@mitu said in "No Gamepads Detected" upon start, even though there are definitely gamepads:
Does the controller have an additional D-Input mode ? Try switching to it and see if it's detected.
Problem solved, my man. I don't know if it was D-Input mode thing, but I found the controller's literature which mentioned you must power on the RP, and then plug the controller in, while holding the B-button down. Once I did this, the RP recognized the controller and we are in business.
I appreciate your help, man. Y'all are the best.
