@Retro-Arcade-Fan Maybe @Clyde can elaborate a bit further on it. AFAIK he had tested/compared some Models (and made his decision in favour of the mag-stik).

@grant2258 said in Dragonrise joystick to MAME Emulator:

@Shazam make sure all your controllers are wired the same as far as buttons go this is a common mistake that some people do.

Let me explain whats going on here say you has an xbox controller in and set it up then plugged another in it would use the same mapping as you set as the first one because it saves the setup for that controller type(retroarch).

The same thing happens with the dragon rise its regarded as one controller type you need to wire them up the same so they all match and you only need to set one up for them all to work. I can guide you guys on mame2003 or 2003-plus to get started if that would help.

Hi Grant - I would love some help please! see my post here.... https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26386/dragonrise-usb-issues

That's a fortunate coincidence :).

@Halvhjearne
That's the thing I didn't want to do, but...

So I saved all the data from my Pi, formatted the USB key, and installed a fresh version of retroPie: I was able to configure the controller.
Then I updated the system and RetroPie, tried again to configure the controller: it worked this time again.
I restored all the games now, and it's still working.
I don't know what was the problem, but now it's gone

Thank you all

Sometimes my X-Arcade Tankstick will freak out in the RetroPie menu, but never in games. By "freak out" I mean "receive inputs as if holding UP or DOWN" until I make some input. It's annoying, but not deal-breaking so I just live with it. :( I know that's not helping your situation; it's just letting you know that you're not making a simple mistake. (Or maybe we both are.) Or maybe the controller drivers are wonky.

@colebeansbroskie if you have two sets of joysticks and buttons you have to set up the buttons the exact same way. You never have to configure player 2. Once you set up one, after rebooting your system both will work. If the buttons are different on player 2, it means you put them in the wrong order. You need to set up player one then reboot. Then go into a game that uses all your buttons and in that game press a button on player one and see what it does. then find that same button on player two. Now put that button in the same spot player one has it. Keep doing that until all the buttons match.

@egoo33 make sure you type it correctly as some characters are capital.

@KevTastic84 can you paste in pastebin.com your /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg?
