't use retroarch defaults, which is what you'll end up using if you delete everything.

@buzz I'll be more specific and patient next time. I got ES reinstalled and now everything works as it suppose to.
Thanks for help.

Ok, I give up. The request was simple and would give developers early feedback on real world performance with each release, which seems to be of some value, based on the feedback above on rev 4.3. It would also allow newbies to quickly check their setup against a standard benchmark and take away a lot of subjectivity, saving them and the support team countless hours of chasing problems that do not exist.

Good luck,

Im putting the gpio issue on hold for the moment as for some reason my adapter magically started working correctly. I plan to revisit it someday as it would reduce costs if I built one of these for someone else but for now its on hold. However my arduino came today and should make for some fun here soon.

@bengdahl Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the exact same problem.

@meleu Success! Your solution works perfectly. Player 1 will work with the controller if plugged in, whether or not a second usb controller is plugged in. If just one controller is plugged in, player 2 will fall back to retroarch default as it should. Thank you for making this tool and your quick responses

@mediamogul When I change the controls in Sony_Computer_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller.cfg it changes the controls in games, but doesn't change the controls for the menu so I think that is good.

@edmaul69 hi. yes all changes were made within the RetroArch GUI. I checked QuickMenu -> Controls and from Settings -> Input. Both looked ok.

another thing you can do is change the retroarch video driver to dispmanx which is said to save 1 frame off the input latency. i haven't personally done this as it has some side-effects (no shaders, no OSD, no screen rotate)
